Pepsi is not an official sponsor of the 2022 FIFA World Cup — that position belongs to eternal rival Coca-Cola. But a smart way to save money while cashing in on the global phenomenon is by associating with the event in more creative ways — like by getting Lionel Messi, Paul Pogba, Ronaldinho, Fabrizio Romano, RECEBA!!! and Kaljit Atwal to sell your products in a place that vaguely looks like Qatar but isn't.
We all got used to seeing Ronaldinho Gaúcho vaporizing opponents while casting spells with his magical legs. However, there is not a lot of footage of the Brazilian having a taste of his own medicine.
That's why a rare video from freestyler and TikToker Ferjani Safi is getting viral at the speed of light. And well, the fact that O Bruxo wasn't happy about it is also helping.
La bombástica llegada de Dani Alves a Pumas automáticamente hace recordar a otros jugadores brasileños que pasaron por la Liga MX.
Por supuesto, la lista es larga e incluye a varios jugadores que quizás no llegaron con muchas luces, pero que terminaron convirtiéndose en leyendas del fútbol mexicano. El caso más emblemático es Cabinho, a menudo señalado como el mejor extranjero en la historia del balompié azteca. Tampoco se puede obviar el aporte de futbolistas como Antonio Carlos Santos, Zague y el Tuca Ferreti, entre otros.
While most soccer leagues around the world eschew the idea of an all-star game, celebrity, legends and testimonial matches are one of the coolest aspects of the world’s game. I’m not sure we’ve ever seen a lineup as star-studded as the Roberto Carlos and Ronaldinho Miami friendly on Saturday.
FIFA has launched a new streaming video service, FIFA+, which will provide free live games from competitions around the world plus 'Netflix style' documentaries.
The new platform, which is advertiser funded, also includes an archive of every World Cup and Women's World Cup match ever recorded on camera.

I don't know what Ronaldinho's appearance fee is, but it was met by the World Soccer Hall of Fame in Pachuca, Mexico, on Tuesday night as the legendary Brazilian showed up and provided a short induction speech. No, I had no idea there was a World Soccer Hall of Fame in Pachuca either.
The fellow inductees of Ronaldinho's class were Italian defender Fabio Cannavaro, Spanish striker Raúl, Brazilian defender Roberto Carlos and Swedish coach Pia Sundhage. They weren't at the ceremony, but Ronaldinho was genuinely touched by the honor and fought back tears during his speech.
El efecto de Lionel Messi en la historia del Barcelona es y será imborrable. El club era grande antes de su aparición en La Masia, pero en sus 17 años junto al plantel de honor se convirtió en un coloso. A modo de ejemplo, varios en internet muestran el palmarés de los catalanes antes y después de la era Messi:
Brutal. Pero no es todo.
On Tuesday night at Tel Aviv’s Bloomfield Stadium, Real Madrid and Barcelona Legends — at various stages of clearly enjoying their retirement — squared off in an El Clásico that featured players like Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, Deco, Roberto Carlos and Luís Figo.
The 41-year-old Ronaldinho was the star of the show as he’s continued the impressive form he showed while in a Paraguayan prison.
Ronaldinho volvió a vestir la camiseta del Barcelona este martes y mostró algunos destellos de su gran y recordada magia, en un partido amistoso de leyendas contra su gran rival, el Real Madrid.
