Where are his **es? Here is Ronaldinho’s new pimpy style. He is ready to decide his future in Barcelona (or out of it) in the next 3 days. Whatever it is, let’s hope he gets his motivation and football back.

10 years since the first (and only) French title. You probably did not know about what happened that day.

10 years since the first (and only) French title. You probably did not know about what happened that day.

Today celebrates 10 years of the first French World Cup title. On a match against Brazil, Zidane and co. smashed Selecao 3 – 0. But what happened to Brazil that day that made the entire squad dull?

Yep. AC Milan has vetoed Kaka’s trip to Beijing.

It is official. AC Milan has posted in its website an official note saying the club is not letting Kaka go to Beijing, to play for Brazil. That truly sucks. I think no matter what age players should be allowed to go to the Olympics. Here is what they said: “Following the news appeared today [...]

Fluminense loses Libertadores to LDU. Maracanã cries.

By Bruno Romani.
No other stadium in the world is as beautiful as a full Maracanã. No other stadium in the world is the final destination of so much tears of sadness as the Maracanã. The Maracanazzo happened one more time. The victim this time was Fluminense in the most important match of its history. 90 [...]

Ronaldo: big belly, underwear and cigarette.

Ronaldo: big belly, underwear and cigarette.

After this, it might be hard for Ronaldo to get back into what he once was – shape wise. The AC Milan forward was photoraphed in Ibiza, on a boat, wearing only a Calvin Klein underwear.

And the FIFA Rankings change again.

And the FIFA Rankings change again.

It was about time. After some World Cup Qualifying matches and a little something that went on for a month called EURO 2008, the Fifa Rankings have changed. A lot. Spain, of course hits spot #1. Italy comes in second (???) and Germany in third (shouldn’t they be in second?). Brazil has fallen to the [...]
