The first row foot ball

What is soccer? That’s a pretty broad question. But I’ll try an answer it. Soccer is sport more commonly known around the world as association football. Materials: - A soccer ball (football for non-Americans) - 2 sets of goals (quite often things just marking goals) - Playing space - Teammates and opponent (technical games 11 vs. 11) - Cleats usually used First things first, the soccer ball: The above image is a pretty standard soccer ball. As you can see they are round. Nothing that fancy. The more fancy soccer balls are aerodynamic, tested in wind tunnels, and blah blah. Point of the Game: In soccer, you try to kick the ball into the opponent’s goal, which is subsequently called a goal. You do that with your 10 other teammates, while trying to to get scored on. Rules of the Game: Soccer is a limited-contact sport. That means that slight contact is fine. But anything over that would be a foul/card. There are many different kinds of fouls. Fouls that r

Football Association football, more commonly known as football or soccer, is a team sport played between twoteams of eleven players with a spherical ball.  Team members: 11 per side (including goalkeeper) Equipment: Football (or soccer ball) Soccer A form of football played by two teams of eleven players with a round ball which may not be handled during play except by the goalkeepers. Association football Association football, more commonly known as football or soccer,is a sport played between two teams of elevenplayers with a spherical ball. It is played by 250 million players in over 200 nations, making it the world's most popular sport. The game is played on a rectangular field with a goal at each end. The object of the game is to score by getting the ball into the opposing goal. The goalkeepers are the only players allowed to touch the ball with their hands or arms while it is in play and only in theirpenalty area. Outfield players mostly use t

The only substantial uncovered evidence of Aboriginal participation in soccer before the 1950s is in the stories of two men: W. ‘Bondi’ Neal and Quilp. Neal played as a goalkeeper on the NSW South Coast and the Northern NSW coal fields of the Hunter Valley for more than two decades between 1903 and 1924; while Quilp played occasionally for the Dinmore Bush Rats in the Ipswich competition in Queensland between 1904 and 1910. Neal came to prominence in 1909 when he played for a South Maitland representative team against the touring Western Australians. Despite his efforts in goal the team lost 2–0. Maynard records in  The Aboriginal Soccer Tribe   that after the end of the Peter Bowling strike ‘he left the coalfields for his native South Coast’, and from here, he disappears from the record. ‘Neal is certainly the most famous early Aboriginal soccer player,’ he wrote. ‘But whatever became of this legendary player has disappeared from both the archives and memory.’ This notion

So, here we are! back to formation analysis. The 4-1-3-2 formation is much like the 4-2-3-1 formation but more offensive, having only one defensive midfielder and one extra centre forward. or for better view! It’s technically similar to 4–4–2 (The diamond), or 4–3–1–2 or 4–1–2–1–2. But there is a slight difference and that is, it’s a more attacking formation compared to either one of em. How? How this formation actually works practically? It gives sides a greater presence in the middle third, allowing opportunities to be created a little deeper. It still offers two strikers who can make runs into the channels for a delivery into the box or to play more centrally and combine. The holding midfield player gives support to the back 4 if the ball does change hands. When losing possession we can now see how the system changes into a much more defensive style. The formation  may  revert into a 4-4-1-1 with the three attacking players dropping deeper making a flat midfiel

25 March 1914 - Ares Would Be Proud On 25 March 1914, Aris FC, owners of an impressive home unbeaten streak in UEFA competition, formed in Thessaloniki, Greece. Taking their name from the Greek god of war, they helped found the regional Macedonian Football Clubs Association in 1923 and went on to win that league's inaugural title in 1924. For the 1927-28 season, the regional Greek leagues started an official Panhellenic Championship (replacing an earlier unofficial tournament), with Aris emerging as the first winners. They repeated as national champions in 1932 and 1946 and also won another thirteen regional titles up through 1959. They have not seen as much success since, however, with their only other major honor coming in 1970 when they won the Greek Cup over local rivals PAOK. Despite the lack of silverware, however, Aris have regularly qualified for European competition, leading to their remarkable performance at their Kleanthis Vikelidis Stadium. After losing to Ujp
