It’s unfortunate the only time Soccer finds coverage on this site is when someone has an embarrassing miss on an open net or a dude snaps his leg in gruesome fashion. Thanks to Oguchi Onyewu, we’ve got another reason to talk about the world’s most popular sport and another member of team USA to root for come this years’ World Cup.

From A.C. Milan’s website:

MILAN – USA international Oguchi Onyewu, who is coming off a season of rehabilitation following a long injury which has forced him to stay off the pitch for the whole season, but is now ready to face the World Cup with his national team, made a very significant gesture from a human and professional point of view today. Assisted by his lawyer, Jean Louis Dupont, Onyewu asked for, and received, a one-year contract extension from Milan, from 30 June 2012 to 30 June 2013. During this extra year, Oguchi Onyewu, by his choice, much appreciated by the Rossoneri club, has asked not to receive any kind of salary. This is an exemplary gesture which deserves sincere congratulations.

I hope karma is real for this guys sake, then again, that’d probably turn bad for our reader base… (FYH). None the less, it’s always fun rooting for your home colors in the biggest sporting event in the world and we can all be proud to be represented by a guy that likes to work for his money. Go USA and go Onyewu!
