According to the Barcelona website Miami will be graced with a wonderful soccer game that will
involve Barcelona of Spain versus A.C. Milan! Game is said to be scheduled for August 3, 2011.
Two of the best teams in the world in our backyard!
A.C. Milan's current roster includes
Italians Massimo Ambrosini,Gennaro Iván Gattuso, Andrea Pirlo, Alessandro Nesta, Filippo Inzaghi,
German Kevin-Prince Boateng, Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, American Oguchi Onyewu Brazilians
Alexandre Pato, Robinho, Ronaldinho, Dutch star Clarence Seedorf and Colombian Mario Yepes just to
name a few.
After Don Balon released its FM cheat sheet, Futebol Finance snuck into FM headquarters, stole a
copy of the full release and simulated 10 transfers with each and every player, in the process
concocting their real value (that's true value, not how much Florentino Perez would pay to sell
their shirts).
What happens when a 19 year old superstar footballer weds a 22 year old TV actress and makes her
move to Italy? Divorce in 9 months. Thank the Football Gods, without any babies.
The issue is, since his injury he has been doing a lot of partying along team buddy Ronaldinho.
He's also been depressed since his chances of going to South Africa are minimal right now.

After a light training session ahead of Wednesday's friendly with D.C. United, Clarence Seedorf
was among the few AC Milan players that met with the media before departing RFK Stadium for the
day.
Brazilian snubs Ronaldinho and Alexandre Pato were not made available to the media, which was
instructed to not bring up the World Cup if speaking to the Selecao stars.

Ronaldinho & Co. have invaded the nation's capital, as AC Milan kicks off its North American
tour by playing D.C. United in a mid-week friendly (8 p.m., live video stream here).
The Serie A power is without some of its top stars but still boasts a squad featuring the former
FIFA World Player of the Year.
The United States walked off the field in the Meadowlands with disappointment written on their
faces. The national team did not show well against a young and relatively inexperienced Brazilian
team. Although the game didn't mean much in the scheme of things, the US missed an opportunity to
gain a some respect in the soccer world.

D.C. United is still searching for its first win of the Major League Soccer season, but it did
manage to score an impressive victory on Monday with the news that the club will face AC Milan in a
friendly next month.
D.C. will take on the Italian power on May 26 at RFK Stadium in a match that should feature AC
Milan's non-World Cup participants.
Brazil will take on Argentina in Doha, Qatar next month. For his fourth game in charge, Mano
Menezes has called up 23 players. AC Milan's in-form Ronaldinho Gaúcho has been given a recall.

Today AC Milan announced its newest footballer: Brazilian forward star Robinho. AC Milan's big
boss, Silvio Berlusconi, was not shy to give away that Milan signed the player for €18 million

investment, Mansour bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan!

Brazil take on Ukraine on Monday in Mano Menezes' third game in charge of his country. So far so
good for the new coach who has picked up wins against the USA and Iran. But the match against
Ukraine could be the South American's stiffest test under the new regime.
Dunga and Jorginho
Dunga has called up 22 players to face the Republic in Arsenal's Emirates Stadium on 2nd
March.
AC Milan's Ronaldinho Gaúcho has been left out once again and is now unlikely to be called up
for the World Cup. Ronaldinho's last appearance for his country was in April last year against
Peru.
Five years ago I think I would have cried at the final whistle on Wednesday. Beating Milan at
the San Siro was incredible enough but to go on to beat them 4-0 at Old Trafford was out of this
world. The fact that I was just really happy though, sharing in the happiness of David
Beckham wearing the scarf and Real Madrid getting knocked out of Europe brought us, was a reminder
of how fortunate we've been over the past few years.
What a fantastic crowd at the New Meadowlands Stadium as over 77,000 came to see the US National
Team take on a young and hungry side as Brazil is looking to get back to the flair and fun from
many sides that have worn those lemon shirts in the past. Tonight we see the start of the Mano
Menezes era and I have to say that Brazil is back in business.
Ladies and gentlemen, meet the new Brazil. After the more pragmatic and less exciting Dunga
years (an approach which won the Copa Libertadores and Confederations Cup, but failed at World Cup
2010) new coach Mano Menezes seems to have his team playing the way we all rightly or wrongly
expect Brazil to play.

Brazil's Philippe Coutinho and Giuliano
Later today, Brazil take on Iran in an international friendly in Abu Dhabi. Mano Menezes got off
to a flier in his first game in charge against the USA and the coach is hoping for more of the same
against a side ranked 57th in the world.

The United Nations claims that FIFA has ignored its responsibility to ensure housing rights for
citizens of countries involved in the World Cup bidding process after uncovering some startling
facts from South Africa in the build up to this summer's World Cup.
Liverpool striker Fernando Torres could be sold to AC Milan this summer - if current Rossaneri
favourite Alexandre Pato is sold to Real Madrid or Chelsea according to reports in Italy.
Torres has been linked with a move away from the Reds after just two seasons - mainly because the
Anfield club now looks certain to miss out on qualification for next season's Champions League.
Old Trafford boss is looking to use Berbatov as a make weight in deal to seal AC Milan man.

