I apologize for the lack of posts recently. Been hard at work at setting up the next thing in American Soccer, we're taking it to the streets.
The first street soccer league featuring live music, 4 v 4 games, and all sorts or goodies starts next week.

To make up for all this time you're not reading OTP, I'm bringing you some stuff to stay occupied.
First thing... go chase your dreams. That something you love. Go get it or do it better.

The French may be out of Euro, but French watchmakers IWC Ingenieur are dropping a special edition watch to commemorate the great Zinedine Zidane.
The watch is in the colors of les blues and only shows his number 10 on the watch face. His face is shown on the bottom of the watch.

Interview of Cristiano after the Germany loss. Strongly hints he's leaving United.
More after the jump.


Guillem Balague: What feeling have you got after the defeat to Germany?


Cristiano Ronaldo: What feeling?


Guillem: The one after being knocked out


Ronaldo: We didn’t expect this. We wanted to continue in the tournament, but we didn’t do enough. We weren’t strong enough

Guillem: The little details were won by Germany. You didn’t seem concentrated enough


Ronaldo: I didn’t do anything wrong. I did what I had to do but the team made mistakes and that is why we lost


Guillem: What now, Ronaldo, we are expecting an announcement


Ronaldo: Lets see in a couple of days. The tournament is over and I am going to reach an agreement


Guillem: Are you going on holiday now?


Ronaldo: I am going to have an operation now. I have had for three months a problem on my foot. I have been playing with pain. I will have an operation, a good recuperation and we will see after that


Guillem: If you wanted to stay at Manchester United, why don’t you say it?


Ronaldo: You will soon know what I want. You do know what I want and that is why I don’t want to say anything else. Lets wait. I want to give more details that is why I cannot say much more


Guillem: When will that take place?


Ronaldo: In a couple of days. I am going to give my opinion in two days. I am going to say what I want, but things don’t depend only on me, that is why we have to wait


Guillem: Are you going to do a press conference, a communique?


Ronaldo: A public note


Guillem: Do you have to talk to Ferguson?


Ronaldo: I don’t know what I have to say to him. I have to say what I want and what I think.


Guillem: What you have to say, will that upset Ferguson?


Ronaldo: It is my opinion, that is why I don’t mind if people get upset. It is my decision. It is what I want


Guillem: When did you take that decision?


Ronaldo: Some time ago, before the Champions League final


Guillem: Is it something personal or is it for football reasons?


Ronaldo: We were competing and I didn’t want to say anything because it is a very important decision . I didn’t want to say anything here because I wanted to be focused on Portugal. But now it is finished and I am going to say


Guillem: Is it a personal problem or sporting problem


Ronaldo: It is a personal thing. It is something I want, something I dream of.


Guillem: And that your family dreams of too


Ronaldo: That is true. You all know what I want. I cannot say anything else. In two days you will hear from me


Guillem: Do you think it is going to be very difficult to get out of United?


Ronaldo: It is always difficult. It is not only one person deciding, it is many people, but it can be a very good thing for everybody


Guillem: Do you feel what you are about to decide is a step forward in your career, a dream?


Ronaldo: It is a dream, a step forward, you can call it what you want. For me it is a great opportunity, and as Scolari says, that train passes by only once, and we have to take advantage of it


Guillem: Ah, but thats not fair, Scolari is going to be the new Chelsea manager and wants you away from him!


Ronaldo: That is why, he took advantage of his change, that opportunity, and other people have to take advantage of opportunities too.


Guillem: You know that when you return to Manchester people will be upset with you

Ronaldo: But that will pass, a couple of good goals and people will be happy


Guillem: Will the key be to talk to Ferguson?


Ronaldo: I will do a public note and we will then see what will happen


Guillem: Do you think your dream will come true?


Ronaldo: I really hope so, lets see


Guillem: What about the operation?


Ronaldo: I will be seen by the doctors of United in a couple of days


Guillem: You will talk to your club first


Ronaldo: Yes, I will talk to them first, and then in 3 or 4 days I will be operated and then i will start the recuperation to get better soon


Guillem: Is it true that you never took a call from Ferguson?


Ronaldo: It is not true


Guillem: But have you spoken to him?


Ronaldo: No. I was in a very important competition and we had nothing to say to each other


Guillem: Are you convinced that in three or four days everything can be sorted?


Ronaldo: Yes, lets see, in the next few days we will have more details

Congrats to Lil' Wayne. First rap CD to sell over a million copies in a week for the past 3 years.
Hopefully you've had a chance to check it out. I'm liking it more as i keep listening to it.
Anyway.. Have you heard the song titled "A Millie"?... it's the hottest beat in hip-hop right now.
Everybody and their mom has done a remix to this song. We're talking from Will Smith to Jay-Z.
I find the beat to be below average and a little annoying. Maybe someone can explain the appeal of it to me.
Here's some links to some of the remixes.
Jay-Z (A Billie)
Will Smith
Papoose
Jadakiss
Fabolous

Here you go. In case you've missed them...

New Barca coach, Pep Guardiola, has stated that Ronaldinho, Eto'o and Deco are not needed in his squad.
Damn, seems a little harsh.
But you know what they say.... one man's trash is another man's treasure.

Haven't posted videos in a while.
Above is Nike's- The Mission from like 1997 i think.

After the jump check out a funny kinda racy Umbro ad and a new music video i'm digging on.
So get to clicking...
