    It doesn't really have anything to do with how many Kangaroos you have. It has to do with how they are killed. Also has to do with the fact that joeys are killed in a cruel fashion as well. Google it and you'll find all about it.

    Why do Americans always look so deeply into animal cruelty and try to change how people do things? Not saying it's right but they always seem to put their nose into other peoples business.

    That's a pretty ignorant comment... Yes it seems us Americans are at the forefront of stopping animal cruelty, I can assure you we aren't the only ones. And proof of that would be if that's what's happening IN Australia, then I'm pretty sure Australians are the ones pushing the issue to stop it. After all, wasn't Steve Irwin one of the biggest advocates of stopping animal cruelty? In other words, keep ignorant and offensive comments to yourself.

    Secondly it's Nike's as well as Adidas' choice to use what leather they want for their boots. If they want to stop using it because of cruelty, that's their choice not the US' choice. Personally I think it has more to do with price than whatever cruelty is going on. If cruelty was the case, both companies probably wouldn't use any real leather at all anymore.

    I wasn't saying that you are at the forefront of animal cruelty I was saying you're are the forefront of stopping anything really. Just get annoyed with people changing things when they have been that way since forever. Steve Irwin was for conserving animals but what he did was considered cruelty.

    Same with Chris Smalling I've noticed - in fact, besides Rio, none of Man U's defenders have made the switch yet!

    Smalling wore them yesterday. But Fabio...hmm...probably gets injured before he even get to try them on...And then it's only Rafael left who wears them, and he's injured?

    But I noticed Vincent Kompany didn't wear them yesterday either! Something about the defenders not willing to switch yet ;)

    Another dumbass comment. "Just get annoyed with people changing things when they have been that way forever."

    Should we bring back slavery also, since it's "been that way forever?"
    How about women not voting and having them be secondary to man?
    Killing off Native Americans for land?

    Want me to keep going?

    Speaking of changing things, I advocate for a screening process for joining BS Forums.

    Whoops! Yep, you're absolutely right - I hadn't checked the photos from last night.

    I think Nike is expecting players in certain positions to wear certain boots, and the defenders have got the Tiempo at the moment.

    Sounds silly, but when you think about all the other players that have switched form other silos to the Tiempo; Lescott, Sole, Evra, Ramos, Ivanovic. that might have something to do with why so many players aren't switching yet.

    If you're talking about these, then they aren't adiZeros. They are Predator D5.

    Going a bit off topic but slavery is bigger now than it has ever been, in some cases women still cannot vote. The key to taking over land is wiping out it's indigenous population so not saying it was right but I can't see another way around it.

    If there is to be a screening process I hope they check peoples temper because you're in rage mode.

    Not rage at all. Just flabbergasted at how idiotic both your responses are.

    Arshavin, Chamakh and Gervinho all seem to be in black out MV8's in Arsenal training today, also not sure if that is Song or not... kind of looks like him if he had a haircut in Laser IV's.

    Images can be found on Arsenals website.

    On barca´s website, Victor Valdes is wearing some weird boots (last pic of 21.10. training session). Anyone knows what they are?
