It's no secret that Chad Ochocinco is a massive soccer fan. The Cincinnati Bengals' all-pro wide receiver played soccer in high school and has maintained his love for the sport until today. The charismatic Ochocinco is also friends with soccer superstars such as Ashley Cole and Thierry Henry.

The National Football League wideout recently was on Fox Soccer Channel's Soccer Talk Live to talk footie. Check it out after the jump.

Photo Of The Day


Found this over at Yahoo!'s Dirty Tackle blog. Here's the caption:

"Italian Serie B side Triestina are having trouble drawing fans. So to combat the costs of operating their 32,454-seat Stadio Nereo Rocco, they decided to shut down the entire Colaussi stand for the whole season. But instead of playing in front of a half-barren stadium with row after row of exposed seats mocking club, they've decided to try and hide their problem in perhaps the most conspicuous way possible."
