El Clásico

DonJulio — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 16:42:47 GMT

One goal separates the two teams at the top of La Liga.

One Zlatan Ibrahimovic goal was the difference at Camp Nou.

Barcelona go to the Bernabeu in search of a winning double over their fierce rivals.

There are fine winning margins. There are no small victories.

Captain's Example

DonJulio — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 17:49:37 GMT

Driving force; inspiration; captain fantastic: Cesc Fabregas is many things to Arsenal football club.

Perhaps the finest exponent of Arsene Wenger’s nurturing approach to the beautiful game, Cesc returned to inspire Arsenal to a hard-fought victory that put the Gunners on the verge of the Premier League summit.

After scoring the game’s opener, and masterminding the second, the influential Spaniard struck his 10th league goal of an already impressive season.

A convincing win on Wednesday night will see Arsenal top the table; a befitting throne for the Premier League’s new king.

Cesc’s on course for his best scoring season. Can he break the 15 goal barrier?

The kids are alright

DonJulio — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 18:47:32 GMT

Written off for the title, decimated by injuries, and reeling from high profile summer exits, Arsenal’s faith in its wealth of young talent has been sorely tested this season.

Guided by Arsene Wenger’s devotion to playing the beautiful game, the new generation vindicated their manager’s unwavering football philosophy by stepping up when it mattered.

Carlos Vela has shown flashes of the creative genius under Eduardo’s tutelage, Jack Wilshere’s eased into his attacking pre-season form, and Alex Song’s emergence as a midfield enforcer has been instrumental in the club’s renewed assault on the Premiership.

Unbeaten in their last five games, boasting four convincing wins from four in the Premiership, and fighting on three fronts for silverware, Arsenal’s youngsters had to come of age quickly. They have.

Can Wenger’s young guns deliver silverware this season? Have your say on the Nike Football Facebook Page

History is theirs

DonJulio — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 12:30:46 GMT

There are simply no more trophies left to win.

After 120 minutes of football in Abu Dhabi, Barcelona became the first side ever, to hold every single club trophy at once.

Pep Guardiola has led his team into history. No side has ever achieved this. And no team can ever beat it.

This victory is forever.

Super Mario smashes it

DonJulio — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 14:44:54 GMT

Sometimes you witness the precise moment a promising talent moves up several gears into the major league.

For the man they call Super Mario, it happened in just 48 minutes. Last night, Balotelli scored two, created one and won the penalty for another. He even had to be dragged away from taking the spot kick by the regular penalty taker. Balotelli is not lacking confidence.

Watch the video to see how Balotelli hones his touch and dribbling.

Will his skills and growing confidence be enough to book him a ticket to South Africa?

Pain is temporary. Defeat is permanent.

They taunt you and they hack you. But you know what you need from the game.

Three points. A performance to keep your place. To crush your fiercest rivals.

So when you’re brought down again, for the seventh time – that’s when you get up, rise above it and turn the game.

Feared Far and Wide

DonJulio — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 08:00:00 GMT

Black, brooding and with a V for victory slashed across its chest, Man U’s new strip has been engineered to inspire the away win – before a ball’s even been kicked.

Like the home strip, this kit is rooted in a century of history, with elements taken from the very first Old Trafford season of 1909/1910. It’s been designed to intimidate, with a blue chevron; black shirt, shorts and socks; and ‘The Theatre of Dreams Since 1910’ woven onto the inside label. It’s dark, menacing, and readies the team for another electrifying season.

The Buzz is back

Celtic have swarmed all over the Scottish Premier League title in recent years. Their hunt for further success sees the return of the famous bumblebee stripes to the new club kits for 2009/10.

While the classic home strip remains untouched, the team’s new away kit has the familiar bumblebee colours – volt green and black hoops wrapped around the shirt. On the waistband of the black shorts, a single star symbolises the team’s historic European win, and the 1888 date recalls the year the bhoys began.

The international kit has a white shirt with Celtic tartan shoulder panels; a pattern that also appears on the shorts and socks delivering a shot of national pride as they march into Europe in the new season

The Stars of Italy

DonJulio — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 07:34:49 GMT

There’s no one like Inter. The only club to have never dropped from the country’s top tier, it’s been a century since they won their first major trophy. And they’re not finished yet.

The classic blue and black stripes of the new home shirt – unaligned from back to front – echo the design worn during the 1965/66 season when the club won their tenth Scudetto. The star earned as a result sits proudly above the club’s crest, which itself is enclosed within the Italian flag – an honour only granted to the country’s reigning champion.

The same details are included in the away kit. Only the colours are different – a white polo collared shirt with a black and blue royal band. Inside, both strips display a woven label reading ‘Inter Centenario Del Primo Scudetto’ – Centenary of the First Scudetto. Here’s to another unstoppable 100 years.

Give everything

Many things make the difference in a game. But there’s one thing that turns games in a second.

Tradition Reborn

DonJulio — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 12:49:25 GMT

The 1980s. Juventus won 11 trophies in a single decade. Back then the shirt was black and white, but with narrower stripes than in recent years. This season the look returns, giving the club a striking appearance and a reignited passion for success.

On the inside of the home shirt, the label proudly shows off the Italian flag with a single lone ‘J’ woven into the centre. The away kit is just as simple: silver shirt, black and white sash, black shorts and Juventus stamped onto the calf of the white socks.

It’s all here in black-and-white. The Old Lady stands rejuvenated, ready for the launch of another glorious season.
