Here it looks like he has reduced his belly a bit.
By the way Roberto Carlos is suspended for the next two games because of the red card in his first game, against Palmeiras I guess.He will have his first game at 20th February,maybe with Ronaldo together.I can’t wait for the 24th February,the first game in the Copa Libertadores!

Some pics look good some less good.Even Roberto Carlos looks big on some pics.
Ronaldo’s weight can be judged by how big his cheeks/face are.
If Ronaldo has a round face, he is overweight.
If he has a defined face with visible cheekbone outline, you’re living in the past.

Namelees you are pointlees . You put a picture that he doesnt look fat , whats the point .
If on all other pictures he looks fat and thats reality.
Oviously , in this stage and his age he cant loose more weight than 2-3 , he now has 97-100 so .
He just needs to start playing and hope that he doesnt get any more injuries .Maybe he will get chance but he will get it by playing good with kilos that he has not becuase he will get down to 90 , thats Sci-Fi .
If no injury he could get till May to 90 but we will see .
Dunga will soon have press conference becuase they play friendly in March so we will know what he thinks, I assume some journalist will ask question about R9 and then we will know.
Hopefully by the grace of God we can see ronaldo in the 2010 world cup team he is the best striker i ever saw in my life.AS FOR RONALDINHO HE seems like a pretender if u notice he only seems to be in good form when he plays against crisis and lower rank teams LIKE Juventus and sienna he jus isnt worth being in the brazil squad.but ronaldo surely do deserve to be in the brazil team anyday hes da best.
ronaldo surely deserve to make the squad again he is way better than fabiano nilmar robinho and adriano especially even on his own he is da greatest .we aint goin south africa without him.dunga gotta be a madman if ronaldo is in shape .all u gotta do is stay fit and slim and score and play lots and most of all try to avoid injuries.

He is NOT around 100kg! He is not fatter than at the WC2006.At the beginning he was more overweight than now,only at the end of the WC2006 he was thinner than now,and there he was 900-01kg,so how can he now be 100kg? In Germany the doctor of the NT revealed in 2006 Ronaldo was 95,96 when he arrived at the WC,so how can he now 100kg,if he looks better than beginning of WC2006??? Makes no sense man!

as for not playing for flamengo the notion is ridiculous. first of all corinthians are in much better financial situation than flamengo. they offered ronaldo a better contract. nike is their main sponsor unlike flamengo. also, they had a better team than flamengo before they sold douglas cristian and andre santos.

True words zox. And Dunga said today for him it’s the current performances which counts and because Ronaldinho had problems with Milan he didn’t call him up even he often had great games and he is not overweight. I don’t think it’s right to not call up Ronaldinho and I think Dunga is really very stubborn and fails to do the best for the NT for the WC,but if he now says it depends on the current performances,what the players do for their clubs,then it really just depends on Ronaldo’s performances at the Copa Libertadores! If he scores regularly and helps his team,is a teamplayer and is more mobile,than Dunga HAS TO CALL HIM UP,even I think it’s a personal matter between them but he has to call him up,there can’t be any excuse anymore,even Ronaldo is 91,92kg! The weight is just an issue if you can’t perform,but if you perform great and are really important for your team,what does the weight play a role for?Only because a striker is slimmer than the other striker it doesn’t mean automatically this thin striker is the better one!
So yes,all depends on Ronaldo’s performances at the Copa Libertadores!

Now,he is bigger than AT THE END OF WC2006,but not that big like AT THE BEGINNING OF WC2006. Conclusion: Now,he has to be between 91-96 kg,but because he is really THINNER than AT THE BEGINNING OF WC2006,he must be like 93kg!
It’s trivial mathematics!

