At the Emirates, Arsenal can take inspiration from their destructive performance at the weekend; the Gunners will look to the attacking threat of Arshavin and Chamakh.

Brazil Bring It

DonJulio — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 14:56:18 GMT

After the unveiling of the new national team kits last week, Brazilian players across the globe put in some scintillating performances over the weekend.

Alexandre Pato’s double guided the Rossoneri to victory to keep the pressure on the league leaders, while on the blue side of Milan, Maicon’s dynamic performance galvanised the Serie A champions; his equaliser sending Inter on their way to a crucial 3-2 away win to maintain their four-point lead.

It was another roaming full back, Dani Alves, who put in the hard yards to inspire Barcelona to victory and send the champions back to the top of La Liga. His telling assist made the difference in a tight game at the Nou Camp as Barca prevailed 2-1.

Players and managers talk about playing for the shirt, and with Brazil's (RED) friendly against the Republic of Ireland on March 3rd looming, it’s all about national pride this week.

Inside The Innovation: Day 2 – National Team Kits

DonJulio — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 19:58:49 GMT

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?

Mercurial Magic

DonJulio — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 11:48:34 GMT

In a prolific weekend for the strikers, the Mercurials were worth more than their light weight in goals.

Back in Brazil for less than a month, Robinho has fired three goals in three games while another Brazilian, Alexandre Pato, got himself on the scoresheet along with strike partner, Marco Borriello, for the Rossoneri in Serie A.

Nicklas Bendtner scored the winner for Arsenal in the Premier League, and over in La Liga Nilmar bagged one at the Bernabeu as Cristiano Ronaldo stole the show with a master class performance and a sensational free kick opener.

We got a shot of Robinho's Mercurials with (RED) laces, but if you want to see the next generation of Mercurial, make sure you’re on the Nike Soccer Facebook page for the exclusive launch at 1pm EST, Wednesday, February 24th. Don't miss out.
