I didn't call Crouch World class, did I?

'Cause I agree that he's not.

Agreed Lizzy!

Bring on Cris, Cicinho, Gilberto, Gilberto Silva, Robinho. But I'm sure the name 'Ronaldo' brings in a lot more money.
Ronaldinho did indeed not have a good tournament. That's partly due to a fantastic season with Barcelona. The other reason is that he plays differently than he does in Spain. There he's the big guy that can come from the left wing into the 16-yard box, play with Eto'o, score and make Barcelona rich.

In the national team he has Ronaldo & Adriano in front of him and Kaka, who's a same player as Ronaldinho, next to him, which clearly doesn't work.
Good luck to Parreira.
