Ronaldinho signs for Flamengo

Another great Brazilian player giving up on his career to early on.

It's amazing what a temptation Rio ladies can be!

What's with all these south Americans being bottle jobs and going back home? Wouldn't have happened in my day!

Certainly seems to be taking the easy way out. I thought he'd be a great fit at AC after Kaka went, seems to have a poor attitude/lost his hunger. (not for food obviously)

You have to wonder though...he's done it all - literally everything you can do in football.

What could motivate him other than a tanned, g-string clad, busty beauty from Rio?

The main breaking point was the World Cup.

He worked his ass off to get back in shape and form and had a great season and a half at AC prior to the WC.

Dunga decided he didn't want him still, Brazil didn't play that well and he's though fuck it that's it, let's go and enjoy the sunshine, fame and money!

and put pressure on the Brasilian press to pressure the manager to include him for the next WC in.............

Maybe he just wanted to go home? I know that if I'd done it all, had all the pressure for the last ten years and was also overlooked for the last major event in my career, I'd probably be looking to move home and slow it down.

He'll be a hero there, it might be the easy way out but he deserves it. I'll never forget the day he tore Real Madrid apart 3-0 and had the Madridista's applauding a Barcelona player. Maybe that will never happen again, and I doubt it had happened before (correct me if I'm wrong).

More weird for me is Elano, he looked good, he's only 29, and he's moved back to Brazil also.

Saying all this, we are looking at it from our point of view; this is good for Brazilian football. It's lacking quality and it's rare for a player within the domestic system to get capped until he moves abroad. These players who can still do a job and can bring a better system and quality of play to the league are doing a good thing for their country.

good move for him

fuck everyone else he's got fuck all left to prove, he conquered football and now he wants to enjoy life back home

all footy is nowadays is a bunch of greazy fuckers with their hands out

easy way out my arse, he's just doing what the fuck he wants to do and mutha fuckers is always going to hate

love the video were it shows a teenage Ronaldinho schooling Dunga in the middle of the park. Ronny is a true Brazilian legend