I really don’t understand how Dunga can call up Adriano! He always fails in the NT,and only because he had one game (and it doesn’t matter if he scored 3 goals!) he is called up! Look at Neymar,e.g,this teenager,he played much better than Adriano, and Ronaldinho played much more games and often played good enough to be called up,but as long as Adriano touches the ball,he is called up by Dunga! I think the reason is because Adriano has psychological problems and alcohol problems and Dunga just tries to help him,to give him joy so he won’t have another depression and starts to drink again and hangs out in the favelas! I’m really convinced that’s the reason why Dunga calls up Adriano again and agai.Regarding performances there are really players who deserves more to be called up than Adriano!
the real nameless on
February 10th, 2010 3:08 pm
That’s not fair towards other players who does much more than Adriano,doesn’t matter if he is a striker or not!
the real nameless on
February 10th, 2010 3:43 pm
And with Robinho it’s the same.He had just one game after struggling at ManCity for a while and he is called up? Dunga choice this time is a big evidence of his un-fairness towards some players and his stubbornness!!! If someone still thinks Dunga is fair and is just doing what’s the best for Brazil instead of trying to get his mind through,I really can’t understand him!
Dunga is a bad coach,with this NT WC2010 will be a huge disaster.Mark my words!
Ronaldo said after getting an award that brazilian people should stop the pressure on Dunga and that he has to do his best on the field and then he will deserve to be called up.And if he isn’t called up for the WC2010 then because he doesn’t deserve it. And then he will support the brazilian NT as a fan.
So,it really depends on the Copa Libertadores and his performances there,nothing else! And I hope Dunga is fair,but I don’t think he will be fair,otherwise I don’t understand how he can call up Robinho and Adriano,after doing very less,but other players who did much more on the field and played much better than Adriano and Robinho are ignored!But in the case Ronaldo’s performances for Corinthians are great,no excuse can help Dunga anymore!And I think then Ronaldo won’t be that diplomatic anymore!And Ronaldo would be right!!!
This article says more.Ronaldo got the award from Carlos Alberto,a former captain of the NT,and this guy was appealing to Dunga and said things like his (Carlos Alberto’s) generation wants Ronaldo to play at the WC2010 for Brazil.And then he said people say he has to lose 10kg,but Ronaldo already lost weight,he is thinner. Then he said Dunga has to open his mind and that Ronaldo has to play for Brazil at the WC2010!
Later C. Alberto said Sao Paulo is not far away from Rio or Porto Alegro and Dunga should come here to see you (personally,from the near).And that Dunga needs a good mind because he works for a (brazilian) nation.At the end he said not only you,also Ronaldinho has to play at the WC2010 and that he hopes everything goes well and that both of them can help to win the WC2010!
After that Ronaldo thanked him and said people shouldn’t put Dunga under pressure.

I was exremely optimistic, but now I doubt that the king will make it to the world cup. Dunga is ass hole, he is still punishing ronnie for france 98, which brazil would have never made it to the finals without ronaldo. Ronaldo is needed in the team, not only because he is still a threat, and nobody has an intimidating aura like him, Ronaldo also need to help his cause by losing the weight

He is 98KG official weight.
all you have to do is look at pics from 06 to see that he is ALOT bigger now.
he is not alot thinner now, he has not lost much weight at all. As big as everyone thought he was at 2006 he looks ALOT LOT bigger now, please just google the pictures.
AGAIN. RONALDO has come out and said that he is NOT motivated by the WC, which is a shame because if he really applied himself the way Adriano has he could be a squad player.
He has already missed more games then he has played this season.
Lets just hope he can stay fit for Corinthians and enjoy seeing him play at this lower level.

and ysin, you are right, apprearance doesn’t matter as long as he doesn’t walk around the pitch the whole game, but that is it, he does do that because he isn’t fit enough. if he runs really hard and still looks overweight then it doesn’t matter, but that is long way away from where he is at the moment. perhaps along way away is harsh, but he still has work to do and fitenss to gain.

