      And France now risk embarrassment should they fail to defend their trophy against Lionel Messi.
      Didier Deschamps’ men are looking to become the first side to win two successive World Cups since Brazil in 1962.
      France’s victory in Russia over four years ago was their second triumph in the competition, having broken their duck on home soil in 1998.
      But kit sponsors Nike appear confident that Kylian Mbappe and Co are on course for a third triumph.

      That’s because they released a new commemorative France shirt on their website, with the description reading: “FFF (French Football Federation) three stars 2022/23 stadium residence.”
      The hilarious blunder suggests that France have already beaten Argentina, despite the sides not meeting until tomorrow.
      Interestingly, the shirt shown as the product only revealed two stars above the French crest.
      And Nike swiftly took down the “three-star” description after it was spotted by eagle-eyed fans.

      The blunder could now backfire badly for France, with Argentina’s passionate players sure to be fired up by it.
      There’s already not much to choose between the two sides, with Messi and Mbappe rated as two of the world’s top footballers.
      And like France, Argentina are also looking for their third World Cup win, having triumphed in 1978 and 1986.
      Some French fans believe the final is now already decided in Argentina’s favour due to Nike’s error.
      One said: “It’s bad luck to the bottom. For sure we will lose this final.”
      Another declared: “It will bring bad luck. Already I don’t see them winning.”
      One noted: “They will manage to jinx us.”
      Another added: “They don’t learn the lesson, huh…” More

      Watch Cristiano Ronaldo star alongside Brazil legends Ronaldo and Ronaldinho in Nike’s incredible World Cup 2022 advert

      by

      NIKE have launched their World Cup 2022 advert starring some of football’s biggest names both past and present. In keeping with many of Nike’s previous football advertisements, they recruited a star-studded lineup to help build hype for football’s biggest competition.

      Put loosely, the plot of the advert, which runs for well over four minutes, revolves around a debate between scientists on who is a better player between Ronaldinho and Kylian Mbappe.
      They then activate a time machine to bring together players from the past and present to face off with one another.
      Chaos then descends as more and more players are brought into the “Footballverse”, giving Nike its own unique take on the multi-verse genre that has become popular in cinema in recent years.
      Among the big names involved are legends of the past such as Ronaldinho, Ronaldo and Edgar Davids.

      But it’s far from undersaturated with modern names too.
      Cristiano Ronaldo – who has been making all the headlines this week – lines up alongside the likes of Mbappe, Virgil van Dijk and Kevin de Bruyne.
      Phil Foden even gets a hilarious cameo roughly halfway through the video. There are big names from Women’s football too, including Leah Williamson, Alex Morgan, Carli Lloyd and Sam Kerr.

      Nike even blends fictional characters with their real-life pros, with the short-but-sweet cameo of Gouenji Shuuya from Japanese animation series INAZUMA ELEVEN.
      The advert ends by teasing football’s next generation, with Cristiano Ronaldo Jr and Shane Kluivert both making appearances throughout the video.
      It’s a Nike advert that’s likely to go down among their very best alongside classics such as “Winner Stays On”, “The Last Game” and “The Cage”.

      by

      WITH the World Cup just around the corner, can you identify these classic international football shirts which have stood the test of time?Take our brain teaser quiz to see if you can recognise your favourite kits from around the world, featuring the likes of Brazil, Germany and England who are all taking part in this year’s tournament.

      Argentina’s 1986 World Cup strip, as worn by Diego Maradona, has been voted the greatest international football shirt by 2,000 footie fansCredit: Getty
      It comes as research of 2,000 football fans revealed the greatest international football shirt of all time as Argentina’s 1986 World Cup blue and white striped home jersey worn by Diego Maradona during the infamous ‘hand of God’ tournament.
      England’s World Cup winning Umbro 1966 red strip came second, followed by the 1970 Brazil home top made by Athleta International and notably worn by Pelé when leading his country to victory.
      Belgium’s Adidas home shirt from 1984 and England’s once maligned Admiral home jersey from 1982 are fondly remembered too.
      A spokesman for CopyBet, which commissioned the research and developed the quiz, said: “Football fans remember kits with great sentiment and affection, and we wanted to celebrate that ahead of the World Cup by uncovering the best international kits of all time.

