Do real men wear pink?

5
November 18, 2008 - The latest shock tactic in sports gear has been unveiled by Nike: the pink soccer cleat - for men! So what guy is brave enough to put in a shocking pink performance? A guy very sure of himself - who's fast as a whippet and capable of scoring a hat-trick every game. Or [...] Click to continue reading...

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink Has Retired

0
The Premiership's 8th-leading goalscorer of all time, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, retired today, and I'm amazed at how quietly the whole thing has gone down.

The Dutchman is one of two players never to have played in the Eredivisie and still be selected to Holland's national team, scoring 9 goals in 23 games for the the Oranje. Click to continue reading...

Photo of the Day: Ouch

That's the side of Bryan Namoff following Saturday's 3-0 win over the Rapids. A rapids player's cleats apparently missed the ball (and the ground) and found Bryan's rib cage... either that or a dragon attacked him. Just another day at the office for ol' #26.

Media Game/Cherryh Wants to Play with You

3
So, the KC Media Blue team defeated KC Media White team 1-0 last night on a Bob Rusert goal. Props to Mr. Brisendine for predicting the correct final and goal-scorer. We'll give Dynamo the assist on the goal, since he somewhat illegally took the goalkick for 810's Jake Gutierrez directly to Rusert. Gutierrez recovered to make a great save, but the rebound went back to Rusert for an easy tap in (that 810's Nate Bukaty tried to steal with a late touch on the ball). Click to continue reading...

Colorful, Bold, Iridescent Cleats?

1
A while back I put up an article about some colorful cleats one of my players had gotten and mentioned 'Iridescent' and 'Cleats' in the article. Well that post gets tons of hit from Google searching for those keywords. But bold colorful cleats are not that common. Kelme had the Chameleon. Adidas PowerSwerve cleats come [.

Think 'cleats' and you probably think of a black boot with three white stripes. adidas made them famous (as did many players who wore them), but cleats have been getting flashier and more colorful. From gold, to iridescent, to just about any non primary color you can think of - cleats let players make a [. Click to continue reading...

The Funk Wars - Opening Salvo

6
Having battled the funk for a few years and mostly losing (i.e. I'm much more likely to say 'Sure!' when the kids ask for new cleats), I decided to try the kitty littler 'sachet' suggestion from a commenter at My Tiny Kingdom, and see what happens. So off to Wal-Mart I go in search of [...] Click to continue reading...

Beating Back ‘The Funk’

Any soccer parent of a child 8 or older becomes quickly acquainted with 'That SmellTM'. I've had stinking sneakers before, soured wet towels or car carpets, mishaps while emptying RV septic tanks, trips to the local landfill, and even the worst, a gallon of milk that got left in my home office fridge for weeks [...] Click to continue reading...
