2010 World Cup: History of the World Cup

мая 18, 2010

I will be taking a look at all 32 teams entered in the 2006 FIFA World Cup. Group F contains the overwhelming media favorites to repeat as champions, the Brazilians, along with Japan, Austrailia, and Croatia. Not the toughest of groups, but it is going to be very competitive 2-4.

Brazil
World Cup Appearances: 18th Appearance; Participated in Every World Cup
Best Finish: Champions (5 - 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994, 2002)
Key Players: Ronaldihno, MF; Ronaldo, F; Adriano, F; Roberto Carlos, D

Notes:

Are you ready for the Samba-style soccer that the Brazilians have made famous? As the Nike commercial featuring the defending champions says, “Joga Bonito! That means play beautiful, and they really do. It's not just the way they play, but the effectiveness of the way they play. This team is built for international play, with strong strikers, dynamic playmakers, and a strong defense. Can you find the weakness? Well, 31 other teams will be trying to find it. If they hope to compete, they'd better find it.

Qualifying was an interesting experience. They became the first defending champions needing to go through the qualifying stages of the World Cup ever, but they did not disappoint. They were the higest scoring team in qualifying and the second stingiest in goals allowed. Ronaldo led their group with 10 tallies. They also were unbeaten at home, which isn't too much of a feat considering that Brazilian fans can be the most supportive in the world. They did suffer one loss to their continental rivals, argentina, but more than made up for it by taking the top spot in the group and beating them in the finals of the FIFA Confederations Cup. That aside, they will return to the World Cup again, a place tournament which has seen them participate in the championship match the last three times, winning two of them (USA 1994 and Japan/Korea 2002).

Where do you begin with this team? Well, it starts for with Ronaldihno, the player who I consider the best in the world. He's incredible in almost all aspects of the game. He is almost supernatural with his ball control, performing moves in game situations that many cannot perform by themselves on the practice pitch. He'll switch from foot to foot with ease and is equally skilled with either. Come on, you've seen the Nike commercials. Anyone who is fabled to have scored 23 goals in one game when he was younger can be considered a talented player to say the least. He is always at least fun to watch and plays with such a joy and passion for the game.

Ronaldo, meanwhile, is still one of the top strikers in the world, mentioned in the same breath as Thierry Henry or Michael Owen. He's scored 59 career goals in international play, and is almost at the century mark for international caps for the Brazilian team. He's a three-time FIFA Player of the Year and has been a part of two World Cup championship sides. Ronaldo, however, does not come without controversy. He's been known to be plagued with more than just the occasional knicks and scratches, and sometimes it is questioned whether or not he is applying full effort on the pitch. His defenders are quick to point out, however, that although it may seem as though there is no effort, Ronaldo possesses so much skill that it only appears as though there is no effort. He has rewarded the Brazilian national side's faith in him, scoring 8 goals in 2002's WC in their 7 games.

They are solid all over the field. They've got Adriano, who himself is a world-class striker and compliments Ronaldo well in the attacking third. Their defense is solid, and Dida in goal rightfully takes his place amongst the world's best. The Brazilians definitely play beautiful, and we'll have to see whether anyone can stop them. When you're the favorite and the defending champions, other teams have to stop you, not the other way around.

Japan
World Cup Appearances: 3rd Appearance; 3rd Consecutive
Best Finish: Last Sixteen (2002)
Key Players: Hidetoshi Nakata, MF; Shunsuke Nakamura, MF

Notes:

Japan enters the 2006 WC Finals as the Asian champion, and although they've had trouble at times asserting themselves consistently, they were eventually able to be the first team from the region to qualify for the World Cup. Led by former Brazilian legend Zico, the Japanese are looking to make a bigger splash in this finals than in the ones that they hosted four years ago. They've steadily improved their finish in each of their first two World Cups, and look to continue the improvement in Germany.

They finished off qualifying with a game to spare despite struggling in their final round opener against Korea and losing a match in Iran 2-1. You can say that Japan has the best midfield of any Asian team. Three of their primary players are European-based, and the fourth is a bonafide star in Japan's J-League.

They are led by two-time Asian Player of the Year Hidetoshi Nakata, who has played professionally in Europe in Italy and England since 1998. He's a gifted combination of playmaker and ball-handler, and he will definitely be one of the biggest keys to Japan's success or failure. Some regard Nakata as the best player that Japan has ever produced. Shunsuke Nakamura and Shinji Ono are the other mids who are based in Europe, and they both bring the same playmaking ability and instincts that make them so formidable. Although Ono is back in Japan now, he made his name in Europe playing in the Netherlands, and has brought back his European experience to Japan and are now working on integrating some of those philosophies to the national side. Nakamura will be vital to the Japanese offense.

