Ronaldo
The Washington Post reported today that Ronaldo is considering playing in the US -- not right away, mind you, but later on. Evidently, NY Red Bulls already offered him a contract, but he declined, citing current Real Madrid obligations. I just hope he doesn't wait too long. At 29, he doesn't have a lot of years left and he's been prone to injury. It would be nice to have him and David Beckham in the US at the same time and in condition to play solid soccer. My concern is that if he were to come over, the hype would be considerable and anything short of all-star performance would be seen as failure for both him and MLS.

here is the problem with that story. first off the offer was made to him, he never asked for it and its his agent thats states he might consider playing in the US later in his career. I dont think he would have even considered coming state side unless the offer had been made. While Ronaldo has been quoted as stating he never wants to play in Brazil again, I see him doing the same thing as Romario - playing at a low tier team for the hell of it.
