It was all part of Nike’s Write History campaign, but I can’t help but feel partly responsible for the Ultra-violet purple and orange colourway of the new Nike Mercurial Vapor Superfly II. You see, some time ago, I put together the PTP edition of the Nike Mercurial Vapor IV’s in a plum colourway and ever [...]
The launch of these bad boys may still only be 3 days away, but that didn’t stop me spotting them a mile away. Actually, to be Totally honest, it was Torres’ silky gold locks that got me all hot and bothered at first (reminded me of an old flame!)… more than anything though, I was [...]
Cristiano Ronaldo was back to his menacing best last night against Marseille and much like a fly buzzing around your head while you tryAnd typ3 a p0st… oh, would you just F*** OFF!… he annoyed the shit out of the French defence and added two more to his ever growing sack’o’goals at Madrid. On another [...]
If you’re like me and thought Didier Drogba was wearing (RED) laces in honour of Arsenal in last night’s match… then you’d better think again fool! It’s time to stop wishing for a medical answer to Africa’s medical crisis. Because one already exists. And while it’s only part of a larger solution, it can help [...]
Until midway through the second half, I couldn’t understand how an attack of Ronaldinho, Seedorf, Pato and Inzaghi had only managed three shots at goal and none were on target! Then out of nothing and as unexpected as Iker Casillas’ goal keeping errors, Andear Pirlo snuck in a long range effort to put the Italians [...]
These bad boys may have a silly name, a mediocre design and a synthetic leather that mimics kangaroo leather, but if they can assist in 4 goals and even score a screamer on debut, then surely Nike have done something right again! Dammit, those guys are never wrong!… psst. Puma and Anelka take note, you [...]
So my prediction here was correct… and in case you’re wondering what I’m on about, yes Cristiano Ronaldo was revealed wearing the Black / Voltage Yellow Nike Mercurial Vapor Superfly’s. Ha! In more good news, apparently, a Nike executive recently confirmed that the company’s wish is to have all of their sponsored professionals playing in [...]
As I sit here watching the final of the Confederations Cup unfold like an action packed episode of Ripley’s Believe It Or Not, the U.S MNT sit 2-0 up against the might of Brazil… so once again, i am gob-smacked! Plus, given my earlier prediction of the match, don’t I feel like an ass at the moment!?
10min in and that man again, Clint ‘The Giant Killer’ Dempsey, wearing his all white Nike Superfly’s bagged the nights opening goal and his third of the tournament… I wonder if the US can keep this up!?
Judging by the highlights below, it seemed as though Spain were the only team on the attack, whilst their opposition hid in caves continuously tried to catch them on the counter. With laser-like precision (or not), España hit their opposition with wave after wave of attack, almost like they were dropping bombs in the Middle East, so it doesn’t really surprise me that Iraq were on the receiving end again… will that country ever get a break!?
Some real impressive rumours are being thrown around at the moment. Things like: Olive wreaths will be presented to the winners as opposed to medals, women playing harps will be seated in cages above areas of the grandstand and possibly my favourite of the bunch, tigers and Gladiators will be thrown onto the field if [...]
I’ve hastily been scouring the internet over the last week or so, for images of all the players that were wearing Nike’s latest creations, the Mercurial Vapor Superfly’s and surprisingly like a police investigation at Tony Soprano’s house, the more I dug, the more I seem to find!
Here’s what I’ve got so far, feel free to add to the list if I’ve missed some players and I’ll source images to include in future posts.
There were some big games last night… but the mammoth is tonight and I’m about to pee my pants at the thought of it… don’t laugh at me! Mum said I’d get over it when I was older! So here’s some recent pics of Ibra and C-Ron wearing the new Nike Mercurial Vapor Superfly’s in [...]
Cristiano Ronaldo spotted at training on the 6th March wearing the Mercurial Superfly’s. There’s no doubt he’ll be wearing them this week in the UEFA Champions League second leg against Inter… and they’ll most likely be the Orange/Abyss/Silver ones [as pictured above].
My sources also tell me that C-Ron might not be only one who is wearing them and that the likes of Ibrahimovic, Drogba, Alves, Bentdner and Ribery could be showing them off around Europe via the UCL second leg.
This week promises to be massive!
With less than a month to go before these puppies go on sale to the public, Nike are without doubt getting their final preparations ready for release. With the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Didier Drogba, Franck Ribery, and Dani Alves set to wear them in next week’s Uefa Champions League matches, it’s only common sense that the players get accustomed to their newest acquisitions. Pictured above is Drogba at training yesterday wearing an unmarked pair.
Yes that right chumps… the Droog and CRon were wearing unmarked versions of the Nike Mercurial Superfly’s in training earlier this year and Daniel Alavez even wore them in a match against Villareal, but I’ve been a little reluctant to write about them, mainly for the fact that now I truly believe Nike are taking [...]
