Ronaldinho’s Swedish Proposal
Ronaldinho loves the nightlife, loves the ladies, so the Olympic Village was surely a special place for him. One of the most famous faces in the world of sport and he was at the world’s biggest sporting event. But Dinho had his eyes set on one special lass, namely Swedish footballer Johanna Almgren (that’s her to the left, in case you hadn’t picked up on that by now), eschewing quantity for something else.
And contrary to what you may think, Dinho isn’t a wham! bam! thank you ma’am! type of guy. He’s a lover, a romantic. One night stands aren’t his thing, it’s all about the marriage. So when Johanna caught his eye, he asked her to marry him. Through a translator. How sweet.
“We rushed to the hotel foyer to collect autographs. Ronaldinho ignored all the Chinese and walked straight towards me. He looked me deep in the eyes, took my hand and kissed it. I almost fainted,” said Almgren in a meeting with fans after her return from Beijing last week.
But that proved to be only the beginning to Johanna Almgren’s flirt with her idol and later that evening the phone rang in her hotel room.
“Somebody said in broken English that he was calling on behalf of Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho wanted me to come up to his room.”
“Unfortunately he (Ronaldinho) can not speak much English. My Spanish and Portuguese are appalling and so the conversation consisted of mostly sign language,” said Almgren.
“The interpreter said that Ronaldinho asked if I would like to marry him. I was shocked and replied immediately: No!”
Couple of pointers to Ronaldinho for any future proposals:
1. Make sure they don’t have a boyfriend/fiance first. She does. As you might imagine, he wasn’t enjoying this story as much as we are. (”Hey, honey, by the way, I was up in Ronaldinho’s hotel room in Beijing and he asked my hand in matrimony.” Yes, I’m sure that’s just what he was looking forward to hearing upon her return.)
2. At least one date is recommended before popping the question. Unless you’re from Alabama. In which case it’s one family reunion.
3. Have some printouts of your advertising income ready and then pop the question. It may not work, but at least a couple will say “hold on, can I see those numbers again?“.

By Dp | August 27th, 2008 at 3:56 pm As ridiculously rich and famous as Ronaldinho is, he’s also ridiculously ugly. Epically so, in fact. So, even when he’s completely on his game, he’s still has to work harder than most.

By Al | August 27th, 2008 at 7:53 pm this is hilarious, Ronaldinho must have been on a mission while at the Olympics. I just returned home from Beijing and ‘Ronny’ pulled pretty much the same trick on a friend of mine. We were at a club when Ronaldinho spotted my friend and asked her to join him in vip. We spent the rest of the night in a private room, dancing, drinking champaign and vodka red bull with him.

By Matt | August 27th, 2008 at 8:34 pm I disagree bobby, I can see where Ronny was digging on her. I’d marry her, plus she wouldn’t gripe when I watch football all day. I can bring her to the pub and she looks like she can have a pint or two! Shame about the fiancee though…

By Corey | August 28th, 2008 at 6:33 am As far as a female soccer playe goes, she is pretty attractive. But Dinho kissing her hand and she almost fainted? Uhhh, his snaggle teeth would surely scare a woman away, as they already frighten the neighborhood children.

By ben | August 28th, 2008 at 7:24 am Well, that explains why he spent most of his time on the pitch walking around in a daze. The man’s in love! Or maybe it was the poor fitness.
By Shane | August 28th, 2008 at 7:53 am Swedish chicks are hot. Ronnie knows this.

By leo | August 28th, 2008 at 10:06 am honest mistake by the interpreter
(she admitted herself that the interpreter’s English is pretty bad!)
“Let’s fuck!” sounds pretty close to “Would you marry me?”, if you ask me.
