Although Eric was Dieu, I've always been partial to Luis Figo and his incredible thighs. I like my men kind of dark and dirty-looking. ≡ Click to see image ≡
Ah! I loooove Cantona! He ees like a papillon avec a foot of, how you say, steel? And such anger! Ah, bof, of course hees temper maybe make heem troubles, but what can one do?
Eef Charles Barkely was born in France, to a deeferent mother and father, and played le foot instead of le basket, and was 'andsome as ze devil heemself, maybe he would be like Cantona, non?
I'd say that's a very good pic of Ronaldinho. He was seriously battered by the ugly stick at some point in his cosmic gestation. Ronaldo is a different player, Hugh. Ronaldinho plays for Barcelona and Ronaldo plays for their great rivals, Real Madrid. Both are Brazilian.
There's also the Portugese Ronaldo (Cristiano), who plays for Manchester United and who is totallyhot.(may be NSFW). And yes, I know I'm old enough to be his mother.
I agree, TrishaLynn, Eric's got an arse to die for.
Gasp! Just realised that the nekkid Eric link should be marked NSFW. Hope me, taz!
Nah, I know that Ronaldo's a different player. But I remember years ago, when Ronaldo (de Lima) was the big new splash in Europe, Ronaldo Gaucho was the hottest prospect out of Grêmio. Ronaldo Gaucho changed his moniker to Ronaldinho to avoid confusion. No matter; he's a terrific footballer.
Ah yes, I see what you mean, Hugh, he changed his name so there'd be no confusion.
There's an absolutely wonderful Nike commercial on TV here that's introduced by Eric Cantona which shows film of the young Ronaldinho intermingled with footage of him now doing the same moves. Even at the age of 10 he was an awesome player.
