Football Boots News - Clint Dempsey Custom Nike Mercurial Superfly Boots! 06/06/09

After surpassing his 50th cap for the USA Mens National Team, Clint Dempsey took to the field to earn his 51st wearing a brand new custom pair of Nike Mercurial Vapor Superfly football boots!

Fearless attacker Dempsey took on Honduras at Soldier Field in Chicago. Wearing a brand new pair of custom “Don’t Tread on Me” Mercurial Superfly football boots, imprinted with the name of his baby daughter Elyse.

To ensure his 51st cap was a winning one, Dempsey has been putting in the hard hours on the training ground. We’re talking no excuses, sweat-dripping, all-out hustle, which is the hard-working attitude Dempsey is familiar with as he applies his trade in the English Premier League.

After the USA's 2-1 victory over Honduras, Dempsey commented: “It was good. We had obviously been frustrated with the last result because we didn’t play well and then we gave up an early goal. I think we showed a lot of character fighting back and getting the one to pull us ahead, and now were still in a good position to qualify.”

Football News - Nike Mercurial Superfly Hits Euro Leagues 16/03/09

We're sure you enjoyed the weekend's football as much as we did at the SoccerBible. Liverpool's triumph at Old Trafford, Barcelona easing past Almeria and Inter Milan charging towards another title were just some of the highlights.

However, this weekend saw the Nike Mercurial Vapor Superfly football boots hit the major Euro leagues including the Premier League, Serie A and La Liga as loads of players upgraded to the new boots. We've picked our favourites from a frantic weekend's football in a Superfly Spotting special!


Arsenal new boy Andrey Arshavin netted his first Gunners goal - although he switched to Vapor IV for the second half!	Chelsea's Didier Drogba is enjoying a resurgence under Hiddink

Other Premier League Superfly's could be seen at Villa Park, where Tottenham's Aaron Lennon and Aston Villa's Gabriel Agbonlahor both sported the new boots. Nicklas Bendtner didn't quite do the Superfly's as much justice as his Russian teammate however at the Emirates.


Cristiano Ronaldo had a subdued performance but still rocked the Superfly's against Liverpool	Robinho has the skills and but couldn't help Manchester City avoid defeat at Chelsea

Mercurial fan Stephen Ireland also played at Stamford Bridge with the Superfly's, keeping up his reputation of wearing the latest speed boots from Nike. Ryan Babel, a second half substitute at Old Trafford, showed a quick pair of heels in the Superfly boots too.


Pato delivered a Superfly double as AC Milan thrashed Atalanta 5-1	Zlatan Ibrahimovic shrugged off a Champions League exit with a double against Fiorentina

We reckon our eagle eyed SoccerBible fans saw these and plenty of other players across the continent sporting these new boots - let us know who you saw and if they rocked the Superfly's too!
