Charcoal Nike Mercurial Vapor's

Cristiano Ronaldo is one of a dozen European stars who have wore the new coveted version of the Nike Mercurial Vapor IV, Citron. Only several weeks after the release of the Berry cleats, the Citron has been the focus of International soccer cleat attention, with Ronaldo scoring in the FIFA Club World Cup and AC Milan's Pato scoring to ease the teams access to the last 16. Gabriel Agbonlahor has also made his mark for an England starting spot in recent weeks, scoring in last weekends win wearing the Citron's.

So, lets put the crazy colors (Berry and Citron) aside and talk about Nike's classic style release, the Nike Mercurial Vapor IV FG - Charcoal/Red. Actually, this cleat has been available in the US for a while, and is currently heavily desired in the UK where it won't be available until February. I have to be honest, I was not a fan of Nike's very colorful releases, but they have been extremely popular. It seems that Nike has benifited from an extremely well-marketed campaign, as the cleats have sold huge numbers and appear to have increased their stake in the soccer cleat realm.

Made in Italy and weighing a mere 8.1oz, the mercurial vapor IV are built for increased acceleration in and out of quick turns. Direct-injected heel studs impact weight reduction.

Citron flavored Nike Mercurial Vapor IV

Nike have released the latest color in their Mercurial Vapor IV collection. After having huge success with the Berry color, the new Citron color is sure to also be very popular. Looking like a neon green, the Citrus was given its debut by Pato of AC Milan in the Serie A. Last weekend, the Brazilian helped create the winning goal in AC's 1-0 win. The cleat was debut in the Champions League by none other than the Pink Panther, Franck Ribery of Bayern Munich. Although that title needs some tweaking now!

Ribery, who became center of attention with the Mercurial Vapor Berry, has been playing very well of late and that included a goal during the week in Bayern's 3-2 victory over Lyon. Inter Milan also had two players wearing the Citron Vapor in Adrianno and Swedish international Ibrahimovich.

Also during the week, Ballon D'or winner Cristiano Ronaldo wore the Citron's during practice, drawing a huge amount of attention. In this weekends game vs Tottenham, the Portugese winger wore the cleats, bringing out his usual array of tricks and step overs.

Soccer goals and Equipment
I grew up in Ireland having my own back garden and a set of goal posts my Dad put together by cutting some pieces of Iron and welding them together! He then cemented them into the ground. With some brand new shiny white nets, they were the best gift ever!! No more encouragement needed, I was out there everyday playing, and personally I think that played a major role in me making it as a professional player. But now its even easier to get goals and nets. For a comparison of the best prices and places to buy just check out Shopzilla. If you have the backyard space, encourage your son or daughter to play!
Soccer BallsI had a fixation with soccer balls growing up, the more I had the better! It was probably because I hated kicking the ball wide and having to chase it to the end of the garden. A lot of people think that a ball is a ball. But that is the wrong attitude. Even when training, it is best to have a quality ball. A major problem with soccer balls is warping, and this occurs with frequently with most of the cheaper brands. From my experience let me recommend some balls.
Adidas TGII MLS Competition Ball This is one of the better balls on the market. It holds true shape and is used in the MLS. It is light and lasts. Nike T90 Strike EPL This is one of the best practice balls made by Nike, at it is a good price at only $20. It is a replica ball of that used in the English Premiership so it is good quality. Nike T90 Club Team Ball At a modest $10.99 this is probably one of the best balls for price balls out there. At a recent charity event, we gave these balls out to aspiring soccer players, and I got to keep one myself. PUMA Italia v1.08 A quality ball from Puma that is known for its quality. A popular ball used for practice by teams in the Italian Serie A, the ball has reputation for 'turning' in the air with hard shots!
