The Two Escobars - Trailer

Beginning tonight at 9pm ESPN will be premiering their documentary series 30 for 30. The first documenary will be "The Two Escobars". Based around Pablo Escobar, who was a notorious drug kingpin who controlled close to 80% of the world’s cocaine business in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s and Andrés Escobar who was a promising defender of Colombia’s national soccer team. The Two Escobars attempts to connect the dots surrounding the theory that the brutal murder of Andrés was somehow purported by Pablo (who was gunned down more than half a year prior). Even if you’re not a soccer fan, and you’re completely indifferent about the World Cup that’s going on right now, this documentary shouldn’t be ignored. It explores how drug trafficking influenced many parts of Colombia’s favorite pastime, and how the lives of spectators, owners, and players were all affected because of it.

Countries all over the world will be tuning in to World Cup this year to see who will be taking home the coveted Championship Trophy and making their country proud.
The 2010 FIFA World Cup trophy measures 36 cm in height, weighs 6.175 kg and is made of solid 18-carat gold with a base of semi-precious malachite.
The World Cup takes place in South Africa on June 11th this year and it is only fitting that Louis Vuitton has been commissioned to make the case that will house the championship trophy. Handmade by a singular craftsman in Asnières near Paris. The case is covered in Louis Vuitton’s iconic Monogram canvas, fitted with the company’s signature brass lock and corners, and has a dark brown lining that complements the Trophy’s rich gold. Very Cool.

World Cup Fever

I must admit, I am not that big of a football fan, and by football I mean soccer, the most overlooked major sport in the US that is the biggest sport everywhere else. However the World cup is coming up and it seems like many companies that I am familiar with are showing love to the world cup. Maybe the United States is slowly getting ready to accept Soccer as a sport that they actually pay attention to on a large scale. Here are some of the special edition products that different brands have put out specifically for the world cup.
