Seriously, this video has made me lose my faith in the human race. The three people I spoke with tonight about this video all thought this was real.....

Not sure that has to be in a spoiler.
It's *probably* not real. But frankly, I have a strong feeling Ronaldinho could do it for real, regardless of whether the commercial is fake or not. No man on earth is better at controlling the ball like he is.

I agree,ive seen him do some pretty amazing things but that crossbar thing was a bit too much to believe ;)

Well, yeah, that part was obviously not real. But the rest of it... I have a feeling is.

Oh sure, of course I was only referring to the crossbar thingy....
That's what makes it smart. It's a very normal looking video with pretty standard moves (for Ronaldinho) and handheld camera work. And then, when suddenly the impossible happens, you might just fall for it......

Nike has made shoes for Ronaldinho with real gold in them. This is what happened when he tried them on......
A very poor and repetitive Flash site was created with a re-release of 2001's Stephan Chow comedy, "Siu lam juk kau"?

Anyone who thinks any player could hit the crossbar on command from that distance three times in a row is an idiot.
God, I wish I could play soccer on a field of that quality just once in my lifetime.

I'll mention what no one has said, it's all good until he starts full volleying 3x against the crossbar. Yep ...
In any case, he's one hell of a player.
Anyone who's got soccer experience/skills can learn to juggle the ball quite well with some practice. I could do most of what he's doing back when I was 12 playing high level club soccer with the exception of the long head juggling and manipulation because I wore corrective lenses at the time.
If you watch the vid closely you can tell that the trajectory of the second volley is not sync'd properly. Too much unnatural vectoring.
