Congratulations to whoever is running the promotions over at The Onionbag. I saw this gem when I visited their site yesterday…definitely got a laugh out of me.
The OnionBag was offering free printing of “Terry 6″ on the England Home Jersey through Valentine’s Day.
As reports roll in that Alexander Hleb has stepped down as captain for the Belarusian National Team…one can only wonder what else John Terry has been up to.
I found this in the August 7th, 1993 issue of Shoot. Ryan Giggs was destined to be a star at United…aside from whipping in crosses and taking on defenders he sells a mean kit.
Look at these three…having the time of their life. This is what it would look like if Sam Waterston, Tate Donovan and Diane Wiest all got together, suited up in some old Umbro unis and decided to play a poor man’s game of Subbuteo.
Disney teamed up with Umbro to produce a limited number of “Tuff Mickey” soccer apparel via Soccer World. The Mickey Tees and Mickey Badge Shorts were created for World Cup ‘94. Once they were sold out…they were gone.
Does anyone remember this?
As everyone’s aware by now, the United States drew England, Algeria and Slovenia in the 2010 World Cup draw. The US has never played either Algeria or Slovenia. We’ve played England 10 times…lost 8…but won 2 memorable games (for Americans anyway). The US beat England in the 1950 World Cup off a Joe Gaetjen’s goal. The United States also beat England at the 1993 US Cup, with some help from the now slightly polished Alexi Lalas.
Drop us a line and say "hello."
