text: Maybe but come on people, give the guy a break. Every excuse under the sun is being offered for Brazil, the team's, performance V's Croatia, so maybe there is an underlying problem people are not aware of with him. So he is over  weight, he is not the only one. He gets paid an obscene amount of money to represent his country, he is not the only one. How quickly one falls from grace in the eyes and hearts of admirers after a bad display. I'm not a huge fan of him but certainly appreciate and respect his enormous talent. He deserves an opportunity to redeem himself. If he fails we will all have the answer.
