I have never been the world's biggest soccer (football for my European readers) fan. I have attended a Columbus Crew game, that is an American Major League Soccer (MLS) team, in the past.

First, Manchester United Football Club (that's soccer ladies and gents) announced that it will replace American International Group on its shirts with Aon in 2010.