They aren't as dynamic up-front, despite the brilliance of the midfielders. They rely on Masashi Oguro to provide the scoring for the team. They just don't have that natural striker that can score when needed. Former coach Philippe Troussier even tried to shift some of the midfield talent they have to the striking position, but no one was able to take the huge burden. If they can either get great play from the midfielders and have them carry the team, or they will be hard-pressed to apply pressure to the stronger teams in their group.

Croatia
World Cup Appearances: 3rd Appearance; 3rd Consecutive
Best Finish: 3rd Place (1998)
Key Players: Niko Cranjcar, MF; Dado Prso, F

Notes:

The Croatians were able to finish group qualifying at the top of their group, tied with rival Sweden but holding the head-to-head difference. They were undefeated in 10 total matches, notching victories in 7. They now return to the World Cup for the third time since they separated from Yugoslavia in 1991 and having joined FIFA the following year. They were able, in their first appearance, to finish third in the entire finals, defeating the Netherlands to ensure their place. They were able to defeat Italy, but losses to Mexico and Ecuador sent them home early. They head to Germany with a repeat of 1998 on their minds, not of 2002.

If they are to do that, they will need the scoring prowess of their star striker, Dado Prso. He blossomed late compared to other football players worldwide, but this striker has been able to gain a little international notoriety. This came, largely in part, to his performance in a UEFA Champions game when he tallied four times en route to leading the team to the finals in 2004. Most strikers, especially European-based ones, are usually noticed early and developed by playing in the minor leagues of some of the top European divisions. He became discouraged after going to France and even quit football for a while. But he was able to work his way back into France's top division until a knee injury once again forced him down. But he once again fought back and is now playing in Scotland for the Glaskow Rangers. He will be key for the Croatians, as he must find the scoresheet early and often for them to have a shot at advancing.

Being the coach's son is always a challenge, at any level. But try playing for your father on a national World Cup team. That's the situation that Nico Cranjcar. is in with the Croatian team. Instead of having difficulty assimilating to the role, he's embraced it. Cranjcar is the leader of the team. He's a throwback to the old Croatian midfielders, the golden age of the attacking mids. Most of the Croatian mids right now are defensive-minded, and with Kranjcar, he's more offensive than the others. He's a solid playmaker with the ability to put pinpoint passes on the feet of players like Prso up front.

Croatia will need to be fast in the midfield to compete with their group. Japan's skill in the middle, and Brazil with Ronaldihno and Co will be tough to mark and keep up with. If they can score early, Croatia can play well from ahead. But from behind with a lack of quality offensive minds in the midfield, it will be a problem.

Austrailia
World Cup Appearances: 2nd Appearance; Last - 1974
Best Finish: Group Stages (1974)
Key Players: Tim Cahill, MF; Mark Schwarzer, GK

Notes:

This is the second time around for the Austrailians, and they hope that this time they'll be able to get out of the group stages. The last time the Socceroos qualified for the WC finals, they were held in Germany as well. This team had to go to international play-offs before securing their spot in the finals. They had little trouble in the preliminary rounds, dominating their Oceania group with 4 wins and 1 draw in five matches. They also defeated the Solomon Islands 9-1 in their two match series to determine who would play the South American fourth place team for the right to qualify for the WC finals. They needed penalties to defeat Uraguay, but they accomplished the task and are now in Germany.

They will rely on a team that has a lot of their key players playing in England, which seems to be the preferred destination for Austrailian nationals. They are led by their goalkeeper, Mark Schwarzer, who is widely considered one of the best goalkeepers in the Premiership. He was huge in the Uruguay match during the penalties. Schwarzer is a consistent goaltender who is great with angles and knows when to challenge shooters and when to sit back and play the ball. The key to his performance is his confidence and ability to shake mistakes and bad breaks off quickly without it affecting his play.

Out on the field, they rely on a battery of solid players at all three phases of the field. One of the key players is Tim Cahill, the midfielder who plays his club football in Everton of the Premiership. He's got this knack for showing up when defenders and opponents sleep on his position on the field and are off on their marks. He scores important and game-changing goals on such a consistent basis that it's a wonder that he still continually finds himself so open so often. He's equally dangerous with his head as he is with his feet, and is amazing accurate with his head in any situation. He's one of the best scoring mids in the Premiership and the Aussies' chances are riding on his leadership and performance in the midfield.