“AGAIN. RONALDO has come out and said that he is NOT motivated by the WC, which is a shame because if he really applied himself the way Adriano has he could be a squad player.”
I’m more than convinced you have no sources for such lies!When did he say,I am not motivated? Are you kidding? He always said he does his best but it’s difficult for him after all the injuries and he said he tries his best on the field to deserve to be called up. He always said he feels like a soldier who is willing to help his nation if they need him.
“He is 98KG official weight.”
There is NO OFFICIAL WEIGHT!
AGAIN: Ronaldo is thinner than WC2006,means he is approximately 93kg!
With your wrong theory you even say that the former captain of the NT,Carlos Alberto Torres, was lying in front of hundreds of people before he gave Ronaldo the award when he said: “People say he has to lose 10kg but I can see (from near) you already lost weight,you are thinner.”
Yeah,everybody is liying and blind regarding Ronaldo’s weight,even brazilian legends who are standing next to Ronaldo and can see with their own eyes,without looking to pictures or whatever, he lost weight!!!
Sorry,S-Dub,but I really can’t take you serious in this case!
Look at this picture: it’s maybe not the best picture and I DON’T SAY HE IS 100% fit,but do you see any belly on this pic? Or does his belly really look like at WC2006? IS he now really bigger than at WC2006? HE is bigger compared to THE END OF WC2006,but not compared to THE BEGINNING OF WC2006.Compared to THE BEGINNING OF WC2006 Ronaldo really is thinner now! Surely he has to do more to be 100% or almost 100% fit,but IT’S NOT TRUE to say he is even more overweight than in his bad days at WC2006!
Ronaldo has to lose 3-4kg,not more,not 8kg to be 90kg. Look at this,he really has reduce his belly,it was bigger,now it looks better.3-4kg and he is in great shape. He is really improving!

lol people are so ignorant around here.
its a FACT that ronaldo is heavier now because he’s more muscled. want irrefutable proof of that? compare the size of his legs now and at any period before. compare the size of his calves and thighs. now unless youre saying they also got fat, which is impossible, the only explanation for the rest of his body is that he is incredibly muscled. its a visual illusion. he has only 3-4 kgs to lose to be in optimal weight. and there is no way he is heavier than 95 kg.

I still can’t understand how people can say he is bigger now than at beginning of the WC2006 if you look to the video and last pic I posted! It’s something I probably will never understand even I really try to. I think it’s ike zox said,it’s a visual illusion,people confuse some things and claim he is fat where he is just really muscled (like upper body,around chest and legs)! Why didn’t some people recognize he reduced his belly? It’s not a 6-pack now but you can see it even from hundred miles away he reduced his belly! Last year people always said look at his belly,he is so fat,but now after he reduced his belly,even if it’s not optimal now,but it’s obvious he reduced it,the same people ignore it and claim he is fat by looking to his muscles.
I think it really has no sense anymore to talk about it.Whatever people think,let’s hope his performances will be great and he will score many goals,without having any bad injuries!
even if the guy is at his optimal weight people will still say hes fat. thats just how he looks i guess, but thank god there are at least some who know better.

this is what jackjonesioio posted, i have seen this pick before, as jack says, it is before the world cup and he look thinner than he is now. check out the pic and tell me he looks in better condition now, i really don’t think he does, not that it really matters, he has to lose weight regardless, maybe 3-4 kilos, that would be enough to eliminate the fat from his stomach and will do him the world of good, it is possible, just as long as if/when he gets injured he doesn’t balloon, he has to stop putting on weight.

The weight is just an issue if you can’t perform,but if you perform great and are really important for your team,what does the weight play a role for?Only because a striker is slimmer than the other striker it doesn’t mean automatically this thin striker is the better one!
So yes,all depends on Ronaldo’s performances at the Copa Libertadores!
Ronaldo played in Corinthians,Ronaldinho played in AC milan,AC milan > Corinthians,but ronaldo better than ronaldinho,I am not say that their career,and you know if in all career,ronaldo was best player since pele,and ronaldinho not in Top 20 ever,I say that ronaldo better than ronaldinho at this moment,why?I had seen ronaldinho with Ac milan in last few games,but ronaldinho had speed lose?and always have slipped up ,like stop the ball and dribbling,but ronaldo is very strong now,I had seen each matches when he played in Corinthians,explosive force ,shoot,dribbling all good!!!!
Ronaldo is very strong now ,like Mike.Tyson?and looks ronaldo in today is much stronger than ronaldo in 2006
majestic ronaldo!look like a male siberian tiger!~

