The Total Orange colourway caught Didier's eye; Wayne and Patrick liked the idea of taking weight out of the boot, and Michael summed up the Elite Series pretty enthusiastically: "for me, it's perfect".

Ten Years of Deadly Accuracy

BLOG_AU — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 04:09:56 GMT

Every goal changes a match.

Some goals are works of art. Some simply make a statement. Some are just scored at the perfect time.

Over the past five weeks, we've selected our favourite T-90 goals for their style, execution, and importance.

1# - Wayne Rooney quickly demonstrated that his lofty price tag was always going to be an investment, capping of a wonder-debut performance with a hat-trick at Old Trafford.

#2 - In the Italian season curtain raiser, and a match characterised by Inter's dogged determination, Figo's nerveless extra time free kick was the game's telling moment of class.

#3 The Anfield faithful craved a new striking hero and, in front of the home fans, in a heavyweight Premier League match against the Blues, Torres delivered in emphatic style.

#4 - Deep into injury time, Barcelona were going out of Europe. That was until the ball broke to Andres Iniesta and he spanked it into the top corner to send the Catalans through to the final.

#5 - Federico Macheda's sublime turn and shot snatched three vital championship-winning points for United. Some players don't have to dream about last minute winners.

Which one is your favourite T90 strike?

32 nations, 1 mission

BLOG_AU — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 03:43:26 GMT

The groups are drawn, the matches set and history awaits.

The chosen 32 have earned their tickets to South Africa. But belief and an appetite for glory will now be put to the test on the world’s biggest stage. Who’s hungry?

Expect danger and perfection in equal doses when Drogba, Fabiano and Ronaldo clash in the early stages. All three lethal finishers will aim to change the game at all times. Backlines brace yourselves...

England will go into their first match against the USA with plenty of confidence, having blazed to the top of their qualification group. Combine Rooney's ruthless eye for goal, Ferdinand's strength and Theo's lightning-quick pace and you have a team ready for business.

But no longer considered inexperienced upstarts, Landon Donovan's side have proved they can hold their own, finishing second in the Confederations Cup – expect the unexpected.

And it’s not just about the big guns. The smaller nations will also be eager to shake things up this summer.

Michael Essien, Muntari, Song and Obi Mikel will be holding it down for the African nations and baring their teeth with the best of them. While South Korea and Australia provide the giant killing potential and look to cause 2010 upsets.

As 2010 draws near, one thing’s for certain – everyone believes they can win it, one team will prove it.
