With most of the Premiership clubs already settled on their new kits for the upcoming season, lets play Joan Rivers and take a look at what to expect from these walking billboards. Explanations and grades included.

Talk about more pressure to win next season.

I've mentioned before on here how the local ads the Portland Timbers are putting out are genius. I found this little slideshow over at Stumptown Footy (great Timbers blog btw) that shows off all the photos from those billboards that tower over the Rose City.

Enjoy.

We like to feel that in the years we have existed, our influence has infiltrated the collective consciousness of the footballing world in some small way.

This weekend kicks off what is sure to be a thrilling season in France. After Lyon's selfish display of seven consecutive league titles from 2001-8, the past three champions have been different and a fourth this season would be no surprise. Luckily, League 1 has always boasted an exceptional array of club names.

It is the time of year when votes are cast in Major League Soccer. These include the VW Most Valuable Player, Allstate Goalkeeper of the year Defender of the Year, Coach of the Year, referee awards and more (there are less with sponsors this year as compared to last year). We cast our votes earlier this week and will certainly report on the winners when they are announced.

The Portland Timbers will be participating in the MLS Supplemental Draft on January 18 at 2 pm to hopefully acquire more building blocks for their inaugural season. Meanwhile, the team finally secured the services of Kenny Cooper, who has immense talent and an impressive playing resume. The Timbers are also making off the pitch news by working with local neighborhoods to address game day parking concerns, while their ad campaign appears to have stirred concerns about the size and location of billboards around Portland.

The BIMBO Bear is tired of people not pronouncing his company's name correctly, shown here in a doctored photo of one of the BIMBO billboards on I-95 and various locations in Philadelphia

While the Union have gained enough internet media popularity to have spawned two fake Twitter accounts, the team has yet to find itself with anyone who covers the team quite like The Fightins or I Want To Go To The Zoo With Roy do with the Philadelphia Phillies.

I realize this is Portland Is Wonderful Week - probably, as the saying goes, with great justice. Portland soccer is back on the map...wearing Adidas shirts. That's like, I dunno, thousands of people knocking back Diet Pepsi in downtown Atlanta.
But a couple of Du Nord links raised my hackles and my cockles.

I'm pretty sure this week is already the craziest, if not the busiest we've seen thus far this season. So many teams involved in midweek games last night and all are playing this weekend. Talk about short rest for everyone but at least in some matches there is a level playing field.

The busy Saturday slate has plenty of talking points so let's get to them.

Time for a Memorial Day Version of the Monday After. We spent some of the weekend in the Boston area and were treated to a number of billboards on the major highways surrouding the City that were promoting the Revs/Manchester United match. The boards show images of players on both teams with large replicas of both teams' crests.

The quarterfinals of the WWC are starting this weekend and the US will play Brazil on Sunday at 11:30. The match will air on ESPN, Galavasion and ESPN3.com. Ian Darke will do the play by play for US audiences. The tournament has not made a significant impression on the US sports psyche. Although the games have been televised and promoted, this US team has not captured the imagination of the American public.

In the back-and-forth battle between Manchester City and Manchester United supporters during the past two years, which included billboards in the city advertising ‘Welcome to Manchester' adorned with Tevez's face on a blue background, it's now the...

Manchester United fans put a billboard mocking on Carlos incident teasing Manchester City fans. The billboard was in Manchester "city center" on Friday evening.
I didn't really understand the joke fully till I saw this picture which was was the billboards of Manchester City in 2009 welcoming Carlos Tevez to the club
I have to add, for a reason or another, no matter whatever he did, I really never liked Tevez.

Everybody loves Tim Tebow. Denver Broncos fans REALLY love Tim Tebow. A fan upset with Broncos head coach John Fox for not playing Tim Tebow has purchase two billboards to show his support. Check out the Tim Tebow billboards pictures below.

These billboards are up in Denver and, honestly, are really ugly.

Bambang Pamungkas is the Gary Lineker of Indonesian football. Even the masses who loathe and mock the local game as unworthy of their attention recognize Bepe, as he is known, as a rare rose amid fields of energy sapping mud. His cherub looks and calm demeanour have crossed over from the football field to the advertising world where his face sells various products from billboards and buses.
