It’s amazing what you can find in Amazon these days. Were you looking for the kind of gift that will impress the die-hard soccer fan? Go no further than the new sports memorial store at Amazon where they’re selling tons of autographed and rare equipment. So far they’re a little light in the soccer area but I have a feeling that will change. If you’ve got some extra money or need a gift for a hard to impress person, have a look.

Lionel Messi Signed Adidas Soccer Cleat

To celebrate MLS signing Robbie Keane, I thought it was approprate to feature something Irish.  This Ireland Soccer Hoodie by Umbro is pretty sweet with pocket in the front.  It’s got just enough green to be Irish yet you can wear it during winter and not look like you’re really looking forward to St. Patrick’s day.  100% cotton.  Only $65 which isn’t bad for a hoodie at all.

I think Barcelona proved they are the best team on the planet.  Now you can go out and brag about it.  The shirt is on sale at Soccer.com.

Personally, I tried to watch the game but didn’t have much luck. Aso you can see from this video, we were too busy cheesing off the local Fox 9 news anchor for interrupting the entire 2nd half of the game with weather alerts.  We tried to watch Barcelona win, we really did.  But even on a giant tv screen, it was hard to watch the game with 100 of my closest friends in the bar.
