Soccer and softwood

While Tearfree was at the gym yesterday, she not only caught the end of the Brazil/Croatia match, but, right after it, CBC Newsworld’s breaking softwood lumber interview with Ontario’s minister of natural resources, David Ramsay. Talk about great timing

First things first, today’s Soccer Moms’ Choice Award is going to Ronaldhino, who is the true incarnation of what the French call "joli laid." There’s no denying that the Brazilian star could use some major orthodontic work, but he’s got great hair and moves like a God.

Plus, if Tearfree had picked a third European guy in a row, the commenter known as Angry would have been on her case big time. We will, however give honourable mention to the blonde Croat who took of his checked team jersey to reveal a Virgin Mary T-shirt.

As for softwood, Ontario’s Ramsay pretty much convinced Tearfree that the PM is giving away the farm and needs to forget about his self-imposed deadline.

We remain, as ever, committed to following this urgent matter.

This is the problem with you Canadians. Your national controversies are really boring. You get worked up about whether some softwood lumber deal is being rushed by the Prime Minister.

Meanshile in Brazil, the president's in trouble for saying that Ronaldhino's fat. No wonder Brazil is a sexier country.

OK, the only place in the world where anyone would confuse Ronaldhino and Ronaldo is North America, and since, you're dissing Canadians, I'm guessing you're American and maybe, just maybe, you're that Georgia protectionist. Whatever you are, it's not impartial.

In any case, Ronaldhino's thin. Ronaldo's the one that bulked up, And just to make it even more complicated, Brazil's also got Robinho.

That Ronaldo guy you linked to Monday definitely wasn't fat.

How many ronaldos are there playing soccer?

Next, you're going to tell me that the entire Korean team is called Ronaldo Kim

Some World Cup questions that need immediate answers:

a. Why do they wait til they take their shirts off after the game to start embracing one another?

b. Why do they all apparently wax their chest hair? What is wrong with a little chest hair, I ask?

c. Why are so many of them so hot?

Hi Jacy,

I play for South Korea and we Asian guys don't have to wax. It's just the way we are.

Auf Wiedersehen

Ronaldo Park

My nominee for today's World Cup hottie: Michael Ballack of the German squad.

Very Harry Hamlin-esque.
