It's the final of the world cup - England v Brazil. In the Brazilian dressing room all is not well. 'It's not worth it. It's only England'
'I know' says Ronaldinho. 'Look - I tell you what - you lot go to the pub and I'll play them on my own.'
So off they go to the local. After about 10 minutes they start feeling guilty so ask the bartender to switch on Das Teletext to see the score. They are relieved to see England 0 - Brazil 1 (Ronaldinho 8 mins). So they carry on with their drinking.
After an hour and a half they realise the game is over so check the score England 1 (Beckham 88 mins) - Brazil 1 (Ronaldinho 8 mins).
Shocked, they run to the stadium where they see Ronaldinho, still in his kit in the dressing room, head in his hands and inconsolable.
'Sorry lads, I let you down'.
'Don't be daft' say his mates 'A one all draw against England in the final - all on your own - you've not shamed yourself!'
'No' says Ronaldinho 'I let you down ...........I was sent off after 12 minutes'
