Huge USA billboard

Hey that a very cool...I hope the federation get more imaginative and promote the sport in a better fashion....

 

I've seen the billboard you mentioned and it was definitely NOT paid for by the USSF. Nike, my friends, are the sponsers of said advert.

 

anyone got a photo?

 

fifa does:

and to Nike I'd say that of course the world doesn't want to play us, especially if we insist on using that crazy half gold Joga Bonita ball.

the official ball is from adidas, and I'm sure the world will be happy to play us if we agree to play with that new thing (like MLS is doing).

 

Much thanks to Nike. that's a cool ad.

 

no one is looking at it

except maybe the dude who's back of the head we can see, and its kinda tilted upwards, although it looks like he's drinnking coffee

 

they are like who the ******** are they?

 

for god's sake they're new yorkers they could care less if the dude drinking coffee gets runned over

 

Nice!
I've been waiting to see something similar here in So Cal.

 

It's NYC. Just look down and walk. Unless you see a hot chick - then stare until you drool.

 

Props to nike for putting that up. They could of easily put Henry or Ronaldhino up there instead.

 

It looks like he is taking a picture of the billboard with his camera phone. Two New Yorkers taking a picture of a billboard featuring soccer players: I call that progress.

I read in one of the online papers yesterday that there is a similar billboard in San Francisco. Where are the pictures of that billboard?

 

Can anyone tell me which is the cross street for this intersection with 34th street?

I'm myself not in New York. But someone I know in New York asked me about it. They don't have their own car, so I didn't want to ask them to walk up and down 34th street hopelessly looking around at all billboards.

Thanks.

 

Here is the address of FootAction, according to Yahoo!Yellow Pages

430 7th Ave,
New York, NY 10001

Disclaimer: I'm also not in NYC

Edit: Oops, there is a FootAction USA at this address, about a block away:

112 W 34th St.
New York, NY 10120

 

Haha!! Great detective work, should have thought of that.

So 34th street and 7th Ave it is then.

Positive rep to you, sir!!

Well, I think that much accuracy is good enough. They can walk around a block. Actually, even the second address maps to intersection of 34th street and 7th avenue anyway. Thanks!

 

Reminds me of when I was in Rotterdam just prior to Euro 2000. Edgar Davids had the side of a skyscraper all to himself.

 

And Zidane in Marsilles for France 1998. There was an entire building plastered with him as you looked at the city from the Mediterranean.

 

I want to thank NIKE for putting that billboard up i think they know that thers'a hugepotential market. GOing back to an earlier post why would they have an addias ball at their feet when its a NIKE ad?

what's wrong awith a JOGA BONITA ball

 

ok i'm new here how do you activate teh freaking quick reply thnk you adn why cna't i post new threads?

 

Well considering all those people are walking away from the billboard it seems kinda natural they wouldnt have their heads cranked back 180.

Its on west 34th street in Manhatten, only times square sees more traffic on a given day. Its right near Madison Square Garden, NY Penn Station, Macy's and the midtown shopping district.