GREATESR RONALDO!
Ronaldo is getting better in Corinthians.. He’s been scoring goals and not just a simple tap in goals.. Dunga must be true to his words and call him back to the Brasil team..
LOL he is alot bigger then 2006 nameless come on now.
ronaldo is strong, but mike tyson?thts a bit imaginative.anyway, u shud all know that your ideal weight changes as you grow older right?so a 24 year old man’s ideal weight should be lower than a 34 year old man’s ideal weight.i dont see what the big deal is about figures-if he can run around and not walk much for the entire game, then he is fit enough.end of.
ver tru ysin..if he performs ..i dont give too much of a shit bout nefin else
S-Dub,I stil can’t understand how you can say he is now bigger than at WC2006 if at the beginning of WC2006 he was 96kg and at the end 91kg?!
Now,he is bigger than AT THE END OF WC2006,but not that big like AT THE BEGINNING OF WC2006. Conclusion: Now,he has to be between 91-96 kg,but because he is really THINNER than AT THE BEGINNING OF WC2006,he must be like 93kg!
It’s trivial mathematics!
for all… both two games which Ronaldos played this year was rainy games… and you know, he seems much bigger when it rains, I dont know why… but he looks very good and I am more then confidance, that he will be in great form in 2 months if he will be not injured again… thats all… go R9!!
I really don’t understand how Dunga can call up Adriano! He always fails in the NT,and only because he had one game (and it doesn’t matter if he scored 3 goals!) he is called up! Look at Neymar,e.g,this teenager,he played much better than Adriano, and Ronaldinho played much more games and often played good enough to be called up,but as long as Adriano touches the ball,he is called up by Dunga! I think the reason is because Adriano has psychological problems and alcohol problems and Dunga just tries to help him,to give him joy so he won’t have another depression and starts to drink again and hangs out in the favelas! I’m really convinced that’s the reason why Dunga calls up Adriano again and agai.Regarding performances there are really players who deserves more to be called up than Adriano!
That’s not fair towards other players who does much more than Adriano,doesn’t matter if he is a striker or not!
And with Robinho it’s the same.He had just one game after struggling at ManCity for a while and he is called up? Dunga choice this time is a big evidence of his un-fairness towards some players and his stubbornness!!! If someone still thinks Dunga is fair and is just doing what’s the best for Brazil instead of trying to get his mind through,I really can’t understand him!
Dunga is a bad coach,with this NT WC2010 will be a huge disaster.Mark my words!

Ronaldo said after getting an award that brazilian people should stop the pressure on Dunga and that he has to do his best on the field and then he will deserve to be called up.And if he isn’t called up for the WC2010 then because he doesn’t deserve it. And then he will support the brazilian NT as a fan.
So,it really depends on the Copa Libertadores and his performances there,nothing else! And I hope Dunga is fair,but I don’t think he will be fair,otherwise I don’t understand how he can call up Robinho and Adriano,after doing very less,but other players who did much more on the field and played much better than Adriano and Robinho are ignored!But in the case Ronaldo’s performances for Corinthians are great,no excuse can help Dunga anymore!And I think then Ronaldo won’t be that diplomatic anymore!And Ronaldo would be right!!!

