Ronaldinho Joins 50 Cent On Stage

Brazilian superstar Ronaldinho is arguably the best soccer player of the past decade. He didn’t take part in the World Cup, but that hasn’t stopped him from getting action off the pitch.

Rapper 50 Cent recently performed in Rio de Janeiro, where he brought out the special guest to the chant of “Ole Ole Ole.” The soccer stud seemed to take the limelight in full stride.

Ronaldinho is back with AC Milan to start preseason training, although he could be on the way out to a new destination soon, possibly the Los Angeles Galaxy of the MLS.

With the recent acquisition of Thierry Henry by the New York Red Bulls, the MLS is looking stronger and more appealing in the post-2010 World Cup era. I can only imagine the havoc Landon Donovan and Ronaldinho would wreak in the same midfield against the below-average competition of the MLS.

Joe Biden at the World Cup While Obama Deals With the Oil Spill

As BP’s oil spill disaster has consumed America, President Obama has had to devote most of his time and attention toward it. Joe Biden on the other hand is in a different situation, or should I say country.

While President Obama deals with the disastrous event in the gulf, Vice President Biden will be in South Africa attending the World Cup, “representing the United States” as he puts it.

Obama wasn’t too thrilled about Biden’s departure. “I am honored to be (here) representing the United States. The president is angry,” as he puts it.

Apparently Biden is part-Irish, saying “In the spirit of a genuine Irishman, we are going to beat England.” Surprisingly no one asked him why Ireland is absent from the World Cup this year, and what he thinks about Thierry Henry.

I’m sure he’ll get plenty of face time during the USA-England match on Saturday, which begins at 2:30 p.m. on ESPN.
