Here’s another viral video ad. Can you spot the content that’s not likely real?

What do you think of this *new* type of advertising – do you like it?

So Team USA is Out of World Cup 2006…

Maybe this video will cheer you up.

My stepfather, a BIG soccer fan, was saying that most *Americans/Canadians* think that soccer is just a bunch of guys fake falling and faking injuries. I think this video really highlights those suppositions. What do you think?

US vs Czech Republic

The first game’s results are horrible! The US has got to step up to the plate and attack quickly.

The next two games are really going to be an uphill battle for the US. With Italy this Sat and Ghana next week, they’d better learn from their mistakes… and fast!

The World Cup is Here!

Around New York, many bars in niche cultural neighborhoods are exclusively showing their home country’s football games, this time held in Germany.

What a city! To be able to see such a variety of national spirit in such close proximity is excellent.

If you’re new to football, like me, and need some help with the game go here.
For help with lingo that will just get you by, go here.

Along with the games come sponsors. Here’s a good viral video worth watching.
