After the excitement of the first day of the Write The Future launch, day two needed to pull out all the stops.

From the exclusive national team kit catwalk to the recycled technology behind the uniform design, the second day strongly continued to deliver innovation.

Comfort and lightness were at the heart of the new national team kit blueprint, with Dri-fit reducing the accumulation of sweat, and the shirts’ meshed side panels dispersing body heat.

Appearances from a host of international footballers, including Alexandre Pato, Clint Dempsey, Nani, and Ryan Nelsen, gave attendees a close up, personal view of some of the shirts that will be worn in South Africa.

Will one of those shirts be worn by the winning captain?

In Tampa Bay last night the USMNT pulled off an injury time goal to secure a 2-1 victory over El Salvador in what is one of the last chances for coach Bradley to take a look at his player pool in preparation for South Africa.

With the spotlight firmly on the African nation thanks to soccer, it's more important than ever to harness the power sport can provide.

With that in mind, the USMNT showed their support for the Lace Up Save Lives campaign designed to use the power of soccer to raise awareness on the fight against AIDS In Africa.

The stadium side boards were dressed in RED, and the players tied on (NIKE)RED laces and (NIKE)RED track jackets.

To be the most successful international team in history, you need the skill and determination to continue the legacy.

For every new crop of promising Brazilians, there has always been a role model to look up to, and for any aspiring striker in the modern game, the phenomenon is more than a player. He is an icon.

Winning on the grandest stages for some of the biggest teams in the world, the Mercurial marksman was amongst the deadliest strikers of his generation.

With his 2011 retirement announcement still fresh, it's now time for the new breed to steer Brazil to international glory in South Africa.

Playing at home against the current champions isn't easy.

But if in just 8 seconds you're down 0-1, the task complicates further, for everyone except Wilmer Aguirre.

The Peruvian striker not only supported the Lace Up Save Lives campaign, wearing NIKE(RED) laces in his Mercurials, he also made the difference in a historic victory for the 'intimos'.

Fast and lethal, Aguirre did what he wanted with the defenders. His three superb goals owned the night, and thousands in Lima, Peru, are still celebrating.

Nothing is more representative of the joy that characterizes the Brazilian people than Carnaval.

So what better way to introduce the Brazilian National Team's new away jersey, honoring a team that gives so much joy to their enamored fans.

Robinho debuted the new uniform at Marquês de Sapucaí, the famed corridor for Carnaval.

The new jersey has the latest in modern technology, innovation, shape and comfort for athletes.

The blue color amplifies the visual novelty of this new version: the entire front has prints in yellow pigment, which give the sensation that the symbolic and victorious color of the official uniform is emanating from the fabric and brings the two jerseys closer together. The details on the collar and shoulders complete the design.

Want the inside look at more kits including the U.S., Brazil, and other nations?

From a secret location in London on 2.24 and 2.25, Nike will write a new chapter in football history where a revolution in national team kit design will be revealed.

A great match between two great teams. The one difference was Wayne Rooney.

But it didn't start that way. Ronaldinho had Milan on top after just 3 minutes and controlled much of the first half. But Manchester United woke up right before the break and tied the game, setting up a second half primed for The Rooney Show.

Deadly accuracy did not disappoint. Two goals in ten minutes. Two surprise headers caught San Siro silent, and even a late goal couldn't bring them back.

To England now - will it be any different in the second leg?

You stand over the ball just outside the penalty box. A wall builds between you and the goal keeper.

Everyone knows it's coming.

But where is it going? Over the bar and into the stands or crashing into the top corner?

This weekend in Mexico, Jose Francisco Torres gave us a lesson with a left-footed bending blast, which turned out to be the match winner.

Trajectory, Spin, Speed. Over the wall. Out of reach.

School is in session. Are you taking notes?

Nearly all the attention of American fans is currently on England, but Michael Bradley is continuing his quiet resilience and deadly accuracy in Germany.

Quickly becoming his trademark, the American midfielder sliced the defense with another laser pass, this time a 30-yard through-ball from the mid line which led to the first goal in a 2-1 victory.

