At the end of the month the NFL, formerly the National Football League, teams will be voting to as to whether or not they should officially change names to the "No Fun League."

The past few off-seasons the league has passed some really dumb rules to try to suck as much fun as they possibly can out of the game of football. Today that fun-squeezing seemed to continue when I heard that the league's teams will be voting on a ban of player's hair flowing out of their helmets because "the hair could cover their name" and is a uniform violation. Everyone knows that's not the real reason for their stupid new proposed rule, and I can't help but feel that the rule is directed towards a certain race, which is just wrong.

Roger Goodell - if you ever find this article than I want you to leave my site with this simple and very non-vulgar statement engraved in your mind: Quit your job, you fun-sucker-out-of-er.

What would players like Troy Polamalu, Marion Barber, and Al Harris be like without long hair? I'll tell you what, just boring old football players.

The picture above is of the famous Lambeau Leap, a precise art that is executed at home Green Bay Packer's football games by the receiver who catches a touchdown. Now look at that picture and tell me how that is hurting anyone: beer flying everywhere, a massive celebration, and that beautiful cheesy grin on Donald Driver's face.

The NFL acts like everything that has to do with the league is a matter of national security, but the reality is that football is supposed to be a form of entertainment for fans. Banning things like touchdown celebrations just take away an element of that entertainment value.

Pauline Frommers Italy 2008: Spend Less, See More: For a New Generation of Smart Travelers

2008-06-22T02:28:00.001-07:00

Spend less and see more in Italy. Are you ready to travel smart? If you'd like to get the most out of your dollar and your trip, this guide is for you. I put a fresh spin on budget travel, showing you how to see the best for less and how to see it in a more authentic way, the way the locals do. Instead of spending $300 a night for a chain hotel, why not stay in a light-filled apartment in Rome's historical Trastevere neighborhood from just about $125 or in one of Italy's monasteries for as little as $35? Or how about enjoying a plate of hearty appetizers at Venice's Cantino do Mori, so you can splurge on Paolo Senni's tagliata di fesa di vitella at Cane & Gatto in Sienna? Let me show you the "other" Italy, the only only insiders know about. Take a one-day paper marbling class in Venice or learn to cook the perfect ragu in Bologna. These are only a few of the great ways to get closer to the culture of Italy. Read on for more. Happy travels. [Text from Back of Book]

As a sporting rivalry, the United States vs. Mexico soccer rivalry is highly unusual in a number of ways. There is an enormous asymmetry in terms of the histories, pedigrees and breadth of fan devotion, and in many ways the rivalry feeds off of the deeply ambivalent nature of the larger geopolitical environment in which the matchup takes place.

This causes fans to lose a sense of objectivity about the strengths of the respective squads, and many debates in online forums rapidly degenerate into silly jingoistic tirades. Can, then, an American soccer fan offer an honest assessment of the strengths of the two sides? I shall try.

Mexico is better. Ugh... just saying is a disgusting thing for an American soccer fan. Mexico is better. As odious as the sentence feels to say and sounds to hear, it is as true as it is disappointing. Now, I know all the head-to-head statistics that show how dominant the Untied States has been away from Azteca, and by any reasonable examination of the situation, even the most diehard fan of the Tricolores would have to admit that Mexico can't beat the United States. Odd as it sounds, though, it doesn't actually mean that the United States is better.

In boxing, trainers and journalists talk about styles making fights, and this is certainly true of soccer as well. For reasons either stylistic or psychological, the United States has Mexico's number. That said, it is also certainly true that Mexico has fared better against top international competition than has the United States.

To get at the root of my point, imagine a thought experiment. Suppose that you took the top seven teams in the world; for the sake of argument, let us say that they are Italy, Brazil, Argentina, France, Spain, Portugal, and Germany. Suppose further that you could select either the United States or Mexico to play in this round-robin tournament. Which team would do better? Even as an American fan, I think it is obvious that Mexico would likely do better. They have played Brazil and Argentina extremely well of late, even managing to pull out some high profile wins. In any case, none of those teams would outclass Mexico in the way that, say, the Czech Republic did to the United States in 2006.

It is completely understandable to want to tear down your rival, and to dismiss them out of hand as being of less quality. Doing so, though, both diminishes the victories that you earn against them and also precludes you from trying to learn something from them. Irrespective of the dominance that Team USA has had against Mexico of late, who would argue against the notion that the USA could learn something from the way in which Mexico insists on playing with style, attack mindedness and flow. Similarly, for what's worth, Mexico could also learn a great deal from the United States about how to play with grit and determination when confronted with a more talented opponent.

So, the United States and Mexico will gear up to play again, and both sides will likely both overstate the importance of the match while, oddly, also understating the quality of their opponent. This is an unfortunate mistake because both sides have some quality players, a bright future, and real reasons to respect each other, even if they don't always like each other.

