Ronaldowatch™ Caption Contest

   

Ronaldo has been getting some criticism lately for having more paunch then punch in the win against Croatia.

Blame the fever, the blisters, or the extra baggage, but he just wasn’t the Ronaldo from 2002 yesterday.

Meanwhile, we ran into Ronaldo’s biggest fan outside the stadium before the Croatia game. Comment with your caption for the photo or make your best Ronaldo joke.

The winner will get my lifelong respect and if you’re in Berlin I’ll buy you a beer.

    You know, the shades do make his face slimmer.

    Quem comeu todas as tortas?

    Ronaldo takes his nutritionist everywhere.

  • http://portugal.worldcupblog.org Luis Paulo

    This fan nickname is “Bola 7″(7-ball) in an analogy with the black ball on pool. He is kind of famous here in Brazil.

    I think Ronaldo should play against Australia but if he keeps playing like a post Parreira should try Robinho against Japan when Brazil would probably be playing already qualified.

    I’m hoping Australia, with their violent game take Ronaldo and Cafu out of the world cup.

    Adidas Teamgeist the roundest ball. Nike’s Ronaldo, the roundest player.

    When you love the ball, you even want to be like one

  • Roland

    It’s like they were separated at birth, lol!

  • Pao

    Ronaldo is unfit to play football. He has been hired by scottish downhill cheese-rolling national team, Ronaldo being the cheese of course.

  • Roland

    Okay, okay I’ve stopped laughing for the moment. Here’s mine:

    “Ronaldo calls in his body double after receiving various threats from disappointed Brazil fans following their disappointing one goal victory against Croatia in the first round of the 2006 World Cup.”

  • Louie

    Ronaldo speaking

    “guys for the last time… I’m not obese, this guy is obese”

  • Pao

    What’s your favourite comic character? -Has been asked Ronaldo after the disappointing match against Croatia- Flash Gordo – replied Ronaldo showing a bit of naivety

  • Louie

    Ronaldo on the left..about to slap the ball

    “Yeah whose yo daddy *slap*

    fat guy on the right

    “this just in… Star Jones was spoted in germany”

  • http://ecuador.worldcupblog.org/ Trent

    lol, Flash Gordo and Star Jones. Well done.

  • Despite being part of the group who wants to see Ronaldinho replace him on the field, I’m starting to feel sad for Ronaldo. He did so much for the team over the years, he’s already a hero, but it seems it has just come to an end. The next match against Australia will be key to determine if he can still be on the team or he has to be put to rest in favor of the team.

  • Oops, I mean, “…to se Robinho replace…” instead of “Ronaldinho”.

  • News flash by way of SporTV: Ronaldo had a headache tonight on Germany and had to leave Brazil’s camp to go to a hospital and do some exams. Apparently there’s nothing to worry about and he’s already back to their hotel, he’ll be at the practice match tomorrow, but CBF will host some kind of press conference to say what was it about.

  • Beto

    His headache was the result of “brain Freeze” from too much ice cream!!!!

  • Denis Susac

    While evryone eats fruit and salads in the camp, ronaldo sneaks in Snickers, and Donuts under his bed..and when they all go to sleep, he munches away.

    Ronaldinho swore he heard someone eating, he first thought it was a rat but later found out it was ronaldo.

  • Denis Susac

    ahh i just made this one up….

    What do you call a fat Brazilian Person??

    RONALDO!! ahahah

  • Anthony

    Hey have you heard of the new overvalued currency in South America?

    It’s the Brazillian Pound!

  • conceicao

    Phenomenao: The guy Daniela Cicarelli
    left Ronaldo for.

  • fwembt

    Ronaldo: has his cake and eats it too

  • conceicao

    In Ronaldo’s defense: Roque Junior (at right)
    two weeks before being dropped from team.

  • Claude

    Ronaldo and his shadow. Is Ronaldo “FAT”? The shadow knows.

  • http://UNITEDSTATES ANTHONY

    HE HAS ONLY PLAYED THE FIRST GAME, GIVE HIM A CHANCE. AND FOR ALL YOU RONALDO HATERS, HE HAS LIFTED THE TROPHY TWICE. AND WILL PROBABLY BREAK THE ALL TIME GOAL RECORD. WHAT CAN YOU SAY ABOUT THAT NOW. BRAZIL STILL # 1.

  • Claude

    Ooops my bad. Calling someone fat is not politically correct. I meant to say “pleasantly plumb”. Please accept my humble apology.

  • Joel

    Hey guys be nice Ronaldo is just training to be a goalkeeper.

    It shouldn’t take long for him to get massive enough to block every shot on the brazilian goal…without having to move.

  • Sesshou

    The 1st photo is Ronaldo at now and the 2nd one forecasts ronaldo at 4 years to come

  • Nikola

    Hey guys…wheres the ball in the second picture? (*in his belley*) (think Fat Bastard from Austin Powers)

  • CTL

    A couple of supersized Big Macs a day keeps fitness (and goals) away.

    I think Gerd Muller’s record will remain intact after Germany 2006.

  • Harsha

    It seems Ronaldo has a scret tyre hidden inside his belly… LOLOL

    How about: My Nutritionist Failed?

  • Dave Hamilton

    Okay I’ll play, even though you guys should respect a great player more:

    Brasil’s greatest fan, Tub O’ Lard (right) harshly condemned his hero Ronaldo (left) following Brasil’s opening 1-0 win by interrupting his “three piece with red beans and rice” yesterday while dining at Popeye’s, revealing to reporters: “Well, I dunno what my brotha’s problem is, BUT I’ll ask him when he arrives. Pass the mashed taters, dawg!”

  • Louie

  • Claude

    Charles Barkely is retired and played basketball not soccer. Sounds like you have watchted too many World Cup Games on ABC/ESPN.
