Old and chubby, but with an amazing nose for the ball and the goal. But overall, based on the last year, I think Ronaldinho is the man.
What is truly amazing to me is to see other Brazilians like Elber and Ailton lead their leagues in scoring while not even getting a sniff at their national team. Brazil is going to be an overwhelming favorite in Germany next summer.