His stellar pass and all-around solid play won't show up on the scorecard, but as we learned a few weeks ago, Bradley isn't looking for attention. He's just wants the ball.

Master Accuracy

Nhlanghla Dube (Mooki) is a 19-year-old defensive midfield player for Zimbabwean Premier League team Highlanders.

In between games and training sessions for Highlanders, Mooki spends time coaching boys and girls for Grassroot Soccer in his home town of Bulawayo.

"I take the issue personal, recently my uncle died of HIV/AIDS," Mooki says.

The Grassroot Soccer training sessions integrate soccer skills and fitness with life skills training, particularly focused on HIV/AIDS awareness, prevention, and removing stigmas about the virus and the disease.

His favorite part of the curriculum is TeamTalk. By sharing personal stories, children learn they are not alone. Knowing that it has happened to more people makes the kids stronger.

"Training kids about HIV/AIDS using soccer is the only way to fight this issue," Mooki says. "They love soccer; I love soccer. When I am with the kids, I forget, and I am free--they are free."

Next season Mooki will be working on getting Highlanders back to the top of the Premier League. "The teams in Harare have had it good too long."

Join the fight and help fight the must-win battle against AIDS in Africa.

Thanks to excellent technical skills, accuracy, and strength, Inter Milan has become the best team in Italy. But it's not just skill; the “nerazzurro” spirit makes the difference.

With love for soccer and his team, Marco Materazzi harnessed that spirit and fought through pain until the end of the match. That effort fuels the spirit and gives the team the strength to overcome.

The Italian defender suffered the injury in the middle of the second half with no chance for substitution. He had to stay on field. So Inter moved him to striker. He was not decisive in the match result (as an injured player usually is), but he was decisive for team strength, for "nerazzurro."

This is Marco Materazzi’s nature. This defines "nerazzurro." This makes the difference.

The ball leaves your teammate’s boot and in less than a second it’s flying over you.

The defender follows you closely. But not close enough. Two yards of grass are enough to see you flying away. By the third step you’re in the air.

That's all Sergio Ramos needed to make the difference with the technical skill only the rare few could grasp.

A perfect twist of the head, and the goal is finished off inside the far post.

Ramos showed once again that he’s not just one of the best defenders in the world, but also one of the best masters of the header.

The precision of his boots doesn’t limit him to making passes to his forwards – he also knows what to do when he’s on the receiving end.

Defense is in his blood. Precision in his feet. Goals in his head.

Never stop believing. Up to the very end, you have to try taking 3 points at home.

After almost 90 minutes of perfect defense, it’s time to make the difference.

Mirko Vucinic, fighting for every ball until that final whistle blows, finally finds space after a corner kick in the 82nd minute to collect and blast the ball under the crossbar.

1-0 for Rome. With only Inter Milan above them on the table, it’s just the beginning for Vucinic.

As in this game, the Montenegrin forward will fight to the very end to be league champions.

So close, so far. The semi-finals of Europe’s elite club competition are almost here.

Barcelona, down 1-0 in southwest London, entered the third minute of stoppage time needing a goal.

The ball broke on the left side of the field, and Iniesta calmly took a couple of steps back.

As a pass found his feet, the Spaniard edged forward and planted the ball into the top corner.

The stadium erupted. Iniesta ran to the by-line to celebrate. Guardiola sprinted half the length of the pitch in joy. And Barcelona went on to become the first club in Spanish football to complete a historic treble.

Was Iniesta's strike the best T90 goal ever?

Flying under the radar of personal highlights, "Nine Americans started in England, France, Germany and Mexico on Saturday, and none lost."

Among the group, Landon Donovan and Tim Howard helped secured another shutout victory. The same goes for Carlos Bocanegra in France. Michael Bradley controlled the midfield against one of the top teams in Germany, and Jose Francisco Torres regained the handle on a starting role in a blowout win in Mexico.

Every player knows winning breads confidence, and with South Africa quickly approaching--just 130 days--the time is now to build the daring mentality that can be the single difference between a win and loss on the world stage.
