Ronaldinho did not have such a good game.

The Germans exposed the one weakness in Ronaldinho's game. They marked him tight and used size and physical strength against him. It wouldn't surprise me, though, to see him developing better strength and a more physical style as his career goes on. It will be interesting to see what Brazil will turn up in 4 years, with players like Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, and Lucio in their prime.

That said, Ronaldinho did release Ronaldo with an absolutely perfect pass in the first half, which will be forgotten because Ronaldo, forced to rush his shot by a very aggressive Kahn, failed to convert. If Ronaldo had scored it would have been remembered as one of the great plays of the tournament.

I would expect to see Ronaldinho making a move to one of the big money clubs very soon.
