Missing info[edit]

Article desperately needs some sourced info about the "Ronaldo fit" controversy surrounding this match. --Dweller (talk) 21:31, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Updates to the introductory summary[edit]

As per the {{too short}} tag on this article, I attempted to improve this introduction so it provided a more comprehensive overview. Could someone familiar with this subject review/update the introduction, then remove the {{too short}} tag? Peachmomoko (talk) 06:02, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ronaldo seizure?[edit]

Didn't the Brazillian striker have some kind of fit before the game? The whole Brazilian team refused to walk out when Ronaldo was order to play due to promotional endorsement requirements? I can't believe there is nothing in the article about this!

Yeah wasn't there an endorsement agreement that he had to play, so against medical advice and the wishes of the Brazilian team he was ordered onto the pitch. Hmm money in sports, you just can't beat it, can you!!!
