Several of Nike's international kits for 2012 have apparently been 'leaked' by a company in China, and we've snaffled a few photos for you to give the once-over. See what you reckon (open in a new tab for larger images)...

Any favourites Pies fans?

Malaysia limped past Myanmar 1-0, Indonesia huffed and puffed before defeating Vietnam 2-0 (Patrick Wanggai, Titus Bonai) so the SEA Games Final in Jakarta tomorrow night is a rerun of last year's AFF Cup Final between Indonesia and Malaysia.
Expect another sell out crowd at the Bung Karno as the ticket prices and rain are doing nothing to dampen Indonesian's enthusiasm for, finally, following a winning team.

The Academy have won all four of their last four outings (including two friendlies in Slovakia) and they will no doubt be hoping to continue that run of results when they host West Bromich Albion's Academy at Carrington tomorrow morning. West Brom are one position below United in the Premier Academy League and were beaten 4-2 last [.

Two weeks ago United took on Crewe and got themselves back to winning ways (4-1) before they travelled off on their annual team building and strength-testing trip to Slovakia. Goals from Januzaj, Barmby, van Velzen and Rudge were enough to cement what was a much improved performance by the Academy and also gave us a chance [.

The U.S. meets Slovakia for the first time since the 2-2 draw at the 2010 FIFA World Cup

U.S. Supporters Section Tickets Available Through U.S. Soccer

Tickets for the U.S. Men's National Team match vs. Slovenia on Nov. 15 are now available for purchase through U.

We'd like to tell you a brief story.
After two relegations in a row Stockport County appointed former German international Didi Hamann as manager three months ago.
And it is already looking as though a third demotion from the Conference National is on the cards as County are level on points with Lincoln City who occupy the fourth relegation slot currently.

Another round of internationals done and dusted, and once again Liverpool's participants come out unscathed. That makes it two breaks in a row without serious injury, which is both a refreshing change and strangely unnerving. At least this latest break wraps up the European Championship qualifying group stage.

All Russian fans now know that their team almost have one foot in the finals. After defeating Slovakia 1-0 though Alan Dzagoev's long range goal, Russia are now in first place with 20 points and a draw at home to Andorra will confirm a ticket to Poland and Ukraine. In [read more]

Liverpool Football Club would like to offer their congratulations to Martin Skrtel and his girlfriend following the birth of their baby boy. Barbora gave birth to Matteo in Liverpool on Friday night.
Speaking to his official website, Skrtel said: "I would like to announce great news! My lovely girlfriend Barbora gave birth to our first child!

This is the internationals wrap up thread. Try to contain your excitement.

We'll get back to Liverpool soon enough, as we're now more than halfway there, and for the most part it was a successful Friday for Liverpool's internationals. It was a complete success for us, though, as we didn't see anyone pick up an injury on the day.

England became the seventh team to qualify for EURO 2012 on Friday on a night when Russia and Greece took huge steps towards joining them and the likes of Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina ensured top-two finishes.

Last month holders Spain and former European champions Italy, the Netherlands and Germany ensured their finals berths alongside co-hosts Poland and Ukraine, and to that number can be added England after their 2-2 draw in Montenegro settled Group G.

Kevin Doyle's 10th international goal set Ireland on the road to a comfortable victory in Andorra as Giovanni Trapattoni's men completed the first half of their European mission.
Doyle's seventh-minute strike gave Ireland an advantage they never threatened to surrender and when defender Ildefons Lima deflected Aiden McGeady's shot into his own net 13 minutes later, the points were effectively safe.

Slovakia and Russia get Liverpool's day started from Zilina at 7:15PM BST/2:15PM EST

Euro 2012 Qualifiers:

Slovakia v.

Good draw for England in the Euro 2012 as they have been drawn against Ukraine, France and Sweden. It is by now way an easy group for England, but considering who England could have been drawn against, Fabio Capello cannot be too upset.

In every tournament there is a proverbial "Group of Death" and Euro 2012 is no exception.

With just two matches left in the qualifying process for the 2012 European Championships, the Republic of Ireland remain in with a very real chance of getting to their first major tournament since the 2002 World Cup.

Thierry Henry and France's controversial- and undeserved- win meant heartbreak for the Boys in Green in the 2010 World Cup play-offs.

Three Key Matches In Final Round Of Euro 2012 Qualifying - originally posted on Soccerlens.com

After more than a year of matches, the group stage of UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying is down to its final two matchdays. Co-hosts Poland and Ukraine, reigning European and world champions Spain, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands are all set for next summer's tournament, but by Tuesday evening, we'll know who the other six automatic qualifiers are, along with the eight sides who'll duke it out in two-legged playoffs in November for the final four spots.

The curiosities of the FIFA world ranking system reared its head again this week after the latest edition saw England drop four places from fourth to eighth, despite winning their last two games.
Not that fourth is anywhere near an accurate assessment of where England sit among the world's footballing elite, but is seems the way teams are ordered is done in an apparently random way, regardless of their recent football scores.

Kenny Dalglish has saluted the attitude of Martin Skrtel following the defender's impressive displays in an unfamiliar right back role.
The Slovakia international assumed the position following an injury to Martin Kelly in the recent win over Bolton and gave another solid showing in the defeat at Stoke.

