well, you changed your argument. first was the pride thing and i disagree. now it's the obligation or something like that, and i disagree as well. but it's ok, i like to discuss with you.Kibe Kru said:
i guess ronaldo is the only one to bitch about that because he has the guts to do it. i'm sure he's not the only one who does not want to play the tournament. i couldn't say for sure that ronaldinho and others do want to play the confederations cup, really. anyway, why should ronaldo accept cbf decisions just because other players who are playing better than him don't do it?
i don't think your comparison with the classes and the job is good enough because we're talking about ronaldo and cbf (parreira is so submissive to cbf i'm not considering him). considering ronaldo's condition (he's highly ranked and guaranteed on the squad), he can do what he did. a student or a employee can't do the same, except if the employee is so good he can do almost anything with no fear -- something like what happens to ronaldo.
but that's not the question exactly, because i'd support any player -- good or bad -- in the same situation. i hate cris, but i'd applause him if he did it.
not wanting to play for the nt in a competition but still wanting to play for another might not help in anything at all, but it won't make things worse as well! so, why be against it?
we know cbf is crap but when a player argues with it, we complain? only because "it's not going to help?" it sounds so accommodating, for god's sake. we should congratulate him, we should comemorate it. that's only my opinion, of course.
grunger, your question is simple -- he needs a break, but not immediately. he's not tired right now. but he needs a break to keep himself physically decent. it's important, stupid cbf should realize that, but all they think is $$$$. the fatigue was one of the main reasons argentina and france failed on the last world cup.
he was sent off in the last game
