Ronaldinho vs England WC 2002

[VicRattlehead72]

a goal, an assist and a red card

perfect

[projan69]

ronaldo, rivaldo, ronaldihno, carlos, cafu, owen, becks in fanatastic form ! that was brilliant ! ; )

[MrChelseaBOY93]

Although from what you might hear England are one of the biggest underacheavers world football has ever known, me from being a life-long Chelsea, and England supporter, can tell you from the likes of beckham- gascoigne they are all good but what we lacked is a Xavi and a manager who has influence in the side too much arragonce from the players ie. Rooney, Owen, Neville, Carragher, Ferdinand, and no its not the fans that think england will win the world cup its the press.

[magacygana]

Hey, lets see Sport as it is. All countries think that they can win. Englang suffers because no matter how much money they have, they just lack the imagination to create opportunities. But this post enhances Ronaldinho's capabilities. Yes, tudo bem, mas nao vamos maltratar nossos oponentes. Brazil always had and always will respect any games whoever they are. England may be arrogant, but it is better to respond to that with goals rather than rash words. They are pitifull. E quer saber mais? BJS

[felipposgate7]

thanks

[messiiironaldo]

i remember watching this game live, when i first see ronaldinho dribble through mf like that, i knew instantly as well as ashley cole i was witnessing the worlds best player. from 2002-2005 he was technicly the best to ever play the game

[TheLiiusa1982]

Dinho is god.Best ever



[11Ronaldinho10]

what's the song name?

[chanster138]

that was better than all Beckham free kicks,

Beckham admitted that he can't do that by reaction at 1:38

[mikewth]

I remembered this as probably the most watched match in 02 WC aside from final. Everything came to a standstill, quiet and all people glued to the TV.

I doubt Spain 2010 can beat this team.

[in2minutes]

I remember being in a (high school) exam when this happened, there was a huge petition list signed so the exam could be put on a different time to the match. All we heard as soon as we got out was: Ronaldinho had destroyed England!

[manchesterunited465]

look at beckham's face 1:38...hes just like:omfg what the hell,i cant even do this!

[EArockerful]

On the other hand...Ronaldihno just blew England away with that free kick...

[hndrxuntilidie]

He did sent England crashing out of the world cup,lol.

[oluare]

I was in Australia during this W.C korea and Japan 2002, and i have to admit it was the first time i did believe that England could win. but that Ronaldinho´s free kick..........................­........

[Humtomorrow1]

@oluare hey! im from aus-but u no wat??? i was in japan when this happened...in yokohama...

[oluare]

@Humtomorrow1 luckyou brow.

[Humtomorrow1]

@oluare except i have no recollection of it :/

[25268788]

ronaldinho es mi idolo del futboll the best

[pucisfoot]

Well said Carehuea!! Written like an educated English Man. (You are not English?). Good spelling, good punctuation and structure. Rare in England, especially on these feedback pages.

[DanielSong39]

Was the ref an England fan?

There's no way Ronaldinho should've been sent off for that. The challenge was a borderline yellow card at best.

[rafaelpbd]

1:44 the "brasileirada" goes crazy!! brazil is the best football team ever!!

58*62*70*94*02

brasil

somos os verdadeiros campeões

we are the real champions

[andytownman1916]

beautiful player hope he is in SA this year

[jdotman09]

you dont literally mean beutiful do you... 0_0

[xpat73]

Every Englishman knows that Brazil are so far technically superior to England. that it's not even fair! This England team were average at best.....and could not beat Brazil when they had 10 men for 40 minsutes!

[felicito16]

not even kaka was on the starting eleven

[superdave31]

he made ashley cole look shit in that first goal - and beckham was to blame for that goal, i still remmeber that to this day - he was scared about getting his foot injured again and jumped out of a tackle from which they scored

[andytownman1916]

@superdave31 exactly as i remember it. beckham's a terrible player.

[Gravyman]

One of the most ridiculous red cards i've ever seen to this day.

When I saw this live, it was obvious he was just trying to stand on the ball, and that should only be a yellow card at most.