Vyacheslav Malafeev must feel a little sheepish when he looks at his latest Russian cap. For the 32-year-old barely deserved it.

That isn't a slight on his efforts, but merely a reflection on the game against Ireland, which saw the home side attack for the entire 90 minutes, meaning Malafeev could have had a little sleep and still kept a clean sheet.

Spoilers: Everybody came out of this set of internationals fit and unscathed and ready to take on Stoke on Saturday. Except perhaps for Martin Skrtel, though any damage he picked up is going to be of the mental variety. In any case, September's international break is over and done with, which means no more worries about Liverpool players getting injured in borderline meaningless games.

Stewart Downing was in fine form as England beat Wales 1-0 at Wembley to put themselves on the brink of qualification for Euro 2012.
The Liverpool winger capped a lively display by setting up Ashley Young's 35th minute winner.
Meanwhile, Anfield teammate Andy Carroll was introduced as a late substitute for the Three Lions.

Serbia is set to face the Faroe Islands in Group C action, while Kazakhstan heads to Azerbaijan in an exciting match-up of countries that can't qualify for next summer's European Championships. Plus there might be a couple of games that you'll be vaguely interested in because hey, it's football, which is better than nothing.

Ireland captain Robbie Keane has admitted Tomorrow's Euro 2012 qualifier with Russia is a game 'The Boys In Green' cannot afford to lose if they are to maintain hopes of qualifying for the finals in Poland.
Giovanni Trapattoni's side were held by Slovakia last Friday in a disappointing performance in the Aviva Stadium and trail Russia by two points with three rounds of games remaining in Group B.

Stuart Pearse, England under-21 Manager had the good sense to allow Jordan Henderson return to Liverpool ahead of the game against Israel's under-21 international, Monday evening.
Pearse's Captain put in a commanding performance in midfield against Azerbaijan, scoring a delightful goal in the 6-0 victory.

Internationals. Qualifiers. Friendlies. Fun.

Three out of four ain't bad?

Hey, at least none of Liverpool's players came out of the first round of distractions with any knocks they didn't go in with...

Bulgaria v. England

England kicked another puppy around to the cheers of the press and have now clinched a top two finish in their group—first gets you into the Euros automatically, while runners-up get to head to a playoff.

Coupled by a 0-0 draw between the Republic of Ireland and Slovakia in Dublin, Russia have once again taken the top spot in Group B after a victory over Macedonia in Moscow today. These two results set the tone for the encounter with Ireland on Tuesday and puts Russia into [read more]

Ireland's hopes of automatic qualification for Euro 2012 are in the balance after an abject 0-0 draw with Slovakia at the Aviva Stadium.
The home side produced a nervous and sloppy display that allowed the visitors to control possession and territory.
A number of fine saves from Shay Given and a Sean St Ledger block on Marek Hamsik made sure the visitors left with just one point.

With less than a year to go until the European Championships kick off in Poland and the Ukraine the qualifying rounds in Europe are starting to hot up.

With the drama of the past few days behind us, focus begrudgingly shifts towards the meaty part of the international break and a full slate of matches for Liverpool's internationals. It'd be nice if the end of the window was closely followed by a match for the club it's not a completely new-look squad, but it has the feel of some sort of fresh start, and a chance for renewed optimism after a relatively disappointing end to the summer's activities.

This Friday, Russia could take a two point lead if they defeat Macedonia in Moscow and Ireland draws with Slovakia in Dublin. With this scenario Russia will move into first place with 16 points ahead of Slovakia and Ireland with 14 points. This is of course one of many scenarios [read more]

Republic of Ireland manager Giovanni Trappatoni sprung a surprise after naming Shane Long upfront for their 2012 Euro qualifier against Slovakia tomorrow night alongside Robbie Keane who usually was partnered by Kevin Doyle, the only other change is Stephen Ward who replace's injured Kevin Kilbane who misses out for the first time in 12 years in Competitive action for the Republic.

On this week's predictions we feature some of the big games from the European Championship qualifiers teams are trying to reach the finals in Poland/Ukraine in 2012 as well as some games from the Asian qualifying section for the 2014 Brazil World Cup.

Another Manchester City player is moving to La Liga with the news that Espanyol have reached an initial deal with City to take Vladimir Weiss on loan for the coming season.

The 21-year-old Slovakia international, who has had loan spells at Bolton and Rangers during the last two years, travelled to Barcelona on Monday morning in a bid to put the finishing touches on the switch.

Malaysia's Olympic Games Qualifying campaign received a further boost when it was announced three of their young players had signed a two month loan deal with Slovakian side FC Vion Zlate Moravce.
Fadhli Shas, Zack Haikul and Irfan Faizal are part of the Malaysian team that have been based in Slovakia the last few months and obviously FC Vion, who are 3rd in the Slovakian league, liked what they saw and signed the three on a short term deal.

Nope, this is not a piss taking post.
Malaysia has young players in Slovakia mixing it with local teams but Indonesia has had a young team in Uruguay for a few years now and, rather unusually for Indonesia, they have been working under the same coach all that time.
Unfortunately named SAD, it's an acronym that works better in Spanish I believe, the young Indonesians have been on a tour of Chile where they achieved a level of consistency no-one will appreciate
