A couple of things: Let us first distinguish the difference between a racist and racist abuse (also read racist comments). I don’t believe that Luis Suarez is a racist and there are enough people who would vouch quite comfortably for him, including the head of the PFA and possibly even Evra himself – I [...]
Note to SoccerReviews readers (and editors!): You will have noticed that I comment often on the England squad and their adventures whether it be the World Cup last summer in South Africa, or their attempt to put the demons of 2008 behind them and qualify for the European Championships next summer, or their international friendly [...]
As my brother calls it, I have an “obsession” with Umbro. And I do. It’s perhaps more of a fascination, but if ever there was a good example of brand affiliation, it would be my connection with the double diamonds. Growing up with the likes of Michael Owen and Alan Shearer touting the Cheadle-based brand [...]
Anyone who might follow me on Twitter or on Facebook will know that I have very limited patience for modern footballers. I cannot understand how someone being paid in a week what most people can only dream of earning in a year or a lifetime can match their salaries with such immaturity, or, in some [...]
It was not Nike’s best debut for their latest boot, the fourth incarnation of their popular power T90 Laser range. Compared to Cesc Fabregas’s nigh-perfect introduction of the CTR360 several seasons ago with two goals and two assists, this weekend’s revealing of the the T90 Laser IV in England’s top flight brought two goals from [...]
I wrote about my admiration for England’s performance against Bulgaria last week, and I had high hopes for the team going into this local derby. England-Wales, or rather any matchup between the Home Nations, is always going to an exciting encounter, especially following Wales’s impressive win against Montenegro last week. Gary Speed’s team has come [...]
Continuing my work with Danny and his team over at Exposure, I managed to get my hands on Umbro’s latest creation, which some could call their response to Nike’s CTR line of boots. Hopping from continent to continent, I did not manage to give the boots a proper run out until last weekend, and although [...]
It was a curious treat to watch England in Sofia. I am currently in the Netherlands till the end of the year, and so naturally had to watch the Oranje strut their stuff against European whipping boys San Marino on the telly. However, being forever partial to the Three Lions, I was watching them simultaneously [...]
This is going to be a short one and a follow-up from my previous post when I first spotted PUMA’s latest product. That post can be found here: http://soccerreviews.com/news/are-puma-working-on-a-new-pwrcat/ Since then, I decided to browse Joey Barton’s twitter, which is something I do from time to time to amuse myself. In it, he briefly mentions [...]
This is not necessarily something that is on every one’s radar, but I did notice that we hadn’t picked it up in our recent Wiki(BOOT)Leaks calendar and it is worth mentioning. Considering the astounding success of Puma’s PWRCat boot range, a standout favourite for the likes of Nemanja Vidic and Michael Carrick of Manchester United, [...]
