Independiente Santa Fe

Last Sunday Independiente Santa Fe played Boyaca Chico. Santa Fe was the away team and somehow they forgot to bring their away jerseys. They had their home jerseys but because they were the same color as Chico's home jersey they couldn't wear them. To start the game Santa Fe wore their gray warm up jerseys and taped their numbers on the back. Because of the humidity and sweat the numbers began to peel off. At half time Santa Fe decided to buy counterfeit jerseys from a street vendor and color in their name and number on the back. The jerseys only cost $6.37. Santa Fe ended up winning 2-0. After the game Santa Fe's club president issued a statement apologizing to Umbro for using fake jerseys.

New Nike Mercurial

This is the new Nike Mercurial CR7. I think that it is really ugly. Most of the time I don't like the CR7 cleats. I think that Nike tries to hard to make the next big thing. It also seems weird to make such an "out there" cleat so close to when they made the Nike Premier, which is going back to the classic style. I think that lots of people will like this cleat despite the design just because Cristiano Ronaldo is going to be wearing it. If you like this cleat you can get it here. If you click on the picture you can view the rest of the CR7 collection.

Misspelled Names

I thought it would be funny to find names that were printed wrong onto professional soccer players jersey's. I thought of this because I knew somebody who was getting a Chelsea jersey and the company that made the shirt put Drobga instead of Drogba. I found the two above and there is also one for Chris Wondolowski. For Wondolowski they spelled it Wondowlowski. If you have seen any mess ups on name spelling for professional jersey say who it was in the comments. After further searching I actually found a list of misspelled things. It is pretty funny.

Fastest MLS Goal

Today New York Red Bulls played the Houston Dynamo. Tim Cahill of the Red Bulls scored the fastest goal in MLS history. He scored 8 seconds into the game. It was about 20 yard shot. The video is a little grainy but I couldn't find a better one.

2014 World Cup Qualifiers

Recently there have been a lot of qualifying games for the 2014 Brazil World Cup. Yesterday Netherlands smashed Hungary 8-1. Robin van Persie scored a hat trick. Hungary didn't even score their one goal, Szilard Devecseri scored an own goal. The game that really suprised me was Portugal Israel. The score was 1-1 and Cristiano Ronaldo didn't even score. Italy tied with Denmark 2-2. USA beat Jamaica 2-0. Jozy Altidore and Graham Zusi scored for the US.
