According to Nike football doesn't exist in Africa

For some reason today I visited kickoff.com. Nike has a massive banner advert across the top of the site.I found myself intrigued for some reason with this advert so I clicked on it. It took me to the nikefootball.com website.The strangest thing happened. I think the website broke as soon as I landed on the page because there is no Africa option on the site. They ask you to select a region and a language but sadly there is no way to choose Africa.Does Nike think that we don't have Internet down here in deep dark Africa? Do they think that we don't know what football is (or soccer) in Africa, can't afford an actual ball or did they not notice that little thing called the World Cup in 2010?This sort of junk really gets under my skin because it's not like we are some obscure little country in the world, THEY LEFT OUT AFRICA. In case you were wondering and didn't know this, Africa is actually an entire continent that is bigger than freakin' Europe (I think). How do you leave out an entire continent that is hosting it's first FOOTBALL WORLD CUP in 2010?Ridiculous and it pisses me off.

Vote for the 2010 World Cup poster

It seems as though that term "crowd sourcing" is going viral and going mainstream.Bizcommunity reports today (and I heard it on the radio last week) that voting for the 2010 World Cup poster is open.What a rocking and brilliant idea. You get a choice, they get a design that the masses want and like and the public takes ownership of the event. Fantastic.And here they are:I am personally voting for the center option (I think I can tell you, this isn't politics!). I am interested to know what you all think. I would also like to know what Mr Cherry, the Jo's and Ideate might say to all this.I like all the options and was particularly drawn to the pregnant soccer belly on the right. But I feel as if that is a bit too deep and meaningful and somewhat serious. I am looking for fun in a poster, something that draws you in, lets you look around (briefly) and spits you out with a message at the end.What do you think?

Ronaldinho: Touch Of God

Holy shit (pun intended) this dude is phenomenal. Watch the movie below and tell me something: Is this movie real? Could it have been doctored?This video has been viewed something like 13,000,000 times with over 7000 comments on it. Incredible, but is it real?
