Ronaldinho Gets Snubbed

Ronaldinho was left out of Brazil's initial World Cup squad, Francesco Totti and Luca Toni were missing from Italy's squad, and Jamie Carragher came out of retirement for England as coaches announced their provisional rosters Tuesday. The coaches of the 32 teams headed for next month's championship in South Africa faced a FIFA deadline, and the lists include some walking wounded who hope to be fit for the tournament, some unexpected inclusions, and some big names who missed out.

This sucks. No other way around it. It just fucking sucks. When you're on top of the world everyone wants a piece of your ass but then you take a little time off from being awesome, throw on a couple lbs and no one will give you the time of fucking day and it's criminal.  He's actually been pretty good the past 2 seasons so I don't know why you wouldn't give him a shot. At least throw him on the roster. It's not like a washed up Shaq on the team. More like an aging Larry Bird and you always take an aging Larry Bird.
