Cristiano x You x Mercurial Vapor IX?

You’ve seen Ronaldo rocking the boot. At the end of the day tomorrow, it can be yours. It’s been far too long, but we’ve teamed up with SoccerPro and they’ve given us a pair of the new Mercurial Vapor IXs. And they are sexy. Right, how do you enter to win these? Pick one of these three options.

Boom. Simple. Now, get scoring. We’re off to do the Kidiaba. Don’t let Xavi catch you blinking. [Posted by Eric. GIFs via CRS. Follow AFR.]

R9 x 3nil

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. 

Getting nostalgic and embracing the present: Best of football boots

The original Vapors. The Puma King. The adi Preds. All bring back memories of fitter days and more spritely spirits. As our friend Bryan Byrne points out, “over the years, there have seen hundreds of different releases that cater to different player types, some featuring technology and others relying on comfort and basic performance.” He decided to compile a list of the top 25 boots in football history. The only things missing are my old Kelmes, so I want to open this up: what are the best boots you’ve ever owned?
