VIDEO: Cristiano Ronaldo Freekick Mixtape

Jrodius — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 18:56:26 +0000

Gotta give it up to my man GVMX. I have highlighted his video comps here before, and he does it again with an epic effort here. Basically you can watch Cristiano Ronaldo, through four different terrible haircuts, slice up keepers from around the world. CR7 mixtapes are a dime a dozen, as are setting your comps to The Verve, but I really like what homeboy did with this one. Check it out:

VIDEO: Durban South Africa Speaks Out

Jrodius — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 01:40:08 +0000

If you can manage to get through the opening 10 seconds of this video, which looks like a How To video for all the terrible transitions that come with iMovie, I think you may like it. It’s a simple man on the street style piece, asking the people of Durban their thoughts on the fact that the world is about to descend upon them. More than anything, I think it makes the people of South Africa look friendly as hell. I hope the world returns the favor.

My favorite line? “We like fun people”

REVIEW: World Football Daily Premium

Trevor Hayward — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 12:34:57 +0000

World Football Daily is a daily soccer radio show hosted by Steven Cohen and Kenny Hassan, airing Monday through Friday beginning at 12PM EST. After the popular World Soccer Daily closed doors, the duo re-emerged as a premium service, charging listeners a low monthly fee in place of on-air advertisements. Below is my review of the service and all of the included premium features:

VIDEO

What sets WFD apart from many other shows, in my opinion, is the high quality video streams they offer of each daily show. Videos can be viewed in iTunes, streamed live on Ustream, in the Video Archive:

or using the pop-out player

WFD also includes videos shot outside of the studio, featuring interviews with USMNT players at the Home Depot Center and other content. Overall I was very impressed with both the quality and content of the videos.

AUDIO:

WFD offers premium members the option to stream the show audio live, or download as a podcast. WFD also maintains a great audio archive of every show:

Again, I was impressed with the audio quality as well as the extensive archive of shows, interviews and highlight clips.

COST:
WFD’s Premium service costs $4.99 per month or $39.99 per year. Premium members get access to the features listed above, along with access to the WFD forum and discounts in the store.

RATING: 4.5/5

Overall I was very impressed with both the pricing and quality of the content WFD has to offer. For the price of a couple cups of coffee(or one cup depending on your preferences), or a single video game, you get access to hours of entertaining content, including some great guests(Jozy Altidore, Harry Redknapp, Tim Vickery and more). While the site isn’t very aesthetically appealing(they are planning to role out a new site soon), everything functioned well and was easy enough to navigate.

CONCLUSION:
Take a listen to the preview clips here, if you enjoy the show, it’s a bargain at $4.99/month or $39.99/year. To subscribe or find more information, visit WFDPremium.com

This Week In US Soccer Tweets: March 9th

Jrodius — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 19:44:23 +0000

10Shirt.net will be posting a weekly digest of what we find to be the best tweets about our favorite game here in the US. Of course there are limitations. We can only track those people that we know about, so if you think you are spitting out footy genius on the regular and want to get noticed follow @10_Shirt and @Jrodius. We will follow you back and see what you have to say.

Also, since we can’t see every tweet in all of twitterdom, feel free to use the #10s tag on your best stuff. We will review everything that uses that hashtag, guaranteed. And, as always, we recommend you follow everyone on this list in order to ensure that you will always be a part of the best US Soccer conversations happening everyday.

I hope the same people who bemoaned Beckham for wanting to stay in Milan last spring are not crying over Donovan’s loan not being extended.

Lol watching Cobi Jones on a re-run of pros vs joes.. Haha shit talkin up a storm.

championsonfox

Wow: Vokes does his best impersonation of Ante Razov, skying the ball over the bar from close range. Should have been a goal for Wolves.

@SoccerByIves Eriksson is a great coach. The English are delusional. Look at some winning percentages for England coaches, Sven is near top

Looking forward 2 Everton-Hull at Goodison Sunday. If Jozy scores on Howard will USA fans be conflicted? Prob not. Jozy needs goal more.

Not sure what’s stranger, Arsene Wenger saying he enjoys a good tackle as much as a good pass, or Roy Keane critizing bad tackles (I know).

@Jrodius if my previous tweet about kevin hartman does not make this week in twitter review I will boycott something!

@Hillcrest_Road can kevin hartman play on the supporter’s team or would that require the cauldron trade an int’l spot for his rights?

Nike Unveils New Korean Kits (Video)

Jrodius — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 19:10:59 +0000

Nike – Korea Football national team Uniform Launching Movie from Cookie™ on Vimeo.

What’s with all the angry white tigers? Somewhere just outside of Vegas, Sigfried and Roy and shaking their heads and going, “Too soon.” The new Korean kit doesn’t seem to have too much flair, pretty basic white kit with a subtle watermark. If I had just beat the Ivory Coast, I would definitely sport a jersey much more Baller than this.

MADSTEEZ: The 144 Hour Soccer Mega Mural

FCShambles — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 20:06:45 +0000

This World Cup inspired mural is the product of California artist and designer Mark Paul Deren (aka MADSTEEZ). Nike commissioned the artist to create something spectacular for the rooftop of the Ricardo Montalban Theater in Los Angeles. MADSTEEZ painted the enormous 80ft x 30 ft mural in 6 days and said it is his “one of his most proud pieces.”

Check out some shots of the process, the final product, and the genius himself.

Dutch Playing For Blood (Video)

Jrodius — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 00:28:38 +0000

Someone please tell De Jong that this latest Nike video pimping the Dutch team is quoted as saying, “Break Their Hearts” not “Break Their Legs.” I officially blame Nike for Stuart Holden’s injury now. It’s their fault for getting these dudes all hyped up like they were Flavor Flav at a Public Enemy concert.

American Outlaw/WFD Deal Falls Through

Fran Harrington — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 21:22:12 +0000

Last night at around 9:45 EST The American Outlaws sent out an email to their members stating that they had reached an agreement with WFD and Steven Cohen in which

“-First, The first 25 AO folks to sign up for WFD get their first month subscription for free.
-Second, host and mastermind Steven Cohen will be a guest on the AO podcast this weekend!
-Third, the WFD crew will be at the Los Angeles Chapter viewing party on Wednesday for the Netherlands game.“

Today around 2:18 they tweeted:

“We are canceling anything involved with WFD & Cohen. It is not “Uniting” US Soccer fans and that is our only goal. We represent our Members”

This is due to some complaints about a relationship with Steven Cohen who has been the target of a lot of Liverpool fan’s anger after some controversial remarks he made about the Hillsborough incident in which Liverpool fans were killed.

The American Outlaws are an unofficial supporters’ group for the United States men’s national soccer teamand have been described as “a raucous group of U.S. supporters” by ESPN.Founded in 2007 by a group of fans from Lincoln, Nebraska, the group set out to better organize supporters at United States men’s national soccer team games.
