Ronaldinho Goal

Charles Atkinson
Posted November 27, 2006

Generally, my opinion on soccer is that it needs to embrace change.

Make the field smaller, put boards around it, shrink the goals, give the players sticks and skates, turn the ball into a puck, and turn the grass into ice. It also wouldn't hurt if they had a clock that counted down instead of up and actually showed how much time was left.

This goal by Ronaldinho of Barcelona almost changes my opinion on the sport. The video of his bicycle kick features the skill and athleticism matching that of any athlete in any competition...except possibly Kobayashi of the competitive eating circuit who ate 97 hamburgers in 8 minutes.

It's also nice to see the rise of a soccer player that isn't more into fashion than his Spice Girl wife .
