As Ronaldo departs Corinthians there are probably some fans who are glad to see the back of him.
Supporters daubed graffiti on the club's training ground walls last week, condemning the 34-year-old as a "shameless fatty". Corinthians had just been eliminated from the Copa Libertadores and the well-paid forward, as well as his former Brazil team-mate Roberto Carlos, bore the brunt of the fans' ire. There were threats made against the fading stars, and left-back Carlos has taken one more pay day, £5.6 million for two seasons' work in Russia with Anzhi Makhachkala in order to escape the goldfish bowl of Sao Paulo. Ronaldo has no such option.
[ i write dis blog in tribute to samir ... sorry to hear about your bro man ...and also in the wake of the world cup arriving ppl if India loses out and goes on to Underperform its ok to be dissapointed and feel pissed bt stop doing irritatingly stupid actions like in the last world cup nobody likes to lose not even our forgotten heroes]

The end is nigh. At his peak, a long time ago now, nobody played the game as joyfully and as freely as Ronaldo. He was loved, cherished and worshipped by fans the world over. But that shimmering mist of reverence has long since evaporated.
Michael Ballack, Andriy Shevchenko, Francesco Totti and Ronaldo were all born within a week of each other. But unlike his peers, the final chapter in the Brazilian's playing career is a tragic one. There will be no last hurrah at a hometown club, no suitable and dignified end to a preeminent career. He should command universal respect. He should have unanimous acclaim. But he instead became a figure of ridicule. Ronaldo slips out ignominiously. History is usually kind to the greats. Apocryphal evidence gives them everything but the halo and magnifies their achievements. But the dust has barely settled on the final struggle of Ronaldo's staggering and staggered career and he is gone and to be forgotten.

| Fernando Torres: Money Talks While performance takes a backseat |
And believe me when i say it we all are like this not just the Brazilian and the Corinthians crowd but also people like me who used to adore the Liverpool version of Torres , the pre World Cup Rooney , the well performing Sachin Tendulkar, The awesome Mclaren driver Alonso ... up until Torres leaves liverpool for money and starts performing like crap , until Rooney b'cms Booney and talks crap like leaving Manutd and Cheating his wife , until 1999 arrives and Sachin performs like crap and stays in the all because of his repo
And Even as i am writing this Blog we are forgetting our actual Heroes who r saving our sorry asses at the border and giving their all , their lives , their happiness while we forget those heroic sacrifices and wait for the mega event called World Cup ... we say " Crap the Bryan Adams concert is cancelled " .
This Blog might not be a very innovative and appealing topic but i write this so dat ppl like us be truthful accept our hippocrisy and remember the fallen heroes remember... wat our heroes even the small one like the sportpersons have done for us ... remember before we say crap like"dis guy only plays for money and not for the country ...""... the army is full of people who love war and not peace..." plz guys stop , think and then speak[ i write dis blog in tribute to samir ... sorry to hear about your bro man ...and also in the wake of the world cup arriving ppl if India loses out and goes on to Underperform its ok to be dissapointed and feel pissed bt stop doing irritatingly stupid actions like in the last world cup nobody likes to lose not even our forgotten heroes]
