Biggest Story at World Cup?

I posted this comment at WorldCupBlog:

I agree with the guy who talks about the breaking of Ronaldinho’s legs. For some reason this thought has been with me for a while. And the only reason I can think of is that what we are seeing is the emergence of the greatest player since Maradonna and perhaps Pele. We know that Pele was litterally “kicked” out of the WC in ‘66 when England went on to win. And we know also that Maradonna suffered terrible, terrible abuse from defenders during his prime–perhaps shortening his career and limiting his performances. I think that either consciously or unconsciously teams, managers and players may realize that Brazil will be untouchable with Ronaldinho in top form–and they may go after him. To see him “kicked” out of this coming World Cup could be the biggest story…