And I was pulling for England. Felt like fixing, but the right team won.

[donjohnsta15]

The Stupid English Press should just shut up and stop thinking that England are gonna win the WC every time,,that would surely help

[wwetony1987]

What a Fucking Goal From Ronaldinho thats why david seaman retired

FUCK ENGLAND

[cartex12]

lol that has to be one of the craziest red cards ever

[Carehuea]

The world cup is just around the corner which can only mean one thing: Here comes the barrage from the English fans: "yeah, we're are gonna the world cup!" ; "we're the favourites", "we're one of the top teams in the world", etc, etc...

The same shit every four years. And what ends up happening? The same shit every four years, ha ha...

Really, sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between arrogance/cockyness and self deluded stupidity.

[Frederickg27]

@Carehuea Almost no English fan thinks they're the favourites ever. It is a stereotype of the British to consider themselves the underdog even when in fact they are the favourites. Your comment is very far wide of the mark.

[Carehuea]

@Frederickg27

But Frederick, saying that almost no English fan thinks that they're favourites (ever), is as wide off the mark as you're likely to get. All you have to do is to look at the numerous forums, chock-full of 'English fans' proclaiming their inevitably victorious World Cup campaign.

[Frederickg27]

@Carehuea What type of English fan goes to forums? That's a very select group of people. I didn't say 'no english fan' but it is the norm to consider yourself an underdog if you're British. You obviously don't have much experience of the English mentality, and I don't think football forums is the best place for you to try and find it.

[Carehuea]

@Frederickg27

Forums is just an example. There are countless others. And I guess the fact that my mum is English and that I have spent half my life in England don't qualify me as having a feel for what the British mentality is like. Anyway, in answer to your question: What type of English fan goes to forums? Well, for starters, pretty committed fans. Secondly, I play football and nearly every English person I know considers England one of the favourites, if not the outright favourite.

[Frederickg27]

@Carehuea Your command of English would say that either you haven't spent long here or you have spent your time with uneducated people. Either of which might suggest why you hold your current perception. The fact that you have been talking to 'pretty committed fans' is in favour of my point, not yours. Again you are talking to a specific bracket. How many people do you play football with? 34 million? Probably not. How well do these English people represent the English?

[Carehuea]

@Frederickg27

My, my, aren't we presumptuous? What else can you tell me about my command of the English language, my level of education, my life in general or for that matter, an entire nation and what they think (or not) about their own chances at the WC?

[Frederickg27]

@Carehuea Probably a very similar amount to you. We are both having a reckon. But perhaps by your response I should understand that you understand that your reckon in its generalisation is as prone to inaccuracy as mine?

[Carehuea]

@Frederickg27 The difference is that my hypothesis (or should I say my 'reckon' - wouldn't want to give you a legitimate reason to dismiss my English-ness) is based on what nearly every publication (not only sports magazines), most TV shows, experts and every English person I know (most of them don't play football - that was your assumption) believe: that England are the favourites. Or should I ask lawn bowlers? Would that be a truly 'English' demographic? You seem to know who's really English..

[Frederickg27]

@Carehuea I haven't seen a single publication that asserts that England will win, nor have I heard anyone say it. I live in the country, If this apparent 'arrogance' exists I'm sure I would have heard some of it. Moreover, you would expect someone to be declaring that their home team will win - it builds excitement and support to have a little belief - and this happens a great deal in certain nations, such as Brazil, Spain, Italy, all of whom will be genuinely disappointed not to win.

[Frederickg27]

@Carehuea ... Sine your original comment I have actively looked for any of this type of encouragement, (interested as I am for some sort of justification to believe it!),and not found ANYTHING.

[Carehuea]

@Frederickg27

Lucky then I guess that the English team wasn't one of the favourites...

[jagonation]

@Carehuea no my friend, it's all the same and it's called argentina.

[rafaelpbd]

england world champion in 3072! I believe it! hahahahaha fucking losers

[edirpevitan]

Good one! LOL!

[bumermerc]

Damn it, I feel sorry for Ronnie at the end. Stupid ass ref!

