It was the group stage of the world cup and Brazil were to play the U.S.A.
The Brazilian players entered the dressing room, all down and groggy,
complaining that they all needed a challenge to get excitied about a game.
At this point Ronaldo had enough of all the complaining, and officialy announced
that the team could go off and enjoy themselves, while Ronaldo played the
American squad all by himself. The rest of the Brazilian squad agreed and
decided, Ronaldo is much better then anybody on the American team, and granted
Ronaldo's wish with great enthusiasm.
The game had started, and the rest of the Brazilian team were on their way to
the local pub for an enjoyable evening. The team passed by a bunch of T.V's
being displayed at a store, and the game was being shown. 15 minutes had
gone and it was still 0-0. The Brazilians all agreed that Ronaldo was doing
pretty well.
On the way back to the stadium the final scores popped up at the same store
they had passed on the way to the pub. The score they were all waiting for
finally showed up, and it read: Brazil 0-0 U.S.A. The whole team was so
very proud of their team-mate, for playing his heart out and getting a well
desrved point for the team all by himself.
The rest of the Brazilain squad finally came back, only to see
Ronaldo sitting on the bench in the changing room with his head held firmly in
his hands. Rivaldo went up to him and asked him what had happened. Ronaldo
replied, "I got sent off after 19 minutes."