France EURO 2008 Mini Soccer Ball

2008-06-21T20:46:00.000-07:00

Country: France #606404 Get ready to cheer on LES BLEUS in EURO 2008!

David Beckham has been one of England's finest ever footballers. He may not have the control and skill of the likes of Kaka, Ronaldinho, or Zidane, but his ability to pass the ball over distance, hit a dead ball, and in particular, deliver a cross into a dangerous area, is second to none. His career has taken him from the great treble winning Manchester United side, to the exciting Spanish La Liga winners Real Madrid. These are arguably the two biggest football clubs in the world, and David Beckham has been, and remains, a hero at both.

Becks has ninety-nine England caps to his name, many as captain, and one can only hope that the new England manager, Fabio Capello, his old boss in Madrid, will do the decent thing and allow him to get the one hundredth cap he so richly deserves.

The reason Beckham is so popular is not just his footballing ability or his Hollywood looks, it is the way he dealt with the adversity that his sending off in the 1998 World Cup quarter final against Argentina brought to his door.

English football fans around the country were burning effigies of the footballer and making death threats. He dealt with all that as a very young man, and showed courage and dignity. The sheer weight of his ability and his likable personality won over England and made him a hero.

The questions to answer are, firstly, can he win over America, and secondly, why has he chosen to play there whilst he is still good enough to play at the very top?

In terms of winning over America, I think he can become a popular figure. His marriage to Victoria, making her comeback with the Spice Girls, is big news, and they are likely to become media favorites. Neither Victoria nor David tend to shy away from the limelight and they are sure to prove a hit.

In relation to his footballing decision, I believe Becks may have made the decision too quickly. He agreed to the move when he appeared to have no future at Real Madrid with Capello leaving him out of the side. He made the decision for two reasons. Firstly, the obscene amount of money he was going to get paid, and secondly because Victoria would crave the LA lifestyle. These reasons are perfectly understandable and laudable. They were made with his wife and children at the forefront of his decision making.

What it does mean is that Becks has probably come to the end of his wonderful career as a top player, and whilst he may get that one hundredth cap, he is unlikely to get many, if any, more.

He will enjoy his time with LA Galaxy, and he will prove to be popular with the locals and the media. He will be happy, as will his wife. They will be financially secure forever, his children will grow up in a wonderful place, and he might just manage to raise the profile of the game in the States.

I say 'Good luck Becks' and thanks for all you've done for England.'

The soccer shoes, known also as soccer boots are a very important part of the uniform and the game. As player's costumes have changed so much since the early days of the game, soccer boots have been through surprisingly few design changes in the last seventy years.

The evolution of boot development has been a conflict between protection from the climate and injury; against the freedom of limb movement to perform better. The improvement of the player's fitness has had a positive spin on soccer shoe development but these changes surprisingly appear to be more stylistic than anything else.

As soccer has become more glamorous the look has become more important than the desire to play better or decrease injury rates. It appears from the published literature there have been more injuries caused by soccer shoe innovations than appear to be resolved by new designs.

In the early years, soccer shoes were generally black and with higher cuts than the ones used today. The design evolutions of the shoes have become part of the game and as much an important item as the shorts or socks and almost as popular as the jerseys.

Players use special and customized soccer shoes made especially for them. The more significant changes to the shoes were that in the modern days the cut is lower, the color has changed. The shoes have become more comfortable and pretty much lighter than the old ones.

The old shoes were made out of leather with wooden cleats and leather soles. The newer soccer shoes are made out of leather or synthetic material, plastic or rubber soles and the cleats can be plastic, rubber, aluminum and even rubber or plastic and with the end made out of aluminum.

Some of the soccer shoes have changed the place of the laces and put them on the side of the shoes and some don't even have laces anymore. It is said that the change in the laces was so you could kick with more accuracy.

Players and soccer shoe manufacturers also use the shoes for marketing purposes, with special edition shoes, different color shoes, even autographed shoes. There are infinite different colors for soccer shoes. From plain black to golden with special details, or with, two, three even four colors combined.

Comfort is a very important issue for the soccer shoes. A pair of uncomfortable soccer shoes can cause serious blistering. Usually new soccer shoes need to be broken in so that they adapt to the format of the foot to prevent the blisters.

However, with new technologies, comfort is constantly improving and eventually one will be able to put a new pair of soccer shoes on, play a game and not have any blisters.

Even though the design of the soccer shoes hasn't changed much in the last seventy years, the design is quite different from the first soccer shoes. Technology has changed the feel of the shoes and the weight of these that were once very heavy.

For good playing, soccer depends a lot on the quality of the soccer shoes worn. Professional and amateur players love to be different by using an uncommon color and designed soccer shoes.

