Ditto. It's one experience growing up with just a mom and dad, and completely another having grandparents in the equation. Plus it tells a lot about someone when they have respect for their grandparents, as in your case. Hope you enjoy every moment spent with them.

Dude... Snap out of it... You are getting too depressed... Get out and do something that makes you happy... That oughtta change your mood. But whatever you do, for God's sake, enough with the sad looking smiley...

You're right, Max.

Lol, I'm not exactly depressed - I've been through worse. Plus any day in which Inter gets kicked out of Europe is a day to rejoice, in my opinion.

king pato........... king patooooooo we so happy we have king patooooooo

hehe i remeber that celebration, i was at that game

and yes i hope so!

Don't worry with the school kid's current form he could be called up from friendlies.

i bought my tickets for that match on the 7th of feubary i got them with me now im taking my camera so ill post everything on the 27th of March photo, videos

^^^

That's great.

Max is killing depression! He is right...


I hope he goes back to that cause I don't really like the heart-shaped hand thingy...


Nice!

Cool video of two footballers doing some nice tricks. they're supposedly C.Ronaldo and Pato, though I'm not sure! Porty's confirmation is required!

I remember that video. It was shown before the World Cup I think down here.

It is Cristiano Ronaldo. It is NOT Alexandre Pato. It's Billy Wingrove, a pro freestyler.

Before the WC? two years ago?! how come it is added to youtube a few days ago?...

It was obvious it's not Pato [though he's somehow similar to him in this sh1tty quality video!]. I was doubtful about CR. anyway it was pleasing to watch. thanks.

WOW! at the trick that Billy kid pulled off at 1:57!!!!!!

I can add a 1960 Milan match on youtube today.

Early contender for quote of the month!

WHY IS THE PORTUGESE DIVING **** ON THE SCHOOL KIDS PAGE? thats disrespecting the school kid's skill. The diver can't even juggle as half as good as billy let alone play as good as the school kid LOL.

sorry, just dont like cr7

Watch the language please - m1ke

PARTICULAR SIGNS: PATO

3/13/2008 5:20:00 PM

Alexandre Pato was the guest at Milan Channel close to the Rossoneri fans: “At Milan I’m fine, it’s like a family and I feel at home. Ronaldo is the greatest" – PATO'S DECLARATIONS -



Alexandre Pato was the guest of Segni Particolari (Particular Signs). These are some of his declarations:

First thing, the Brazilian national team: “I’m Brazilian and for me playing with the shirt of my national team is very important. I’m happy for the call-up (friendly game of the 26th of March against Sweden, in program in London, at the Emirates Stadium) and I’m happy that Kaka will be there too.

“Cafu is always with me, he talks to me, he gives me suggestions and he's a reference point for the Brazilians who arrive at Milan. The Brazilian players of Milan are great examples for me, from Ronaldo to Emerson, from Dida to Cafu, from Kaka to Serginho: they have won a lot, with Milan and with the national team, and I admire them a lot.”

Pato has been praised straight away for his great performances during training, which were spontaneous: “I try to be calm on and off the pitch, and I try to do the best thing for me and the team.”

Many teams wanted Pato before he signed for Milan: “I did not have many doubts, I spoke with my dad, with the persons who are close to me, and I chose Milan because it is a great team, a serious club. Everyone told me that I would not find a better place, and then there are many Brazilians. For me, Milan is a family and a home. There are many people who give me serenity and tranquillity.”

Other declarations: “I still have a lot to improve, and each day I work for this. Also the Italian language! It’s getting better, but I study every day.

“The goals I like best from the ones I scored so far at Milan are those I scored against Napoli and Fiorentina.

“The best player ever? Ronaldo.”

Yeah.. then you wake up.

wake up!? no way man!!!! I have zero respect for him because of what he used to do in the past. Do you know how far portugal got in the world cup because of his "antics"

you'd sewar he's the only diver in the world.

you know how many games we've on won inzaghi's antics?

had to add that in

They actually did a decent job of translating the article, too!

