I know I’ve been wrong a few times in life. But I’ve never been as wrong as I was about Robinho. It was crystal clear to me that the guy would be a new Denilson: the purposeless dribbler with no use but entertaining. And don’t get me wrong. Entertainment is very good; I love it. Just as long as I’m winning.
Hence, as disturbing as it is to watch Robinho’s ridiculous thumb-sucking goal celebration, I have to admit that seeing him finger point Carsley’s face yesterday, moments before scoring the victory goal (1-0 against Rep. of Ireland) between the legs of that scary ass bald Irishman made me think.

Robinho is a great player. Now what do you make of that?