#615361 The little ball with big style and quality

My rookie season in the NFL, I had the best coach I could of had. He was a perfectionist, and would only talk to you when you made a mistake! So you can imagine he talked to me a lot during training camp. Coach would not just give you constructive criticism... he would GO OFF ON YOU for running the wrong route, or making the wrong read.

In 1996 we were still running the run-n-shoot offense in Atlanta, and every play had multiple options for every person. If the play called for a simple 12 yard out route, I could have a combination of routes based on the coverage of the defense, and the position of the defensive backs. My head was swimming the first week. But I soon figured coach out. He knew you were going to mess up occasionally. But as long as you don't make the same mistake twice, or make the same mistake that someone else just made, then you were fine.

I decided to take daily notes in our meetings of my mistakes and the mistakes of others to make sure I would not do it again. This habit allowed me to make the team and play over guys who were bigger, and faster than me. To quote coach, "I'm going to cut you, before the owner cuts me. If I can't trust that you are going to do the right thing every time, then I can't play you in a game." Eventually, I was able to not only know my assignments, but because I took the time to listen to the coaching points for the other players, I learned their assignments as well. This allowed me to be more valuable to my team, and to the coaches at the same time.

Most people tend to only want to do enough to get by. But if you want to be truly successful in life and in football, you must me teachable and able to handle criticism. This mindset will allow you to learn things about yourself and the game that you would not have known. You will also put yourself in a position to be as successful as possible both on the field and off of it.

I made a decision to allow the coaching points to help me develop as a player. I choose to apply what I learned about myself and my teammates immediately in practice. Consequently, I was able to play at the highest level of football with confidence.

If you want to make it to the next level, start paying attention to the little things, and do the right things right every time!

If your children enjoy playing sports you may have the perennial problem of how to keep them entertained during the long winter months as well as keeping them off the computer, games console and keeping their fitness up. One alternative could be indoor soccer. Around the country indoor football arenas are springing up to enable children and adults alike to play indoor soccer through the dark winter months. Many indoor football arenas hold weekly training sessions for children and may even hold tournaments throughout the winter.

You will be amazed at your sons or daughters improvements in their skill level and love for the game of soccer by taking part in these sessions. In every persuasion the game looked like fun, so three of us got together and started play acting one morning. Your kids will enjoy the safe play environment and the kids enjoy sempiternal hours of fun with a huge variety show of play equipment available to you. Civilize teams and academics come number one, so when there is a conflict, players are expected to go to their cultivate commitment number one. In the courses of instruction emphasis is placed on ball handling, passing, shooting, and rules.

Sometimes girls feel more comfortable learning about soccer in a clinic which only has girls involved. This league offers an excellent opportunity for a very fast game with no boards that demands a lot from players, young and old, and can greatly enhance individual actor development. This feed introduces the pupil to the fundamental skills of football. Feed emphasis is placed on ball handling, passing, shooting, and rules as well as the basics of development. Club fundraising exists for the purpose of spotting that every player who wants to gets to play, no one wants to see their kids sat on the touchline. Playing will also grow their power to understand where they need to be and what they need to do with their positioning and team play.

A computer program has been designed to take players who show power to another level by giving them the skills that can take them there. Association football was an extremely popular sport in the domain of children from an early age. These leagues will teach blocking, passing, kicking, catching, running and sportsmanship. Very little is needed in the way of equipment for your child other than maybe a pair of kids football boots for playing on the indoor surface. It's great for beginners and kids playing in upcoming summer programs. We offer leagues year round for soccer and additional sports listed infrastructure.

Indoor fees have to be paid upfront, when a team is entered into the conference. You will be astounded at your sons or daughters improvements in their skill level and love for the game of soccer. This is the game that outdoor soccer players roughly the globe play when they are inside to down and maintain their operate skills and feeling. Then, soccer was an extremely popular sport in the part. Techniques such as full court press, press breakers, fast break, defensive schemes and tactic to tactic and zone offenses will be covered.

One rule that is implemented is that all players will get an equal total of playing time. I helped out coaching the kids and ever enjoyed kicking it about with them, it's invigorating

We also acquire their ability to understand where they need to be and what they need to do with their positioning and team play. Maybe this type of true sports team will play and will easy get the standard from now on. Coach and families will determine whether a team plays in both winter time sessions and just the moment session. I hope to share some penning I have done in the past and some I am currently working on.
So if you want your child to play soccer safely in an environment that is monitored perhaps indoor soccer is the future for you?

I try to pass on my musings on life and experiences in a way that people may find interesting to read.

Country: Italy #622434.RO The Azzurri needs YOU for the EURO 2008

This result in addition with Birmingham City's 3-1 win over Manchester City confirmed Derby's relegation and the only thing they are playing for is not to be the official worst ever team in the premiership in regards to amount of points accrued. The worst is Sunderland with 16 points and they are currently on 11.

