boots, featuring the likes of Lionel Messi and David Villa.
Nike is not an official World Cup sponsor but, thanks to some creative marketing, that doesn't stop
consumers across the globe from linking the company to the world's largest soccer tournament. The
Nielsen Company analyzed online blogs, message boards and social networking sites and found that
the sports shoe and apparel giant was more frequently linked to the World Cup than any of the
tournament's official partners and sponsors.
As revealed by The Spoiler, a gentleman's company youstrip.com is using the 2010

kitchen/bathroom.
Car brands Kia and Nissan have both run ads in national newspapers today (Monday), paying
tongue-in-cheek reference to England's World Cup defeat by Germany.
You'll notice that I dropped Adsense last week. In general, I was unhappy with the user experience,
and I don't consider what I was earning to really be in the ballpark of this site's potential.
Going forward, I'm going to experiment with a new ad scheme for the site:
1 ad per week will run on all the site's pages, in the style of The Deck - a non-animated image 120
pixels wide by 90 pixels tall, with 80 characters of text to go along with it, running somewhere
above the non-existant fold.
Many of you will probably not like what I'm going to say, but I think we as soccer fans, myself
included, are very hard to please. We want HD. We don't want a sports ticker across the bottom. We
want a clean presentation on screen with very few bugs, just the beautiful game. We want the best
football commentators.
Kenn Tomasch on the way soccer marketing in America has changed based on the Portland Timbers

supporting the sport in an authentic way.

FIFA appears to be missing the opportunity to connect with fans around the globe according to
findings of a new report. Tamar's second Sports Index finds that while countless brands are
associating themselves with the World Cup through the various search engines and social networks,
FIFA seems reluctant to get involved in a similar way.
36 Dutch models sporting tight Orange dresses came out to support the Netherlands against
Denmark yesterday. Everyone watching the game thoroughly enjoyed the scenery throughout the first
half. At halftime all 36 women were removed from the stadium by FIFA officials because they were
part of a guerrilla marketing scheme by Dutch beer company Bavaria who are not official sponsors at
the tournament.

faster than the dashed hopes of fans in the U.S., England, France or Italy.

This isn't meant to be a plug for those companies.
Chris Schlosser needs to be removed from his position as Director of Digital Strategy for MLS.
That's the first, and most important, head that should roll based on the disastrous launch of the
new MLS web site last week. But I'm not sure MLS should stop there. The failure of the web site
project exudes mistakes at every step of the process and every level of the organization, and
belies a complete lack of understanding of the digital medium.
For those of us who have braved the cold/ braved the wet/ braved the searing heat/ braved the
return of the cold in the same season at BMO Field, know that it is an intimate place to watch a

of the action and the sightlines are great.

because of Dan's treatment of a tender commercial sponsor:
Hey, remember that Landon Donovan interview I promised/threatened?
Maureen Tkacik has a nice piece up at the Columbia Journalism review (via NSFW ErosBlog) that talks
about "a writer's search for journalism in the age of branding."
From a commercial perspective, "branding" has consistently bestowed its greatest
rewards on those capable of projecting a kind of elusive authority that turns consumers' fears,
insecurities, aspirations, unarticulated dreams, etc.

The 2010 FIFA World Cup marks the first time that social media is playing a prominent role in the

retiring from the prediction business while he's ahead, his owner Sea Life announced on Tuesday.

As promised another rant about Hansen. This time i'm going to take it out of context by
having a go at some of his shameless advertising...
Awful I know. But Hansen's advertising chops didn't stop there and continued with some god awful
