Representing an anthropomorphic wolf with brown and white wool T-shirt with the words "RUSSIA 2018" and orange sport glasses. The combination of white, blue and red T-shirt and shorts are the national colors of the Russian team. The student designer is Ekaterina Bocharova, and the mascot was selected by Internet voting. The election results were announced on 22 October 2016, in the Evening Urgant on Channel One Russia. Wolf, named Zabivaka, scored 53% of the vote, ahead of Tiger (27%(. Cat, with 20% of the vote, was third. More than 1 million people participated in the voting, which took place during September 2016 on the FIFA platforms, as well as during the live broadcast on Channel One, where the results of the creative competition were announced. World Cup 2018 Mahan Inflight Magazine 11 Documentary Works www.Mahan.aero The Best Players Who20 Didn’t Qualify For the 2018 World Cup There will be some incredible talent absent from the 2018 World Cup, here is the list some of the biggest names below. Gianluigi Buffon Andrea Barzagli Leonardo Bonucci Giorgio Chiellini (Italy) No doubt Italy were the biggest shock not to qualify for the 2018 World Cup. Missing their first finals since 1958, the four-time winners will probably say goodbye to the legendary Buffon before the next World Cup. Additionally, at 36, and 33 respectively, it may well have been Andrea Barzagli, and Giorgio Chiellini’s last chance at the World Cup, too. Bonucci at 30 may have one more attempt within him. Four immensely passionate players, their absence will be surely missed in Russia, due to their playoff loss to Sweden. 12 World Cup 2018 Mahan Inflight Magazine Documentary Works www.Mahan.aero Jan Oblak (Slovenia) Slovenian shot-stopper Oblak has slowly turned himself into one of the best goalkeepers in Europe with Atletico Madrid, and yet his Slovenia side could only manage four wins from ten games during qualification. Virgil Van Dijk (Holland) Liverpool’s big center back, Van Dijk, will also be absent due to Holland’s poor qualifying performances. They tied Sweden on points during the Group stage but their poor goal difference cost them a playoff opportunity. David Alaba (Austria) Austria’s best player, Alaba is often left with too much to do for his national team. As a result, they didn’t get near qualification, coming fourth in their qualifying group. Naby Keita (Guinea) Guinea came bottom of their qualifying group, meaning we won’t be seeing the dynamic box-to-box midfielder on the biggest stage. He will be taking his talents to England soon though after securing a move from RB Leipzig to Liverpool. Marco Verratti (Italy) Another extremely passionate Italian, Verratti, at only 25, will get another shot at the World Cup in his career. His playmaking ability is often beautiful to watch so Italy’s failed campaign is disappointing. World Cup 2018 Mahan Inflight Magazine 13 Henrikh Mkhitaryan (Armenia) When on his game, Mkhitaryan is sublime to watch but his career has stalled in England. They got absolutely destroyed against Poland in the group stages too, losing 6-1 at their home ground. Wilfried Zaha (Ivory Coast) Arguably the best player in the Premier League outside the six big teams, Zaha is a tricky winger whose pace would have surely caused a lot of problems in Russia. Christian Pulisic (USA) Pulisic is slowly becoming a star for Borussia Dortmund and could well be the first American superstar to succeed in European club football. With only three wins from ten games during qualification, he couldn’t will his United States team to get to Russia. Marek Hamsik (Slovakia) Captain for club (Napoli( and country, Hamsik is a dynamic midfielder who recently overtook Diego Maradona to become Napoli’s all-time top scorer with 116 goals. Slovakia came second to England during the group stage and failed to secure a playoff spot. Riyad Mahrez (Algeria) When on his game, Mahrez can be potent in front of goal and creating chances for others. But during the third round of qualifying in Africa, Algeria failed to win one game from six attempts. 14 World Cup 2018 Mahan Inflight Magazine Arturo Vidal Alexis Sanchez (Chile) Chile were another team to shock everyone by not qualifying. Winner of the previous two Copa Americas, Chile narrowly missed out on qualification due to Peru‘s superior goal difference. As a result we won’t be seeing the extremely talented pair of Alexis Sanchez or Arturo Vidal in Russia. Miralem Pjanic Edin Dzeko (Bosnia & Herzegovina) Pjanic is at the heart of a brilliant Juventus side and has often been compared to Andrea Pirlo. Dzeko has re- invented his career at AS Roma in the Serie A. Both are quality players who play for a Bosnia side that struggled throughout qualification and ultimately came up short. Gareth Bale (Wales) Plagued by injury, Gareth Bale has not been at his electric best for a while now for both club and country. Both are paying the price too, with Real Madrid flagging in La Liga and Wales failing to qualify for the World Cup. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Gabon) Yet to find his form for Arsenal, Aubameyang can be incredibly deadly in front of goal when on form.His gabon side failed to qualify after a 3-0 defeat to Morocco, which he subsequently blamed on dodgy orange juice.

