Remember the time when Pelé and other Brazilian players were able to stop wars? Now it's time for Ronaldo and cia. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/3852095.stm Some Haitians are already going nuts over the possibibilty: http://arquivoglobo.globo.com/pesquisa/texto_gratis.asp?codigo=1741149 Some translations: — If I have a chance to see Ronaldo, it will be the best day of my life — said Lafortune, who lives in a local favela in the disctrict of Cité Soleil, where violence is a way of life. — (Haiti) is my country, but forgive me. I'll root for Brazil — said Lafortune. — It will be my only chance to see Ronaldo. I would exchange my M-14 por a ticket — said a man who identified himself as Don Tutu. When the seleção plays, many Haitians skip woork or go home earlier. The schools also release the students early. — When I watch Brazil play, it's like a drug. My hunger and my problems go away, forgotten at least for a while — said Jacques Milien, who lives in a favela called Bel-Air.
If this is really going to happen, its simply GREAT! Many other actions like this could be taken in the world to get people together again.
