This is a case of beer. We are making an argument or case about something. See the connection?
On Friday, Toronto FC announced a major sponsorship deal with beer giant Budweiser for the upcoming Major League Soccer season. The five-year deal will give Budweiser and its sub-brands Bud Light, Stella Artois, Alexander Keith's and Michelob Ultra pouring rights at BMO Field, plus many promotional events in and around the stadium including tailgates and a new Budweiser "King Club" beer garden.
Sorry for the lack of posts yesterday and today. Should be back settled tomorrow. For now,
here is a Footiebusiness post from last year about the companies that invest in Major League
Soccer.
We often discuss Major League Soccer's various corporate sponsors and the important role they
play in funding league operations and cementing the league's legitimacy in the eyes of the busines
community.
Wembley FC play in the English Combined Counties League which is eight divisions below the
top-flight have not only gone Stateside thanks to the help of sponsors Budweiser but they have also
signed several former Premier League stars in a bid for FA Cup glory or at least qualify for the
first round proper at least.
A while ago the good people at Budweiser offered me the chance to meet Brian McBride.
Stanley got Scarlet Fever the day before the shoot so I didn't think it'd be wise to expose the
great man to the virus, so I sent through a few questions instead. Word was that Brian was very
gracious and answered them all well and in detail, so it's a bit of a shame that we see so little
here.

You will have heard of the name, but many people may not realise that non-league club Wembley FC
are actually backed by lager giants Budweiser. The American company has donated large funds and
signed former players such as David Seaman, Graeme Le Saux, Martin Keown, Ray Parlour and Claudio
Caniggia. The promotion is linked to [.
For those hoping to see Brian McBride return to the playing field, your wishes have come
true.
McBride will be suiting up for ninth-tier English side Wembley FC during its quest to make a run
at the FA Cup. The team, which is pairing a number of aging, retired, former standouts with its
host of amateurs, is being funded by Budweiser, a lead sponsor of the FA Cup, and is also the
subject of a television documentary that will detail its efforts to pull off a shock cup run.
Look for the Philly Soccer Show podcast later this morning with guest John Hackworth. The new
Union head coach talks to KYW's Greg Orlandini and PSP's Eli Pearlman-Storch about how he is
different from Peter Nowak and what he learned from him, the upcoming transfer window and what the
Union might be looking for, the merits of Generation adidas, how to get the best out of Lionard
Pajoy and Freddy Adu, the 4-3-3, Saturday's game against Kansas City, and more.
Brian McBride will be returning to competitive soccer as a member of Wembley FC. The club plays in
England's non-league pyramid, but has signed David Seaman, Ray Parlour, Martin Keown, Graeme Le
Saux, and Claudio Caniggia along with McBride for this season's FA Cup. The club is sponsored by
Budweiser and the FA Cup campaign will be the subject of a documentary series called Dream.

When pre-match handshakes become the subject of fervent debate and garner more analysis and
predictions than the actual football match that tends to follow them, something has gone wrong. So
in an attempt to help sidestep half the day's racial tensions, the FA decided that QPR and Chelsea
should just avoid hand shaking situations at all costs.

A SERIOUS allegation was made by a visiting football player at Anfield last night and as it
should be it was taken seriously by the club and, vitally, the police. The player in question,
Oldham Athletic defender Tom Adeyemi, was visibly upset and angry at something that had happened
towards the end of Liverpool's 5-1 win over his side in last night's third round tie in the
Budweiser-sponsored cup.
It sucks to be right sometimes. We mentioned this back in October that Qatar was going to try to
wriggle out of FIFA's agreements with Budweiser and providing alcohol during the matches.Obviously,
there are religious issues to overcome, but it isn't unheard of as "premium" hotels in Qatar (not
sure what a not premium one is) are allowed to sell alcohol, but the talk is now that Qatar will

FIFA, eh? Watching over us all with ever-loving grace. Fighting the good fight. Tackling the
real issues that threaten to undermine our beloved game with feverish haste and ruthless
efficiency.
Over the last couple of years Eden Hazard has become quite a talented little lad.
The Belgian international has become one of the most sought after players in Europe and he is
loving the attention.
Giants of the game like Arsenal, Real Madrid, Manchester United and Barcelona have all been linked
with a move for the Lille play-maker.

Anfield Rd: Liverpool drawn at home to the Mancs in 4th Round
AFTER beating Oldham 5-1 in the Budweiser-sponsored cup at Anfield on Friday night Liverpool

Oldham in this Budweiser sponsored cup match, but as strong as it might be it isn't Liverpool's