      “Despite a difficult relationship between England fans and the victorious 1986 Argentina team, the legendary performances of Diego Maradona mean this particular kit is still held in the highest regard as an icon of the game, as is England’s 1966 away shirt which saw them clinch the trophy all those years ago.
      “These shirts carry so much history and what a way to reflect their linage ahead of the next tournament which is just around the corner.”
      England’s blue third strip from 1990 produced by Umbro and Cameroon’s Puma sleeveless strip from 2002 – which was eventually banned by FIFA – also proved popular.
      Other noteworthy tops include Nigeria’s 2018 Nike home shirt – much sought after its release, Wales’ retro-inspired 2006 Kappa red top, and Jamaica’s 2021 Umbro away shirt.

      While the Argentina 1986 shirt was selected as the single greatest in international history, research found Brazil has the most iconic kits throughout the years, followed by England and Argentina.
      And Cameroon and Colombia also tend to ‘get it right’ when it comes to their football attire.
      The study also identified what makes a strip ‘iconic’ – with colour combinations (18 per cent), historical significance (16 per cent), and keeping with tradition (16 per cent) the top considerations.
      TOP 10 GREATEST INTERNATIONAL SHIRTS OF ALL TIME
      1.            Argentina, home, 1986, Le Coq Sportif
      2.            England, away, 1966, Umbro
      3.            Brazil, home, 1970, Athleta International
      4.            Belgium, home, 1984, Adidas
      5.            England, home, 1982, Admiral
      6.            England, home, 1990, Umbro
      7.            England, third, 1990, Umbro
      8.            Wales, home, 2006, Kappa
      9.            Nigeria, home, 2018, Nike
      10.          Cameroon, home, 2002, Puma

      Four in 10 adults polled consider replica tops to be fashion items – with 1990s shirts deemed the most stylish, followed by those released in the 1980s.
      Despite this, 48 per cent of footy fans believe current shirts are as good now as ever before – suggesting tops from the 2020s might be coveted in the future.
      TOP 5 COUNTRIES WITH THE MOST ICONIC FOOTBALL SHIRT
      1.            Brazil
      2.            England
      3.            Argentina
      4.            Cameroon
      5.            Columbia

      More than a third (35 per cent) who own a World Cup shirt from the past said they’d like to own even more – with 43 per cent having a specific top they’re especially keen to get their hands on.
      And they’re so set on owning such a strip they’d be willing to spend an average of £140 on it – with 10 per cent content to spend £400 or more, illustrating the demand for vintage shirts from down the years as a fashion item.
      But whether fans of the two home nations taking part in this year’s World Cup – Wales and England – will want to spend this much on their side’s latest efforts remains to be seen.
      TOP 10 GREATEST ENGLAND SHIRTS OF ALL TIME
      1.            England, away, 1966
      2.            England, away, 1990-92
      3.            England, home, 2022
      4.            England, away, 2020-22
      5.            England, away, 2022
      6.            England, away, 2007-09
      7.            England, home, 1980-83
      8.            England, third, 1990-92
      9.            England, away, 1995-97
      10.          England, home, 1997-99

      On a scale of one to 10 – with 10 being great – the Nike 2022 England home shirt scored an average of 5.91, while the Adidas Wales strip scored 6.03 among those polled.
      And with 48 per cent of the opinion the shirt a team wears can impact performances on the pitch – for better or worse – both Wales and England might have a fairly mediocre tournament in-store.
      Carried out through OnePoll, the study revealed of the 36 per cent of non-England fans who intend on buying a replica shirt for this year, 21 per cent are looking to buying a replica of Brazil kit, while 18 per cent are considering a USA and Germany top respectively.
      Fans of the Three Lions also voted on their favourite ever England top with the 1966 World Cup red strip securing first place ahead of the Italia 1990 away kit.

