3nil FC joins Barça, Juve, Man Utd, PSG, and Bayern with Top of the League

It’s only mid-February, yet some clubs have been impatient. Who needs drama when you can go out and put one hand on a trophy three months in advance? Barça are already hoisting the La Liga title, Bayern are running away with the Bundesliga, and Manchester United are closing in on their 20th Premier League title. With Top of the League, 3nil wanted to share make a shirt that shares that tremendous feeling of reaching the summit after a treacherous path and enjoying the view. [Posted by Eric.

Our friends at 3nil are finally paying homage to one of the greatest strikers of all time.

That striker is Ronaldo. The original. O Fenomeno. Featuring his beloved Brazil’s yellow and green, this poster captures the spirit of a true legend of our beautiful game.

Don’t wait to snap this up, you never know when a great poacher is around the corner. 

3nil Presents #USMNT

No, we’re not speaking in tongues… For the majority of our stateside readers, I don’t need to explain this one. Anyone who has lived on used Twitter or Tumblr in recent years knows that the “#USMNT” is the United States Men’s National Team. Last night, the USMNT earned a 1-0 victory over Jamaica, making their chances of going to Brazil in 2014 ever so bright. Our friends at 3nil will be supporting them along the way, and they’re showing their support through a fresh new product.

In 3nil’s words…

• 3nil has an ever expanding fan base around the world and one of the most loyal countries to our club is the USA. Blessed with a mix of nationalities and culture (much like our native Australia), the game is loved from coast to coast in America.
• Something that brings everyone together is the men’s national team, the USMNT.
• 3nil has decided to honour football in United States by releasing ‘#USMNT’, a unique iPhone cover that will surely please any fans of our beautiful game.

For USMNT fans, the goodness goes beyond the pitch. Embrace it and spread the word. You can have another look at 3nil’s latest product here, and also get in touch with them on Twitter, Tumblr, and Facebook.

Stylish and Educational! 3nil’s Onside/Offside Shirt.

Imagine a perfectly timed run from the far side. Ozil slips Benzema in, which is followed by a cool finish to the far post. But there’s something wrong; the assistant referee has raised his flag and the goal doesn’t stand. Mourinho, furious on the touchline, takes off his “Arsene Wenger-lite” jacket to reveal a shirt that says it all. That is onside. This is offside. He shows the ref, then puts his coat back on and walks back into the dugout.

Now we’re now endorsing that sort of conduct, just throwing it out there. Why? Because our friends at 3nil have a brilliant new design.

In their words: “The fine margins of the beautiful game go hand in hand with the fine margins of quality design.”

The Tiki Taka Contest: “How many passes, Xavi?”

Two Clásicos in two weeks. It’s the Copa del Rey, sure, but it’s still a Clásico. Will Barcelona outclass Real Madrid? Well, much of that argument will depend on the performance of Xavi, Barça’s metronome in the midfield, and the club’s continued mastery of Tiki-Taka football.

The Contest: Predict how many passes Xavi will complete over the course of the two Clásicos. Closest prediction wins. Simple.

The Prize: A limited edition “Tiki Taka” shirt from 3nil (pictured above), celebrating a high tempo possession game comprised of impossible triangles created all over the pitch that is a delight for all football fans to watch.

How To Enter: You can tweet your predictions @afootballreport or write on our Facebook page until kick-off on the 18th of January. You must be following 3nil on Twitter (@threenildotcom) or like their Facebook page to be eligible.

Tiki Taka, the possession game perfected by Xavi. Time to pick a number.