There has been little doubt that they have been 1 of the worst ever teams to play top flight football in any league as they have a plethora of poor players without any outstanding ones. Apart from the potential of Gilles Barnes, you would be hard pressed to see any of their players being bought by premiership sides next season.

In other news, Arsenal came back from 2 goals and a man light with Abou Diaby sent off for a shocking tackle in the 1st half; with a 3-2 win over their bogey team Bolton, to halt a poor run of results that have seen them go from 5 points in the lead to 6 points behind leaders Manchester United.

Manchester United defeated an increasingly poor Aston Villa by 4-0 with Cristiano Ronaldo continuing his hot streak in front of goal with the 1st and Wayne Rooney grabbing a couple; his 1st goals at Old Trafford since October.

Elsewhere Sunderland boosted their chances of staying up by defeating West Ham by 2-1, Reading played out a lackluster 0-0 draw with Blackburn and Portsmouth warmed up for their upcoming FA Cup semi final next week by defeating Wigan Athletic 2-0.

In Scotland Glasgow Rangers boosted their chances of winning the Scottish premier league by defeating their archrivals Glasgow Celtic by 1-0 with the goal scored by Kevin Thompson just before half-time to put them 6 points clear of Celtic with a game in hand.

Debt-ridden Gretna were relegated after losing 2-0 at St. Mirren to add to the catalogue of woes that has affected them this season as they have gone into administration as well.

In Italy Roma missed the chance to pile more pressure on league leaders Inter Milan by only drawing 1-1 at struggling Cagliari where they needed a free kick from their influential captain Francesco Totti to cancel out an own goal by Matteo Ferrari.

Inter Milan had a tricky looking game at Lazio that they also managed to draw despite going in front with Hernan Crespo but Tommaso Rocchi equalized in the 2nd half to leave Inter still 4 points ahead of Roma in the race for the title.

In Germany Lukas Podolski scored his 1st Bundesliga goal of the season to rescue leaders Bayern Munich at Nuremberg. Title rivals Werder Bremen and Bayer Leverkusen both lost at home to Duisburg and Eintracht Frankfurt respectfully.

Schalke could only manage a draw at Karlsruhe while Hamburg could also just manage a draw at home to Arminia Bielefeld leaving Bayern 7 points clear at the top of the table.

In Spain Barcelona managed to let a 2 goal lead in the 1st half were they were totally dominant and could have been 5 goals up to lose 3-2 to Real Betis as they totally collapsed in the 2nd half. Betis even managed to miss a penalty and still win in what was a total transformation for both sides as Betis were dreadful in the 1st half and Barcelona were terrible in the 2nd half.

In an entertaining game Barcelona went 2 goals in front through Bojan Krkic and Samuel Etoo with both goals set up almost identically by Xavi Hernandez and then Edu scored from a header to make it 2-1 and he then missed a penalty when Eric Abidal who had a shocker, brought down substitute Victor Odonkor but almost immediately from Victor Valdes' penalty save, Betis captain Juanito scored a stunning goal as he brought the ball down with his chest and hit a great volley to make it 2-2.

Edu then made amends for his weak penalty by hitting a glorious winner to aid Betis' hopes of survival.

This result would pile more pressure on beleaguered manager Frank Rijkaard, who took of his team brightest spark, Bojan Krkic when they were 2-0 up in the 2nd half.

At the time of writing Villarreal, who were 3rd and just 2 points behind Barcelona were leading Atletico Madrid 2-0 at half time and if the result stands would leapfrog Barcelona into 2nd place and would just be 3 points behind stuttering leaders Real Madrid who have a tough game tomorrow at home to Sevilla.

In France Bordeaux defeated Nancy 2-1 with Fernando Cavenaghi getting both goals as they look to secure champions league football for next season.

In Holland leaders PSV could only manage a goalless draw away to Nijmegan while rivals Ajax went to Heerenveen and won by 4-2.

Everyone loves Soccer tricks!

Ronaldinho the soccer player probably has the best soccer tricks in the game at the moment but it is worth checking out some other soccer players as their soccer moves are also outstanding. Brazil soccer fans will claim to have the most famous player in the world, Ronaldinho and there is no doubt he is a hard man to beat.

Here are some other players famous for their soccer tricks.....

George Best

The late George Best could do anything with a ball in his prime, indeed you would often think that the ball was tied to his foot with a piece of string! He had pace, skill and could play with both feet.

Pele

Brazil soccer fans have another hero in Pele ! The famous Pele scored over 1000 career goals and had a variety of soccer tricks to display. At the age of 17 he scored a wonderful goal in the 1958 world cup final when he beat 2 defenders and chipped the ball over their head to volley home!

And who could forget the famous " dummy" in the 1970 World cup finals when he fooled the goalkeeper!

Johan Cruyff

What a player the Dutch had in the majestic Johan Cruyff! He could anything with the ball and in his prime was part of the Dutch total football team who reached two consecutive world cup finals in 1974 and 1978 . Famous for the soccer trick called the "Cruyff" turn where he dips his shoulder and fakes a cross while back heeling the ball past the defender!