      A spokesperson for CopyBet, added: “Football shirts have become an important part of the sport, especially when it comes to the World Cup.
      “With an increase to 48 countries in the 2026 World Cup, there will be even more shirts to enjoy, with this survey highlighting the fun and excitement fans get from owning and wearing the best international shirts on offer.”

      Fans all say the same thing as Canada star Jonathan David covers Nike logo to celebrate goal in World Cup warm-up win

      by

      JONATHAN DAVID covered the Nike logo on his shirt after he scored for Canada, and it has left fans all saying the same thing.Lille striker David scored his nations second goal in their World Cup warm-up game against Qatar and followed it up by covering the Nike logo on his shirt after scoring.

      David then proceeded to cover the kit in a likely dig at Nike for not giving Canada a new World Cup kitCredit: One Soccer
      This cover up comes after Nike refused to provide Canada with a new kit for the World Cup.
      The upcoming tournament in Qatar will be just their second ever World Cup finals, with their last appearance coming in 1986.
      Canada are set to be the only nation not to enter the tournament with a brand new kit, with their qualifying strip the one they will use when they fly over to Qatar.
      The bizarre situation caused an outcry against Nike, with many critical at the decision not produce a new kit.

      One user called for protest, and said: “what’s up with this nonsense? Like we haven’t waited long enough? Vs Iran, Panama walk off, uniform silent protest during the biggest friendly prep…..ever!”
      A second user said: “Well done. We stand on principle,” while a third added: “Savage but justified. Come on @nikefootball @Nike. WTH!!!”
      Others were left disappointed but confused with the call, with one user asking: “Uhmmm… Why? New world cup kits are always a big deal. This would be majorly disappointing.”
      Another user remarked: “What!? This seems…counter to what usually occurs, no?”

      Another fan hypothesised a reason behind the lack of a new kit: “It feels like they didn’t start the process which takes about a year to create a new jersey and put to market.
      “My guess soccer Canada had no faith in our boys and didn’t bother.”
      Such an idea would be a bitter pill to swallow for The Reds, and considering kit creation processes usually take an estimated 18 months it would be fair to assume they ran out of time given Canada only officially qualified in March of this year.
      Nike and Canada signed their last kit sponsor deal in 2018, when the team were ranked 78th in Fifa standings.
      However, they now rank number 33 in the world.

      In a related statement, Nike previously said: “Canada Soccer is on a different kit development cycle.”

      England’s new World Cup kit accidentally leaked by Nike without FA knowing… but fans aren’t keen on ‘horrible’ design

      by

      ENGLAND fans have been left fuming after Nike leaked England’s new kit for the World Cup, without the FA’s knowledge. Ahead of Gareth Southagte’s England squad announcement, Nike unveiled the new England home and away kits online, with the FA in the dark as to this happening up until the moment they went online.

      The new home kit pays homage to the 1996 jersey, combining The Three Lions traditional white with a sky blue and navy shoulder pattern.
      These colours are also repeated on the shorts and socks of the full kit, though fans were far from pleased with them.
      One fan wrote on Twitter: “If that’s England’s new home kit… Nike football need 2 hold there heads in shame!! It’s woeful.”
      A second user added: “New England home kit looking like a sports direct special.”

      Another user commented: “Shocking, never been a fan of England using blue – our kit should only be using red & white (our flag).”
      The announcement post revealed 13 new kits from the various nations Nike manufacture kits for, including World Cup holders France, Netherlands, and Portugal.

      However, these kits were also met with dismay, with one user lambstaing the designs and commenting: “I think every national team deserves an apology.”
      Despite the fierce criticism the other kits – particularly England’s home kit – received, the all red away kit has earned praise.

      One user said: “How can you create an awful home shirt and yet one of the most beautiful away ones at the same time?
      “This red 1990s inspired kit is a belter of a shirt for England in the next World Cup in Qatar.”
      While another, clearly with their hopes up, added: “When Kane lifts the trophy it better be in the red kit not that other monstrosity.”