Can they score effectively. We know that Schwarzer will be able to hold his own, at least be solid in goal, and they will have to support him in the defensive third and tally enough for them to win. If they can, they could make their way out of group stages and into the elimination stages. If we are to assume that the Brazilians take the top spot in this group, then we'll have to see who will be able to capture second. The Aussies have a prime oppotunity to make that jump.

Little is known about national team from North Korea.

Thanks to the secretive nature of communist North Korea, the abilities of their national team competing in the 2010 FIFA World Cup are somewhat unknown, although they did enjoy a good World Cup qualifying campaign.

They finished second in their group behind their neighbors, South Korea, and ahead of Saudi Arabia on goal difference. Their reward was hardly a friendly welcome back to the World Cup, with Brazil, Portugal, and the Ivory Coast all teams of the highest quality.

The last time North Korea made it this far was in 1966. Such was the impact made by the players (including, apparently, on the local young ladies) in the north of England that a superb documentary following the surviving teammates, ‘The Game of Their Lives,’ was made in 2002.

Coincidentally, the game they are remembered for was against their opponents for 2010, Portugal. 3-0 up after 25 minutes of their quarter-final, North Korea were first pegged back and then destroyed by the power of the peerless Eusebio, who scored four in an eventual 5-3 win.

The good performances by North Korean women’s teams at international age group World Cups, winners at under-17 level and runners-up at under-20, is indicative of the fact that the country has football talent and good coaching. However, some of their results in 2009 were not as encouraging.

There were a couple of head-scratching defeats mixed in among what was generally a good run of results; a 1-0 loss to Lebanon at home and a 4-1 defeat in Zambia topped the list. Overall, in 2009, North Korea won six matches, drew four, and lost three.

North Korea’s strength is a stingy defense that allowed only 7 goals throughout their entire qualifying campaign, but then again, they weren’t facing offenses featuring FIFA’s World Player of the Year for 2007 (Kaka, Brazil), 2008 and runner-up 2009, Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal), or Ivory Coast’s all-time top scorer, Didier Drogba.

They emerged from the third round of qualifying unbeaten and without conceding a single goal, yet still finished second in Group 3 behind South Korea based on goal differential, which may demonstrate a lack of attacking options.

North Korea’s biggest obstacle, however (other than the Group of Death itself), is their lack of international experience, with the mainstay of their squad plying their trade domestically, but this could also work in their favor since opponents will not be used to their style of play.

North Korea’s key players are Russian-based forward Hong Yong-Jo, the team’s captain, he is the only member of the squad who plays professionally in Europe and he will have to repeat the form that saw him score 4 goals during AFC qualifying if his side hopes to compete in South Africa. He is joined up top by Jong Tae-Se, an explosive threat with a fierce shot and the strength to brush off opposing defenders, inspiring the media to dub him the ”Asian Wayne Rooney.”

North Korea FIFA World Cup

Finally, Sweden had an easy passage into the quarter-finals with Austria technically no longer a country. FIFA offered England to take Austria’s place, but the FA promptly refused the invitation. The Scandinavians would then truly back it up, thumping Cuba 8-0 following quarter-final victories to Italy and Hungary over the French and Swiss respectively.

Despite the greater problems that were developing out of Europe, there were to be many battles on the pitch, with none more bruising than the quarter-final encounter between Brazil and Czechoslovakia. Three players were sent off, and the Czechs lost Oldrich Nejedlý and František Plánicka to broken limbs from bone-crunching collisions.

The match ended in a 1-1 draw and was replayed amid plenty of anticipation of more fireworks to come. However, both teams made several enforced changes (14 in all) and the match was played out in a much more pleasant manner – Brazil prevailing this time, 2-1.

The Final Four of the 1938 FIFA World Cup

The semi-finals were both expected to be one-sided affairs; on one hand, Italy looked fresh. On the other, Brazil looked exhausted. However, many viewed Brazil as the dark-horse in what was the start of a wonderful football rivalry; that was until they left out its playmaker and leading goal scorer, Leônidas. Without him, Brazil’s offensive play was limp and lacked penetration. Italy duly took advantage winning, 2-1, to reach the World Cup final for the second consecutive occasion.

