I used to collect soccer shirts when I was younger and I kept some of them.  Today I tried this 1982 France vintage jersey on and it still fits, after 28 years!

New jersey of Peru's national soccer team, made by British brand UMBRO.  Very classy, minimalist and elegant, with a retro look.  The phrase "Tailored by Umbro" associates the shirt with the tradition of quality and workmanship of English tailors.  I was able to put my name and number on this picture using an interactive application in Umbro's website, designed to generate viral traffic and buzz for the brand and for Peru's national team.

Soccer, or futbol, one of the most important components of Brand Argentina.

I'm a frequent visitor to Raleigh, NC, and on one of my lasts visits I stumbled upon WakeMed Soccer Field, a little gem of a soccer stadium, that is home to the Carolina Railhawks, a USSF D-2 team that reached the finals this year.  I haven't yet seen the Railhawks play but I'll make it a point to go watch one of their games in the 2011 season.
