wrap or sock around ronaldo and beckham's legs

[alco_soccerstar]

No, my YMCA has our area's indoor games. It's the exact same setup as what the Baltimore Blast play on. Hockey rink with turf. I'm about 2-3 hours away from the Soccerplex.

Here is a video where you can see Ronaldo's socks very good:

Apparently Maniche does the same thing?

[Case]

Is that a real international dressing room? Seems pretty sparse without any cupboards etc ud expect in a top level locker room!

[appleCORR7]

Those changing rooms were pretty unimpressive. He doesn't seem to be wearing any white sports sock there with his socks. Maybe he was playing somewhere hot or something?

I loved Ricardo skidding out the change rooms!

I'm pretty sure thats the dressing room in the friendly against Cape Verde so the it's not gonna be very impressive.

btw it doesn't look like Ronaldo is doing the tube sock thing in that video, and Maniches socks look wierd, like its a strap that goes around his foot so he doesnt have to tape it. (never seen that for a NT sock)

[teamryan]

In the world cup Ronaldo did not do the tube sock technique in most of the games. Maniches is not doing anything...I Dont know about adidas but Nike real professional team kits are given a special sock with a material thats different from the rest of the sock for the foot part. This is why maniches sock looks white near the foot part. There not the regular nike socks you buy at the store you have to have special connectioins to get them. Heres a picture of Ronaldo doing the tube socks with some nike socks that did not have the special material at the foot.

You can see his nike tube sock which is pretty long that behind his green sock.
Another example of the sock maniche and Ronaldo are wearing in the world cup is USMNT blue socks have it also.

As you can see the greyish white part near their cleat they also have the special material. I do not know where to get these socks besides ebay or asking a player personaly.

i have no idea what ronaldo did in that vid but what he generally does is where a normal football sock with the foot part cut off then wear a tube sock (which is just a white sports sock) over it then just tape the two together

[ryz19]

Like the guy said above they are just wearing pro issued socks that have a different material on the foot than your average soccer sock you buy at the store.
