The Death Of Sports: European Soccer Edition

As far as I’m concerned, there is no better equipped football team in Europe, nay, the world, than FC Barcelona. Ronaldinho, Messi, Henry, Deco, Valdez, Xavi, Iniesta, Abidal, Puyol, and on and on, really, woul any professional footballer actually want to play against these guys? Who on Earth could possibly want to mess that up?

Oh, it’s the Italians. Those damn Italians. Seems like both Inter and AC Milan are going after the horse-faced Brazilian and reports are that the latter has already struck a deal with Ronaldinho’s agent. Now all that’s left is that pesky process of, you know, actually dealing with the team that pays Ronaldinho.

At some point, Barcelona might just have to cut its losses and get rid of their melodramatic star as it’s clear that sometime in between the club’s UEFA Champion’s League victory and the 2006 World Cup, Ronaldinho wore out his welcome in Spain. First there was the partying, the lagging play and now this. Even after he got Barcelona to acquire the most lethal striker in the world in Henry, Ronaldinho still wants out. As if the nightclubs in Milan are any better than the ones in Barcelona.
