  • Street Soccer
    STREET SOCCER Street soccer, pick-up game, sandlot soccer or a kick-about whatever title you give to the format the idea is to give the game of soccer back to the players. Past generations learned to play the game on their own with other kids in the neighborhood or at school in these kid organized games. Today youth sports are overly adult controlled and influenced. It’s difficult today for youngsters to have a pick-up game since the streets have too many cars, the sandlot now has a mini- mall on it and parents are reluctant, with good cause, to let their child go blocks away from home on Saturday to play in a game on his or her own. Street soccer is a way for soccer clubs to give the game back to the players in the community. Once a week, or whatever frequency fits the circumstances the best, a club can have organized spontaneity. The club will provide the fields and supervision. Adults will be on site for safety and general supervision, but otherwise it is all up to the players to organize the games. The adults should NOT coach, cheer, criticize, referee or in any other way involve themselves in the game. The best bet for parents is to drop off their child, go run some errands, and then come back to pick up your child an hour or two latter. The coaches are on site NOT to coach, but to supervise, be on hand for any serious injuries and any severe discipline problems. Additionally the coaches are there to provide the game equipment and to let the players know when each game segment starts and stops.

  • Zinedine Zidane Voted Top Player by Fans
    Media Release Date: 22/04/2004 Communiqué aux médias No. 063 Medien-Mitteilung Zinedine Zidane voted top player by fans uefa.com users vote Zidane, Beckenbauer and Cruyff as top three The search to find European football's top player from the past 50 years ended today, Thursday 22 April, with the announcement that French international midfielder Zinedine Zidane has beaten off competition from German great Franz Beckenbauer and Dutch master Johan Cruyff, to be named number one by the users of uefa.com. The announcement, made at the UEFA Golden Jubilee ceremony, which opened the XXVIII Ordinary UEFA Congress in Limassol, provided much discussion among the assembled delegates and football representatives, especially with Beckenbauer in attendance. "Just to be in the top 20 is touching, it's great," said Zidane, who provided a message via video from the Spanish capital. "It is extraordinary to be voted one of the best European players of the past 50 years. I am a bit surprised, but I am very glad that people appreciate what we do on the pitch. “I am bracketed with those players that have made a difference in the last 50 years and when you play football, this is the reason you do it. For me, football is everything. It was my biggest passion and something I always knew how to do best. Even today, practically at the end of my career, I enjoy playing football. It is a privilege." No formal award was made to Zidane, although as part of the 50th anniversary celebrations of both UEFA and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), UEFA will provide a donation to a Youth football development fund being administered by the AFC in order to help install an artificial turf pitch in East Timor, which will be named after the France and Real Madrid CF midfielder.

  • Reflections on the World Cup JAIME RAMIREZ
    Reflections on the World Cup JAIME RAMIREZ In 2018 the World Cup will be held in Russia and the buzz around the world is one of ecstasy, particularly for young countries that qualified for the first time, like Iceland and Panama. With World Cup fixtures, the Netherlands and the United States, failing to qualify for the final stage, there is talk of major change in both federations. The United States, in particular, had been mak- ing important strides in recent Cups, making it to the second round routinely. This setback will undoubtedly make U.S. Soccer come to terms with the real- ity that major changes need to be made in order for the team to return to the world stage, especially as the U.S. has submitted a joint bid (with Mexico and Canada) to host the 2026 World Cup. Recently, I heard a network announcer ask his colleagues, “Do you remem- ber the first World Cup that you saw?” It was interesting to hear recollections on what is generally recognized as the greatest sporting event on earth. Here are my own earliest recollections, and how they have shaped my life. The first World Cup that I watched was the 1966 event hosted by England (the last one televised in black and white). The Cup introduced me to “El Rey” Pele (Edson Arantes do Nascimento) from Brazil, the “Black Panther of Mo- zambique,” Eusebio from Portugal, and the Charlton brothers, Jackie and Bob- by, from the eventual winner England. I remember sitting on the living room floor of our house in Mexicali and hearing the announcer continually mention the name “Charlton.” As days went by and England advanced, it dawned on me that there were two Charltons, Bobby and Jackie—gradually, I was able to distinguish between the brothers.

  • History of FOOTBALL World Cup History of FOOTBALL
    History of FOOTBALL World Cup History of FOOTBALL World Cup The FIFA World Cup was first held in 1930, when FIFA president Jules Rimet decided to stage an international football tournament. The inaugural edition, held in 1930, was contested as a final tournament of only thirteen teams invited by the organization. Since then, the World Cup has experienced successive expansions and format remodeling to its current 32-team final tournament preceded by a two-year qualifying process, involving over 200 teams from around the world. The first official international football match was played in 1872 in Glasgow between Scotland and England, although at this stage the sport was rarely played outside Great Britain. By 1900, however, football had gained ground all around the world and national football associations were being founded. The first official international match outside the British Isles was played between Uruguay and Argentina in Montevideo in July 1902. FIFA was founded in Paris on 22 May 1904 – comprising football associations from France, Belgium (the preceding two teams having played their first international against each other earlier in the month), Denmark, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland, with Germany pledging to join. FIFA (Federation International of Football Association) FIFA (Federation International of Football Association) is the international governing body of association football, futsal and beach soccer. It is one of the world's oldest and largest NGOs, being founded on 21 May 1904. It has since expanded to include 209 member associations. President of FIFA - Gianni Infantino of Switzerland / Italy from 2016 to at present. General Secretary - Fatma Samoura of Senegal from 2016 to at present.

From match-worn memorabilia, autograph cards containing diamonds, cards containing authentic pieces of precious metal, and the most star-studded signature list in history, the hobby will never be the same again. This is Eminence Soccer. 3 LIONEL ARGENTINA MESSI 4 10FORWARD If there is any soccer player on the planet that needs no introduction, it’s Lionel Messi. From Buenos Aires to Barcelona and every other corner of the planet, they know all about the Argentine astro and his achievements. Messi’s popularity knows no bounds as he stands as one of the most accomplished players of all time. From authoring some of the most ravishing goals ever seen to hoisting some of the most important trophies in the game, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner is an inspiration for Argentina, Barcelona and future generations. 5 LIONEL MESSI 6 7 CRISTIANO PORTUGAL RONALDO 8 FORWARD 7 There’s no need to wait until he hangs up the boots and calls it a career to heap Cristiano Ronaldo with the type of praise he deserves. It’s more than OK to call him a legend now, well before he retires. The Portuguese idol is as glorious a player as the beautiful game has ever seen or perhaps will ever see. The perfect blend of power, speed, finesse and touch, “CR7” is the epitome of a modern-day footballer. To say you have seen Ronaldo claim trophies with Real Madrid and his national team is to say you’ve seen an icon at his finest.

Both the Chinese and the Greeks, before the Christian era, as well as the Florentines during the Renaissance, played games based on moving a sphere with their feet. Tsu-chu in China, Kemari, in Japan, Epyskiros, in Greece, and Harpastrum, in the Roman Empire, are some of the names of rudimentary forms of the game that became known as football. Developed by the English starting in the 12th century, it was only in the first half of the 19th century that football acquired a set of rules, seeking to differentiate it from rugby, another very popular sport in British schools. In 1863, the Football Association was created, consolidating the rules and organizing the first games and tournaments of the new sport.
