Beckham, harsh.
Yeah, totally.
I remember watching it on TV and you had this period of complete confusion when Edmundo was named on the team sheet and then that was revised to have Ronaldo on the team sheet.
I remember the cameras picking out Mario Zagallo and there being this complete lack of clarity about what was happening.
We know subsequently that what happened was Ronaldo had a convulsive fit in his hotel room before the game.
apparently very, very scary.
Like Roberto Carlos has said, he was kind of almost in tears seeing his teammate in this state.
And yeah, looking at it all these years later, there's no way he should have played.
No way he should have played at all.
But Ronaldo was keen to play.
There was this big conspiracy afterwards that there had been some pressure from sponsors and
there was even a parliamentary inquiry into this in brazil so they took it very seriously but yeah i mean there's there's there's been a ronaldo documentary since and he he has always said that it was less uh nefarious than that but i mean it did give us a very funny ronaldo quote we lost the world cup but i won another cup my life
Which I think is very funny.
But yeah, a very memorable moment that was, but ahead of the final.
On the basis that I think we may pick Ronaldo for 2002...
Whoa.
I mean, 2002 is the Ronaldo story more than 98.
I will say, I'll actually say Beckham's red card, I think, is in terms of the kind of iconography.
I think that sticks a little bit more than the Owen goal for me.
So again, you... I love clarity.
