Neymar Jr.: Hypervenom Liquid Diamond Unboxing


According to Max Blau, vice president of Nike Football Footwear, there's a really good reason to combine diamonds with water:
We take inspiration from Neymar Jr.’s play and personality. He attacks the defence with a style so fluid, it reminded us of water flowing between rocks. That’s when we started shifting our thoughts from incorporating a nod to diamonds, to creating a liquid diamond aesthetic for the entire upper.

Old Scool Robben.

Watch the goal here;http://t.co/5KZ90uYQJJ
Robben, who turned 31, scored his second goal in the most predictable fashion – cutting in from the right while skipping past two defenders and then eventually launching a powerful, well-placed shot from just 20-yards-out. A routine that he is known for, but clearly no one has an answer for that.

Race for Ballon d'or 2015 so far.


Happy Birthday Xavi Hernandez

El Maestro turns 35 today.
