Arsenal vs Manchester United
So Arsenal and Manchester United are set to face off this weekend in a top of the table clash. Both teams are sitting on 26 points, although Arsenal is on top through goal difference and still has a game in hand. Many will say that this game could decide the eventual league champion but I [...]

Following on from a couple of posts I made about the technology involved in soccer (first with soccer balls then monitoring/statistical equipment), I thought I’d look into the latest innovations in soccer boots/cleats. What better shoe to start with then the Nike Mercurial Vapors. Not that I’m a Nike man or anything but I’ve [...]

Just a quick post with some of the best highlights you’ll see (if you’re into one-sided demolitions!) from the champions league this matchday.

Inter had to fight back from being one goal behind to seal a win in Moscow, 2-1.

Next Kaka’ took an optimistic shot from some distance which [...]

Okay, so after going through all the hassle of moving from blogger to wordpress, I soon found that I was limited again by the hosted version (on the wordpress site itself).

I love it whenever a player speaks out hypothetically and the press goes wild. Kaka’ was interview earlier this week by Esquire magazine and was quoted as expressing interest in playing in England or Spain if he were to ever leave Milan… Well shock, horror! If you’re not playing in Italy, what are the other [...]

Continuing on from my earlier post about soccer ball technology I wanted to explore some other high-tech advances that are going on behind the scenes of the modern game.
