adidas Football - Welcome to the family

Mesut Ozil was officially welcomed into the three-stripe family last week.  The midfielder was greeted by fellow German internationals, Real Madrid players, and Real assistant coach Zinedine Zidane in the adidas video.

Özil Switches to Predator LZ

In one of the most surprising boot spots in a long time the Nike poster boy named Ozil played an entire match in the latest Predator LZ. It is unknown if Ozil contract is up with Nike or he simply had a problem with his Nike boots. Throughout the past major tournaments, Ozil has been one of the big endorsers of the Nike Mercurial series. 

As a boot nerd, I would love to hear what he thought about the LZ compared to the Vapor 8.  Personally, at the moment the LZ is my boot of choice because it is the perfect balence/blend of speed and power. The LZ comes in at 7.9 oz while the Vapor 8 comes in at 6.5 oz. Both boots offer a form of lightweight speed but i feel that with the off center lacing and the extra weight that I get more power from the Predator LZ.
