Just wish the "Chelsea FC" part was in larger type...

I like this because Chelsea is my favorite team and I'm Chelsea-obsessed. I don't love it because the "Chelsea FC" at the top of the frame is actually pretty small, especially compared to "The Blues" at the bottom of the plate. In any case, I was happy to put it on my new car.

EA comes back and totally reedems itselve! Don't get me wrong, I love, I mean LOVE Winning 11, but this years manager mode is a MINDBLOWING!!! I would've probably added few more features, but it fine like this and what is most important it is PROMISING!! I was tired of scoring from over 35 meters knowing the exact spot the ball was gonna hit. That's history. Pretty hard for playing, guys. Req. some serious practice. Also, the pro move that I love is their website [...] - they simply couldn't go w/out this anymore as there is a million hispanics outthere giving their lives and loosing their nerves for this beautiful game, but lacking the knowledge in English language. What a fair and pro move by EA! Keep it like that guys - I'm already preparing to visit both [...] as well as [...] even though my Spanish is poor.

If there was a 10 stars option I would probably go for 9. I gave five with my eyes closed!'

RECOMMENDED!!!

It's so difficult to find mens big and tall shirts with a pocket and with some kind of emblem, design, etc.  Although the  Carhartt emblem isn't much, but at least there's something.  Would be nice if they'd make something though, with pictures, designs, etc., and with a pocket, other than the little "carhartt" emblem.

It's nice to have soccer sock options. Thank you.

I tend to wear caps backwards and this fits perfectly with some adjustment. However, because I have a slightly large head it looks a bit small worn forwards. I can't blame the design as I had a feeling I would have needed a bigger size but, for how I wear this style of hit it's fits great. Love the design and happy to support my club. Glory glory Man United!

In addition to being a fan of most pro sports, I also happen to volunteer in my local youth soccer league.  I have seen the sport grow and, in a way, start to decline. I say decline because the recreational youth leagues that promote fun over winning are seeing a decrease in registration while the "select" or "club" leagues that focus on individual performance and dreams of college scholarships are gaining in popularity.  No matter the level, soccer still remains a game for children to play more than an adult game to watch. And that is the point of this book-Why is soccer still not a marquee sport in the United States?  What keeps people from embracing and devoting themselves to soccer the way they do the "big three and a half," as baseball, football, basketball and hockey (the 1/2) are referred to by the author?

"Offside" reads like a history textbook. First, the authors outline the history of baseball, football, basketball, and hockey. They point out how nationalism, marketing, and competent, though controversial, management all contributed to the flourishing of those sports in the United States.  I will say it is more interesting reading than exciting reading since only sports "junkies" may enjoy knowing how the MLB, NFL, NBA, and NHL came to be what they are today. Then we get a history of soccer and learn all the factors working for and against its growth in the United States. Finally, we are brought up to modern day when the U.S. hosted the 1994 World Cup and soccer took center stage here. The authors review both the good and bad ideas that had the sport on the brink of rising to perhaps number four.  Alas, we also get an analysis of how that momentum was lost when the American team did not do so well at the 1998 World Cup. The success of the women's game is mentioned but the women's professional league folded shortly after the book was written.

I enjoyed this book kind of like a magazine in a doctor's office; it is a nice time-filler and you may learn something you didn't know before. If you are involved with soccer at any level and enjoy sports history or biographies, you may like this book. Otherwise, think twice before "kicking" back with this one.

I don't want to spoil it for people who may read, so I'll try to beat around the bush.
I would have liked a follow up chapter of "where are they now" and "what happened to the team".  If anybody knows, please email luigib@ragingbull.com.
McGinnis leaves the town with a sour taste in his mouth, nonetheless, it would have brought closure to find out what happened to these people.  Much like if you were ever dumped by someone, life goes on, but you do wonder "what ever happened to such and such"
Beside that, good reading, lots of great stories about Italian life, culture, geography, history.  Good book for soccer fans, great book for a study in small town life and big city problems.
I was disappointed in lack of pictures as well.  Not even a team shot.  I guess with the ending and the accusations, I understand why, but still disappointed.
The writer is very opinionated and inserts himself into the story more often than not.  This is not a fly on the wall recount.
Recommendation:  worth a read, but prepare yourself for some very slanted ideas and some self promotion.  It seems like there was even a better story out there, but it just wasn't captured all the way... maybe 80%

This shirt and a similar shirt I bought fit perfectly. Of course, I've gotten used to what my exact shirt size is, but I've had shirts of lesser quality that were too tight or too long in the sleeves. Not the case here; I'm just very slightly disappointed that there wasn't a button-down collar version of this shirt. WTG, VH.......

I could give it 5 stars but I want to encourage soccer guards companies, especially big ones like Nike, to be inventive and come up with an ankle guard (the black fabric) that is not so hard to get over the foot. The little kids can barely muscle this section over the foot. That aside, I have not seen anyone improve this area so I have bought these before and will buy them again.

I love everything about these players except for 2 things. My most major complaint is that they're just way too small. And this player is SMALL! Big on performance but I would like to see them physically larger. They used to be. Several years ago. Now they are about a third of the size they used to be. I also use the FM record feature a lot to record 3 day seminars I go to. I would like to be able to record the FM to the memory card. Not the internal memory of this player. Even with 8 GB, I can't always record the 3 day program without having to have a PC with me to move the data to open up memory space. For me, a 16GB OR higher player would be nice or allow recording to the memory card.

This is a nice shirt, but I wish they had more colors. The two colors offered here aren't that appealing... I'm usually an XL or XXL; this was a little small compared to other XXL shirts so I would make sure to order the next larger size if you are in between sizes. Overall, a good shirt, good message and good price!

Great year end Chelsea FC summary, but... disappointed that the preseason was not included this year.  Each year these summary DVDs loose more and more of what made them so great 5 years ago... player commentary, league context.

Buyers should also beware, this is a PAL format disc, not NTSC.  You will need a DVD player that can play a PAL disc!

How I wish our playing was as consistent and stylish as our jerseys. We would be invincible. Oh sigh There's always next season's summer transfer window to breath new hope to our upcoming campaign. Hence, our legitimate concerns regarding what our frugal Frenchman will do in said window. Fortunately, we do have one certainty, looking like a boss winner in this classic long sleeve, grandfather collar Arsenal home jersey with sublime red accents running tastefully down the sleeves like one of Ozil's scrumptious passes. "World class striker to finish Ozil's pass into 3 very valuable possible table topping points... Anyone? Anyone!? We're still mathematically alive to win the league with 8 games remaining and one game in hand over The Foxes. Not a religious fellow, I'm starting to reconsider. Can we? Will we? GO ON YOU GOONERS!!!!!!!!!!

It's my hubby's fave team. It would be nicer if it were firmer and had some  "definition", i.e. to place cans/bottles in.
