Plushtek: of course he does! It's a signature Ronaldinho move: thing is he can take it three ways, so the player defending has a 33% chance of stopping the move. He can either go to the outside, go the inside (as he does on the clip below), or he can nutmeg the player (through the legs, as you can see the player defending is worried about being embarassed with a nutmeg, he shuts his legs very quickly) Ronaldinho's control is amazing: look at the way he seems to 'suck' the ball back into position before he starts the move. We will be seeing more of that in 2006 with the World Cup!

JConnell: yes, it is very interesting viewing. It's amazing how many people get stepped on just for the sake of an idea, or for the sake of someone's or something's reputation.

Unfortunately I missed half an hour of last night's episode as I was celebrating a traditional Danish Christmas dinner with some people from Denmark. The dinner, though, was very memorable, and great fun. We had Roast Duck among other delights, and also sang a few traditional Danish songs. Had a good time!