In the other encounter, Hungary looked to be a class above Sweden, and it definitely showed with the former achieving a clinical 5-1 win to book their spot in the World Cup final for the first time in their history.

The 1938 FIFA World Cup Final

The score of the third World Cup final played out like it did in 1930. However, the style of football employed emulated the 1934 edition – rampaging Italian strength versus Hungarian finesse and intricacies. Yet the two major differences were heavily in Italy’s favour. The Italians had become a more athletic outfit in comparison to their 1934 squad, and they had finally unearthed a skilled forward in Silvio Piola.

The Azzurri came out of the blocks taking their opportunities in opening a 3-1 half-time lead. From there, the defending champions engaged in playing a defensive style of football in order to safeguard their lead – 4-2 the final score, with Piola scoring a brace for the now two-time world champions.

The Italians celebrated, with Mussolini emerging from the crowd. End-to-end smiles and Fascist salutes were now the order of the day as Italian coach, Vittorio Pozzo, held the World Cup for the second time in his illustrious career – a truly unforgettable moment in World Cup history.

Fitness is crucial for all soccer players. The most important fitness components in soccer include aerobic capacity, flexibility, strength, power and speed. From these fitness components aerobic capacity and strength can be improved the most by physical training, whereas genetics play a large role in determining flexibility, power and speed. The focus of this discussion will be on fitness tests and training to improve a player's fitness for soccer (with an emphasize on physical fitness and not on soccer skills).

Fitness testing for soccer
Testing of a soccer player's conditioning should be done regularly so that the effects and progress of training can be measured. Ideally a fitness testing battery would be designed for a team (or for individual players if their roles in the game are significantly different) and performed before and after training blocks of two to three months.

In soccer a player's aerobic capacity is essential for all roles other than goalkeeper. The most appropriate test to measure aerobic capacity are time trials or the beep test. The time trial would be between 3 and 5 kilometres of continuous running at maximal effort. The beep test which is effectively a shuttle run of 20 metres back and forth to exhaustion is more specific than a time trial for soccer fitness as it also demands a good degree of agility.

Strength is important in contests for the ball and running/kicking form. Tests for strength would include maximal strength tests where the player lifts as much weight as they can in a single effort. These would be focused on the core muscles abdominals, hamstrings and quadriceps.

Fitness scores in aerobic capacity and strength should be the focus of training and improvement but the following fitness components may also be tested:
Flexibility static stretches of hamstrings
Power maximum vertical and horizontal jumps
Speed sprints eg. 10, 50 and 100 metres
Agility timed around a course of cones

Training for soccer
After testing players fitness with the above tests the results should be analysed to determine their strengths and weaknesses. The focus of their training should then be to maintain (or improve) their strengths and turn their weaknesses into strengths. Most of the training should involve running (say 60-70%) at various speeds (developing aerobic capacity, power and speed), gym work for strength (10-15%), and flexibility (5-10%). The goalkeeper would probably focus more on agility, power and speed with much less emphasise on aerobic capacity. Drills to improve soccer skills and tactics would be integrated into the program so that fitness and skill level are developed at the same time.

Here is a very brief example of a training program for a soccer player:
Off-season (1-2 months):
- easy running (1-2 days per week)
- strength work (1-2 days per week)
- speed/power development (1-2 a week) (can be done following easy run)
Pre-season (1-3 months)
- easy run (2-4 a week)
- strength work (3-4 days per week)
- speed/power (2-4 a week)
- flexibility, agility, skills should be incorporated into sessions
In season (5-7 months)
- soccer game (1-2 a week)
- easy runs (3-5 a week)
- speed power (3-4 a week)
- flexibility and agility worked on every second day
- skills (6-7 days a week)

Soccer fitness is important and as has been discussed it can be improved significantly by training. To ensure training has a positive impact on a players condition always test their fitness before and after blocks of training and come game day they should be at their best.

“What makes Mollie so great is she’s the most humble of players,” said Pete Sadin, Pathman’s coach with the Triangle FC club program. “Knowing her status with the national teams, she doesn’t take anything for granted. She keeps working on her game and it translates on the field. She is nonstop as a worker.”

