who plays for Arsenal. Organizers said the match was going to include Ronaldo, Ryan Giggs, Thierry Henry, Nicolas Anelka, Didier Drogba, Emmanuel Adebayor, Bacary Sagna, Claude Makelele, Gael Clichy and Patrick Viera. “The current economic situation has brought down all of our hopes to organize what should have been one of the greatest soccer games in U.S. history,” the event’s Web site said this week.
