Just in time for Ted Lasso Season 3 — here's how you can get the new AFC Richmond jersey

Oh! What a coincidence! The same day Ted Lasso Season 3 premieres on Apple TV Plus, the new jersey of AFC Richmond is hitting the stores. 

Talk about timing. 

And while I cannot tell you much about the show's first episode — because I haven't seen it and I have to wait for my wife to avoid a TV-cheating scene (editor's note: we have an episode review here) — I can talk to you about the shirt and how you can get it.

Attention soccer purists: Get your kangaroo leather cleats while you still can

Nike announced on Monday that it will no longer produce kangaroo leather products, including its famous soccer cleats. For collectors and enthusiasts alike, the news is a real wake-up call.

Phil Foden recreates Ronaldinho’s ‘Golden Shoes’ in ad for the new Nike Air Max 95

The first video in YouTube history to hit 1 million views was Ronaldinho’s “Golden Shoes” Nike advertisement. Back in the days when JogaTV ruled YouTube, a video featuring Eric Cantona and Ronaldinho broke the internet.

Fans, and 7-year-old me at the time, sat in disbelief as Ronaldinho would juggle a ball, shoot it off the crossbar multiple times and keep juggling all while it never touched the ground. I was too young to understand what special effects were, so I thought for the longest time that the video was real.

From Canada to the top: Here is our World Cup jersey ranking

With all the World Cup jerseys finally out in the wild, it's time to create a ranking with the best and worst-dressed teams in the tournament. 

In general terms, there is consensus on naming adidas as the brand with the best designs for the event, while Nike and Puma didn't seem to have tuned in with the fans' wishes. 

I'll be honest, some collections have grown on me since their launching – France and England, to name two – but others are not moving the needle. 

Sorry, USMNT.

Nike's World Cup commercial is an instant classic

The Nike World Cup commercial 2022 is an instant classic. The full version — clocking nearly four and a half minutes — has it all: past and present versions of Cristiano Ronaldo hitting the "SIU!" together, multiple past versions of "O Fenômeno" Ronaldo getting after it, Kylian Mbappé introducing 2006 Ronaldinho to the low wall, Alex Morgan sipping tea, Edgar Davids just being Edgar Davids and so much more.

The film is part of Nike FC's Footballverse, which has its own snazzy website to explore.
