R10's (?) 1st interview after arriving in Milan. He speaks on how happy he is to be there, etc... It sounds really practiced and he is careful not to offend anyone and thus he ends up not saying much at all.
It's a 2 page interview that can be summarized in one sentence:
He's really happy to be at AC Milan and he hasn't made any major decisions yet.

Check out the dude running at the end... That's courage.

There's been alot of talk recently about cub loyalty and how a player should be loyal to it. (Cristiano Ronaldo transfer saga comes to mind) But what about the opposite side...how loyal should a club be to a player? Keane speaks on it...
"Keane, who left Manchester United after being seemingly forced out after giving an interview to MUTV (in which he crushed a few of his teammates and might have gone after Sir Alex’s number 2, Carlos Queiroz) back in 2005, said: “When a club is finished with you, they get rid. My advice is look after yourself. If you get a chance for bigger and better things, then go for it. I’ve experienced that myself. People question players’ loyalty. I question clubs’ loyalty. It’s a business to them.”

He went on to say, “If you’re not needed then you can be out of the door in ten minutes, and I’m speaking from experience. Clubs buy and sell players. Clubs sell players sometimes like a piece of meat.”

Ronaldinho was presented by AC Milan in front of 40 thousand people today.
They sold over 5 thousand season tickets in one day... Insane! The man hasn't even played a game and is already doing his job. As you can tell by the pictures, the smile is back and that means his game will be back as well.
And talking about on the pitch, Ancelotti has confessed playing a christmas tree formation with Ronnie and Kaka playing right behind the striker, most likely Pato with Inzaghi coming in when the going gets tough.
It seems that he'll be wearing the number 11 left by Gilardino as Milan doesn't make their players give up their numbers while active. Wonder what will happen to his 10R line.

More pix after the jump including the presentation video at the end...







This is the presentation video.. Such a Berlusconi thing with all the fireworks and what not... Gotta love it though.

The deal was sealed at € 21 million plus a possible € 4 in case AC Milan makes it to the Champions League with his help. Now Ronnie's participation in the Olympics is questioned since Kaka wasn't released by the club. But it's possible that he has asked to take part in the Games as part of his contract.
Wonder what number he'll be wearing... Seedorf is 10.. His brand is 10R... Someone will have to make a sacrifice and Ronnie already accepted not getting his %15 signing bonus.

Other transfer talks:
Chelsea offered € 60 million for Robinho which was denied by Real Madrid who want € 150 million for him.

Blanco throws a punch, camera moves, he's on his back when the camera comes back.
Wonder what went down exactly.

By Audi Design.

"The styling is entirely new for a soccer table: its futuristic, progressive appearance affords a glimpse into future trends in design. When you’re playing a game on the Audi Design soccer table, its dynamic character conjures up the atmosphere of a modern, architecturally appealing soccer stadium”

Only one is made so far, they;re still deciding if it will go into production.

I like this kid. 18 years old and already in the starting 11 at AC Milan?!
Sounds top level to me.
I've heard that he's the next thing in Nike. From Ronaldo, to Ronaldinho, to Cristiano and now to Pato..

Props to theoriginalwinger for the find.

Man, I've always wanted to play this. I thought about it in high school when I was skipping class to play frizbee golf... Why not do it with a ball? Anyway, I'm still planning on doing it..


By the way... It's Kaka and Aimo Diana who just went to Torino from Palermo.

One of Belarus' top refs,Sergej Shmlik, might get a life's suspension from the game after having to be escorted off the field for being drunk right before the second half of the match between Naftan and Vitebsk. After the FA had reported taking action, he said he was having back pains... Riiiiight...



LOL!!! Homeboy was clearly drunk... What an idiot! And somehow, I can't help but think I'd rather have him officiating matches drunk than the refs I see in the men's league here in SLC...
Anyway, kids.. stay away from alcohol.. I've never seen it help anyone... Well, besides ugly people. And if you happen to be ugly, I'm sorry.. I didn't mean to offend anybody. But stay off the road though.

Aight.. I love Kung Fu movies and this one, Kung Fu Genius, is a classic!!! Not because of the story line but the styles... They can be hella cool or straight up hilarious like this scene.


Gotta love the sound effects... And his face kills me every time. If you haven't seen this, go pick it up. Kung Fu movies aren't the usual choice for the ladies, but there's just something about eatin' Chinese food and watching good ol' Kung Fu movies when there's time man...
So recommended:
Movie: Kung Fu Genius
Chinese spot: Dragon Diner on 1331 E 3900 S, Salt Lake City (Sorry if you don't live locally, but everyone can find Chinese anywhere these days, so I'm sure you'll be good.)

Actually funny..
He's getting better and better at acting... When's the movie?

Also according to "Telegraph", the underwear sales in Britain went up. At the Selfridges store in London they've seen a jump of 150% and the ones selling the most? Yep.. Armani tighties just like the ads DBecks appears in.. And no, I'm not posting pictures.