Maradona

Another genius who captained Argentina to world cup glory. The Maradona goal against England in the 1986 world cup goal is one of the all time greats. If you watch any Maradona videos you will realise he was a little box of soccer tricks as he could do almost anything with the ball and especially his magic left foot.

The history of Maradona is certainly complex but he is right up there with the very best, did you know he can do keepie ups with a golf ball ? How difficult would that be? Maradona could do any soccer trick!

Soccer moves are a joy to watch and all the players above played the game with a smile on their face and that's what soccer fans will gladly pay money to see!

The Super Bowl slipped through the well-manicured fingers of New England Patriots Quaterback Tom Brady, and that is a big story in itself, as not much has slipped through the Hall-Of-Famer-To-Be's grasp during his NFL career.

Tom Brady has had virtually everything go his way in the NFL. Now, after 18-1, we will see really for the first time how Tom Brady bounces back after being beaten up, pride and all. The New England Patriots and Brady go back to the drawing board, 0-0. There is no shortage of AFC teams looking for their red, white and blue heads going into the 2009 season. But that is for another day.

Tom Brady is a Golden Boy. We see them once in a while in sports. Good looks, great player, luck of a great surrounding cast, the right Coaches, the right system, etc. The white hot spotlight does not (usually) bother Golden Boys, and the stage is always big-always Broadway for their likes.

Now we will see how resilient Tom Brady is. This loss, for this team, with its collective ego, was an absolute crusher. The New England Patriots, although they will never admit it, took their foot off of the pedal ever so slightly during the second-half of the season. Sometimes that is all that it takes to come slowly back to the pack, the days of 40-50 points-per-game becoming a more distant memory as the season progressed. If that team was playing in the Super Bowl, then maybe the outcome would have been different. Maybe.

Bill Belichick knows how to coach football. He has all the fuel he now needs going into next season to motivate the New England Patriots. Question is-just how tough are Tom Brady and the New England Patriots to rebound from an undressing before 97,000,000 Americans?

There's no question to every body that loves football (soocer), loves to see a world class dribbler. The player that can run past defenders with ease. They set the crowd a light, the fans want to see them, young player want to be them. Every player wants to know their secret, the simple tricks is hard work, dedication and sacrifices. During your football training (soccer training) either individually or as a team you must try to get as many touches on the ball as possible. There are a vast a ray tricks and dummies world class players use to beat there opponents, but the truth is that you really only need to master a couple to be an effective dribbler. Look at Leo Messi consistently goes past defenders like they were standing still, the weird thing about Messi is that defenders know what his going to do but they still can't stop it. Why because his perfected and worked hard to hone his technique.

The Body Swerve

An all time favorite of Messi. You start by dribbling at slow to moderate pace toward a defender, then feint both with body and feet to take the ball one way. You drop your shoulder, leaning to take the ball right or left, then quickly changing direction and accelerating away from the defender.

You should first practice during your soccer training sessions by your dribbling toward another ball, cone or leaf it doesn't matter. perform the move slowly, and as you start to feel more comfortable start to increase the speed, while also keeping an eye on making sure that you will put the defender off balance by your feint. The quicker running pace you can perform this move effectively the more you will have the defender on his heels making it easier to put him or her off balance. The next key step is the acceleration away from the defender, you don't want to be repeatedly beating the same defender, thats why acceleration after you beat the defender is so crucial. You must learn to perform this move with both feet, this will make unpredictable to defenders.

It's important that you continue to hone and maintain your skills, during your soccer training. Never become complacent, always strive to be better, thats why players like Messi are the best in world, because the worked harder and smarter then anyone else to be the best. The more you put into your soccer training the more you will get out of it.

Machine stitched.

It could be argued that with a different manager, Inter Milan would have done better in the champions league, Roma would have been leading or at least on equal amount of points with Inter, Chelsea would have been in the FA cup final and Arsenal would not be as successful as they have been.

But nowhere is it more glaring than the top 2 sides in Spain, that a top quality manager is needed for the full potential of a squad of brilliant players to be realised.

The way Real Madrid and Barcelona have gone about this season has been massively disappointing and most of the blame should be put squarely on the shoulders of the respective managers as they have made so many baffling tactical decisions, it has stopped being amusing.

Neither team has been entirely convincing this season and it is only because of the lack of belief from the other sides in the league that Real Madrid is still leading the league.

Teams like Villareal, Athletico Madrid, Sevilla and Espanyol lack the inner belief that they could win the league and they seem to be content with qualifying for 4th position at the very most.

The decisions taken by Bernd Schuster this season when it comes to his starting line-up and also his substitutions have been mind boggling to say the least and on Saturday night against Mallorca, he was at it again.

