Ronaldinho, the iconic FC Barcelona and Brazil national team player, has announced a boycott of the Brazilian national team, criticizing the current squad as 'average players' and an 'embarrassment.' His sudden revulsion to the team was reportedly influenced by Brazil's recent draw against the USMNT, marked by Christian Pulisic's decisive free kick. Despite his harsh comments, Raphinha mentioned that Ronaldinho asked Vini Jr. for a ticket to Brazil's match, and Ronaldinho later stated he would support Brazil in the Copa America. Ronaldinho also clarified that his controversial remarks were a collection of social media posts by fans and did not reflect his own views.