Kits are made to represent not just the identity of the team, but fully encapsulate everything the nation is -- both past and present. Manufacturers spend months researching and designing how a team ' s shirt, shorts and socks should look, and what the kit should represent. Dreaming up a design is more than just using the country ' s national colors. While some countries use the colors from their flags, others use colors that have historical, political or geographical meaning. Symbolic of moments in history Some people look at something and say it ' s beautiful while other people will say it ' s shocking. And while it ' s a subjective thing, over time the shirts -- whether good or bad -- become symbolic of moments in history. They often remind fans of unforgettable World Cup moments, not just on the pitch, but also in their personal lives. The World Cup ' s a good reference point because it ' s once every four years, and four years is quite a life-changing amount of time. By seeing the shirt, you can remember that match ... it ' s a visualization of that match. World Cup 2018 Mahan Inflight Magazine 19 Documentary Works www.Mahan.aero The Netherlands, 1988 One of those unforgettable shirts was worn by the Netherlands. Always dressed in a shade of unapologetic orange -- a nod to their royal family -- many football fans will remember the team ' s loud and geometric Adidas kit from the UEFA European Championships in 1988. Germany, 1988-1991 Historically, Germany has often worn a simplistic black and white home kit -- colors derived from the flag of Prussia, a former state in Northern Europe which was a great power in the 18th century. However, during the 1980s, the colors of Germany ' s flag started creeping into designs and its kit was «elevated to a new level of beauty».

  • Puma Launches Special Italy Team Kit
    2013-03-19 11:37 CET PUMA LAUNCHES SPECIAL ITALY TEAM KIT Coverciano, Italy – PUMA today introduced a special Italy national football team kit for the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup. At a launch event in Coverciano, the training ground of the national team, PUMA presented the new kit together with Gianluigi Buffon and Andrea Pirlo of the ‘Squadra Azzurra’ to the press. The kit will be worn on pitch for the first time in this week’s match against the 2013 Confederations Cup hosts Brazil in Geneva. For the first time in PUMA’s history, the replica shirt is made from 100% recycled Polyester, representing a further step in the Sportlifestyle brand’s sustainability strategy. The official Italy team kit to be worn by ‘The Azzurri’ this summer features enhanced moisture management through the use of a fabric made of recycled polyester and Cocona®, which is an activated carbon made from coconut shells. This mixture of materials provides a superior level of comfort and performance. The new design features a new striking look, including an embossed Power graphic that fades from bold to light. The visual design, evolved from PUMA’s 2012 Power range, emphasises the physical aspects of a player even more prominently. A fluorescent blue piping on the collar and around the font adds a new unique appeal to the shirt. Additional details include the ‘Tricolore’ coloured cuffs and inserts at the bottom of the shirt that represent the national flag of Italy. Giorgio Chiellini, the Italian International attended the launch event and commented, “It is a great moment to wear a new Italian national team kit for the first time on the pitch.

    World Cup 2014, Great Start for Italy. Make us Dream Again, Guys! Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) World Cup 2014, Great Start for Italy. Make us Dream Again, Guys! Giulia Madron (June 16, 2014) Winning debut for Italy at the World Cup 2014 in Brazil. The “Azzurri” of Prandelli beat the English lions during the first game of round D thanks to the goals of Marchisio and Balotelli. Prandelli and Chiellini said it: you are going to see another Italy in the field. They meant it! The National Italian team inaugurated the World Cup 2014 [2] in Brazil with a bang. On Saturday the 12th, in Manaus, Italy played their first game of round D against England. A fearful rival but the “Azzurri” of Cesare Prandelli did not disappoint the fans and the success in Brazil confirmed the tradition of the positive results against the English who have not beaten Italy in official matches since 1977. A difficult start for Italy, which in the first minutes of the game struggled on the accelerations of the English lions. Giorgio Chiellini, who is not a fullback player, really suffered from the attacks of Raheem Sterling and Danny Wellbeck who scared the Italian goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu three times within the first 10 minutes. Convincing center field. Nothing to say about Italy’s center field. A tireless Candreva pushed in search of the shot, Marco Verratti never lost the ball and Andrea Pirlo acted as a movie director having the perfect vision of the whole game. And Claudio Marchisio scored (35’) with a harsh kick on the right corner that Joe Hart could not get.
