The Sporting News Cheers Gatorade Soccer Ad

Mike DeCourcy of The Sporting News gave rave reviews to the new "It's A Whole New Ballgame" Gatorade advertisement. DeCourcy writes: "The Gatorade ad featuring the national team shows some of the difficulties that the players endure for the glory of their game and this nation - particularly the hostile treatment they can receive when playing qualifying games in Latin America. I feel a little weird now, seeing the New England Revolution's Taylor Twellman featured prominently, as he was not included on the 23-man World Cup roster announced last week. But it's still a stirring tribute to a team that faces difficult odds in the Cup's "Group of Death" next month."

Awesome work on the US national team. To put up with the crap that they endure while the bulk of the US sports media gives them not much better treatment demonstrates their true passion for the game.

Hello All,

What do you think, if Zidane was not to hit Materazzi in that finals game would the outcome be different? Would the French have enough strength to actualy score?

I believe that nothing would have changed!
