It is just before the England v
Brazil match. Ronaldinho goes
into the Brazilian changing room
to find all his team-mates
looking a bit glum.
"What's up?" he asks.
"Well, we're having trouble
getting motivated for this game.
We know it's important but it's
only England. They're sh*t and
we can't be bothered."
Ronaldinho looks at them and
says, "Well, I reckon I can beat
them by myself - you boys go
down the pub."
So Ronaldinho goes out to play
England by himself and the rest
of the Brazilian team go off for
a few jars.
After a few pints they wonder
how the game is going, so they
get the landlord to put the
teletext on. A big cheer goes up
as the screen reads "Brazil 1 -
England 0 (Ronaldinho 10
minutes)". He is beating England
all by himself!
Anyway, a few pints later and
the game is forgotten until
someone remembers, "It must be
full time now, let's see how he
got on." They put the teletext
on.
"Result from the Stadium 'Brazil
1 (Ronaldinho 10 minutes) -
England 1 (Lampard 89 minutes)."
They can't believe it; he has
single-handedly got a draw
against England!!
They rush back to the Stadium to
congratulate Ronaldinho. They
find him in the dressing room,
still in his gear, sitting with
his head in his hands.
He refuses to look at them.
"I've let you down, I've let you
down." "Don't be daft, you got a
draw against England, all by
yourself. And they only scored
at the very, very end!"
"No, no, I have, I've let you
down.......I got sent off after
12 minutes."
