Ronaldinho fluke? Did he mean to score against England at the 2002 World Cup? | BBC Sounds 

They still would have lost even if he missed, let’s be real

@@christopherweeks3629everyone knows it

Ronaldinho admitted it himself recently. They just know and understand football. That goal needed a lot of luck

@@MilesAnastasios87 "You can't say that [it was a fluke] because I was aware of the keeper's position and went for the shot at goal".... That's the quote from Ronaldinho... Still in denial i see. 😂👍

@ChrisMeerkat if you wanna shoot on the right and goes on the left, indeed you have luck by your side ;)

So it was a lucky goal afterall

Saying you lost to a miskick is much easier than admitting your opponents were better than you and this is always the case with England. Just can't accept the level.

It’s literally a show about past world cups?

That was a fluke in sofar that it was probably in his top ten goals ever and luckily it just happened to take place in a WC QF.

He miss hit the ball, fact. He was aiming to shoot but was aiming at the opposite side, he admitted this to Juhinho in the locker room after the game, look it up.

@@Colby_0-3_IRL_and_title_fights: did ever Beckham won Ballondor or WC.?? Nonsense 🎉🎉

Ronaldinho admitted recently he did not want to do exactly that, so the guys are right

​@@MilesAnastasios87But the shot at the goal was intentional I think. He just wanted to aim at the near post, didn't he? That's the football lore I've heard. I could be wrong though.

@@JarrettMehldau that means luck paid a big part

It’s a show about past World Cups, why are you surprised?

@@philwalksabout don’t try and help the poor lad

Someone call the cops, football pundits talking about football 😱

If a player shoots but miss hits the ball and it still goes in is it a fluke?

@@jimsim8736 If a very skilful player takes a free kick to go over a keeper who was off his line and he beats him, is that a fluke?

@@juantubey if they could do it 9/10 times then no it wouldn’t be

​@@jimsim8736 I'm not trying to make a point but look at Ronaldinho when he hits it.Hes not disgusted that he's mishit anything,he follows the flight of the ball as if it's a golf shot. That's why I am certain he meant it.

​@@jefflintonRonaldinho absolutely meant it. He even sped up his run up to seize the opportunity of Seaman's "bad" positioning. However I've heard, and I'm not sure if this is true, that he meant to aim at the near post top corner, so in this sense it would have still been a bit of a fluke.

He mishit it and ADMITS to it.

You can only defend who is in front of you. Young Ronaldo or not, Ashley bossed him.

@@nanaquashie not belittling Cole just saying that Ronaldo still wasn't the prime 50 goals a season Ronaldo at that time. Majority of that part he faced Cole, he was a lanky youngster.

​@brooklyn_domino speed wise ronaldo was quicker then at that younger age. His goalscoring improved rapidly with age due to his footballing brain and positioning, but his dribbling didn't

If anything that was CR7 was at his best dribbling stage of his career

He aimed at the opposite corner and mishit the ball. He admitted this to Juhinho after the game in the locker room.

Micah was nothing special as a player. Shearer was a great striker. Lineker was a great poacher. Would I listen to their opinion? Yes Would I take their opinions of the history of the greatest teams of all time seriously? Of course not.

Well said.....great player just wished that he would have played with more at peak.... Greatest joy watching a player in any sport

I watched it LIVE on TV. A few minutes before that goal Seaman took a heavy blow to the head. I remember saying at the time, he was concussed or certainly not 100% and felt he should have been taken off. I feel Seaman would have dealt with that 'shot' if he had not taken a blow to the head minutes before.

Mate you are talking nonsense. Ronaldo started on the left wing in that 2008 final. He was up against Essien who was Chelsea's right back that day. So, go and educate yourself before talking rubbish.

@@brianduru3753 LOL I'm glad you think I don't know anything because if you thought I did, I would feel sorry for you to think that a lame comment like that would outwit me 😂 I never specifically stated what wing Cristiano played that game (and he could play on both sides because he's both footed unlike Cashley completely 1 footed) but it is a fact that in the first half he & Cashley were chasing for a ball on the left ManUtd wing just after Rooney won the ball from Carvalho & made a long cross field ball towards CR7 (judging by your comment you'll also be confused with that but yes Carvalho "a defender" had been in ManUtd's half, you are allowed to move out of your position during play, defenders come up for corners etc...sometimes score...you saying Cole couldn't have been there just because he had an assigned position it's called being out of position) Cashley was about middle of Chelsea's half in about the centre until Rooney released the ball and CR7 was in his own half but the ball was going in his path wjere as Cashley had to run diagonally but CR7 had to be quick but only a straight run to get there first and I'd say Cashley did have headstart but also Cashley didn't even get close enough to CR7 to block the cross CR7 did straight after. It led to the close range headed chance for Tevez & Carrick rebound chance, that's just fact. I knew Essien started right side. But also that's even worse that Cashley didn't have to deal with CR7 as much that game but whenever he tried to he couldn't. Cashley could've lost Chelsea the game there & then failing to not at least prevent CR7's cross after he lost the race, Tevez had better chance of making it 2-0 than Cech saving. You would've thought that even if he couldn't quite get to the ball first he'd at least be close enough to CR7 to block the dangerous cross.

@@FootkerSnookballCristiano himself admits Ashley was difficult to play against. And he played against Essien in the 08 UCL to avoid Ashley. His goal scoring improved because his movement improved and he played more centrally rather than on the flanks. There’s no need to argue and use superlatives for something so obvious. Please do not write another essay.

That was 99% luck, a hit to nowhere.. Seaman was playing as a sweeper in some occasions, he should just hit it, the mistake was he tried to catch it but the ball was way too high. Anyway that was a desperate attempt by Nayim, just happened to go in, Seaman was very unlucky because mistakes like these happen to all keepers, his were in big occasions.

lol, meanwhile in that game Ronaldino almost made Ashley fall over. And in subsequent games he destroyed Chelsea defense with Ashley, Terry and Carvalho.

inside info 👀

yeah: seaman is out of position for the near post. you wouldn't even try to go for far post.

Ashley McKenzie??

No, he said he tried to score, but in the first post, and ended going to the second one.

Can you copy and paste that here because I've literally just heard him say that he went for it and that it went in and it was never a cross into the box

What does it has to do with this video ?
