Just under 2 weeks ago, on the 5th of January 2009, the FFM crew were invited to the premiere screening of FourFourTwo: Road to South Africa 2010 held at SOULed Out, Hartamas.

Naturally, besides the other journalists and bloggers, the show’s entertaining hosts were on hand to make a small presentation of one of Astro’s latest offering.

Jay Menon and Jason Dasey were also kind enough to pose for pictures at the event.

Each week, football fans can expect to see discussions on one of the eight groups, the key players and relevant updates and news leading up to the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa.

Jason Dasey did say before, “The first version of FourFourTwo, which was launched in August and extended to a one-hour show in October, is registering very healthy ratings. Hence, we wanted to leverage on the increasing popularity of the show by giving Malaysians the FourFourTwo: Road to South Africa 2010, serving as a one-stop destination for all 2010 FIFA World Cup South AfricaTM news.”

The show also takes a look at two nations – England and Australia – bidding to host the 2018 World Cup. England 2018 spokesman Clare Tipton-Kenny will be a special guest along with Ben Buckley the CEO of Football Federation Australia where a clip of the Australia 2018 video hosted by Nicole Kidman will be showcased.

The show airs on Astro SuperSport (CH 811) every Thursdays at 9pm.

As part of Nike’s collaboration with “Red” to help raise awareness about HIV and AIDS, they’ve launched special red laces under the slogan “Lace Up, Save Lives”. 100% of the profits from the sale of these laces will be channeled to both the Global Fund and other soccer-based community programmes aimed at educating people about AIDS.

The two main personalities at the forefront of the initiative are U2’s Bono and Chelsea’s Didier Drogba,  netting twice against Arsenal in the special red laces. “It’s a big honour and pleasure for me to be linked with Bono and try to help him save some lives. AIDS and HIV is something that really destroyed Africa, and people don’t really realise how easy it is to save lives — only two pills a day, which is 40 cents.” says the African footballer.

The Nike “Lace Up, Save Lives” laces are available at all major Nike boutiques.  Retail price is RM15.

We are thrilled to present to you the Simi from the X – Munich futsal shoes range. As one of the first to review these line of fully-imported futsal shoes, we couldn’t contain our excitement at being given the opportunity to do so.

The key characteristic of Munich futsal shoes are the soles and it’s designed to give you maximum grip and versatility on the courts.

With the Simi, a notable feature is the plastic  covered heel area, a very useful aid for defenders who are more prone at being fouled in the said area.

Currently the X-Munich futsal shoes are only available at two outlets.

i) Game Plan, Giant, Kota Damansara ii) No.5, Lorong Universiti C, Section 16, PJ.

FFM was recently invited by Game Plan (located in Giant, Kota Damansara) to be one of the first in South East Asia first to review the X – Munich futsal shoes range. Currently these are only available at Game Plan and another shop in Section 16, Petaling Jaya.

On Sunday, 8 November, Find Futsal Malaysia conducted a photoshoot with a whole array of NIKE football boots and 2 pairs of NIKE futsal shoes. What’s different and significant from our other photoshoots is that this is the first time we used models as part of the set.

Trying to stay true to our aim of bringing an extra little something to potentially mundane photoshoots, this is what we came up with.

The featured shot which was released on our Facebook page and titled “It’s Still 14.11.09 in Brazil” took us quite a while to pull off.

We hope you enjoy the spread and also the other soon-to-be-posted photos from the photoshoot.

Thanks to Padang @ One Utama for allowing us to use one of their courts for the purpose of this photoshoot.

This piece is called the Swiss Army Victorinox Maverick II. It features a high-quality quality rubber strap making it perfect for work and play. We reckon it would pair up nicely with the young active urban executive living life in the fast lane.

This baby was made in Switzerland with precision Swiss analog quartz movement, sapphire crystal protecting its beautiful clockface and an unidirectional rotating bezel.

Most people associate Victorinox Swiss Army with army knives that most of us used to beg for during our boy scout days. And they’re not wrong. The brand is big thanks to its line of fine army knives but Victorinox Swiss Army has managed to replicate the success it’s had with its army knives and produce watches that embody a dedication to  practical luxury, a notion that is integral to the identity and innovation of the brand.

There are countless gorgeous pieces to browse through at the Victorinox Swiss Army official site.

For mothers not done with their Raya shopping, we suggest having a look at these pair of adidas Superstars KIDS.

Your kids can kick it old skool too with these kicks. As with adidas Superstars these feature soft leather upper in a casual athletic sneaker style with a round shell toe.

Yes we know.

With the arrival of the Nike Mercurial Vapor V’s, these Nike Mercurial Vapor IV’s may seem a little out of date but rest assured, it takes no sheen off one of the most beautiful looking pair of football boots that Nike have come up with in the Mercurial Vapor line.  Out of this world cool.

Comfort factor is provided courtesy of the padding around the ankle area of the boots and striking the ball cleanly is made possible with the introduction of the latex cover over the laces.

Cristiano Ronaldo sported these in at least 5 colorways before graduating to the Nike Mercurial Vs in last year’s UEFA Champions League between Manchester United and Inter Milan that also featured  Barca’s new frontman, Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The futsal version that came out in Malaysia were the Nike Mercurial Steam and I waited and waited for the lace-covered edition to release here but it never did.
