Goal Keeper Garry Bailey was a very good goal keeper as was Harry Gregg. Alex Stephney served the club admirably and Edwin Van Der Saar is also another very good goalkeeper but they all pale in comparison to the Great Dane, Peter Schmeichel. He is, in my humble opinion, the greatest goal keeper that I ever saw just ahead of Dassaev of the USSR and Gianluigi Buffon of Juventus. Right Back Paul Parker was a very good right back as were John Gidman and Mike Duxbury, Gary Neville is a good and reliable 1 as well. While Jimmy Nicholl as well as Brian Greenhoff did a very fine job as right full backs. But I have gone with Bill Foulkes as my right back. Left Back Arthur Albiston was an excellent servant...

Which is the greatest team sports' event? For most US Americans the "Super Bowll" would be an easy answer. Others, mostly attracted by baseball, basketball, or hockey, would choose one of those sports' finals or all-star games, but this is not the case for the rest of the world. Outside of the US when people say football they refer to the sport that is known as soccer in United States and which is by far the most popular sport in all of the five continents. The World Cup that takes place over a four-year period is considered as the most important athletic competition, being more widely-viewed on TV exceeding even the Olympic Games. In 2002, when North Korea and Japan co-hosted the World Cup the...

Founded in 1898, the Italian Football League, also known as Italy soccer, is the highest football league in the country. Serie A, which began in 1929, is the top division of Italy Soccer and is primarily sponsored by Italian mobile phone company TIM. Prior to the inception of Serie A, Italy soccer was structured into regional groups. The championship title is commonly referred to as Scudetto, which means 'small shield' because the champions' uniforms will feature a small coat of arms during the following season. After more than 100 years of play, Italy soccer is at the height of it's popularity in both the eyes of the fans and in the media. As we know it today, Serie A is the most elite of all...

Right, no messing around please. The Player of the Year award this season will come down to two players - Cristiano Ronaldo and Didier Drogba. It's as simple as that. I have a funny feeling that the winner will more than likely be determined on whoever happens to be playing for the more successful team. What I mean by this is if Chelsea wins the title and/or the European Cup then I'd probably be putting my cash on the Ivory Coast international to just nudge ahead. Vice-versa if the Red Devils cart home the silverware obviously. Some might say that my forecast is pretty obvious but we all know that a player can have a fantastic season, and still be left out of the reckoning. The stand out example has...

Outright Odds: 3/1 Group F Winners: 1/4 What else is there to be said about Brazil? They are the only team to have participated in every World Cup finals and are five times winners in 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994 and 2002. They have also finished as runners up twice in 1950 and 1998. Manager Carlos Alberto Parreira, who won it in 1994 has possibly a better squad of players at his disposal than he did 12 years ago and instead of Bebeto, Romario and Rai he now has Adriano, Ronaldo and Ronaldinho. It is unlikely the man who has lead four different nations to the finals (Kuwait 1982, UAE 1990, Brazil 1994 and Saudi Arabia 1998) will be complaining. Brazil start as clear favourites for the tournament and have...

Football Jerseys have undergone a complete change in its image, appearance and usage patterns. In the yesteryear sports jersey was just a part of the official sports equipment, nothing more nothing less. The jerseys meant for football players had long sleeves, were plain and their material was heavier than today's National football league jersey. Their simplicity and plainness has been a reason for many comments. Reason for their plainness was that jersey was the team gear with no frills or designing. According to legendary football coach Darryl Royal, they were "working clothes". Custom Jerseys- A new Era in Sports Equipment The growing popularity of National Football League (NFL) and advent of...

Outright Odds: 8/1 Group A Winners: 4/9 Former national favourite and Tottenham Hotspur diving enthusiast Jurgen Klinsmann takes control over the next generation of German players who are keen to end 16 years of hurt and win the World Cup for a fourth time on their own soil. Klinsmann has thrown the traditional playing style manual out of the window. Gone is the patient, tight gameplay, his teams are sent out to play a "fast-paced, attacking and very aggressive" game which has significantly improved their goal tally. However, this strategy, along with a number of inexperienced defenders (none have played at a World Cup finals before) has seen a once resolute back line concede almost as many goals as...

