The Sun are suggesting too much sex and Playstation are to blame for Ronaldinho's poor World Cup performance. His French model girlfriend alexandra Paressant apparently broke the rules by sneaking into the Brazil team hotel to be with her man. She also revealed that Ronaldinho would play "FIFA 2006" on his Playstation after their illicit entanglements.

The Sun go into some detail about Ronaldinho's sexual exploits, but I can't help thinking: "How weird would it be to play a game with your face on the box?"

My two favourite quotes from The Sun story are both from Alexandra.

On how she met her man: "I saw him but I didn't approach him because I thought he had the image of a playboy and I don't like that kind of man. But I left my room key on the table by mistake and he very sweetly brought it to me."

The bit where I think she's telling fibs is in bold.

On Ronaldinho's World Cup performance: "I know people say he didn't play so well in the World Cup but I think he played well."

Love is blind.
