Mario Balotelli's New Cleat

This is the new cleat that Mario Balotelli was wearing against Roma. The cleat is covered in newspaper headlines about himself. Seems like something a very humble person would come up with. Balotelli has had a contract with Nike but it is coming to an end so nobody is really sure who made this cleat. Soccer Cleats 101 thinks that it might be Puma. For more information you can click on either here or here. Fox Soccer is the first link and Soccer Cleats 101 is the second link.

MLS Cup Final

On Saturday Real Salt Lake and Sporting Kansas City played in the MLS cup final. It was in the middle of the day which seemed like a weird time. I wasn't able to watch the game because I was in California for the Western Regional Footlocker race for Cross Country. Both teams scored only one goal in regulation and overtime. Sporting Kansas City won the MLS cup in a penalty shoot out. You can watch the shoot out above. If Saborio had hit his PK then I think Real Salt Lake would have won. Palmer's shot should have gone in. Usually if the ball hits the crossbar on a PK it goes in but not this time. I hate when players do a stutter step on there PK. Velasquez did a stutter step and his shot ended up being blocked.
