school soccer fan.
Goal.com caught up with Snoop for a few minutes at a promotional event
on Monday night, and the hip-hop legend spit some soccer knowledge
when asked about his favorite soccer
player: Ronaldo.
"That's Ronaldo from Brazil from back in the day," he told Goal.com.
"When I first started watching soccer, going to Europe for the first
time, he was the one who was the most
dynamic to me. I loved the way he played. He played with a lot of
style, he was good and he had the different hairstyles. His hair was
pretty."
Snoop currently keeps tabs on the U.S. national team. He participated
in a charity flag football game with Hope Solo. earlier this year and
appreciates the Olympic gold medal-
winning goalkeeper's attitude.
"She's a rider," he said. "I played with her in a celebrity flag game
and she's tough. I know she's tough on that soccer field because she
was tough in that flag game, and we were playing
insane."
But while Snoop is a fan of soccer, it appears that his heart will
always be with American football. The "Gin and Juice" rapper has a
charity called the Snoop Youth Football League, which brings
inner-city youngsters onto the football field to help them
learn life values.
Snoop is currently promoting FIFA 2013, but he's never going to give
up on the Madden franchise. "I love Madden, I can't live without it,"
he said with a smile.
