Strewth! Who ate all the pies?

I had thought that the President of Brazil's querying of Ronaldo's weight was a little unfair -- until I started watching this afternoon's game against Australia. He is definitely looking quite porky, and his fumbles in front of the Australian goal suggest a man with something on his mind. Scoring a sausage roll rather than a goal, perhaps?

ETA: For some time now (er, since the start of the tournament), I've been trying to work out who Ronaldinho reminds me of. And I've just realised who it is; none other than that well-known patsy for the dark side, Jar Jar Binks! It's uncanny, I tell you.*

Jar Jar:


*A quick Google search shows that I'm not the first person to point this out. Apparently, ESPN Deportes calls him Jar Jar on air. So much for originality.