Pathman has signed a National Letter of Intent to play soccer on scholarship at Duke University this fall.

deu:Hier ist der Offizielle Song/Lied zur FIFA WM 2010! in Süd afrika eng:Here is the official song for the FIFA World Cup 2010! South Africa

2010, Gang, Instrumentals, Official, Song, Theme, Yeah

Fussball-WM-2010 in Südafrika – Es wird langsam immer spannendender. In ca. fünf Wochen beginnt das Eröffnungsspiel der Fussball-Weltmeisterschaft 2010 im Südafrika (Johannesburg) und die ganze Fußballnation fiebert dem ersten Spiel der deutschen Nationalmannschaft entgegen.

Mit welcher Startformation Joachim Löw im Auftaktspiel zur WM 2010 der deutschen Nationalmannschaft gegen Australien antreten wird, wurde am Donnerstag Mittag in Stuttgart noch nicht bekannt gegeben, aber wer sich berechtigte Hoffnungen auf eine “Flugreise” zur WM 2010 nach Südafrika machen darf – wurde nun bekannt.

Neben dem Bayern-Block sind auch die Dortmunder Mats Hummels und Kevin Grosskreutz, sowie der Gladbacher Marco Reus und Leverkusens Reinartz im erweiterten KWM 2010 Kader von Bundestrainer Joachim Löw dabei. Bis zum 1. Juni 2010 hat Joachim Löw Zeit, dann entgültig die 23 WM2010-Spieler benennen, die zur WM-2010 in Südafrika mitnimmt.(pm)

Der vorläufige WM-2010-Kader von Bundestrainer Joachim Löw:

WM-2010-Tor:

Butt(für verletzten Adler), Neuer, Wiese

WM-2010-Abwehr:

Mertesacker, Westermann, Lahm, Boateng, Beck, Arne Friedrich, Tasci, Jansen, Badstuber, Aogo

WM-2010-Mittelfeld:

Ballack, Khedira, Trochowski, Marin, Özil, Schweinsteiger, Träsch, Kroos

WM-2010-Sturm:

Podolski, Klose, Kiessling, Cacau, Müller, Gomez

WM 2010 in Excel und Outlook

Wer, wie ich, seine Termine rund um die WM 2010 planen muss, der tut sich bei den vielen Spielen manchmal recht schwer, den Überblick zu bewahren.

Meine Kollegen aus der Office-Truppe haben dafür die Lösung: Excel und Outlook-Termine zum kostenfreien Download.

Mehr Infos gibt es hier.

ich kaufe mir zwar die spiele zwar nicht wegen den trophäen, aber ich versuche trotzdem bei jedem spel platin zu bekommen. das problem ist nur, wie BVBdede schon gesagt hat, dass viele spiele einfach viel zu zeitaufwändig sind, aber die trophäen eigentlich nicht schwer zu holen sind. für mich ist das spiel mit den besten trophäen eindeutig wipeout hd. auch wenn man vielleicht etwas länger braucht, sind die trophäen an sich nicht zeitaufwändig. zb.: unterbiete die vorgegebene zeitangabe von 30,82 sekunden ! natürlich schafft man sowas nicht beim ersten verusch, aber es ist alle male besser, als sowas wie "spiele 50 stunden". meiner meinung nach sollten trophäen dafür da sein, um zu zeigen, dass man irgendwas schweres geschafft hat und nicht, dass man einfach nur ne bestimmte zeit vor der konsole gesessen hat.

I was never an athlete. If you had to peg me during a time when pegging is necessary, I would be a nerd.

You can imagine my surprise when I signed my older son up for soccer. They wanted me to coach!

I refrained from asking “are you high? I am lucky to recognize a soccer ball!” I had honestly only come to vote in favor of our libraries, but they were there and I said to myself, Tater doesn't interact with his peers nearly enough now that the libraries have shut down. Soccer would be good for him!

I signed him up for soccer, amidst the hard sell of volunteering from the folks handing out the shin guards.

“Let me see if this is right for him, and then I can tell you.”

I know nothing about soccer. Nothing. There are goals, that I do know.

I encouraged my son to kick the ball across the yard. Here comes his brother….. and he grabs it with his hands and runs!

There are no hands in soccer. This will be interesting!

But lo and behold, my son loved soccer. He thought his coach was the greatest guy ever, and Coach is a great guy. I liked him from the start. He seemed to be about on my page of “soccer parent 101.” He told me at this age, the snack is the big thing. He was right.

On our way home from a practice, Tater tells me that Coach is a really good guy. And he said I did great out there!

So from my observations, Coach knew little about soccer, and my son loves him.

