After two days of not knowing what to do with ourselves, the World Cup has returned and has some mouth-watering ties to offer us. Today sees the start of the quarter final games, kicking off with Holland versus Brazil followed by Uruguay versus Ghana.

Eight teams remain from the thirty-two that began the competition, with the full draw detailed below. There are some interesting match-ups, with the prospect of some even more interesting semi-finals, but who's YOUR money on to win the World Cup?!

Danny (Portugal)
Puma v1.06

Robinho (Brazil)
Nike Elite Vapor/Superfly?

Okay so this may be a couple of days ago, but with no football we haven't been able to run our regular World Cup update to feature this great boot spot. But we were loving Danny's Puma v1.06 football boots, with the iconic grass colourway.

Robinho has sparked an interesting debate, as you can clearly see he has the Vapor VI sole-plate, and you can also clearly see he has no lace-cover and there are no signs of one being removed. Have Nike built a bespoke boot for Robinho, maybe a Vapor/Superfly hybrid to promote the Elite series.
