FOOTIE NEWS: Ronaldinho to AC Milan

News just in that Ronaldinho will be transfered to AC Milan in Serie A for 21M Euros or about $33M US. While he may not be the best looking player on the field (he looks like Dave Chappelle playing Rick James), Ronaldinho's footie skills more than compensate for his lack of looks. (Compare picture to link to highlights)

This definitely boosts the Rossoneri...(that's Italian for red-black or AC Milan)

In other news:

1. Former US Captain Claudio Reyna has just announced his retirement from MLS due to nagging injuries.

2. Sepp Blatter of FIFA has come up with a list of three potential alternate sites for the next World Cup in 2010 if South Africa cannot host it. There have been concerns of security and finishing stadiums. But this alternate list has not been made public, only that "it exists." Germany isn't on the list (brilliant, let's have the World Cup at the same location TWICE IN A ROW), but Mexico has already come forward saying that would be ready to host. No confirm if England (host of '66) is on the list. (Hey, at least England WILL QUALIFY...confused? think Euro '08.)

3. Sepp's a bold dude. Or at least that's my take. He also has stated that ManU should release Cristiano Ronaldo (dos Santos Aveiro) to Real Madrid IF he wants to go there...who is this guy? Sepp of FIFA to anyone: "All soccer refs should wear skirts now. Why? because I said so!"....."Poof! It is so...YOU ARE ALL MY PUPPETS!"
