WHOA!! WHAT? Didn't his mama tell him not to play on the stairs? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

I'm guessing it must have been real bad, cuz I have slipped on the stairs once or twice and I remember it was painful, but I was ok ... Hmm, but to play those anonymous players ahead of Pato, it must have been something serious (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Weren't they blaming Ronaldinho for partying after Brazil's exit? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) In all probability Ronaldo didn't light the fire in the last world cup, and he was one of the reason for the bad performance. Another big reason was that dork Adriano. That guy shouldn't be allowed near a 1-mile radius of the Samba team.

Anyway, I agree with you that there is a 99% chance it's over, but I've built my life around the remaining 1%. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) Time will tell.

Oh dear. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Stair injuries can take weeks if not months. I pray to God it's nothing serious.

Yeah, I too have fallen from the stairs in my childhood (I have a habit of learning from mistakes) and it was really bad. I got 5 stitches to my forehead (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Considering Pato's back injury (even if it was not that serious - hopefully), how tough Cameroon played and his performance in the previous game (apparently not very brilliant) I can understand Dunga - for once - playing those anonymous players ahead of him.

Thing is, he played those anonymous players, cuz Pato couldn't get on the pitch. This sucks, when it is a back injury, you never know how long it would take, take an example off of Nesta (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

True. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Very true. The coach knows things we fans don't. Either way let's wait for more news to see the extent of the injury. One thing is for sure, Pato is certainly living up to his tag of 'New Ronaldo' when it comes to injuries at least.

I can't think of what will happen to Milan if Pato doesn't return from the Olympics in one piece. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Our attack is done for.

When I was in middle school I fell from probably 30 stairs, on my chest/belly, down all the way! I still remember the pain, it was unbelievable! but I had to act like a man, you know (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I stood up (with the help of a student of course) and pretended like nothing's happened. I don't think Pato fell that bad!



Oh come on, it can't be that bad. Nesta's injury is a pretty complicated one. Pato's is just a knock. he may lose the remaining of the Olympics, but it's not a worrying injury, I think...

Please don't say that (IMG:http://i36.tinypic.com/smdc1c.gif)

Exactly. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif) Nesta has missed months on the trot, and one of the reason why he retired from the NT. Pato is young, and I'm sure he can bonce back. But I'm not sure of Brazil's chances in the semis without Pato. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Let me know if any news comes up on the duck, R7, will ya?


I certainly hope you think right. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Neither Brazil nor Milan can afford to lose out on Pato's services for long periods of time.

I hope so ... Cuz really isn't a joke if you slip and smack ur back on teh edge of the stairs .. ouch ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Yes, but what if Pato also knocked up his head or something during the fall? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) I guess we can never know until we get to know the reports and stuff.

But my fall was more impressive than yours. I put in a few somersaults for the amusement of anyone watching and by the time I landed I had blood covering most of my face. But, of course, I didn't have the wits then to act like a man... I was crying like a baby. I think it was because I was a baby (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
