Guess Who’s Coming

rb_reader Previously, I’ve mentioned how the New York Red Bulls will be hosting Santos FC of São Paulo on March 20th for their Grand Opening of the new stadium.

What most people who don’t follow European soccer (English Premier League, in particular) hadn’t realized is the added bonus which Santos will be bringing with them to Red Bull Arena.

Recently, a rather overpriced and overhyped signing from the other Manchester team (ie. Manchester City) secured a loan deal to return to his hometown team in São Paulo.  So, as a result, Pelé’s former team now also became the current home of homecoming hero (and former Man City and Real Madrid player), Robinho.  Those of us who follow soccer closely realize that this homecoming deal is as important to the Brazilian community as Christiano Ronaldo returning to Sporting Lisbon would be to the Portuguese community. Bring on the Samba dancers! See you at the stadium.
