The 2006 World Cup was the beginning of the end for Ronaldinho. That was supposed to be his tournament but he failed as the main man.

I read somewhere that he and Adriano had a party at his home after the World Cup exit, in Barcelona. The. Next. Night. Then clubbed. Until. 5am.
This, after his statue had been taken down in Brazil by angry fans who got upset over that exit.

And he partied until he left Barcelona in 2008, overweight, out of shape and severely lacking fitness.

This man had so much and he pissed it away with unseriousness.
