If Ronaldinho didn't already have the joyful admiration of every football fan in Australia he just won it with his
gushing praise for Guus Hiddink and the Socceroos. Quite well known for his encyclopediac knowledge of the world game and its history, Ronaldinho seems to know a lot more about the Australian national team -- or has a much savvier approach to communication with the media -- than his Brazilian teammate, Ronaldo, who has previously denied any knowledge of our supposedly low profile players. Ronaldinho, on the other hand, actually appears to be a bit of a fan of the way Hiddink has us playing:
...both before and after our game in Munich I'll be watching Hiddink's team with interest to see how they do.
It's a scary thing when one of the best players in the world admits he's performed his diligent research in anticipation of the forthcoming shoot out with our beloved national team. But it's also nice to finally hear some respectful, even flattering, comments from the Brazilian camp.
