Day 9 of the World Cup treated us to a fiesta of goals and three absolutely cracking matches. From Italy and Costa Rica in the opener right through to Ecuador and Honduras in today’s finale. There’s quite a few pairs to cover in today’s edition of the World Cup Boot Recap, so …

This World Cup is lining up to be one of the more exciting tournaments that I have witnessed. With the defending champions, Spain, already out, another force is facing elimination already on Day 8. England played to a 2-1 loss against Uruguay and will officially be eliminated if Costa Rica …

For the first time this world cup we were treated to a couple of elimination games even before the group stage was completed. If you had told any serious fan that Spain would be the first team eliminated in 2014, they surely would have replied with “no es posible” or …

It’s almost hard to believe we’re at Day 6 of the World Cup. We’ve been treated to some outstanding performances (US readers know what I’m talking about, hopefully you all woke up safely this morning after your party last night) and some incredible goals thus far. If you were lucky …

Group G is the main headliner today, and also a showing of the underdogs of the top heavy Group F. While the only group F match resulted in no goals, the other two games tallied at 7. Both matches proved to be very entertaining as there was no shortage of …

Can you believe we are already through 4 game days of World Cup action already? It is officially going too fast, probably because of the goal fest we have been treated to. Already there have been a whopping 37 goals scored in 11 games, for an average of 3.3 per game. …

Here we are, three days complete, and only three heart attacks for those trying to correctly predict every scoreline. The main storyline of the day saw the under appreciated Costa Rican “los ticos” take out a Suarez-less Uruguayan squad. The Lotto sponsored squad pulled off what is surely the shock …

Wow, what a day! We have officially concluded Day 2 of the biggest tournament in the World, and boy has it been a good one so far. Three games were played on what seemed to be a rainy day in Brazil, and many boots were on show. In fact, it …

Good evening (unless you’re reading this Monday morning, in which case, Good Morning put the kettle on would ya) and welcome to the first edition of the World Cup Boot Recap. Your one stop shop for the skinny on what boot is making a splash at in the humid climes …

With the days ticking down until the first kick in Brazil, Jurgen Klinsmann released his final 23-man roster. There are some big story lines (many filled with controversy) surrounding the roster. Obviously, the big one is the USA’s most decorated player Landon Donovan being left off the roster. What adds to …

This one’s a bit more tuned to our readers back in my motherland. However, if you support the England National Team there is the potential for some interesting times this summer in Brazil. Manager Roy Hodgson has named a youthful looking England squad for the upcoming World Cup, which pits England in …

In order to create a true lightweight boot, most brands have quickly acclimatized to using synthetic materials in the upper. In many cases, they also open up the floor and accompany their releases with a leather upper option also.  In Puma’s case, they have taken the 7oz evoSPEED 1.2 and added …

With El Clásico coming up this weekend, a big tip of the cap to the folks over at Soloporteros for the above image profiling the boots of El Clásico, which will occur on Sunday at the Bernabéu. Personally I’d love to see more images profiling who’ll be wearing what in the big matches, and …
