Transfers

I am starting to get tired of hearing about Gareth Bale. I keep reading about how he wants to go to Real Madrid but I just want something to be set in stone. I really like Bale and think that he could do really well at Real Madrid. I have also been reading that Cristiano Ronaldo is thinking about Manchester United. I would LOVE if Ronaldo came to Manchester United. Robin van Persie with Ronaldo would be deadly. I think that United needs to get a big name player soon. Some of the names I have also read for United are Cesc Fabregas and Bastian Schweinsteiger. Either of those players I would also love to have in United. I think that tho only one of these transfers that will happen though this season is Gareth Bale to Real Madrid. I found this about Bale and Real Madrid.

Werder Bremen Jersey

This is the Werder Bremen 2013-2014 jersey. I really like it. I like how instead of having the two different greens be checker board they are in diamonds. I also like how the collar is white and how it differs from the sleeves which have orange on them as well. And like always I like how this jersey is Nike. You can get the Werder Bremen jersey here.

Seattle Sounders vs Portland Timbers

Last night Seattle Sounders played the Portland Timbers. Seattle won 1-0. This was Clint Dempsey's first game for his new team. I don't like how Dempsey switched from Tottenham Hotspurs in the Barclays Premier League to Seattle Sounders who are in the MLS. Eddie Johnson scored the only goal in the 59th minute off of a header. The ball came in from Mauro Rosales's free kick. Seattle's next game is on Saturday against Columbus Crew. I'm hoping that Dempsey will be able to score in his next match. Portland's next game is on Friday against my favorite MLS team Real Salt Lake.

Best European Uniform

Fox Soccer made a uniform count down of best jerseys in Europe and put it on Twitter. They had 25 uniforms for 25 days. 25th was Liverpool and 1st, the best design, was Paris Saint Germain. I love the PSG jersey and think it was the right choice to win.I really am not that big of a fan on the Liverpool uniforms. Click here to see the list of uniforms. The Napoli away jersey is camouflage and I don't think that that was a good choice. I don't know why Napoli was rated 19th. I think they should have been ranked lower. I think that number three, which was Tottenham should have swapped with the number two which was Inter Milan. There is also the first draft of the Liverpool away jersey if you scroll lower. It looks like an ugly sweater. Also scroll to the very bottom for a funny story on Barnsley and Crystal Palace.

Jozy Altidore

Jozy Altidore of the US men's national team played his second game for Sunderland today. Sunderland tied with Southampton 1-1. Jozy hasn't been able to score yet with his new team but if he plays in their next game against Crystal Palace I think that he will. For a full recap of the match click here.

Arsenal vs Fulham

Today Arsenal beat Fulham 3-1. Olivier Giroud scored 13 minutes into the match assisted by Aaron Ramsey. Later in the 40th minute Lukas Podolski scored making it 2-0. In the 67th minute Lukas Podolski scored again assisted by Santiago Cazorla. In the 76th minute Darren Bent of Fulham scores their only goal making the game 3-1. Unfortunately one of my favorite players, Dimitar Berbatov, was unable to score for Fulham. For a full game report click here. Arsenal's next game is Sunday September 1st and Fulham's next game is Saturday August 31st.

Chelsea Away Jersey

This is the Chelsea away jersey. I really like the simple design. I like how there are the two horizontal stripes on the chest, one red and one blue. I like how they differ in size. This jersey made the top 25 jersey list. To see the top 25 jerseys click here. This list was made by the people who made the top 25 ugly jerseys. Beneath the picture it says, "Fresh from murdering a family of Smurf, Fernando Torres and Demba Ba are here to show off the new Chelsea away strip." When I saw this picture I had no clue what was up with the blue. I really don't like it at all but the jersey makes up for the blue. 

Barclays Premier League

The Barclays Premier League kicked off on Saturday the 17th with seven games. Manchester United, last seasons champions are off to a good start. They won the pre season community cup shield and started their season with a 4-1 win over Swansea. Last years runner ups, Manchester City, are off to an even better start with a 4-0 win over Newcastle. Due to goal differential Manchester City are ahead of city rivals Manchester United. Manchester City looks like they won't be missing Carlos Tevez who is know playing for Juventus. The game that surprised me the most was Arsenal losing 1-3 to Aston Villa. Because it is so early in the season Arsenal shouldn't be worried. If you want results and standings for the Barclays Premier League click here.

Nike Premier Cleat

Nike has made a new cleat called the Nike Premier. The cleat is good for fit, traction and touch. It is designed however to look like an older style as you can tell from the picture. Unlike new cleats that are bright and multicolored this cleat is plain black and white. At first I didn't really like the look but now I think that it is cool. To read more about the Nike Premier and to see more pictures click here. You can buy this cleat here.

Community Shield

Yesterday Manchester United and Wigan Athletic played for the Community Shield. Manchester United made it to the Community Shield by winning the Barclays Premier League and Wigan made it to the Community Shield by winning the FA Cup. Manchester United won 2-0. David Moyes is starting off his Manchester United with one award already. Robin van Persie scored both of United's goals. Seems like Manchester United is off to a great start.

International Champions Cup

Last night Real Madrid played Chelsea in the International Champions Cup final. Real Madrid beat Chelsea 3-1. Before the match Jose Mourinho had been criticizing Cristiano Ronaldo. Why Mourinho had been criticizing him I have no idea because Ronaldo scored two of Real Madrid's three goals. One came from a set piece going over the wall hitting the crossbar and going in and the other came off of a header in the box. Ronaldo was also awarded as the Man of the Match. You can get Cristiano Ronaldo's Real Madrid jersey here. Marcelo Vieira scored Real Madrid's first goal and Ramires scored Chelsea's only goal.

Clint Dempsey

Clint Dempsey, former player for Tottenham Hotspurs recently transferred back to the MLS. Clint Dempsey is going to be playing for Seattle Sounders. Clint Dempsey will wear the number two Seattle Sounders jersey. USMNT coach Jurgen Klinsmann isn't that happy with Dempsey's move because he wants his players to play at higher levels. It will be interesting to see if Spurs by anybody new because they might lose Gareth Bale to Real Madrid.

An American Coach in London

I found this video called An American Coach in London. It is so funny. It's about a coach from America being head coach for Tottenham Hotspurs. The coach doesn't know anything about soccer. I love when he asks who Gareth Bale is and where he is from. I also like the part when one of the guys hammers the ball over the goal and the coach thinks it is a field goal.

Nike Tiempo Futsal Shoes

This is the Nike Tiempo Mystic 4. I really like this futsal shoe. I like how the laces are a different color than the rest of the shoe. I like how the color of the laces is used for the stitching, tongue and other parts of the shoe. For my next pair of futsal shoes I want some Tiempos. Antonio Valencia of Manchester United wears Tiempos. Valencia's cleats are blue with a white swoosh. You can see the different colors if you click on the picture.

Nike Mercurial Veloce

This is the Nike Mercurial Veloce Firm Ground. It is a very simple design but the cleat still looks good. I like the way the electric green looks with the silver. This cleat is usually $120.99 but now it is on sale for $79.99. I like how the sole of the cleat has air holes for better breathability.

New Tottenham Hotspurs Kit

This is the new Tottenham Hotspurs Kit. I like how on the collar and sleeves there is black then white then black again. I like how the badge is solid black. Under Armour made a simple but very good looking jersey. I love the away jersey. The color is really nice and the pattern on it is very cool. If you click on Tottenham Hotspurs it the away jersey is worn by Gareth Bale on the right. It will be interesting to see if Bale will be staying with Tottenham or if he will go to Real Madrid.