It is puzzling that he thinks that Gonzalo Higuain is a better option than Robinho in the starting line-up and his insistence on starting with Marcello at left back no matter how many mistakes he continues to make is another strange issue.

It was going well very luckily for him when Real Madrid were leading by 1-0 through a Wesley Sneijder goal but then Sergio Ramos was harshly sent off and this is where Schuster displayed his lack of acumen by taking off Higuain (rightly) but bringing on Mahamadou Diarra in what turned out to be a disastrous decision.

Diarra is not a right back and Mallorca quickly capitalised on that and got the equaliser from ex Real Madrid player, Borja Valero. He then realised his error and brought on Miguel Torres who is a right back and should have been brought on in the 1st place to replace Sneijder.

Then in the most bizarre substitution of all he took off his leading scorer Raul and brought on Julio Baptista and really Mallorca should have won the game in the last minute when their leading scorer, Daniel Guiza missed an absolute sitter.

Would Barcelona take advantage of this loss of 2 points by Real Madrid? Of course not! Not while Frank Rijkaard keeps matching Schuster for ineptitude with his stranger decision to keep playing Thierry Henry on the left, Samuel Etoo on the right and Bojan Krkic in the middle.

Bojan is far away the smallest of the 3, the least experienced and the one with the least amount of goals but Rijkaard still persists in playing his as the centre forward.

Obviously Barcelona struggled to a 0-0 draw against a Getafe side that expended a lot of energy in their excellent 1-1 draw on Thursday against German giants, Bayern Munich in the UEFA cup.

It is no wonder that everyone seems bemused in the Barcelona squad when players are continually played out of position.

The saddest part is neither Real Madrid nor Barcelona were made to pay for their results as 2nd placed team, Villiareal lost at Sevilla by 2-0 with goals by Luis Fabiano and a Freddy Kanoute penalty

Fresh from the Arsenal draw match, Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard claimed that Francesc Fabregas can go on to be one of the greats. He said that Cesc could go on to be one of the best in the world and there is no doubt about that.

There is injury concerns rising in the Reds team. Jose Reina has described Liverpool's injury problems as a pain after the Reds again lost Xabi Alonso and Fernando Torres. Both Torres and Alonso were injured in their comeback games in the thrilling 1-1 draw against Arsenal on Sunday as was Javier Mascherano.

However the Argentina midfielder has suffered only extensive bruising and no bone injury on his foot. Reina said that the injuries are a big problem and they have had far too many in the last few months. He also commented that when important players are recovering and coming back into the side and then they get injured again, and this is a bit difficult for the team to function well.

Benitez options are not many as he is also without winger Jermaine Pennant until after Christmas as he is waiting to recover from a stress fracture of the shin, while first-choice centre-back Daniel Agger is still recovering from a broken metatarsal.

On the other hand, Cardiff City manager Dave Jones says Robbie Fowler is thinking about trying to upset Liverpool on Wednesday when he returns to his former club. Liverpool fans still fondly call Fowler by his nickname 'God', even though the 32-year-old first departed almost six years ago, sold to Leeds in November 2001. Jones said that Fowler had an unbelievable career at Liverpool football club, was brought up locally and had fantastic achievements.

Rafa Benitez was the Liverpool manager who brought Fowler back from Manchester City in January 2006, but released the player six months later. This is because he believes that Fowler could no longer perform at the top of the Premier League but he still regards Fowler as a real threat to Liverpool on the Wednesday match against Cardiff.

Manchester United welcome Fulham to Old Trafford on Monday December 3rd in their next Premier League fixture.

Man United will have observed how the other teams at the summit of the Premiership table perform over the weekend and could find themselves six points behind Arsenal before kick off, with the Gunners also having a game in hand to play. Chelsea could also overtake the Red Devils if they collect three points against West Ham on Saturday.

Following United's shock 1-0 defeat at Bolton, the pressure will be on Ales Ferguson's side to gain three vital points. They will be well rested after having the unusual luxury of having six days between fixtures following their match with Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League.

There should be a recall into the squad for Ronaldo, who was left out of the 16 man squad that faced Bolton Wanderers last Saturday. With the side loosing away from home, the fans were shocked to see one of their most dangerous players sitting in the stands, unavailable for action.

Carlos Tevez, who missed that glorious chance against Bolton should retain his place in the side, however strike partner Louis Saha may be moved back to the substitute's bench. His replacement in the line up could be none other than Wayne Rooney, who has been pushing himself hard to return to the side following his injury.

There should also be a place for Nemanja Vidic who missed the last match due to international commitments. Vidic and Ferdinand have a superb pairing at the heart of the defence and could be joined by Gary Neville, who has been kicking his heels waiting to get back into the side following a lengthy lay off.

Fulham under Lawrie Sanchez have proved to be a much different proposition compared to last season. At home they have been unlucky not to collect more points than they have done, but are still yet to improve their points tally away from Craven Cottage.