I can honestly say that it had been someone with a stricter temperament, we would have been gone.

My son was never going to be a soccer star, at least not in the next few years. But he likes trying.

I was easy game when Coach mentioned volunteering for the next year. My son obviously enjoys this, and since volunteers keep things going, I said sure. We can do something next year. Then he brings up soccer camp during a conference for the parents,

Come to the board meeting, we can find out where you will fit.

I am thinking I will be secretary, since I am a good typer.

After some uncomfortable introductions and needs that have to be met speech, I find myself in charge of fundraising. This makes sense to me, because one person can handle it all better than five who never follow up because they don't have time.

It becomes more difficult down the line.

I attend the AYSO Regional Conference in Michigan, and I realize that this is more than I thought.

But it also teaches me something, and I guess that is why I attended.

AYSO has five principles, and I know they why they are important to me. I am a mother. I read about the violence happening in youth sports. I looked at my son and realized that while he enjoys sports, like his father, he is a lot like me, a non competitor. At age four, my son may not be a contender, but given time, my husband's genes might win out.

1) Everyone Plays

This is important. If you saw my son on the soccer field this year, gazing at the clouds, you would bench him. He is 4.

2) Balanced teams

My experience with the 4-5 year olds did not show this until we ran into another team that had the youngest sibling of a soccer family. Wow. You could have put our team's best boy on the field with their team's best boy, and it would have been bet-worthy.

Along the way, everyone played. It did not matter if you were gazing at the clouds or weeds most of the game. You played. I suppose this is a given in a small town, with minimal enrollment, but each child had their chance to daydream on the field.

3) Open registration

It did not matter that my kid had never played soccer before. As long as I had the fee for registration, he was in.

4) Positive coaching

The positive coaching is felt even off the field. We want our kids to have FUN playing soccer. Parents cheer for the other team getting a goal! This is supposed to be FUN, and we are all held to those standards. You do not yell at the ref or coach. You are there to SUPPORT the game, not undermine it.

My son telling me that his coach was great, even though Tater was obviously not going to be the team's star, very cool.

5) Good sportsmanship

Being a good sport and playing by the rules is very important. Cheating and trash talk don't hold rank in every sport, and it is nice to have my boy in one that discourages such thing.

I told myself, it doesn't matter much what I think at this point.

My boy has found a supportive sport that doesn't involve the parents degrading them or the coach belittling them.

I can only be supportive of such an endeavor.

I can also make sure that Tater's adventure into sports is always as positive as AYSO has provided so far.

Wow this came from nowhere. Go ahead and update Bing and guess what? Turn by turn navigation for driving (or walking). It reads out street names and guides you just like you’d expect. I’ve gotten to the point of entering a location and it prompting me to start…but I’m in an office so I haven’t actually tried it in a real environment but it was speaking to me as expected. By the way, I’d expect this to come to WP7 in the same flavor. It’s the same coding in the background so I’d assume this will be live.

If you have Bing just turn it on and wait to be prompted for the update…be patient. Otherwise, here’s a direct download link you can use from your phone: static.appserver.m.bing.net/binaries/winmo/v1/Bing.CAB

Of course, you need a constant data connection for this but it’s free.

Great stuff. via PocketNow

Product Review: Microsoft Notebook Cooling Base

мая 12, 2010

Elektrischer Rasierer bei Amazon bestellen

Moleskine Notebooks have been enshrined in legend as the notebook used by Oscar Wilde, Hemingway, Picasso, Matisse, Van Gogh and several others. In the modern era, they were known to be used by British novelist and travel writer, Bruce Chatwin. Today, there are several varieties of Moleskine notebooks on the market and they can be found in your neighborhood stationary stores, bookstores, art stores and are even carried by large chains such as Barnes and Noble. Many customers wonder, are they the direct descendant of a long creative tradition or a modern copycat profiting from good association?

They are not direct descendants of the original Moleskine brand, but many artists and writers feel that their quality and tradition have been carried on in the spirit of the name and still refuse to use any other brand. Originally produced by a tradition of French bookbinders, the last manufacturers closed down production in 1986. So hugely popular, it was said that those who could afford to, ordered and stockpiled hundreds of the notebooks in an effort to keep their supply.

