On the flipside, he (Ronaldo) doesn't endear himself to the referees or the crowd by hamming it up both in the grimaces and the posturing when things don't go his way. I'm sure really rags on you when you're targetted match after match & the fans mess with you at the same time. I would bring up that Rooney behaved much better with the posturing when things didn't go his way (minus the apparent dive in the box.) This contrasts quite a bit with the Bate/Madrid game where several times players on BOTH squads did everything they could to stay on their feet. THAT, my friend, is what I prefer to see (ok, ok, that's how we played years back "It'll take a lot more that that, lad, to knock me down") I really hate seeing the latest soap opera during a match. BTW - who the hell plays football in the snow? God, I'd need a heated jockstrap to play there. Hats off to both teams. Last.... Do snowballs hurt less than coins when thrown?
