Ronaldinho really had a lot to do with many of those goals (including scoring his own brace)... we really need these two back. They've become quite a duo... and I wish for a fast recovery of Kaka because he too connects well with Pato.

I just watched the rerun of Brazil-New Zealand and was surprised by a few things. first is that Pato gets little service. he wasn't fed well but he managed to score on one of the few opportunities he got. that's very important for a striker! another reason to wonder was Ronaldinho. I don't care what his bashers say; he surely is getting back to his best. of course he's still not there, but he's getting there little by little. he had a great game today.

I was convinced about him when I saw the highlights of that RonnieXI vs MessiXI game. Ronnie was like a bag full of tricks taking it out of the hat one by one like those bunnies.

So true Grande Pato ! and Grande Ronaldinho will it be Brazil vs Argentina in the Final (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

I'd rather see Brazil-Italy in the final. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (With Brazil thrashing the Argies on the way)

Indeed. Especially with tactical football Milan plays a striker like that is important. Shevchenko was like that before he moved to Chelsea. Ronaldinho certainly is getting back to his old form. I think the Olympics were a great stepping stone for him to get back into form. Not some irrelevant friendly games.

Argentina was very unimpressive, and Riquelme gave so many passes away. OMG. THey all did. Lavezzi scored by luck. Argentina had so many chances and close to 80% of possession but they squandered most of it. They had two uninspiring games, and Messi isn't all that. I can say Ronaldinho and Rossi/Giovinco has left more an impression.

speaking of olympic performances...i saw this goal, and it instantly became one of my favorite goals of all time. This Sao Paolo midfielder Hernanes produces something of ABSOLUTE master-class, and he also has diego to thank..Hernanes i believe plays in the pirlo role but is clearly more than comfortable coming forward..

But he has improved A LOT since that game, which is only good. that was a friendly and perhaps the defenders didn't take it hard on him. but it's a completely different story now. playing like this in the Olympics, even if the opponent was New Zealand, shows he's getting his mojo back.

I'd rather see Brazil-Italy in the final. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (With Brazil thrashing the Argies on the way)

And what if Italy lost to Brazil with a Pato goal? you'd hate him! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Really!?

I haven't watched them play yet but I thought they have a strong team, at least on paper. Messi, Lavezzi, Aguero, even their Turtle... and not to mention they're the defending champions. hope what you say turns out to be the case in the end. I can't stand Argies winning two consecutive Olympic gold medals while Brazil's yet to win any.

The Argies have been a lot like Milan was last season. Pretty play but having a hard time finding the net. That in itself is rather shocking given who they've got in attack (Messi, Aguerro, Lavezzi and Riquelme). They've only scored 3 goals so far in the tournament. I'd have expected more.

Then they will have problems if they face Brazil. Selecao's defense is rather good!... but it's fair to mention they've played against stronger opponents compared to Italy and Brazil.
