At Least There Hasn't Been A Kicking Related Death
Just when you thought it was safe to rome the streets of the world again, since Wayne Rooney has been surprisingly quiet, Robin Van Persie gets arrested.
Now his charge wasn't funny and neither is the fact that Pele's son (and former footcer star himself), Edson Cholbi Nascimento, was arrested for "criminal association with drug traffickers."
However, had this happened a few months ago, I could have joked that he was only trying to score diet pills for Diego Maradona. But he went and lost a lot of weight so that jest is ruined.
People sometimes complain the off-season for European footcer is too short. But I say keep these guys playing and training. I mean, it's not safe to leave your houses when footcer players are on the loose! :)

A pleasant reminder. The "baby Yanks" (who as far as I know haven't been convicted of any crimes while in Holland) take on Germany at the World Youth Championships - 1:30 p.m. United States central time today on Fox Soccer Channel.
