Does Fox Soccer Channel have a time machine where they're able to go into the future to find out the results of games, and then report back to present day to reveal the scores? Maybe not, but currently running on Fox Soccer Channel and Fox Soccer Plus is an advertisement promoting Fox Soccer's new mobile app where they show USA losing to England.

The new hunky dory ads that have appeared on numerous billboards and TV adverts, have caused controversy, leading to a complaint been made by the Rape Crisis Network.

Good thing was that the flood that devastated the island shopping belt did no damage to the *SCAPE , the venue of the Nike Cup Singapore Tournament (pictured above).
Under the blazing sun, 120 teams from the "Central Zone" of Singapore comprised of sides of both "Junior" (between the age of 14 to 16) and "Senior" (17 to 19) categories were vie for a spot to among the top 50 teams (25 each from each category) to represent this zone to complete in the Grand Final after the tournament completed its "around-the-island" tour.

You know it's a World Cup year when every advertisement you see features some footballer. Case and point, here is the newest ad campaigns from Hugo Boss. As you can see, Spain's Cesc Fabregas, Xabi Alonso, and David Villa are the faces for German fashion house. I think Hugo Boss is looking to gain more Spanish clientiel.

Putting Francesco Totti and his beautiful wife Ilary Blasi in your advertisement is automatic success. I mean, what other player would willing agree to make themselves look dumb enough to try and read a computer like a book or attempt to toast bread with it?

Then watch the full version of Nike's current World Cup advertisement. Because it's awesome. And because it has cameos from Landon Donovan and Tim Howard. And... Kobe Bryant!

If you thought Nike's 'Write the Future' ad was the best, then this Nando's ad is the shit! They have broken all barriers of good advertisement. Who could've thought putting chicken and boobs in an ad for a football World Cup is the right way to go. It makes no sense but it works a magic!

Not fair that we weren't notified for the airport security guard casting call. Additionally, we cry foul at the lack of bottom half camera close-ups as the print advertisement previously promised.

A World Cup Curse? Nike ‘Write the Future' horribly wrong.

The Netherlands, the only team sponsored by Nike still in the World Cup, is not included in Nike's incredibly over-the-top World Cup advertisement. Uruguay is sponsored by Puma, while Germany and Spain are sponsored by Adidas.

And they say that the NFL is the No Fun League.

FIFA announced yesterday that they will not name an All Star team this World Cup and the organization didn't even explain or list any reason why this decision was made.

Some reports are claiming that the lack of honoring a world's best team was due to the All Star team's old sponsor MasterCard no longer being an advertisement option with the World Cup and the company has been recently replaced by Visa in 2007, but to tell you the truth nobody really knows why they wouldn't have one considering the fact that they told nobody a reason why the choice was made.

For the first time that I can remember, MLS sent out a purely commercial e-mail today in the form of a VW advertisement. The e-mail was presumably sent to all who have registered their e-mail with MLS. The e-mail made no reference to soccer (other than the sender address and an official partner note) and simply included a number of lease deals for the longtime MLS automobile partner.

Nicolas Anelka takes part in Puma viral video. The advertisement was made in 2008 in conjunction with the 2008 Euro.

Coca-Cola has launched its commercial for the 2010 World Cup which features Cameroon star Roger Milla.

Don't play to be remembered Nike's mock-Mount Rushmore advertisement seems to have struck again with Rio Ferdinand ruled out of the World Cup. If you thought Emile Heskey wasn't going to have much of an impact at the tournament, you were wrong. He has already made a big impact on his captain's knee which has left [.

British commerical station Independent Television (ITV) is once again embarrassed after its coverage of a football match was rudely interrupted by a mis-timed advertisement break. For anybody who missed it, ITV's coverage of the FA Cup 4th round tie in 2008/09 between Everton and Liverpool was strangely interrupted by some advertisements with three minutes of extra-time still to play.

Our ongoing series about the best Arsenal youth players continues today with a look at Chukwuemeka Aneke.

The young midfielder turned 17 on Saturday and just became eligible for a professional contract with the club, and it would be absolutely stunning if he wasn't offered professional terms with the club.

We realise the unimportant things, like the ability Germany have without Michael Ballack, like the fact that we'll have a new World Cup winner this summer, like the fact that we're all now going to have vuvuzelas line our attics, and like the fact that once and for all, we now know that the England national team are made up of a rubbish bunch of overpaid princesses.

From a marketing standpoint, what's the best way to lose a huge number of potential customers? Well, Banc de Sabadell figured that one out just about perfectly. The bank put an advertisement of Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola right outside of Real Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu. Sin verguenza?

Warning video is graphic!

This is the latest advertisement for the release of the new Adidas created Spain jersey. Now that Spain are World Champions, they have a lot to live upto on the international stage. With that, they need a jersey that matches their ambitions.

If the story put up by Sport.es is to be believed, FC Barcelona would be sporting a commerial advertisement on the very much reverred Blaugrana jersey in the near future. Considering the coziness between Sport.es daily and Sandro Rosell administration, this has to be seen as a definite indication to the public about the inevitable.

Arsenal's own rare breed

It's Thursday today and still there are another 4 more days to go before Arsenal plays. Time seem to pass slower when there are no matches to be played. Stories are few and far between, at a time when players prefers to spend their time after training with their families in preparation for the upcoming festive season.
