    The MLS is to every player what Milan is to Brazilians, if you get what I mean.

    Aging, Brazilian stars (Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, etc.) go to Milan.

    Aging stars in general (Beckham, Angel, etc.) go to the MLS.

    Well, he was born in Brazil, so I assume he's Brazilian.

    He's one of the best footballers of our era, so yes, he's a star.

    And he's not 33, but he is a 28 year old midfielder and seems to be past his prime. So I think that would count as aging.

    Put all three together and you get aging Brazilian star. :)

    He is not past his time. The guy is 28-years old! Players like him age well like Zizou Totti and pinturicchio!

    Ronaldinho's problem is not age. He just need to put his head into the game.

    I didn't say he's past his time, I said he's past his prime. I just can't see him ever reaching the level of play he had a few years back in Barca. That doesn't mean he isn't a good player now, because he obviously still is.