This article says more.Ronaldo got the award from Carlos Alberto,a former captain of the NT,and this guy was appealing to Dunga and said things like his (Carlos Alberto’s) generation wants Ronaldo to play at the WC2010 for Brazil.And then he said people say he has to lose 10kg,but Ronaldo already lost weight,he is thinner. Then he said Dunga has to open his mind and that Ronaldo has to play for Brazil at the WC2010!
Later C. Alberto said Sao Paulo is not far away from Rio or Porto Alegro and Dunga should come here to see you (personally,from the near).And that Dunga needs a good mind because he works for a (brazilian) nation.At the end he said not only you,also Ronaldinho has to play at the WC2010 and that he hopes everything goes well and that both of them can help to win the WC2010!
After that Ronaldo thanked him and said people shouldn’t put Dunga under pressure.
I was exremely optimistic, but now I doubt that the king will make it to the world cup. Dunga is ass hole, he is still punishing ronnie for france 98, which brazil would have never made it to the finals without ronaldo. Ronaldo is needed in the team, not only because he is still a threat, and nobody has an intimidating aura like him, Ronaldo also need to help his cause by losing the weight
just for the record ronaldo is heavier than 2006, i wasnt sure but looking back you can tell thats not to say he’s still not a valuable player for brazil. i pray he makes the squad, ugh dunga wot a twat.
He is 98KG official weight.
all you have to do is look at pics from 06 to see that he is ALOT bigger now.
he is not alot thinner now, he has not lost much weight at all. As big as everyone thought he was at 2006 he looks ALOT LOT bigger now, please just google the pictures.
AGAIN. RONALDO has come out and said that he is NOT motivated by the WC, which is a shame because if he really applied himself the way Adriano has he could be a squad player.
He has already missed more games then he has played this season.
Lets just hope he can stay fit for Corinthians and enjoy seeing him play at this lower level.
ronaldo in 98 in inter milan was best player ever and weight 89kg,and he was 92kg in 2002 WC ,94kg un 2006 WC,he was 105kg in 2008,but now ,he was 93kg
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Training_Netherlands_in_Weggis.JPG
they trained in the netherlands for a while before their first world cup game, in this picture he looks a lot smaller now.
and ysin, you are right, apprearance doesn’t matter as long as he doesn’t walk around the pitch the whole game, but that is it, he does do that because he isn’t fit enough. if he runs really hard and still looks overweight then it doesn’t matter, but that is long way away from where he is at the moment. perhaps along way away is harsh, but he still has work to do and fitenss to gain.
again he is 98KG
“AGAIN. RONALDO has come out and said that he is NOT motivated by the WC, which is a shame because if he really applied himself the way Adriano has he could be a squad player.”
I’m more than convinced you have no sources for such lies!When did he say,I am not motivated? Are you kidding? He always said he does his best but it’s difficult for him after all the injuries and he said he tries his best on the field to deserve to be called up. He always said he feels like a soldier who is willing to help his nation if they need him.
“He is 98KG official weight.”
There is NO OFFICIAL WEIGHT!
AGAIN: Ronaldo is thinner than WC2006,means he is approximately 93kg!
With your wrong theory you even say that the former captain of the NT,Carlos Alberto Torres, was lying in front of hundreds of people before he gave Ronaldo the award when he said: “People say he has to lose 10kg but I can see (from near) you already lost weight,you are thinner.”
Yeah,everybody is liying and blind regarding Ronaldo’s weight,even brazilian legends who are standing next to Ronaldo and can see with their own eyes,without looking to pictures or whatever, he lost weight!!!
Sorry,S-Dub,but I really can’t take you serious in this case!

