Even God seems to have a soft spot for the Ugly Pele. How else can we explain the fact that one of His representatives on Earth (God’s not Ronnie’s), the Archibishop of Barcelona has stood up for him after his dismissal in the King’s Cup loss to Real Zaragoza.
According to Archbishop Lluis Martinez-Sistach, “The sending off of Ronaldinho was far too rigorous and it was one of the things that influenced Barca’s elimination from the Cup.” And remember, this man speaks for God. We think at the very least, God is calling for a replay here?
