I prefer the Ronaldo one: ‘the ball is meant to go in the goal’

the original link was from gazzetta, but i cant seem to find it, and i did mention the source, la gazzetta dello sport! but here’s the english source from channel 4.com

(last paragraph)

it could be fake of course, dinho could be just messing with the media. but again, it could be real. if a regular amateur player can hit the crossbar 5 times in row at the same spot, then Dinho can do what he “allegedly” did.

that quote is not only translated, but doesn’t directly address the nature of the ad’s production. i could call… say the music video for “a milli” an “all real” documentary snapshot into lil’ wayne’s life and wouldn’t be lying per se. same thing. and we all know how liberal ronaldinho is with the truth; remember when he originally tried to suggest he meant to score on david seaman in 2002?

i can’t believe i’m actually getting into this, but not only did he allegedly hit the crossbar four times (not three) consecutively, which he may have done i don’t know, once in his life, he did it off the volley. without the ball touching the ground at all. oh yeah, AND he hit the bar at the right angle, spin, and speed so that it would come back to him at the edge of the area at about 5 feet above the ground each time. oh yeah, and he controlled it perfectly each time. and he did it in one take. and it was the first time he ever put on those shoes.

the reason people believe it’s real is faith over reason and an inability to explain how the video was edited. the ludicrously grainy camera and poor framing make people think it really was out of nowhere that he did this. i suppose following that logic, FIFA should really ban those nikes, because if ronaldinho actually wears them the other team might as well not show up.

if this is from an interview. where’s the original source? if it’s a webpage link? if it’s a magazine article, issue, page number it can be found

PROVE YOUR OWN STUFF. Otherwise you’re just as fake as the video is.

Its fake- I saw a video where some people used the same technique to do it themselves… involved the ball being on a pole… ill try to find it
