Pato Goal Versus Roma

Pato, the young Brazilian, he’s just 18 years old, bursts down the sidelines and deftly chips his fellow Brazilian, Julio Sergio, Roma’s keeper.

AC Milan ended up tying the game 2-2, with Pato scoring both goals. David Beckham also made his debut for Milan, playing wide right, playing smart simple soccer.

Did you notice the shoes Pato was wearing? Does Nike send out a message to all of the players who endorse their shoes, telling them which color to wear this weekend? Over in Italy you saw Pato and Kaka sporting the green Nike Vapors, and in England Cristiano Ronaldo also chose to sport the Nike Vapors in green. Just a coincidence?

And actually the green is called citron, which is a grayish-green yellow, not a dark green. What shoe is it? The Nike Mercurial Vapor IV FG – Citron/Classic.
