Anderson Silva dominates Yushin Okami in the Rio de Janeiro Match up.

Silva drops Okami to the mat in the 2nd round with a straight right, Okami gets up and lands a good left but it doesn’t faze Silva.

Silva returns the favor with a big left of his own that drops Okami once more, then he moves in for the kill with body shots, knees to the midsection and hammer fists.

Ronaldinho signs with Flamengo

Ronaldinho – or Ronaldinho Gaucho – one of the top soccer players in the world and member of the Brazil National team that won the 2002 World Cup – Has signed with Rio de Janeiro’s Flamengo futebol club for a three-and-a-half year contract worth nearly $900,000 a month.

Ronaldinho, whose real name is Ronaldo de Assis Moreira, started his professional career with the team Gremio at age18 before moving to Paris Saint-Germain, FC Barcelona – with whom he won the 2006 Champions League – and then AC Milan.

Twice named world player of the year, Ronaldinho made it known that he wanted to return to Brazil with hopes of playing for a local team  and regaining his spot on the Brazilian National team for the 2014 World Cup in Rio de Janeiro.

Flamengo was able to sign Ronaldinho after Brazilian clubs Gremio and Palmeiras dropped out of the race to acquire him over the weekend.

Mano Menezes New Brazilian National Team Coach

Menezes immediately began the rebuilding of the New Brazilian National team with players that average only 23 years old. Most will be unknown to those accustomed to hearing Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Kaka, Julio Cesar and others. The most famous player that will continue is Robinho, world ranked #1 goalie Julio Cesar did not make the cut, nor did Kaka or Ronaldinho who’s best days are probably behind them. A couple of new players and favorites of Brazilian fans who wished they had been on this year’s World Cup team are Neymar da Silva Santos, and Paulo Ganso who are expected to do big things on the national team.

The new Brazil National Team will take on the United States in their first match on August 10, 2010, so if you’re in New Jersey, check it out and send us some footage.

Brazil 2014 World Cup Logo

My opinion, I think they could have made a better choice. I’ve seen some very creative designs online myself and Brazilians are very creative, artistic people and I don’t think this really represents it that well..

Luis Fabiano scores 2 goals against Ivory Coast

This Friday June 25, 2010 Brazil takes on Portugal in one of the most anticipated rivalry matches of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. Brazil, formally a Portuguese colony is the leader in the division which includes North Korea and Ivory Coast. Brazil leads the division with 6 points and Portugal in second place with 4, followed by Ivory Coast with 1 point and N.Korea with O points.

The top two teams of each of the 8 Divisions continue to the next round of 6 Divisions, then down to 4 Divisions and then the the World Cup Final.
Safe to say that Brazil and Portugal regardless of the outcome of this Friday’s match will continue on to the next elimination round.

Kaka, Brazil’s star striker who was ejected from the game against Ivory Coast, promises to return strong and with a positive attitude.
Brazil will have it’s hands full with a strong team from Portugal and against the “other Ronaldo” – Cristiano Ronaldo who plays for Portugal.

Brazilian player Elano, who scored and goal and later left the game against Ivory Coast with a leg injury, assures that he is ok and ready to come back against Portugal
