Brazil great Ronaldinho has landed in Ravenna, a city more famous for its nearby beaches than its soccer team. The lyrics "and the world's going to know your name" seemed ironically superfluous as one of soccer's most recognizable figures stepped on stage in front of thousands of fans on Thursday. That song, "Hall of Fame" by The Script, had been belted out throughout the presentation of third-tier Ravenna's team for the upcoming season before the team's new No. 10 walked out. Thursday was dubbed "Ronaldinho day" as the soccer legend was presented first to the press before a glitzy beachside ceremony in front of around 6,000 fans, waving flags and holding flares aloft - despite the intermittent rain. In a surprise announcement in June, the 46-year-old Ronaldinho signed with Italian third-division club Ravenna more than a decade after retiring. "I'm very happy to be here with my friends, but let's wait and see if things go well with the team," Ronaldinho said Thursday when asked ab

The United States is imposing 25% tariffs on imports from Brazil after finding a range of what it deemed unfair trade practices by the world's 10th-biggest economy. The tariffs, which were first proposed last month, will take effect July 22. The order exempts some goods that are not produced in the US or that officials worry would disrupt supply chains. Exempted products include coffee, beef, oranges and orange juice, some oil and gas energy products and aerospace parts and components. The Office of the US Trade Representative concluded after a yearlong investigation that Brazil had a range of unfair trade practices, including lax anti-corruption enforcement and unfair tariffs of its own, among other practices seen as unreasonable and unfair. The US, however, has had a goods trade surplus with Brazil for years. US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said in a statement that the action was necessary to ensure American workers and companies compete on a level playing field. "Exten
