It appears that Google and Nike's soccer community, Joga, has been opened up to basically everyone with a Google account (although it may require an Orkut login, not sure).

I've poked around in it, and it is basically just a shell for Orkut, and if you aren't that into soccer/futbol, it probably won't hold any appeal for you. Its Orkut, with better styling, a few customization options (background image) and a lot of soccer profile options (style of play, position, favorite score, favorite national team, worst in-game injury).

Perhaps Miel is more into soccer than me, and would like to give it a shot?

A note: No matter which background image you pick, it appears Nike has figured out how to make sure you never miss the Nike "swoosh" logo. Branding! Yeah!

Here are some screenshots.
