  Bravo bravo bravo!! Respect!
  I jus realized that they sports UNICEF logo over the front of their jersey in their game against Recreativo.
  
  I dun think there's ANY football club in the World who supports this kinda cause and development all for free.

  Unicef, the Foundation and FC Barcelona will collaborate over the next five years in order to achieve the Millennium Development Goals and support Unicef activities.
  
  Check out more news on this very nice effort over at Barcelona's Official Site.

  Yeh! I was looking for this line to describe it.
  
  How right was Unicef to choose Barca as their ambassador. They play clean attacking football, not a dirty team. All the while, they dun have sponsors across their jersey until now. And when they did.. Barca paid them and don their logo as well.

  Why not they get a sponsor like samsung??/
  
  get the 50million pounds and donate it to UNICEF
  
  isn't it better????
  
  Putting NKF on a MAN U jersey doesn't mean you will get alot of donations ...
  
  donating the $$$ from sponsors is a better way in helping UNICEF
