Torres was always a player with amazing potential but this season he seems to be the rare breed of footballer who has gone on to fulfill it - an amazing, goal-filled debut season with Liverpool and now reaching the pinnacle of European international football by winning the European Championships with Spain.
I thought it would be a fun idea to see which teams competing in Euro 2008 were the most popular - one easy way to detemine that is to look at how many shirts they’ve sold.
Here’s a look at the Top 5 Euro 08 teams in terms of merchandise moved:
Spain has long since been one of the best teams in the world. Adidas has done their part in giving them great looking kits for a number of years, and with the unveiling of the new Away kit that trend will continue. Great looking kit for an explosive team.
Playing on the gold inside of the Spanish crest, Adidas went with a solid gold top with black stripes on the sleeves. By adding the Spanish Crest on the left chest, which by the way is a perfect size crest, there is balance around the jersey. One nice touch is the lighter gold on the inside of the sleeves, complimented by the black piping going down the front. This is one of the nicest kits I have seen in a while. Definitely ranks up there with the best. I do not like giving perfect scores, but this one is close. I’m going to give it a 4 out of 5 stars.
Spain recently released the home kit they will wear for the Euro 2008 tournament and home matches until 2009. Fans, no need to worry about the away kit, it is set to be updated and unveiled next year. So check back here for the latest Spain away kit in the near future.
On to the home kit, it is the traditional maroon that has become a standard for Spain and their home kits. What I really like about this kit is the simplicity and retro look the kit has. Manufacturer Adidas really stepped up and made a great looking kit by keeping it simple and only utilizing the Spanish Crest and the yellow stripes and piping down the sides. All in all a spectacular kit that deserves 4 out of 5 stars from me.