      England’s home and away kits for World Cup ‘leaked online’ – with historic nod to iconic shirts from past

      by

      ENGLAND’S home and away kits for the World Cup in Qatar have been leaked online.The alleged Nike efforts look set to be worn when Gareth Southgate takes his side to the Middle East in November.
      England’s alleged new home shirt featured a navy blue to light blue gradient
      The supposed away shirt feels like something straight out of the 1990s
      Both shirts evoke memories of Three Lions kits of yesteryear.
      Manufacturers Nike appear to have decided to give the strips a retro, 1990s feel.
      The home shirt, as revealed by Footy Headlines, features a navy blue to light blue gradient design on the sleeves.
      Its trim will likely spark fans’ memories of England kits during the second half of the 1990s.

      The away shirt, meanwhile, features a collar reminiscent of that used by Umbro in England’s 1992 away shirt.
      It is an otherwise minimalistic red shirt featuring the Nike swoosh and of course the Three Lions.
      The designs have drawn mixed responses, with fans generally preferring the away strip to the home one.
      A social media user wrote: “Should just play in the away shirt as that home shirt is bloody awful.”

      Erling Haaland at centre of three-way boot sponsorship deal between Nike, Adidas and Puma – wearing each in recent weeks

      by

      THREE of football’s biggest boot manufacturers are battling to have Erling Haaland lacing up their shoes when he runs out onto the pitch. The 21-year-old strike sensation has worn pairs made by Nike, Adidas and Puma since signing for Manchester City this summer.

      Haaland has been with Nike since he was a teenager after the sportswear giants snapped him up when he was just 14-years-old playing in his native Norway.
      But his contract with them expired earlier this year, and he is yet to pen a new sponsorship deal.
      While Nike are keen to pin him down to fresh terms, fellow sportswear brands Puma and Adidas are also after his signature, according to The Athletic.
      And Haaland has worn boots made by all three manufacturers in recent weeks.

      The £51.4million arrival donned a sleek pair of all-black club-branded Puma boots for his official City unveiling in June.
      But then Haaland switched to an Adidas pair for City’s pre-season win over Bayern Munich in Green Bay and the Community Shield defeat to Liverpool.
      Meanwhile for both Premier League games so far this campaign Haaland has reverted back to sporting Nike boots.
      The fact his Nike deal expired earlier this year means he is currently free to wear whatever he likes on his feet.

      He scored one goal in two games with Adidas leather on, compared with two in two while wearing Nike.
      Usually there is a six-month matching rights period when deals expire, which allows a player’s previous sponsor to match any new offers from brands within six months of their deal ending.
      And landing one of the world’s most well-known players would be a huge coup for whoever manages to sign Haaland.
      Nike’s most notable names in football are Cristiano Ronaldo and Kylian Mbappe, while Adidas boast both Lionel Messi and Mo Salah in their ranks.
      Puma meanwhile are represented by Neymar and Antoine Griezmann.
      But with Haaland expected to be one of the player’s who takes over the mantle when Ronaldo and Messi retire, landing the City star would be a major coup.
      Sports Industry expert Michele Rinchiuso said: “It is critically important to have the best of the best, and the coolness factor for brands is very important.
      “If the brand doesn’t have athletes that resonate with the market and can influence a generation, then you can invest as much money into them as you want to, but nobody is going to buy the product.

      “Everyone knows Nike have Mbappe long term and the next big thing is Haaland.
      “If you look at it from a superstar level, the only one available on the market with the potential of being a Ronaldo or Messi for the next 10 years is Haaland.” More

      He was granted additional time off from pre-season due to a family issue and is absent from the club’s current tour of the Far East and Australia.
      Ronaldo has been linked with a move to Premier League rivals Chelsea, while an unnamed Saudi club are said to have offered United £25million and Ron £2MILLION A WEEK.
      Bayern Munich and PSG also claim they won’t pursue international football’s record scorer, who has netted 117 goals in 189 games for Portugal.
      While speculation over his future rumbles on, the star still seems to be keeping in incredible physical condition after he broke his silence earlier by posting a rippling picture of himself working out while wearing just a pair of last season’s United training shorts.
