As you know adidas has been running the Impossible Is Nothing campaign and have recently sent
our a survey about the YouTube commercial they did with Becks and Reggie Bush. What I found
interesting about the survey was the question they asked,
"Everyone around the world, except in the US, calls soccer "futbol."
Do you believe it should be called "futbol" in the US too?
In my book it has to be Celtic vs. Rangers because of the deep rooted history of this match.
It's so much more than just football...its about religion, politics and social attitude plus
football.
I bring this up because there has been all this chatter recently about why is the MLS not on par
with the rest of the world's leagues. Give me a freakin break!
I have to say I am not a supporter of David Beckham as a player, but....(Some)
MLS supporters need to calm down. I can appreciate people are upset having to wait for him to come
to the US, then they have to wait for him to play and then they have to wait longer because he's
unable to play on his debut.
Having said that, Becks was playing injured during his last season with Real Madrid.
FANS-
Fans go to a game and bring their noise makers and horns. Fans are to busy talking to the person(s)
next to them to know what's happening in the match, their kids are screaming and yelling because
they're bored or hungry or have to go to the bathroom. They follow a team until the team does
poorly, but not to worry because they immediately pick another team to follow (usually one that is
in 1st place).
It's where football is the most unpopular. Two of the most populated countries in the world
China and the US as far as all players according to Fifa's Big Count have the most participation in
the sport. So, why are the countries not better represented on the global stage?
You think it might have anything to do with the bureaucracy of the countries governing
bodies?
