Lionel Messi : Decoded

So, for all you people who are slowly recovering from the fact that Messi missed a penalty and those Madridistas who are having a fiesta right now with all your pipas, adidas has released a new advert telling the secret to Leo Messi's success. Or is it?

Is it also a cheeky slap in the face at Nike after their "Write The Future" ad took the football world by storm and in the process, cursing the poor players (and Roger Federer) who all appeared as the main story line of the story i.e Rooney, Ronaldo, etc. ??

Or more directed at CR7 as well?

Someone on youtube pointed out this. "CR7 at 0:44 and 1:00" . Watch it. And Feel it.

Walcott, Drobga and Fabregas Meet Carl Lewis

Nike sponsored players Theo Walcott, Didier Drogba and Cesc Fabregas were at London's Niketown to meet sprinting legend Carl Lewis. Carl Lewis is Drogba's sporting hero.

Does The Drog's smile look genuine?? He looks like he has been offended and he is putting on a fake smile.

Walcott and Fabregas just want to show their very nice teeth.

Cris7's New Nike Boots

Cristiano Ronaldo's specially customized boots called the CR Mercurial Vapor SuperFly II is supposed to make a statement on the pitch and express Ronnie's style.

Personally, I am not even sure that I like it. Its so wild.

CR7 arrives at the unveilling. Is it me or his hair do is very similiar to Marouane Chamakh?

COOL!

Ronnie explaining about his new boots. "They give me everything to elevate my game". With the form he is now, why must he need those boots?

Nike's new video on the very top secret journey of CR7's boots from Nike's HQ in Portland to Madrid.

United Fans Vandalize Nike Banner At Manchester Nike Store

Wayne Rooney gets a wake up call from fans saying that if he'd join City - a very likely possibility if he wants to do a Tevez and get extra cash- he will be dead. The words are being taken more literally than figuratively and should be if Rooney does change his allegiance to the blue half of Manchester.

Mark my words. If he does go to Citeh, he will never be safe for his entire life. Make sure you're kid is home schooled. Kids are mean these days.

Having said that, I don't think this is a threat. Maybe its just a statement of fact. Whatever the meaning of the context, one should not resort to murder.

Special Boots for a Special Night

Robbie Keane will be wearing specialized boots for the game against Argentina which will be his 100th cap for Ireland. NikeID made some custom T90 Laser III for this special occasion.

Nike World Cup Curse

Plant Your Flag

I already actually posted the first video in a previous post but NiKE released a new version...so I embed both....

This is a different one...

The Netherlands are the first to qualify for last 16

The Dutch are the only side to win 2 games in a row after defeating Denmark 2-0 last week and Japan 1-0 yesterday.

The man of the match: Wesley Sneijder (who is very uncomfortable with Dutch coach Bert van Marwyk)

Starting XI

No short tents for us....

World Cup is no lacking of shirtless footballers after the final whistle. Just ask Dirk Kuyt

Injured Arjen Robben was on the bench for both games.

Lets celebrate Dutch pride by watching a new NiKE ad!

New Nike Ad ft. Rooney, Drogba, Ronaldo

United's leaked kits for 2010/2011

Home Kit

Away Kit

As a United fan, I am terribly dissapointed with this kit. This season's kit is way better. The new kit looks so shitty. I beg NiKE to PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE THE KIT!!!! PLEASE!!

Arsenal 5-0 FC Porto (Agg: 6-2)

FC Porto's manager did have reasons to look like that..

Nicklas Bendtner scored a hat trick with French internationals Samir Nasri and Emmanuel Eboue helping Arsenal to seal the deal. Nicklas Bendtner was hoping to score some goals after he missed a million chances in a EPL match against Burnley recently . How was it to score FINALLY, Nicklas?

Here's your answer!!! Wait, where are his pink boots? Maybe thats why he scored a hat trick...

Cristiano Ronaldo's statue was unveiled at Madrid for some NiKE's promotional event. I can't take it anymore. How many times does this dude need to be "honoured"??

But for a dude that posed in his underwear for Armani, he poses quit badly.
