Sounders FC runs into Brazilian legend Ronaldinho while on the road in Dallas

Ronaldinho 0328

You never know who you'll see while on the road in Frisco.


Case in point for the Sounders FC this week. While at its team hotel in Texas, the club was joined by Liga MX side Queretaro FC, which has a friendly against Puebla FC at Toyota Stadium on Sunday. Los Gallos Blancos, as they're known, happen to boast one of the biggest soccer stars the game has ever known: Ronaldinho.


The Seleção legend has played for some of the world's biggest clubs including Paris Saint-Germain, FC Barcelona and AC Milan. He's been featured for the Brazilian National Team 97 times, scoring 33 goals. The 2002 FIFA World Cup winner was also named the 2004 and 2005 FIFA World Player of the Year. So yeah, he's kind of a big deal.


And now he's hanging out with the Sounders.



Queretaro also happens to be the former club of current Sounder Gonzalo Pineda who spent the 2012-13 season with the Gallos.