They enter this game having drawn four out of their last five games, the other match in that sequence was a 2-0 defeat at Anfield.

Sanchez is building a competitive side, that is dangerous on the counter attack. Upfront they boast David Healy, who recently broke the European Championship qualifying goal scoring record whilst on duty for Northern Ireland and Clinton Dempsey is beginning to work well.

Fulham are likely to employ a 4-5-1 system with Healy supported by Mohammed Karama and American international Clinon Dempsey. If required they can bring on veteran target man Shefki Kuqi, who is on loan from Crystal Palace or the quick Hameur Bouazza should he not be given a starting place in the side.

This was the opening fixture for the two teams last season with Manchester United thrashing the team that was then led by Chris Coleman 5-1. United were quick out of the blocks that game and established a 4-0 lead with only 20 minutes gone with goals from Saha, Rooney, Ronaldo and an own goal by Ian Pearce.

Satan's little helpers (otherwise known as Manchester United), are at it again. Supporters jump on the jealousy bandwagon the minute a member of the real Reds (Liverpool) gets the recognition he truly deserves for his brilliance.

Can anyone honestly think of any British player deserving of an award other than Steven Gerrard? Frankly, no one (not even Frank Lampard) could possibly pull off the kind of match-winning abilities on display in the Champions League final and more recently the FA Cup final. Gerrard pulled his team up from certain defeat on both occasions to glory.

Gerrard is optimism personified. White Hart Lane has the slogan "To dare is to do"; well, Anfield should have "It isn't over til its over" on the stands in honour of Gerrard (Olympiakos, 86th minute). As the finest ambassador of British football, he thoroughly deserves his MBE. I can't think of any English player who does more for his team than Gerrard, unless Cristiano Ronaldo gets fast-tracked British citizenship, because, yes, he does influence games with his mesmerising dives.

Honestly, this type of envy could only come from Meanchester quarters and thats why Gerrard has the last laugh.

Steven Gerrard MBE (Mancs Be Envious)

To more moments of brilliance, I congratulate Gerrard and may this award spur him on to greater things - and more glory for the Red of Liverpool.

Do you think Steven Gerrard is English football's best ambassador? Sportingo would welcome your comments and insight.

Poker, unlike a number of other card games isn't just down to luck - it requires a great deal of skill, strategy and dexterity to become a master of the chips. Knowing your hand is only one part of the battle - understanding your opponents and the psychology of the game is quite another and it is this crucial element of the game that separates the men from the boys. Whether you're an experienced player or first timer on the poker circuit, learning how to effectively manipulate the psychology of your game could be the quickest way for you to both improve as a player and to win more money more regularly.

Before you can begin to come to terms with the psychology of the table, you must first become familiar with the psychology of your own game. Of course this initially demands an understanding of the technicalities of the game, but anyone can learn the basic rules in less than ten minutes. What you really need to focus on is learning when you need to fold and when you can afford to push the boundaries. Knowing when to quit isn't an easy skill to learn, but it is imperative if you want to become a top player, whether that's online or at a real poker table. Likewise understanding the nature of your table is vital to learning what other people are up to, with a view to cashing in at the end of the night.

A good poker player will be able to keep his calm under heavy losses. He'll be able to know how to ride out the storm and when to play more aggressively, against a range of opponents of different skill levels and experience. What it requires, more than the ability to play a good hand, is the ability to read opponents and to understand their moves. By knowing when your opponent is bluffing against your strong hand, you can easily raise the stakes and cash in, provided you're accurate in your assessment of the opposite hand.

Poker isn't rocket science - it's all about human nature and understanding the way in which people react in certain situations. A great deal of that is derived from experience, but a lot of it can also be derived from watching the outcomes of different poker hands, and games overall, before attempting to map out the wider ranging game plans of the top, successful players to improve your chances of success.

Playing poker isn't just about being fortunate enough to have a good hand. It's about knowing when to fold and when to push through, even when you've got nothing. It's about working the strategy of the game and intimidating your opponents into thinking you're on to a winner, even where you hand leaves a lot to be desired. Whoever said poker was a game of luck was barking up the wrong tree - in the words of the great golfer Gary Player, the more you practice, the luckier you get.

The optimal soccer warmup involves complex movements and dynamic stretching. You should always have a warm up session prior to any soccer training. While you are training to increase the overall effectiveness of your skill and technique in soccer, it is important to warm up the muscles throughout the body to ensure that you reduce the chance for injury. Soccer training is physically tolling on the body and you greatly increase your risk of injury if you fail to prepare the body prior to your workout. Possible injuries include muscle sprains, muscle strains and tears. I will share with you the overall importance of a warm up prior to soccer training in this article.

