Adidas Predator Absolado Indoor Review

This our first ever product review and since indoor season is coming around if you haven't already started I’m going to review a pair of indoor boots. My adidas predator absolado indoor boots arrived yesterday. I ordered them from Eurosport/Soccer.com, so a shout out to them. These are the indoors based off the adipower. Just keep in mind that I used these boots on an indoor turf field, not on a basketball court.

Michael Owen Injury

Michael Owen started for Manchester United in their 2-0 win over Otelul Galati yesterday. Sadly, only ten minutes after the start of play, Owen was subbed off with Chicharito coming on. At first it was unclear, but replays showed that after Owen attempted to reach for a cross he missed and pulled his muscle. It was actually beneficial that he missed the cross because as it floated past the face of the goal, Valencia tucked it away to make it 1-0 in 8 minutes.

Kasey Keller

As the final whistle fell upon the hallowed ground of CenturyLink Field in Seattle Wednesday night, so too did the alarm on the end of the professional career of goalkeeper Kasey Keller.

Jaguare and Twitter, Leo Messi and his 200th Barca goal, and recent racial outbreaks in the EPL

I’ve got a few things to talk about in this post. Let us start with our friends down in Mexico. Jaguares de Chiapas have decided to substitute players names with twitter handles on the back of their kits. The numbers is also featured in ‘twitter blue’ with a bird to the right of it. Now this must be a sponsorship but is also a fun idea. I have contacted Eurosport/Soccer.com to see if they will make a jersey with a custom handle, @flagisup perhaps? I will get back to you guys when I receive a response. In the mean time, check them out;

MLS Playoffs 2011: LA v NY First Leg

LA Galaxy took the 1-0 win over New York Red Bulls on Sunday
with an early goal from Mike Magee. The match took place in Red Bull Arena,
therefore LA have the away goal advantage. Both teams had chances, but that was
the low score line we were left with. NY had more shots, but LA were more
accurate with their shots on goal percentage.
Juninho and Rafa Marquez were both shown red cards after Rafa threw the
ball at Donovan which caused Juninho to retaliate. They will have to sit out
the second leg match when Beckham, Donovan and Keane host Henry, Rodgers and
Ream. Here are some highlights;