Look at this picture: it’s maybe not the best picture and I DON’T SAY HE IS 100% fit,but do you see any belly on this pic? Or does his belly really look like at WC2006? IS he now really bigger than at WC2006? HE is bigger compared to THE END OF WC2006,but not compared to THE BEGINNING OF WC2006.Compared to THE BEGINNING OF WC2006 Ronaldo really is thinner now! Surely he has to do more to be 100% or almost 100% fit,but IT’S NOT TRUE to say he is even more overweight than in his bad days at WC2006!
http://mais.uol.com.br/view/99at89ajv6h1/ronaldo-e-homenageado-na-assembleia-legislativa-de-sao-paulo-04029C3672C8B93326?types=A&
Ronaldo has to lose 3-4kg,not more,not 8kg to be 90kg. Look at this,he really has reduce his belly,it was bigger,now it looks better.3-4kg and he is in great shape. He is really improving!
Nameless, I hate to say it, but he was much thinner before the 06 WC started than he is now. Ronnie still has time though.
lol people are so ignorant around here.
its a FACT that ronaldo is heavier now because he’s more muscled. want irrefutable proof of that? compare the size of his legs now and at any period before. compare the size of his calves and thighs. now unless youre saying they also got fat, which is impossible, the only explanation for the rest of his body is that he is incredibly muscled. its a visual illusion. he has only 3-4 kgs to lose to be in optimal weight. and there is no way he is heavier than 95 kg.
What is this? are you still argu? about Ronaldo’s weight
this is becoming to look ridiculous. He is who he is.The only important thing for him is to stay out of injuries,cuz no matter how big he is when he is on the pitch he doing magic.
nice video nameless!! he look like a wresler in that. haha. i would let him pass me if i’m a defender
but i can only agree with badboy. he is what he is. he’s in the end of his glistering career. he can do what he please.
now we as his fan must show our greatest respect and support. hope to see ur magic at SA ronaldo!!!
I still can’t understand how people can say he is bigger now than at beginning of the WC2006 if you look to the video and last pic I posted! It’s something I probably will never understand even I really try to. I think it’s ike zox said,it’s a visual illusion,people confuse some things and claim he is fat where he is just really muscled (like upper body,around chest and legs)! Why didn’t some people recognize he reduced his belly? It’s not a 6-pack now but you can see it even from hundred miles away he reduced his belly! Last year people always said look at his belly,he is so fat,but now after he reduced his belly,even if it’s not optimal now,but it’s obvious he reduced it,the same people ignore it and claim he is fat by looking to his muscles.
I think it really has no sense anymore to talk about it.Whatever people think,let’s hope his performances will be great and he will score many goals,without having any bad injuries!
Ok,I said no more weight talk for me but just one more try,I hope this time it works! Look at this,a chatroom user posted it:
http://terceirotempo.ig.com.br/img/upload/site.destaque_materia/19038_556.jpg
It’s from yesterday,is he still fat and has to lose maybe 10kg?
even if the guy is at his optimal weight people will still say hes fat. thats just how he looks i guess, but thank god there are at least some who know better.
for everyone who just cristises Ronaldo… Did you see that photos posted by the real nameless? do you really think that he has 100kg? he has 92-93 kg for sure… and I am more then sure that in 1-2 months he will have 6-pac… believe me or not… now I am really happy with Ronaldo, he looks awesome.. just keep up your work R9 and the world will once more amazed by the miracle man…

this is what jackjonesioio posted, i have seen this pick before, as jack says, it is before the world cup and he look thinner than he is now. check out the pic and tell me he looks in better condition now, i really don’t think he does, not that it really matters, he has to lose weight regardless, maybe 3-4 kilos, that would be enough to eliminate the fat from his stomach and will do him the world of good, it is possible, just as long as if/when he gets injured he doesn’t balloon, he has to stop putting on weight.
why does everyone keep posting that fricken picture from 2006 as proof the guy is wearing a DAMN JACKET how is it possible to assess his fitness??? but on the rest i agree, ronaldos problem is that he simply doesn t run, look at rooney he looks just as fat as ronaldo but nobody cares because he runs like a maniac. now people see a guy who appears to be fat and on top of that he doesnt like to run much they obviously gonna assume hes fat. but ronaldo is just exremely huge muscles more than anything else.
This is a very comfortable picture of Ronaldo because otherwise it makes NO SENSE people called him overweight at WC2006!If this picture really shows his real weight at the beginning of WC2006 why did people keep saying he is fat?!It’s just a better pic nothing else because we all saw the WC2006 and in his first game against Croatia he surely didn’t look like this.Again,otherwise the whole world wouldn’t have critisiced him because of being fat!
Why does every discussion have to turn into an argument?
