Pete Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 The soccer fans among us (especially those of us that would love to play for Arsenal) may get a kick out this Nike English Football commercial that someone sent me: Nike Ad That is a great commerical! I abhor Nike but they do market themselves well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exiled, i'm a Red Sox fan since 1988 and the Sox was one of the most popular teams in baseball even when they were losing year after year I respect the very rare Chelsea fans who were fans of the Blues ten years ago but that must represent about 10% of the current mass of Blues "fans" in the world ...

For me, Arsenal is the team I respect the most in England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olivier in france Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Obviously when a team makes more money Who makes money? Chelsea's owner makes a lot... Chelsea FC? the way they handle their players and coaches (overpaying and "overfiring") I doubt they make a penny... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Abramovich came in, they got a sudden inflow of funds to better market the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cugalabanza Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 For me, Arsenal is the team I respect the most in England. I can't help rooting for Fulham. They have a bunch of U.S. players that I know from the national team (Keller, Bocanegra, Dempsey, McBride, Johnson). With two games left, they have a faint chance of avoiding relegation. Incredible comeback last weekend against Man City. Three second half goals including one in extra time to win 3-2 to (barely) keep their hopes alive.
