  • 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.

  • Where Next? Football's New Frontiers
    15 TOBY MILLER Where Next? Football’s New Frontiers Football is more popular than Jesus and John Lennon combined. One in every two living people, we are told, watched the 2010 men’s World Cup on television. 1 More than ever, football is a universal currency, a lingua franca – the common ground of culture. In the words of the prominent US journalist Dave Zirin, ‘Soccer is the great global game: the closest thing we have to a connective cultural tissue that binds our species across national and cultural borders’. 2 Go anywhere in the world with a ball under your arm or a rip- ping sporting yarn next to your glass and you’ll never walk, sit or stumble alone. We are accustomed to such shibboleths about the universal popularity of the game. But are they true of the three countries that account for much of the world’s population, knowledge, armaments, wealth – and sport: the United States, China and India? These are crucial sites for a sport that claims ecumenicism/hegemony. Why have they resisted football’s appealing blan- dishments and seemingly inexorable march? And what about virtual fron- tiers – the likely impact of new media technologies on the game’s future? Will football’s geography and means of reception both change markedly as gigantic countries and innovative genres enter the fi eld of play? Conversely, one might ask why the growth of football’s popularity, whether spatially or textually, is even an issue. Can’t a sport simply emerge and exist organically? The answer is sonic and onomatopoeic.

Spain beat Iran 1-0. the World Cup although dogged Iran came close to causing a major upset yesterday. The victory in Kazan puts the 2010 winners on course for the last 16. Costa, who scored twice in a 3-3 opening draw with Por- tugal in Sochi, courted contro- versy early in the Group B encounter when he stepped on the toes of Iran ‘keeper Ali Bei- ranvand as he waited to kick the ball out. His gesture went unpun- ished, and the Atletico Madrid striker required another stroke of luck on 54th minute when his shot came off Ramin Rezaeian to beat Beiranvand after he had been sent through by Andres Iniesta. The entire Iranian bench poured onto the pitch when Saeid Ezatolahi fired an equaliser for the Lions of Persia just before the hour.

  • NFC, RFID and Other Technology Used at the 2018 World Cup
    Blog for Syrma Technology https://www.syrmatech.com/world-cup/ NFC, RFID and Other Technology Used at the 2018 World Cup Posted August 30, 2018 Leading-edge technology played integral roles in the 2018 World Cup, held earlier this summer in 11 soccer venues across the Russian Federation. The most prominent application was RFID ticket authentication. With over three million total tickets available for 64 scheduled matches, rabid soccer fans required state-of-the-art protection against the disappointment of acquiring counterfeit tickets. The Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), which organizes the World Cup, solved this long-nagging problem by adding a printed RFID inlay on every ticket. As thin and flexible as the paper ticket stock—and far more technically intricate than a standard barcode, these smart tickets were also programmed with ID data of the original purchaser—making them virtually impossible to illegally duplicate. During two separate scans at stadium entrances, ushers assured every ticket holder possessed the genuine article, thwarting counterfeiters looking to prey upon legions of visiting fans from around the globe. Now Serving…Smart Beer? Once inside the stadium, as with most live sporting events, enthusiastic fans relish a frosty beverage while enjoying the action. Vendors at the World Cup venues treated fans to a unique plastic beer cup, enhanced with a small embedded microphone and organic light-emitting diode (OLED) lights. During instances of loud crowd noise—such as cheers for a soccer goal—the innovative cups reacted with corresponding bursts of colored light, creating an impressive visual effect throughout the stadium. Intended to deliver this novelty for only the short duration of a soccer match, the maker of these cups relied upon sourcing low-cost components to successfully deliver up to 10 million cups at an acceptable price point.

  • From 1955 to July 1971, "Kicker" Did Not
    From 1955 to July 1971, "Kicker" did not comment on individual players in separate sections but only reserved one or two sentences for the highest-ranked players in their general commentary. July 1970 … we can be highly pleased with the success of our team (third place!) and with individual performances of our players in Mexico. After a critical assessment of our players, which in some cases gave us headaches, we can now – dear reader – introduce you six players of world class: Berti Vogts, Franz Beckenbauer (even twice, once as central defender and in midfield), Karl-Heinz Schnellinger, Wolfgang Overath, Uwe Seeler and Gerd Müller. Beckenbauerand Overath held on to their world class evaluation from our last ranking in a supreme way. Vogts had to battle hard to remain in that category. But who, after all, managed to trump the little Terrier from Mönchengladbach when he had his ups and downs as a full back? No one. One man virtually bombed his way into world class: Gerd Müller, with ten goals the top scorer of the World Cup. But Müller did not only shine brightly as a goalgetter. He disproved all know-it-alls who claimed that he had no sense for combination play. The Bomber from Munich certainly is not one of the greatest in terms of technique. He knows that himself. In Mexico he proved however that his uncontrived, straightforward style also beats the world elite. And he also proved that additionally to his matchless instinct for scoring goals he is capable of providing good crosses and well-timed 1-2s.
