As many readers of this blog will know, some German women who play competitive football posed for
Playboy. These are not members of the national team, but they are women who play high level
football in the country.

Sevilla, a very good club in its own right, will march up against the behemoths of Real Madrid
in the Copa del Rey semifinal on Wedneday. Tough ask. In order to put the fear of both God and red
body paint into their rivals, they whipped up this little viral in which they tell Mourinho "we

On twitter last week, I noted the Dynamo's reliance on their cheerleaders (the Dynamo Girls) in
marketing their Party Zone for the first game this year:
Which is eh, but not in itself worthy of a full blog post. However, Amanda at Needs More Kittens

Soooo...this guy showed up to cheer on Indonesia in their SEA (Southeast Asian) Games
semi-final against Vietnam in Jakarta a couple of days ago and he bought what appears to be his

match in nothing but a slathering of red body paint and your pyjama bottoms?
Woke up this morning to learn that my favorite new marketing campaign has "gone viral", with
Jeremiah Oshan attributing the 16,000 season ticket sales that took place before the ad ran to the

they've reportedly sold close to 16,000 season tickets already.
