The new away Liverpool football kit has been launched under a new advertising campaign from
Adidas entitled "Every Team Needs The 12th Man.

loads of cash regardless, but it doesn't hurt that it looks good.

Arjen Robben is the 'Mannequin' in the latest Adidas Real Madrid CF Viral. Robben is in a
stationary pose and showing off the latest Real Madrid Kit. I suppose the 12th Man is alluding to
the guy 'molesting the mannequin'.
In the dearth of English Premier League football news, I caught sight of the Adidas 12th Man
contest. A contest on Facebook for football fans to post a supporter's profile picture on their FB
page and encouraging many other friends/fans to do the same. The most supporter friends will win
the contest.

email campaigns, a Facebook group and Twitter pages all being used to publicise and create a
momentum within the whole island for the upcoming World cup play-off game with France on November
14th.
If the Hammers think that coming back to draw with Arsenal represent the proverbial "turn the
corner" then the good work must be continued with another fine display against Sunderland. Playing

We've all heard about the effect the 12th man has on the field, but this is ridiculous:
The man is a living saint and an inspiration to the world.
Go Bafana Bafana!Can they give Brazil a game?
Surprises happen.
Since the outlaw of standing areas English stadia have undergone huge changes. From the
crumbling relics of the 1980s the Premier League now boasts some of the finest stadiums in the
world.
The names Old Trafford, Anfield and Stamford Bridge all roll off the tongue but within these
fine stadiums there is that one stand that best captures the fervour with which English fans follow
their teams.

Liverpool v Lyon
Tuesday 20 October 2009
Anfield, Liverpool
UEFA Champions League
Kick-off: 19:45 UK (20:45 CET)
Liverpool go into this Champions League game on the back of three consecutive defeats and are
looking rattled. Lyon too suffered their first defeat of the season but seem to be in better shape
mentally than their more illustrious Champions League opponents.
Denial
Although Real Madrid needed five goals to overturn their Round of 32 tie with Alcorcón, a
certain sense of denial was important in this particular situation so that they could believe that
their task was not impossible. Kaká stated, "For the pride and for the history of Real Madrid,
we have to win this tie.
As part of adidas' 12th man campaign, they've made some viral videos, and as you can see above,
one focuses on the apparently free-kick-challenged Xabi Alonso. After some Scouse-laden advice,

Beckham rumoured to be on his way out of LA and rumours of John Terrry's transfer to Manchester
City still not going away.
Mexico is without a shadow of a doubt the Yanks' most hated soccer rival in the world. El Tri

City in the region's most anticipated World Cup Qualifier.

"Seeing these smiling faces is the greatest pleasure. They have been magnificent all season.
They have been our 12th man. I have always said our fans are the best in England. Now I know they
