Guess who won the inaugural FIFA Men’s World Player of the Year? Lionel Messi. Who were the 2nd and 3rd placed players? His Barcelona teammates Xavi and Andres Iniesta.

Chelsea might go on to break all sorts of records this season – goals scored, points total, most opposition teams humiliated, etc., but I wonder if they already have set a new EPL record – for having the most left-footed players on the pitch.

My “behind-the-scenes” trip of Maxis’ upcoming World Cup advertising campaign wasn’t just about stalking Lionel Messi in Barcelona.

GOING to the studio in Barcelona, Spain, where footballer Lionel Messi was about to shoot an advertising campaign felt like entering some top secret government spy meeting.

AS I was watching Patrice Evra hurl his breakfast on the pristine Old Trafford turf in England last Saturday, I couldn’t help but think – what would that look like in 3D?
