The Curse of the Nike Commercial


Although the Nike "Write The Future" commercial is great it seems to me a curse. Almost everyone involved in it has had a bad World Cup and is already out (Rooney, Cannavaro, Ribery, Drogba, Ronaldo etc.). Here are some interesting statistics that show not only is it the players but the adidas F50 is dominating total number of goals scored as well. So I guess the moral of the story is if you are a footballer get adidas to sponsor you...


BY BOOTS
adidas F50 Adizero – 33
Nike Mercurial Superfly – 14
Nike Total 90 – 13
adidas Predator X – 12
Nike Maestri CTR360 – 11
Puma Puma – 8
adidas adiPure – 7
Nike Nike other – 7
Nike Tiempo – 4
adidas other – 1
Other – 11

BY BRAND
adidas – 53
Nike – 49
Puma – 8
Other – 11

Rafa and Liverpool part ways


The two have finally called time on their relationship and it appears to have come to an end with about a 3 million pound settlement. Thanks Rafa for everything but it was definitely time for a change. Hope the next one in is either Hodgson or Pellegrini.

Aziz Ansari x Justin Bieber MTV Movie awards promo



I know this has nothing to do with soccer but...I love Aziz! Check out Parks and Rec on NBC if you haven't already and tune in to the MTV Movie awards to catch Aziz hosting the event.

PS this should be the only post to ever contain Bieber's name on this website. If it's not, feel free to give me a slap whenever you see me!