[akimessi]

hahahahah stupid goalkeeper..3R Ronaldo,Rivaldo and Ronaldinho..the best team...go brazil go...FUCK ENGLAND

[MrSweatyPants]

yeh cus Malaysia are one hell of a footballing nation...

[JoeOneBlud]

@ akimessi

stupid cunt

[soterios11]

don't forget roberto carlos

[simon191982]

Kaka could'nt even get on the filed the front 3 were so good . Ronaldo, Ronaldiinho and Rivaldo

[BalldinhoVanessa]

Brazil will ALWAYS own England!! haha

[CARONTE8219]

super máster..... BRAZIL

[zorroronnie]

music?

[kasabianempire07]

Lol at Scholesy trying to tackle Ronaldinho. I remember watching this game, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Rivaldo were awesome throughout the whole tournament.

[waterjordan2]

ronaldinho actually looked skinny

[tope00]

lol, look at kaka on the bench.

he should have been playing

[rubixcuberpro]

beckham will say i guess i have to learn that too haha

[Sileni]

Beckham isn't good anymore after leaving Manchester United...or whatever british team he was from. ...Go Ronaldinho

[rividizd]

lol at 24 seconds.

Brute force cant win you anything!

[Snaily92]

Half Of This Video Is Of Him Falling Over, Or Fouling Someone. Not Taking Anything Away From Him But Why Have You Wrote "Look At The Skills From This Man" In The Description. There Are Hardly Any Skills.

[Pinkypinkmeez]

How the f**k it's a red card when Ronaldinho was kicking the ball not that faggot?!

[elptorq]

damm look how scrunny, ronaldinho & kaka look in 02 compared 2 how they look right now ummmm i wonder.needle..

[shoexy]

England is a fuxking joke to Ronadinho. England is overrated because of EPL.

[Snaily92]

Skills Don't Win Matches.

Playing Football Wins Matches. And The Best Football Is Played In The Premier League, Although I Agree England Are Shit At International Level.

[shoexy]

The best football is not played in EPL. It is played among SPL, EPL and ISA. EPL flourished mainly because of their marketing strategy in Asia and the use of the english, the international language. As you know, more money = more power = more fans.

[Snaily92]

Sorry, You Surely Didn't Mean SPL!!??

LOOOOL, A Shitty 2 Team League.

And, No, I Wouldn't Agree More Money Blah Blah, Because A Lot Of American Clubs Are Owned By Rich People, Without Gaining A Lot Of Fans. Also, That Formula Only Really Applies To "Top 4" EPL Teams.

[shoexy]

Yes, but i don't think the shareholders will invest all their wealth in the clubs because the investment is not as profitable as the top 3 leagues. So, they will put their money in better investments elsewhere that can generate better profits. In this sense, i don't think they are richer.

[abovejerson]

If Skills don't win matches, then what do you have to say about in England vs Argentina when Maradona scored those goals against England

[Snaily92]

Obviously Skills Contribute To Winning Matches, But You Need The Whole Footballing Ability To Make The Skills Count For Something. Which Is What Maradona Displayed. A Run, Skills, And Finish.

[bbiiggbbboooyyy]

ronaldinho has admitted that his free kick this game was an accident. but im also getting tired of england's constant complaining about their bad luck, unfair referee decisions, etc.

[yugoar]

He never admitted it was an accident, because it was not. He stated that he was instructed by Cafu to shoot because Seaman was of away from his goal. At 1:58 you can claerly see he is aiming for the goal, instead of the penalty area

[DWaq32]

Damn right. They were lucky to score a goal in the first place. A world-class defender such as Lucio gave them their only goal. England can keep complaining, they have nobody to blame but themselves every time they bow out of a WC with lifeless performances. It seems they can only make it to penalty shootouts because they lack the skills and talent to beat their opponents outright. Keep practicing your penalty kicks, boys, 'cause you suck at that too!

[5jorgelk4life5]

so true the only English players i actually give all the props too is David Beckham and

wayne Rooney those players coming from England are an ecception to the abomination wich is the National Team.

