I would say that more than one billion people know about and/or pursue competive soccer games, whether it be in corn fields in Mexico/India or across Europe and on in to Russia.
TN high school soccer is weak compared to areas like NC, TX, FL, CA, IL, MI... that being said, Ronaldinho can dribble anyone he wants whenever the heck he wants to.
Robinho/Eto'o/Kaka/Adriano/Crespo/Henry/Del Piero/Lampard/Nedved.....the man is head and shoulders above every single one of them. The list goes on and on and on and on and the fact is that no one on that growing list is better. The man is absolutely born to play soccer. Brazilians believe they are born with a rhytmic aspect that enables them to control their body easily, it is called Ginga. All those guys I listed have "ginga" but Ronaldinho is the only player in the world that if he has the ball you better have snipers in the crowd ready to pull the trigger before he does.
The ignorance on this board is overwhelming, but for a person from middle TN I am used to it and I feel redeemed after watching 11/19/2005 yield the single greatest day of my life: Tennessee 24 Vanderbilt 28. The attitude bringing down the treasured/cherished Vol program is aparent here and your arrogance will bring you down harshly if you are ever on the same field/court as Ronaldinho because the man will cause you to tear your ACL just attempting to stay with him.
