That’s true actually. I must have missed Jan’s post on it because this is the first place I saw it.

Magnusson: no worries! This is worth reporting twice. I’m sure there are a lot of Marseille Offside readers who don’t check the Bundesliga Offside.

Inara: The poster is actually closely modelled after an actual portrait of Bavaria’s most prominent king:

You know, that is a cool poster, and it works because Ribery is…well, he’s not pretty by any means. So he kind of looks like those barbarian kings in those cheesy B movie adverts.

That was indeed a very clever marketing coup by Nike.