[duduvissotto]

Exactly !

England had two huge helps in this game:

1) lucio gave a goal to Owen;

2) the ref red carded Ronaldinho after a regular foul, particularly when he was THE best player on the pitch.

Brazil should have won this game easily 4x0, I guess we did enough to beat this pathetic English team.

[Szabmeister]

You just can't not like Ronaldinho! Just look at him smiling after that foul XD He's a legend!

[ExtremeVideoMaker95]

Ronaldinho------GET YOUR BLOODY TEETH FIXED!!!!!!!

[queenjay121]

if England had beaten Brazil..they would have won the world cup!

[dmac56]

if my numbers came up on saturday I would have won the lottery,

[caitlinchurch1]

england will never win it again

[queenjay121]

England invented the game called 'football' and BRAZIL learned to play it BEST thats why they are world champions...GO BRAZIL!!!!

[le4manxxx]

Actually it was china and if you dont agree read a book or check on the internet :D:D

[queenjay121]

i don care whether its china or whether its whoever...Brazil r the best....thats all i know and thats all i need to know

[TheTechniq]

That free kick really stunns becks and rest of the english players

[Slxp0]

what a stupid refree.

[OhMyJashin19]

lol red card pfff stfu ...

[new123420]

isn't that kaka near the end of the video ?an unused sub at that time..now one of the best in business and ronaldinho not even in the news!..hope he comes back to form

[bloodcumulus]

brazil did this a few times at the world cups.. the future 'star' goes but dont play, just go for experience

1994 - Ronaldo

2002 - kaka

[TADog1994]

2010- pato

[Pinkypinkmeez]

@ bloodcumulus: Yeah I agree

[VomitFromTheEyes]

I really hope Pato gets used in 2010. He deserves it.

[HeshimaJameni]

@bloodcumulus

1958 - Pele.

But wait a minute he was the star already going into that world cup!

[bloodcumulus]

here in South Africa 2010 we are going with NEYMAR, the future star, the baby of the team

[ezmilio]

What an amazing team had Brazil in Korea.... With Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Juninho, Denilson, Emerson, Lucio, Cafu, R. Carlos.... thats a killer team...

[spwl72]

That's why they won

[IMAYAYO07]

@ezmilio you said it ..

[lahij]

what wrong with 2006 & 2010?

[lahij]

marcos

lucio edmilson junior

cafu kleberson Giberto silva robert carlos

ronaldinho

rivaldo ronaldo

this is world cup 2002 brazil line up and squad 2002 brazil is much pretty strong, everyone say world cup 2002 france vs argentina final but went out

[EArockerful]

@ezmilio For sure man...that team was a fucking devastating team...there was no team in Korea WC, able to beat them...

[Humtomorrow1]

@EArockerful and japan...

[Humtomorrow1]

@ezmilio and japan...

[tjwhalan]

@ezmilio spain 2010 would probably beat them

[hndrxuntilidie]

@tjwhalan, Spain wouldn't be able to do shit!!

[a12r3m2]

@tjwhalan

Spain 2010 won because they were very luchy

[smit564]

why does brazil have such a high birth rate??? cause they can lob seamen from 40 yards. classic

[mrfucktheunitedstate]

lmao

[eevarn1234]

lol...roberto carlos looks like squirtle...XD...ashley cole owned!!!

[CaxiasFreguesia]

In Brazil when a player scores a goal he smiles, he does not show an angry troubled face

[sasori15951]

You know what I like about Ronaldinho? He's always smiling no matter what happens. Thats a sign of a footballer who really loves the game. Amazing player.

[TomAsbury]

best chance we ever had to win the world cup again screwed up by one player :(

wot a genius

[Ron80starproduction]

yes. its true <3

[jdotman09]

He didnt even play the whole match but he still managed to set up and score a goal

[Ron80starproduction]

yes :)

[edirpevitan]

Dinho was hurt when he got the red card because he was having so much fun out there. Like how his teamates try to comfort him.

[lplopes]

ohhh my god, amazing vd man.
