 |
|
It's come time to get a couple of new football shirts to have a run and wear down the street. Ask me a few weeks ago if I'd shell out @10Kyen for a Australian jersey and I'd pass but given that we gave a damn good showing I think I'll give the nice people at Nike my hard earned cash. I decided to also get the strip of the ultimate winners (bit of a wenk I know but the best i could think of) Anyhow so who do you'll think is going to get the Cup based on who wins in the semis
Portugal v France
Germany v Italy
Champions? |

Portugal v France - France
Germany v Italy - Germans
Champions? I said back in May that the Germans would take it at home and they've been pretty consistant with an attacking style that is more brutal than pretty.
Still France are on a bit of a roll, they'll be hard to beat. |

| The Krauts. They are looking steady and the French will fold under pressure. |

This is the England strip from this World Cup.
I wear football strips all the time in the street by the way!! I have 3 England, 1 Australia, 1 Italy, 1 Netherlands and I recently bought a Japan one because I like how it looks.
They are comfortable and stylish! I am a football kit enthusiast I guess, if I see one for a bargain or second hand, or if its new and I have the cash,I usually buy it. |

I have one of
these: (but mine doesn't look anything like any of the shirts on there -mine is just like their actual jerseys they wear to play)
from when we lived in Beijing.
I use it to work out (much more comfortable than a grody t-shirt). Are people going to look at me funny in that in Japan or should I get a new one?
I can't wear it here (v. large Chinese community) without comments. They are always baffled at the sight of a white girl in that. Generally v. positive, however. |

Yeah same thing. Is that grey or black they are matching with the orange?
Black is OK but lessons should be learned from the hideous Chelsea "Graphite & Tangerine" monstrocity.

It's black! I agree about the grey/orange combination being ugly.
That's a Cincinnati Bengals jersey, they get a lot of flack about having ugly jerseys but I like them.  Plus I don't get all the criticism when these exist in the same league....
As far as soccer jerseys go, I think West Ham's jerseys are an awkward mix of colors. But I think I like them haha. |