The impression I get about Pato is that he's a nice kid with a good head on his shoulders. I rather like him.

i dont think he will end up like adriano cuz he is with milan and i think he will end up like kaka alwayz playing top football.....cuz that is the way milan deals with players

Adriano had personal problems we all know... and worst of all, Adriano was a Merda player! do I need to say more?

When at his peak, he was easily one of the world's top 5 strikers... but I haven't seen him at 100% since the Confederations Cup in 2005.

I know full well how far Portugal got in the World Cup because of his antics, but that doesn't make him a bad player, it just makes him a pr!ck. In my opinion he's the best in the World at the moment, by some considerable distance.

Best in England. A few step overs don't make you the best. He's different away from home, like most EPL players. I'd much rather let him prove his mettle in Serie A, and then decide on whether he's the best in the world. That too by a considerable distance.

He's a great, great player, agreed. No two words about it, kurt. But best in the world? Where does that put Ibra, Kaka, Messi, Buffon, Nesta and co?

In second place.

EPL is the league that has 4 teams in the the 1/4 finals of the CL...

myself i'm a huge serie a fan but i'm going to be so bias as to think it's better than the EPL right now, that would be downright arrogant.

ibra has 15 goals half of which are from the spot, but compare that with a winger that has what 25 goals?!?!? how can you even compare the two

kaka is having a brutal season by his standards and so hasnt performend well enough to be considered in the top ten right now 9thats right i could name 10 players that have played better than him this year)

if ur gonna talk about CR being all flash then how is it any diff with messi? thats the only thing the kid does with the ball. now i have no prb and he's one of the best in the world but when it comes down to is messi and ronaldo play similar positions and ronaldo has way more goals.

buffon is great but some would argue cassillas is the better now...

Messi is different. He doesnt use tricks to get past opponents. He uses his skills.
He doesnt dance around the ball like CR, the ball dances around him .

call tricks or skills it's all the same thing.

and CR doesnt just dance in frot of defenders he does eventually get past them.

With 18 yo, Pato is something out of this world. Probably better than those 2 and that age. What do you guys want?

This is Alexandre Pato's thread.

For what it's worth, I'm glad he got red shoes instead of the bright orange ones.

(And for guys who like looking at naughty pictures, apparently the lovely Sthefany is or has recently been in the Brazilian edition of Playboy.)

I am BADLY Agree !

Ronaldo doesn't need to prove anything in Italy, because he clearly wouldn't be as succesful because of the style of play in the league. Just like Kaka' would be alot worse if he played in England.

Doing a few stepovers doesn't make him a great player, I'll admit that. But scoring this amount of goals, as a winger, does.

I'm hardly biased, it's very difficult to find somebody who hates United more than me, that isn't a Man City fan.

Definitely better than C.Ronaldo when he was 18, and easily as good as Messi of two years ago. I swear I'm not biased (), I would have said the same if he was Inter's player.

Wingers were different back then, they use to actually cross and feed the attack. Now its different.

lol the diver plays wing? do you watch united games because he usually starts on the wing and ends up in the box. Hes in the box more than tevez! He plays more LF/LAM/RF/RAM then winger. A winger is like wright-philips or lennon.

That's right. they say he's a winger so his goalscoring record looks more magnificent. but to be honest his goalscoring record is amazing no matter where he plays.

and? you'll see that with any attacking team. unlike most wingers ronaldo is good in the air so he takes advantage of it. if the attack starts on his side of the pitch he set up the strikers,crosses,runs at defenders, etc

this isnt PES where every sticks to their positions rigidly and wingers stay wide the whole time.

no but the winger isn't supposed to be in the box more than the striker lol, where ronaldo is more than tevez.

C.Ronaldo is Pato's b!tch END OF STORY

Yeah, back to topic.

LINK?

Haha. Sorry, I'm the token girl. I don't spend time looking at naughty pictures of other girls. I DO read the Italian gossip pages, however, which is where I picked the tidbit up.

That's a shame. Girls who like other girls are awesome.

My man.

Tsk.

You boys are NAUGHTY.

tevez is the kind of forward that does that, he isnt gonna score goals by waiting in the box since he doesn't have much height advantage and what ur saying is a pure exaggeration.

my cousin is a magnet for those for some reason, he knew 4 or 5 of them. i used to love visiting him in the summer....