One friend of mine asked me recently why all men are crazy about playing football or what is known in United States as soccer. I am sick of explaining things that you can only understand based on personal experience. But although I managed to provide her with a luminous answer, she came back stating yet another question. "Is it different to play soccer on the grass than to play it on the beach?" That was a good one. "Of course it is different," I replied. Beach soccer, as you can tell by its name, is a sport played on the beaches; preferably during spring or summer time. Although it has been played informally for decades, it was given its official name and rules only recently and specifically in...

Once again, Justine Henin has showed her supremacy on the court. The Belgian has not lost a set at Roland Garros since 2005, and this Saturday she became the first person since Monica Seles in 1900-1992, to win three French Opens in a row. Henin was as good as ever at Roland Garros. Her victory over Serbia's Ana Ivanovic 6-1, 6-2 just in 65 minutes, doesn't leave any doubts of her abilities and confirms her status as one of the all-times greats on clay. This triumph means a lot to Henin, who has had a difficult year after separating from her husband Pierre-Yves Hardenne, regarding it she said: "It's not easy but I'm glad and I'm proud of myself because I now know I can do things by myself. It was...

For many years there has been an argument in sports circles regarding the partaking in sexual activity prior to and leading up to a game, match or prize fight. I mean even in the movie Rocky 1 the Italian Stallion had to say "Yo Adrian no fooling around" the night before he met Apollo Creed in the square circle. Word has come out of the Ukraine soccer camp that coach Oleg Blokhin has decided to use the promise of sex for his players if they reach the semi finals. Ukraine, playing in their first World Cup finals, have been drawn in Group H, along with Spain, Tunisia and Saudi Arabia! My take on this is that if Ukraine stuns the soccer world by getting that far, why you would give the boys a reward...

David Beckham was officially 'unveiled' at MLS side LA Galaxy this week. An unveiling surely is a surprise; the revealing of something behind a shroud of secrecy, as when an artist 'unveils' their new painting at an exhibition, or when Seb Coe unveiled the logo for the 2012 Olympics. Sometimes, plans are 'unveiled' by politicians or businessmen - their strategies laid out for the first time in front of voters or investors, offering a new direction or a new must-have feature. Apple have specialised in 'unveiling' their products in this way. But nothing could have been more expected than the arrival of international footballing superstar David Beckham in LA last week. Every detail of his move - his...

Around the 2nd or 3rd Century BC, it was documented that the Chinese military during the Han Dynasty played a game involving kicking a ball into a small net. A game similar to soccer was played by the ancient Greeks and Romans but their game could include up to 27 players on a side compared to the modern day game of 11 players to a side. Soccer became one of the most popular sports of the masses due to its popularity as a war game. A game of "football" which the British called it, was played in...

Copyright (c) 2007 The Brain Code LLC While running on the treadmill this morning I was watching a soccer game on TV and had the realization that soccer is really a great game for brain fitness. I have played and been around the game all of my life but hadn't really made the full connection to brain fitness until now.

Soccer, and many youth sports, contributes to each aspect of your EPIQ performance by challenging all of these individual pieces. Improving Body Control The physical part is a �no brainer'.

The usual morning haze will be starting to burn off when David Beckham strides out on to the turf at the Home Depot Center today to be unveiled as the glamorous new face of Major League Soccer. Not since Pele graced the long defunct New York Cosmos in the 1970s has the game across the pond boasted a name this glitzy. Yet, while LA Galaxy rejoice in their coup, the prevailing sense is that the entire domestic league is holding its breath to witness 'the Beckham effect' and gauge whether he can change the face of football in the United States. The former England captain's image stared out from the front cover of Sports Illustrated this week, the first British sportsman to claim that honor since Ian...

Improving on your soccer tricks and skills isn't just for impressing your friends and the ladies though. They can also get your match performance to a higher level, because they're surprising and effective. I can give you a lot of examples on that part: remember when Ronaldinho first started to perform his famous Elastico move? (flicking the ball with his outside of the foot to the left, then quickly cutting it with his inside) Nowadays, a defender that's facing Ronaldinho in a one versus one duel will surely be careful against this move, but...

The soldiers played a series of games against students at McGill University. McGill played several games against Harvard in 1874 and a tradition was born.

In America football fields are 100 yards long and 53 and 1/3 yards wide. The goal posts in Canadian...
