There has been immense pressure on Torres since his huge transfer from EPL

Wesley Sneijder wears the Nike T90 Laser III Elite Soccer Cleat. The Inter Milan playmaker has been in terrific form over the past 12 months, having won the Champions League led Holland to the final of the World Cup. This season his form has continued in Serie A, with Manchester United upping their intention to sign the 26 year old this summer. Sneijder prefers to wear the Elite version of the

Lionel Messi currently wears the Adidas F50 adiZero soccer cleat. The Argentinian superstar celebrated scoring his 50th goal of the season this past weekend, while wearing the Warning/Black/White colorway. Interestingly, Messi chooses to wear the Leather version of the F50, unlike many other players who decide to wear the Synthetic version. Another interesting fact is that Messi chooses to wear

New York Red Bulls have a star in the making in striker Juan Agudelo. He currently wears the Adidas F50 adiZero soccer cleat in the Lightning White/Radiant Pink/Cyan colorway. The 18 year old has made already made a name for himself on the international stage, with big goals against South Africa and Argentina. Playing alongside Thierry Henry seems to be a great position for Agudelo, with the

Newly crowned English Premier League "PFA player of the Year", Gareth Bale, wears the latest version of the Adidas F50 adiZero Prime. His chosen colorway of late has been the very colorful and eccentric Lightning White/Radiant Pink/Cyan version. Bale's performances for club team Totthenham Hotspurs have been nothing short of brilliant this season. I find the F50 adiZero Prime to be the ideal

Landon Donovan currently wears the Nike CTR360 Maestri II. The LA Galaxy star has been one of the main focal points of Nike's advertising campaigns in the US, primarily because of his performances on the national stage. He also had a very successful loan spell last season with Everton. Currently, the colorway of choice for Donovan is the White/Black/Tour Yellow version. The CTR360 Maestri II

Manchester United Striker Javier Hernandez wears the very consistent performing Nike Tiempo Legend III soccer cleats. Also known as Chicharito (or little pea), the Mexican has been an absolute sensation in his debut English Premier League season. Since his move to Manchester, Chicharito has consistently worn the Nike Tiempo Legend and they have been instrumental in seeing him surpass the double

Real Madrid and Germany attacking midfielder Mesut Ozil wears the current Red Plum/Windchill/Volt/Black colorway in the extremely popular Nike Superfly III range. Ozil, who transferred to Real Madrid in the summer of 2010 for $20 million is one of the most exciting prospects in European prospects - and the Superfly III matches his playing style.

Wayne Rooney wore the latest colorway to be released in the Nike T90 Laser III colorway during Manchester United's Champions League clash with Chelsea. There is no doubting Nike will be exceptionally pleased with Rooney's return to form in recent times, with the English striker putting in some scintillating performances. This version of the T90 Laser III comes in a White/Black/Chlorine Blue and

Cristiano Ronaldo debuted his personalized Safari version of the Nike Superfly III in Real Madrid's clash with Barcelona last weekend. This was designed by and specifically for Ronaldo, with a safari print covering the entire boot. A bright inner volt yellow graphic has been added for visual effect.

Adidas have released their latest Predator X release - this time in a Black/Black or "Blackout" version. I like this release a lot and I am sure that I'm not the only one who does. The Predator range is designed to offer power and accuracy when striking the ball. You only need to look at David Beckham as an example of the type of player that Adidas target with this release!

Oh yes! The world of soccer boots has again been rocked - and this time it is the turn of Adidas! This latest lightweight boot is named the Adidas Adizero Prime, and it weighs in at an incredibly light 5.2oz. Of course, they are going to be best suited for really fast soccer players who like to move quick with the ball, but my question is how will they hold up to harsh challenges? Are players

It is the time of year again! After an exciting summer of World Cup Action, the EPL is ready to kick off again. It all starts on Saturday morning with Champions League participants Tottenham Hotspurs taking on big spenders Man City. It is sure to be an absolute cracker of a game, with both teams having high hopes for the season ahead. On Monday, the final game in the first round takes place

This Sunday, the huge Premier League clash between Arsenal and Manchester United will be shown live in 3D! The game will be shown on Sky Sports (BSkyB) in a selection on unnamed locations, with the broadcasting giants stating they hope to make this a permanent feature of their subscription service for both pubs and home viewing.There are only 9 locations that will be showing the game, 6 in

News is coming through that the Puma PowerCat 1.10 will be released in the next 2 weeks. The newest release will be an alternative to Puma's current V1.10 range. Some features of the new cleat include an off center lacing system, a new type of 'power' design. Also, unlike the V1.08 and V1.10 that are made of synthetic materials, the PowerCat will be created using a supersoft K-leather. That is

I have to be honest, I was not sure whether Landon Donovan was going to make an impression on the Premier League or not. Well, after 3 games, I really think he has a right to be playing among the best in the business. In Everton's midweek game with Sunderland, the American striker scored his first Premier League goal. And it was a pretty nice goal too! He took a ball out of the air at the top of

The worst winter in Britain for over 100 years! The debate over a winter break has gone to-an-fro for the past few years, and there is no doubt that this past weekend will increase the arguement that taking a two week break is the way to go. Normally, this set of fixtures is one of the most highly anticipated of the season, as it sees teams taking the field for the first time in the New Year.

In a small village, called Castledermot, in Ireland you will find a soccer team that is built around tradition and Success; Castle Villa FC. Founded in 1969 by Walter Brooks, the team celebrated its 40th year in existence last October. In that time, the club has won many Dublin leagues, and in recent times has been one of the more dominant teams in the Kildare and district league. There was also

Is it true that Owen Coyle is going to move from Burnley to Bolton? To be honest, it probably will happen, but in my opinion it is not a good move for a gifted manager like Coyle. This past summer, I played with Ventura County Fusion versus Coyle’s Burnley team, and boy was I impressed. At that stage, Burnley were people’s favorites to drop straight back to the Championship. But after that game,

This past summer, the Homeless World Cup took place in Milan, Italy from the 6th to the 13th of September. It was a huge success with 48 nations and 500 players taking part. One of the benefits to holding an event like this is the fact that it gives homeless players the opportunity to focus on something outside of drugs and alcohol...and it is an opportunity to represent your nation! It just

Absolutely love this one, just for the fact that you see how much a pair of cleats mean to a player. To quote Stevie G, he states that "What happens is you get used to one boot and you really fall in love with it and then some way they find better ways to improve the boot". Lets be honest, every time we wear a new pair of cleats they feel like the bee's knees, only for a better pair to be

The first line of this article reads "You might not know Gary Paterson by name, yet. But you absolutely know him by the work he and his team at EA Sports do." I have to admit, I had no idea who Gary Paterson was before I read this article, but now I do know and I absolutely know that he is a key component in the world on soccer gaming and international soccer.

So, this is one that has definitely touched a nerve with me! Fifa, the world governing organization for soccer, decided 2 weeks before the final round of European qualifying matches for the 2010 World Cup, that the teams that qualified for the playoffs would be seeded! This meant that out of the 8 teams that qualified, 4 would be seeded as higher rankings and not have to play each other (ie
