Ronaldinho Gaucho

A couple days ago I posted an article which praised some of the off-court activities of Brazil's (and the world's) star soccer player. Here is a video showcasing some of his on-court activities.

You probably don't want to hear me tell you that this is fake, but unfortunately it turns out that Nike made this as a publicity stunt, and there's actually a guy inside of the goal sending a ball back to him who is edited out.

Fun fact: he actually hit the crossbar several times in a row while filming. Also, he did all those feet tricks himself - still pretty amazing.

Yeah, I probably should have mentioned that the "hitting the goalpost" thing was staged. The rest was real...he does that all the time.

Futbol es vida! Wow, talk about ironic! I just finished watching some of the other videos on the jogatv website. But hey, I hope ya'll are doing well down there in Brasil. I'm praying for you guys and I think it's really cool what you are doing for Christ.
