A little challenge on the pitch anyone? That’s quite a kick on a wet field Franck. Sort of reminds me of that little game MJ and Bird had going for the Big Mac back from the 90’s just without all the outlandish formalities.

I’m sure most of you are aware that tonight is the night for Steve Nash’s ultimate pickup up game in NY’s Chinatown. Featuring cats like Thierry Henry (how huge is that) ,as well as Dallas Mavericks guard Jason Kidd, former Liverpool stars Steve McManaman and Robbie Fowler; and the N.B.A. players Leandro Barbosa, Raja Bell, Baron Davis and David Lee. This will benefit Nash’s charity as well as that of Claudio Reyna. The match will be 8-on-8 and will kickoff at 5:30 p.m. on the Nike field at the Sara D. Roosevelt Park on Chrystie Street and admission is free. If you are in the NY area, you have to make it out to this one. If you do, get some pictures and send them and we might just have a little giveaway for you.

For those of us who have to work during the day, it can be difficult to make it out to the park for that pickup game before it gets too dark. This inevitably leads to long stretches where the only way you get to play soccer is on your PS3 or XBox. Well Nike has gone ahead and changed this. Along with designer Pierre Haulot, Nike has created the Virtual pack which is a glow in the dark spray paint that can be used to create goals, sidelines, a glowing ball, etc. The paint disappears after two hours, so you have plenty of time to get your  game on. This is going to make night soccer a whole lot more interesting. If anyone picks up this pack and puts it to use send us some pics.