Muscles that have not been proper;y warmed up are often extremely tight. The tighter that a muscle is, the more chance it has of being damaged under tension. During soccer training, you introduce your body to a wide range of tense movements. Some of these movements include turning in a quick fashion, twisting in often unnatural ways, as well as simple and complicated stretching. These types of movements can result in numerous injuries. Some examples of these injuries include muscle sprains, strains throughout the various muscles, and even tears in the delicate tissue of the muscles.

The Optimal soccer warm up will create "warmness" throughout the muscles. These warm tissues are able to be more reactive than their cold counterparts. This reduces the amount of tension that the muscles naturally contain. Engaging in a our warm up prior to soccer training is a form of relief for the muscles. Furthermore, if muscles are relaxed, your soccer game benefits. The way that it benefits is that it increases the overall speed at which you are able to perform, the power at which you move, as well as the ability to maintain a higher level control of your techniques.

Optimal soccer warm ups include forward lunge and reach, back lunge and reach, side longes and diagonal lunges. These are all very good because they warm up the large leg muscles and make you stretch through your hips and core. You should also include 90-90s, scorpion stretches and sumo squats. Once you've gone through this circuit you should do some light ballwork to fully get the brain and body engaged.

Some of the ballwork that you might do to get started iincludes rotating the soccer ball with your foot in a circular motion. This is a great way to loosen up those muscles in the legs, ankles, and feet. You may wish to stretch out your arms by holding the ball over your head and moving it in different positions, such as side to side and front to back. Using the soccer ball in conjunction with your soccer training warm up sessions can be a very effective and exciting method.

Prior to the start of your soccer training, you need to engage in warm up activities such as these. Without proper warmups there is too much risk of injury.But with proper warmups optimal performance can be achieved.

Football game is a popular game in the U.S and number of supporters doubly increases for each season.

With the growing number of fans and supporters enormously growing, NFL sports merchandise also grows leaps and bound.

We can see NFL sports merchandise like NFL key chains for drivers, NFL ashtray for smokers, and NFL laptops for tech gadget lovers. There is also NFL jackets, hats, replica jerseys and personalized NFL jersey.

With all the sports goodies mentioned, the last one is the most favorite among fans because it can create more statement than the others.

As you see, not all fans has wheels to drive, not all are smokers and some had already own a laptop so the best merchandise is something that you can actually wear whether in the stadium or outside of it.

But though NFL jackets, hats and replica jersey are something that you can wear, nothing can still compare to the feeling of being proud with your personalized NFL jersey.

Personalized NFL jersey is a good investment because this is a good way to show your support to your team plus the fact that it can be personalized to your preference.

You can put your name or number that is special to you or can also be the number of your favorite player in the team.

But aside from adding personal touch to the jersey, personalizing it will really save you lots of money.

As we know players are being traded or sometimes there are involved in controversies that will be a problem.

For instance your favorite player is traded to another team? What will happen to the NFL replica or authentic jersey that you bought few months ago? It means you cannot wear that NFL jersey again.

Another situation is what if the player who wears the jersey was involved in a scandal? Do you still want to wear the replica jersey of the one who had the scandal? Of course not, so what is the best thing to do?

Ronaldinho could be the Thing as the way he has allowed his career to nosedive; he must really have bricks for brains.

Lionel Messi would be the human torch as when he is on form he really is on fire while Thierry Henry would be the Invisible woman as most Barcelona fans have failed to see the form he showed at Arsenal and he now plays like a girl.

Juventus fans would tell you that they have their Superman in Gianluigi Buffon because he does make some superhuman saves and out of his jersey he does look like a mild mannered geek but most opponents thankfully have not found kryptonite to get the better of him on a regular basis.

Arsenal fans would tell you that William Gallas is the incredible hulk and it is not good to make him angry and as Gael Clichy found out, he is not likable when he is angry. To be fair Jens Lehmann could be the incredible hulk as well but neither player seems to have a Bruce Banner within them.

Real Madrid fans would tell you that they have their own Spiderman in Iker Casillas because he is not very tall but he gets to places that he really should not and seems to have cobwebs where his hands should be. They would also tell you that they have their own version of the Invisible man as though they signed Christopher Metzelder but no one has seen him yet.

Manchester United fans would claim to have their own version of Batman and Robin with Cristiano Ronaldo being the caped crusaders as he carries the fight almost single-handedly to the opposition with various people like Carlos Tevez and Wayne Rooney playing the part of Robin depending if Batman needs help or not.

Wes Brown, who is about to sign a 60,000 a week contract is no doubt the Joker.

Arsenal fans will testify that they have the teenage mutant ninja turtles with Cesc Fabregas as Leonardo as he is the leader of the pack; Robin Van Persie would be Raphael as he is the bad boy of the group; Nicklas Bendtner could play Michelangelo to provide comic relief with his style of play; Theo Walcott could play Donatello and Arsene Wenger would be Master Splinter.
