SOCCER LEGEND RONALDO BECOMES GOODWILL AMBASSADOR "MORE THAN 80 COUNTRIES HAVE LOWER PER CAPITA INCOMES TODAY THAN THEY DID 10 YEARS AGO," ACCORDING TO UNDP .

Think sometimes we should know what some of this players are doing and have been doing off the pitch, so on that thought here is some old news from the Phenomenom:

Real Madrid released today their notes in his last interview, and of course I bring them to you. so here is the text straight from Real Madrid's site:

Competition for places
It´s difficult for everyone because of this year there will be a lot of competition...

                                            The Brazilian delegation along with players that are in Brazil travels to Croatia on Sunday, August 14th for the next friendly. the players that are currently in Europe will meet them in stop at Frankfurt, on Mond ay.

                                                                        Parreira in an interview this week confirmed his intention of keeping his new tactic throughout the end of this year and into the World Cup.  Since he started using this new tactic he's  had to explain to the Brazilian media and fans that only time would prove its efficiency. Though risky as it may be such an offensive team, mostly everyone was happy with the novelty.

Only for the clear minded.

Tired of serious sports news? Well, time to smile for a change. These are a few jokes I've gathered around the net so far. I know there are many more out there so I will update this as often as I can... Got any? please just write away at the comment box on the bottom of the page and your jokes will be inserted automatically.

 

On the CBF press conference Monday afternoon, (in which Parreira released the names of the players to play against Croatia) the greatest news was the return of his assistant Zagallo.

What more can we say about our players than all the medals, nominations and cups don’t say for themselves?
Five players, Cafu and Kaká (Milan), Juninho Pernambucano (Lyon), Ronaldinho Gaúcho (Barcelona) and Adriano (Internazionale), all from the national squad, have been nominated by UEFA as best players for the 2004/2005 season in Europe.

As the transfer window nears closing I have gathered here all the transfers from important brazilian players so far. The seasons are about to start so pay attention to these swaps before you start watching a game and wonder what happened to your favorite players.

  Though Santos asked CBF to release the players, the Brazilian coach argued the importance of maintaining the same roster until the World Cup.

Santos, stayed nearly two months without their star forward, Robinho, while the negotiations with Real Madrid went sour.  Now that things were resolved and Robinho is back on the pitch the managers of the Paulista Team insists on having him and Ricardinho in their game against Fluminense that weekend.
