Can I take a minute to testify? Thank you. I'm now 33 years old with little time for exercise and a
penchant for rich cheeses and savory meats. It is for this very reason that I possess a body type
that could be described as "rotund" and why many soccer jersey's come off like meat casing on my
frame.

This coming season promises to be the most exciting in years. Of course, every coming season
promises to be the most exciting in years. This is one of the many truisms of English Football.
Last season we gaped open mouthed as Manchester City clumsily wooed Global Franchise Entities with
the promise of dreams and Ferrero Rocher.

Making a soccer jersey is harder then it looks, especially when it's ‘tailor made in England.'
The new Umbro England Home Jersey 2009-2010 is the perfect way to celebrate your
favourite team (England) when they head for the World Cup this summer in South Africa.
The first thing I noticed when I first put on the jersey was how comfortable it felt.

As Newcastle United gear up to face Manchester City tomorrow, Shay Given has been informed that he
will not be playing against his future club. Yes, you read it right, Shay Given is on the verge of
wrapping up a deal that brings him to the City of Manchester Stadium. Although a signing won't be
completed before tomorrow's fixture, both sides have agreed that it's better if Given doesn't make
an appearance.

If you are going to get a soccer ball try the adidas TerraPass Effect Ball. The outer material is
made of a highly reflective material that gives the illusion of being apart of the ground.
Invisible no, but cool all the same. It's made of 30% Thermoplastic Polyurethane/ 60% Thermoplastic
Elastometrics/ 10% Polyester.

Watch it. It's worth it just to see Drew Carey's walk at the end. But where Freddie Ljungberg?
Wierd that the team's actual model didn't do the catwalk; perhaps he was prepping for a role on the
Right Said Fred comeback tour?
Oh, and I wonder if a certain someone was in the audience?

Allow me a moment to big up my guys Beans & Dunny at The Original Winger for their new Fall
collection from Bumpy Pitch. They've got new BP logo tees, they brought back a few of the classic
NASL logo shirts and went waaaaaay back to the days of leather balls for a few ASL teams. They're
all 100% dope and 100% designed and manufactured in the USA (they're helping to keep our people
working y'all).

Have any of you ever heard of Oath Apparel? I haven't but they've given Stuart Holden a side-job so
I can't hate on them. I'm told he's one of the models for their upcoming fall line of men's

TOR brothers-in-blog (and fellow DESIGNATED PLAYER) The Original Winger have started this nice

I don't know where you live, but in the part of New Jersey in which I reside there is plenty of
beach, and asphalt but not a lot open green space close by. I'm not saying it's Rockaway, Queens by
any stretch but finding a grass field for a kick-around isn't always an easy option. Which is fine
since you can just buy a bunch of stuff for your street game instead of waiting for Bono, Beckham
or some other celebrity to come and save you.

If you're in the market for a brand-new, second-hand automobile may I suggest that you consider
this Lamborghini Murcielago VT Coupe available at Autotrader.com. It was ordered by and custom made
for David Beckham before he left Man U for Real Madrid but he opted out of purchasing it. It's a
ride as sweet as his free kicks: powered by a 6.

Is it just me or are a lot of musicians secret soccer fans these days? Maybe they aren't but
perhaps someone at their merchandise company is. It seems everyone's discovering their inner

Vampire Weekend have one too.

When youth fades, it moves to Florida. When glory fades it moves to eBay. And in some rare cases,
that once shining youth and glory get a party house in Naples and move in together.

My buddy Gary hipped me to this shirt this morning. Apparently that Steven Cohen has been known to
wear one on air during his Fox Soccer Channel call-in show. With an such meticulous, nerd-knowledge
packaging details as a "not available in Europe" disclaimer it's pretty special, even if
you're not a Landon-hater like him.

So I'm fairly certain that this is one of the finest footie commercials currently in circulation.
Actually the word commercial doesn't do this 2 minute long, 12-inch mix of an advert justice. It's
something of a mini-movie/cautionary tale about how poor choice in footwear -specifically soccer
boots- can lead one to some very bad places in their career.

Hey are any of y'all fucking with Vampire Weekend? If your daily blogeration is not limited to ones
written by guys who're a bunch of wannabe-English soccer snobs and instead includes blogs written
by guys who're wannabe-English music snobs, you probably heard of them. If not, the 10 second
primer on them is that they are 4 recent Columbia grads who make sweet Afrobeat-infused indie rock
while dressed like the Ivy Leaguers that they are.
