It must be the start of the World Cup ’cause everyone’s got an injury (or faking one?!). Surely this photo shows Ronaldo’s blisters are not on his feet but his arse! (thanks to Samba Boys blog)

 

Ronaldo blister problems played down


Ronaldo trained with Brazil on Tuesday after recovering from the foot blisters which forced him off at half-time in Sunday’s warm-up against New Zealand.Ronaldo took part in a defence-versus-attack practice as the world champions held their first training sessions since arriving in Germany late on Sunday.

“If there was a match today, Ronaldo would play without any problem,” team doctor Jose Luis Runco told reporters. “The blisters have healed. “He was treated with a powder. It’s all been sorted out.” Ronaldo, who will be taking part in his fourth FIFA World Cup™, scored the opening goal in a 4-0 rout of New Zealand.

However, the 29-year-old limped off after complaining he had four blisters on his left foot and two on his right. Brazil start their FIFA World Cup challenge against Croatia in Berlin on 13 June.

Don’t talk to strangers..

England beat Jamaica 6-0! Amazing! A guy on the train asked me the score last night, and was obviously disappointed. So I added I’d seen them play against Ghana – and told him they’d lost 4-1 and was not surprised. By this time the guy realised he’d asked the wrong fellow to buoy up his spirits!

Anyhow later on to a party thrown in Bayston Road in Stoke Newington where I first lived in London. By all accounts Tony, a guy who was rumoured to have a flat in Manhattan on a fixed rent, was there with the sister of Cherie Blair. Of course this inspired the paranoia of some, and the amusement of others. I related the story from Doron, a barrister from Holborn I met a couple of times and who used to speak to his mother every day on the phone (sorry). He’d met Cherie back in the day at chambers and had been chatting with her, and voiced his opinion that Tony Blair was some careerist loser. Only later did he realise who he’d been talking to..