Manchester United are hoping to complete a Serie A swap this summer as they look to bring in AC
Milan's misfiring Dutchman Klaas Jan Huntelaar in part exchange for Dimitar Berbatov.
The dust has settled on the day after the 32 World Cup teams named their provisional 30-man
rosters and there were plenty of surprises all over the world.
Charlie Davies missing out was easily the most shocking news for American fans, but the list of
players left out by other countries reads like a who's who of the world game.
Todos lo sabíamos Dunga el tecnico carioca mas criticado de los ultimos tiempos no le hizo caso
ni a Pele ni a Zico, ni a millones de aficionados de llevar al supuesto mejor jugador brasileño de
la decada Ronaldinho Gaucho.
Los jugadores que mas llaman la atención por quedar afuera de esta polemica convocatoria son:
Alexandre Pato del Milan (a quien paradójicamente lo hicieron presentar la
camiseta carioca del Mundial), Adriano (y su buen momento en Flamengo, aunque su
nunca aclarado incidente con su novia y narcos de las favelas le ha jugado en contra),
Ronaldinho con sus ganas de estar , desde su salida del Barca nunca llego a ser el
mismo en el Milan.
Due to injury, AC Milan's roster for Friday's exhibition match against Panathianiks in Pontiac,
Michigan's Silverdome will be short Ronaldinho, Filippo Inzaghi, Andrea Pirlo, and Massimo
Ambrosini.
Fan favorite Ronaldinho will disappoint thousands this weekend due to a strained left hamstring
which he sustained last week.
Mano Menezes says sack me if you can after dropping Neymar
Brazil coach Mano Menezes has named 23 players for two friendlies to be held between 6th to 13th
October. The opposition has yet to be announced but the matches will be played in Europe.
The main talking point is the exclusion of Santos forward, Neymar.
Five years ago Ronaldinho was considered the greatest footballer in the world by many critics.
And this month the Brazilian midfielder is expected to finally make his long awaited return to the
Brazilian national team. Newly appointed head coach Mano Menezes recently stressed that the AC
Milan man "can add value in a sector where we must still evolve.

According to Milannews.it, Huntelaar is Premier League bound. There is rampant speculation

Alexandre Pato of Brazil
SINGAPORE (February 26, 2010) – Many of the world's leading players, including Cristiano Ronaldo,
Robinho and Ji-Sung Park will take to the pitch in South Africa this summer wearing the most
environmentally-friendly and technologically-advanced kit in football's history.
Robinho on target
Goals in each half gave Brazil a 2-0 win over the Republic of Ireland in the Emirates stadium. A
Keith Andrews own-goal just before the end of the first period put the Brazilians ahead. But there
was nothing fluky about the second. A very well-worked move involving Kaká, Grafite and Robinho
ended in the latter sweeping the ball home.
Undoubtedly, the most important match in Serie A this weekend takes place at the Olimpico in Rome.
Third place AS Roma host second place AC Milan. Roma are three points behind Milan, who are in
turn...

Some of football's biggest stars are in fitness battles to be ready for their team's second leg
clashes.
Alexandre Pato was injured last weekend in Milan's 3-1 win against Atalanta. He scored two goals
but had to be stretchered off with a hamstring strain. He didn't play in Milan's 0-0 draw with Roma
today and will be a last minute decision before Wednesday's match.

Becks isn't making up the difference...I don't think.
Alexandre Pato is out with a hamstring strain and MAY NOT be able to play against United in the
second leg of their Champion's League Round of 16 matchup. This is a problem for AC Milan because
they need Pato for the Champion's League and the rest of their club season.
Alexandre Pato (2 Sept 1989) plays winger for the Brazilian national team and AC Milan. His
nickname "Pato" originated from his birth place and led to soccer commentators calling him "The
Duck." Pato's actual name is Alexandre Rodrigues da Silva.
Pato is explosive, quick, and just 20 year-old.
Rumour in the UK has surfaced that Chelsea are looking at AC Milan's roster and favouring to invest
in two brazilians at once: forward Alexandre Pato and defender Thiago Silva. Both have
international experience and are considered integral part of Brazil's next footballing generation.
The amount involved may be something in the order of £70 million.
There was no place for Ronaldinho or Adriano in Brazil coach Dunga's 23-man squad for the World
Cup, which was announced on Tuesday.
I know you all probably saw this coming considering the last couple of season that both of these
players have had. Mentally we have seen both of them literally take a vacation from the game.
Inglaterra: Wayne Bridge, David Beckham, Michael Owen, Paul Scholes.
Italia:
Alessandro Del Piero, Francesco Totti.
Bulgaria: Dimitar Berbatov.
Rusia: Andrei
Arshavin.
Brasil: Adriano, Alexandre Pato, Ronaldinho.
Argentina: Javier Zanetti,
Esteban Cambiasso.
