Saw every homegame when he played at PSV. He controlled the ball so easily, at speed. It seemed it was pure luck in the beginning cause it looked kinda clumsy, but he kept doing it so it turned out to be pure class.

Aside from a terrible performance in the 98 WC Final (what happened there? did he have some sort of breakdown before the game?)
an inquest by the Brazilian National Congress found that having returned from lunch on the day of the game with roommate Roberto Carlos, Ronaldo suffered a fit in which his entire body convulsed uncontrollably and the striker began to froth at the mouth ... A more plausible explanation is that the Brazilian had a bad reaction to an injection to assist a nagging knee injury, administered as it was only 10 minutes before the seizure.
I don't think I knew this last detail, I always understood it as likely a panic attack

Pretty sure I remember that when they did the team photo after the handshakes directly before that game Ronaldo could barely bend down.

I remember the official teamsheet with 45 mins to go had Bebeto and Edmundo up front, which was switched out after the deadline for Bebeto and Ronaldo with 30 mins left. The BBC's talking heads were all 'lol what a surprise' and 'who saw that coming' as if it happens every game, let alone a World Cup final
