The King and His Court


A bunch of U.S. players were in the lobby today as the Brazilian Men's Olympic Team left for its match, which of course meant a lobby walk from Ronaldinho himself, carrying a drum and flanked by his teammates, and security. And you thought the U.S. women's players were getting asked to pose for a lot of pictures? During the match at Shenyang Olympic Stadium, after several magical pieces of ball work by AC Milan's newest signing, young Tobin Heath remarked, "It would be a privilege to be nutmegged by that guy." We're not sure if the Kiwis felt that same way, but several had no choice in the matter.
