Great game today: 2 of the nicest goals I've seen in a while plus a boot to the face = classic!
There's no perfect system, clearly. Honestly, I don't get club football (not really having any top teams in US or Canada. It's so weird for me to see people from Cleveland OH live and breathe by the wins and losses of Arsenal. If I lived in London or Europe for example, it would probably be different.

I have the same issue. I can catch the occasional game, but I would have to buy some super sports package to get any real coverage. I follow highlights and scores for Chelsea during the season, but that's about it.
On a side note. Portland gets an MLS team next year at PGE park. I loved going to Timbers games (pacific league?) when I lived there and I will be sure to catch games when I'm in town when they are an MLS club. University of Portland still puts out some of the best players.
His head does look like a ball - honest mistake 
Thanks, Rip!
To Spain 
Wow, that was NOT the game I was anticipating. Now that my bracket couldn't get any worse, GO BIG ORANGE!!!

Beautiful goal by Spain, they really controlled the second half. I am bummed Germany lost, so GO NEDERLAND!
Thats what you get for starting a world war...

NASA has little else to do these days.
I kinda wanted to see Beckham bend that thing a bit. I want them to go back to a conventional, 32 (I think...) panel ball. The kind some of us grew up playing with. Of course I played shoeless, w/ a newspaper stuffed sock, in the Sao Paulo ghetto. Uphill, both ways. 7 miles each way.
I liked the old school ball from 2002.
The world cup seems to be the only tourney that changes balls. The '06 maxipad ball sucked ass, too.
Watching Spain last night was like watching a scientist dissect a large, dangerous beast. Had to be done carefully and was actually done masterfully. If they can maintain anything close to that level of precision in the final the Dutch will once more be the bridesmaids.
Was also refreshing to see such an important match devoid of yellow cards and if there were more than 10 fouls in the whole match I'd be surprised.

One would think that FIFA, an organization that seeks to standardize the game internationally, would also seek to standardize the ball.I liked the old school ball from 2002.

Adidas writes a fat check, I'm guessing. At least its round.
the last pro soccer game i went to....washington diplomats....rfk stadium...
Name the city this former NALS team played in:
As does Nike to USA Soccer. I said it a long time ago when Nike came aboard, USA Soccer will go nowhere with Nike as a sponsor. The former Secretary General of USA Soccer lived in my hometown...he got Nike to build a sweet field in town, which was quickly co-opted for softball and HS football.
Rochester. and it was the NASL, not the NALSName the city this former NALS team played in:
Correct sir. I blame the lack of coffee for the NASL mixup.
A sad truth indeed. Nike has some big names, but I don't think they have done much for the progression of the sport fo sho.
They have one of the nicest fields on the planet at the world campus in Beaverton. When I worked there, employees weren't allowed to play on it for fear they would mess it up in case they needed to do a photo shoot.
<edit> It's called "Ronoldo Field"

I always got the impression Nike a "me too" sports company. Which is not to say that they don't often put out a good product (See: Nike Poohbah)
I can say w/o a doubt that Adidas knows football/soccer from my past experience w/ their clothing, footwear and footballs (and has for the last 50+ years.) Nike, jumped on board about 15 years ago (?) and still doesn't quite seem to get it.

Word...I have never honestly had a GREAT Nike product, one that made me want to buy a couple dozen to hold for the future. Nike soccer boots lasted half a season, while Adidas lasted til you wore them out over multiple seasons or outgrew them. A Nike pair of MTB shoes disbonded quickly for me, while I am still wearing a piar of Adidas Durangos from 04-5...
Nike has moved out of hockey as quickly as they came in, which is good for the game. They never created anything, simply rehashed old designs and bought out existing design firms (Canstar/Bauer).
Although to be fair, I do like the Nike Dri Fit stuff, but its no better then Adidas Clima Lite or Under Armour, just easier to find.
Not in my world...
you girls and your fashion.
