within 20 minutes, he's had 2 assists vs sampdoria and barely missed a free kick! dunga would be stupid to not take him to the world cup!

they should have called him up by now for Brazil. And he played wonderful today with 2 assist and the free kick was amazing. He got subbed off because of an injury but hopefully it isn't nothing to serious. And also Dunga has annouced that he will drop out of being the Brazil national team coach after the world cup ends, even if they win. He wants to be a club manager.

* Meanwhile, Ronaldinho, a former team-mate of Messi, was voted World Soccer's Player of the Decade. Based on the votes cast by readers in the 10 annual votes between 2000 and 2009, the Brazilian – who was our World Player of the Year in 2004 and 2005 – is the outstanding performer of the past 10 years.

I like the votes. It makes more sense than the Fifa World Player of the year. I agree with almost everything but I think Laurent Blanc shouldve been ranked higher

I'm so happy for Dinho! :)

He looks so tired this season, mind. Not in terms of fitness, I mean his eyes. Or is that just me?

I feel happy for Ronaldinho to win the player of the decade award, which I didn't know existed. His form with Milan right now is great, but not as great how he was playing when he was in his prime.

Anxiously waiting for the next match
ronnie should go to MLS with henry then he could have some fun LA would be perfect for him

Awesome to see the man back in good form. He won't be able to be the player he once was but he's still pretty awesome. I always said he needed to adjust his game to run less and to put in more passes, now that he has he's got a new lease on life as a footballer.

Visca el filòsof!
Looking at the "Player of the decade" award it seems to show how short people's memories are with the list heavily biased towards players who have performed better in the second half of the decade.
