Hopes of a Home at AC Milan

Today was the transfer deadline and AC Milan seems stacked with Brazilian talent including Ronaldinho, Alexandre Pato, and their newest arrival twenty-six year old striker Robinho.  The Italian club signed Robinho less than twenty-four hours after signing on Zlatan Ibrahimovic from Barcelona. They both signed four year contracts. Robinho hopes to find a home at Milan after joining Manchester City in 2008 with a record transfer fee of thirty-two and a half million pounds. But the forward was unsettled at Man City and played the second half of the last season on loan to the Brazilian club Santos.

Soccer Crazie

Some Americans say that the reason soccer doesn't pick up in the US is because it is too slow and goals are few and far between. But, I happen to disagree wholeheartedly I say to those people that they probably have never watched a whole game to see how addicting it can be. You are glued to your seat for two forty-five minute halves waiting for the next goal and you can not do anything during that time in case during the few moments you turn away you might miss something epic. A soccer game is full of edge of your seat up and down suspense. Soccer is a dominating religion in some countries they worship legends like Pele' and Franz Beckenbauer.  They take time off work for the World Cup. They lay everything aside for ninety plus minutes for pure excitement. In one city in Brazil they painted every public building green and yellow for the World Cup. In the US half the people I ask didn't watch a second of the World Cup one person had no idea who Landon Donovan was. This to me is a tragedy. This glorious sport is not as widespread as it ought to be. And so I dedicate this blog to those poor ignorant souls so that they may inherit the joy that us fervent fans possess. This blog will contain everything to do with soccer from local school games to the MLS (mostly the Sounders) to national teams to individual soccer stars. I hope you will follow my ranting and raving over this amazing and unique sport!
