Sorry if this thread is redundant, but what did you get soccer related for whatever gift-giving holiday you celebrate?
My brother got me FIFA 2004 for PS2. I got it a week before I went to my future in-laws for X-mas so my thumbs had a week to heal!
My future in-laws do a pull-a-name thing with her fathers side and her uncle gave me a fleece soccer blanket that folds into a pillow (perfect for the fiancee to watch me play and coach!) and some socks (you can never have too many pairs!)
My future father in law gave me the official USA WC 2002 video, can't wait to watch it.
On a related note I got a home theatre system from My dad and step-mom and FIFA 2004 sounds awesome!
Finally my gift to myself for being so generous in my gift-giving...a match issue (extra one on the bench in case of blood or a rip) Del Piero Italy 2002 Kappa jersey!
Happy Holidays everyone and to quote Eddie Murphy "Merry New Year!"

A big middle finger. I'm just glad that I didn't get one of those South American fireworks or rock on the head.

a new Rovers jersey that leaves people wondering what the hell kind of shirt I'm wearing. :)

I didn't get any soccer gear, but I gave my brother-in-law (sister's husband) an Italy home jersey, the new one made by Puma.
It looked so good that *I* want one now!

I am not big on the new one. I don't like the gold and that collar is funky, but then again when I saw the Kappa one at Euro 2000 I thought it looked like a scuba suit and it grew on me!

I think the collar is cool as shiznit.
That's what I really liked about.
As far as the Kappa one, when I wear mine (personalized, with Totti's old number 20) it looks like I grew on it, instead of the other way around. :)
But I have been losing weight. My gut is getting smaller

I've watched the first two discs. Favorite present ever. (Well, close. I also got the Tenacious D Masterworks DVD, so I'm doubly stoked.)

An old Monterrey Rayados jersey (I think it's from the 1998-1999 seasons).

My wife got me this jersey for Christmas, I started droppig hints around Thanksgiving and didn't stop until Christmas eve. IMO, this is the sharpest looking kit, ever!
