Twitter reacts to Nintendo’s E3 press conference with love, revelry
Posted on June 15, 2010 | No CommentsWhat's the hottest story on Twitter right now? Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal in the World Cup? Nope. Brazil? Sorry. Work or shoot: Bryan Danielson and WWE? Nein. No, friends, the hottest story right now is the goings-on over at Nintendo. The company is on stage giving its E3 presentation, and people are sorta all over the place. Has Nintendo's fan service worked this time around?

Cristiano Ronaldo re-launches online presence in time for big game tomorrow: Facebook, YouTube, and more!
Posted on June 14, 2010 | No CommentsThe eyes of the world will be looking upon Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo tomorrow as he attempts to single-handedly take his country past the opening round of the World Cup. (Will Didier Drogba have anything to say about that? We'll see!) Just in time for Cristiano's moment in the sun: the launch of his official Facebook page, YouTube channel, and the re-launch of CristianoRonaldo.com! That's right: while Mr. Real Madrid is on the field in South Africa trying to break down the Côte d'Ivoire defense, you can send him kind words of encouragement via the magic of the Internet and social networks.

UK misses out on Nike World Cup ad, Rooney red-hot with anger (maybe)
Posted on May 24, 2010 | No CommentsThat Nike World Cup ad I mentioned the other day has aired, I think, 800 million times over the past few days on TV. I know I saw it at least once during the Champions League final at the weekend (which Inter thoroughly deserved to win). But get this: the very first time the ad aired in the UK the final six seconds of the ad never made it on the air! Someone's getting fired...

Video: Nike proves once and for all the world needs a bearded Rooney
Posted on May 21, 2010 | No CommentsWe’re about three weeks away from the beginning of the World Cup. You know this because I’ve mentioned it over and over again since 2008. Fancy Adidas this, super-advanced Nike that. And so on. Today’s edition: a three-minute Nike advert that was directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu (of “Babel” fame). Even if you have no [...] -
Why are we so afraid of technology ‘ruining’ soccer? It’s not like technology hasn’t been all over the sport since its inception.
Posted on March 8, 2010 | No CommentsThere's a myth out there that technology will ruin soccer, what Pelé (and others) once called "the beautiful game." Let me ask you something: is this Cristiano Ronaldo free kick any less beautiful because he's wearing the latest Nike boots? Do you have any idea how many hours are spent developing the technology that's built into things like the Nike Mercurial Vapor Superfly II? Rest assured that Nike pays top-tier engineers a handsome wage to ensure that its boots are state-of-the-art. Should we take away Gonzalo Higauaín's goal against Germany because he's wearing Adidas TechFit? Or maybe we should cancel the World Cup altogether because players will be kicking around the Jabulani, a ball that Adidas' engineers had been working on since the day after World Cup 2006? This fear of technology "ruining" soccer is not only unfounded, but it's simply ignorant of the fact that technology has always been part of the beautiful game, and it always will be. Arguing that the sport needs to be kept "pure" should result in a direct red card. (See what I did there?)

FIFA officially rules out using goal line technology at this year’s World Cup. In other news, FIFA is dumb.
Posted on March 6, 2010 | No CommentsIs FIFA the worst organization on the planet? I'd say so. World soccer bigwigs have concluded a meeting in Zurich, and they've decided against implementing goal line technology at this year's World Cup. Yes, why would you want to introduce a legitimately helpful technology into a sport that so desperately needs it? Ridiculous.

Facebook campaign demands Portugal soccer team rock mustaches for the World Cup
Posted on March 5, 2010 | No CommentsMost social media campaigns stinks on ice. I think the one exception to that ironclad fact was the recent I'm With Coco meme, which I'm not even sure you could call a social media campaign. This one, though, this one totally is. It's called "Queremos a Selecção de Bigode no Mundial!" It's a growing movement to get the entire Portuguese national soccer team to grow mustaches. I've taken to calling the movement the Portuguese Mustache Federation, which, conveniently enough, doubles as a fantastic indie rock band name.

Nike Sense technology automatically adjusts stud length in your soccer boots. Hey, if it’s good enough for Cristiano Ronaldo!
Posted on March 2, 2010 | No CommentsFortune smiled upon me a few days ago, giving me the chance to check out Adidas' new equipment that'll be used during the World Cup. It was fun. Nike, on the other hand? Well, apparently the company hates us for reasons I'll never understand, so I had to find out about its new boots, also to be used in the World Cup, via some other site. I mean, come on!

Sure, a £3,500 Motorola phone. Sounds good to me.
Posted on October 23, 2009 | No CommentsLet's be honest for a second here: unless we're talking about the Motorola Droid, which should be on Verizon Wireless within a few weeks, we might as well not be talking about Motorola. It'd be like talking about Real Madrid and only mentioning Granero or Drenthe and not Cristiano Ronaldo or Kaká. (Good, making references that all of 11 people will understand.) But we're going to that such a thing right now in talking about the Motorola Aura Diamond Edition. It's £3,500, which converts to, roughly, $5,700. Yeah…

Flumotion adds DVR-like ability to pause live streams for Champions League games
Posted on September 28, 2009 | No CommentsMatchday Two of the UEFA Champions League begins tomorrow. You probably already know this, because, really, who doesn't love the Champions League? Exactly. But unless you have DirecTV (here in the U.S.), you're stuck with whatever games are on the Fox networks. These games primarily feature the English teams, because, I guess, the idea is that “Americans speak English, so they probably like English teams.” Maybe it's a ratings thing, I don't know. (There's a point to all of this, believe me.) There's a company based out of Barcelona called Flumotion that has developed a new, maybe even better, way to watch the Champions League online. If you're at all familiar with a DVR, then you're familiar with the company's new setup.