In 1998, an Italian company Modo e Modo, revived and started producing the product line again, modeling them after the original designs and features that made the Moleskine notebooks famous. They have since expanded their line to include different styles, shapes, bindings, and even differences in the stock (paper) that are designed for artists working in a variety of mediums. The current Moleskine website states:

“With its various different page styles it accompanies the creative professions and has become a symbol of contemporary nomadism.
Moleskine is a family of notebooks for different functions, according with a free mindstyle, both basic and emotional.”

And very many free minds and creative types are indeed catching on to these little books and becoming lifetime devotees. In fact, the brand has built up a kind of cult-following amongst artists, travelers, writers, scholars, students, bohemians and a modern twist on an old craft - the recent trend of scrap-booking. There are user groups devoted to Moleskine loyalists on social networking sites myspace, facebook and friendster. One popular website, Moleskine Art has international news, links and a forum where users can share stories, as well as an exhibition project where people can send in art produced in Moleskine notebooks. Another site, Moleskinerie posts stories and photographs from various contributors and co-sponsors give-aways where you can win your very own.

For those of you who are unacquainted with the line of Moleskine notebooks, here is a brief introduction of the varieties that are available:

Pocket notebooks are 3.5 by 5.5 inches. They are available with ruled, squared, or plain paper. In this size, they also make address books, info book, sketchbook, storyboard (heavier paper), Japanese pocket albums (which fold-out accordion style) and memo pockets (six pockets instead of paper).

Large notebooks are 5.25 by 8.25 inches. As with the pocket size, they are available in ruled, squared, plain, and address book, sketchbook, and memo pockets.

Cahier notebooks are thinner with a softbound cover and come in packs of three. They are available in three sizes; pocket, large and extra large (7.5 by 9.75 inches).

Diaries or date-books come in pocket and large sizes. Several daily, weekly, mixed-planner and monthly versions are available for all your schedule planning and keeping needs.

Reporter style is similar to the regular notebooks but are bound at the top.

City Notebooks are an entire line of tabbed notebooks in which you can record notes while traveling, therefore creating your own self-written guidebook to a city. They contain full maps of each city and street indexes, as well as tabs and categories for food, places, arts and culture and local sights and legends. These are available for Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin, Dublin, Lisbon, London, Madrid, Milan, Paris, Prague, Rome, Wien, Boston, New York, San Francisco and Washington DC. More cities are set to be released in Fall 2007.

Whether you are an artist, writer, student, traveler or even just a busy person who needs to keep track of notes, dates and phone numbers - there appears to be a size and style of Moleskine to meet your needs. So give it a try and see if it lives up to the hype. If nothing else, its a good conversation starter in a coffeehouse, to say that you are using a notebook of legend.

SAMSUNG LAUNCHES P-SERIES BUSINESS NOTEBOOK FOR PROFESSIONALS ON THE GO

P580 combines state-of-the-art technology and unrivalled performance

LONDON, UK – May 11, 2010 – Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., a market leader in consumer electronics and world leader in IT technology, today announces the launch of the Samsung P580, a new addition to its highly successful P-Series of professional laptops and notebooks. The P580 has been designed to offer busy professionals the very latest, state-of-the-art connectivity, reliability and security to help them maintain productivity whilst on the move.

Samsung's new 15.6″ P580 notebook has been designed to be the perfect IT companion for workers on the go or those looking for a high performing notebook for the home office. The P580 features a classic Samsung cutting edge design, packaged in a highly durable, tactile, sleek and lightweight chassis that makes remote or mobile working easy and pleasurable.

Graham Long, Vice President of Samsung's IT Business Division, said: “Business users expect practicality coupled with performance at a price that won't break the bank. Whether you're at home, in the office or on the go, the new notebook is the perfect business tool for those who want a first class PC experience.”

Landmark new features include next generation processor performance from Intel's new Core i3 Processor (Calpella), NVIDIA's latest GeForce GT Graphics processor and a stunning, non-gloss LED backlit LCD display. The P580 is also protected by heightened industry-standard security, making it the obvious choice for business users looking to gain a competitive edge.

Samsung's new P580 notebook is one of the most technologically advanced, competitively priced, professional notebooks on the market today. Featuring the new, super-fast Intel Calpella Platform with integrated Intel Core i5 Processor, Samsung's new notebook offers the kind of speed, performance and reliability usually found only on a desktop PC.

Most notable is the ease with which users can multi-task, allowing them to work across multiple applications simultaneously with no 'screen-freeze' or lag.

The model features market-leading NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M graphics cards and a dedicated 1GB gDDR3 memory which, combined with the stunning LED backlit display, offer improved clarity and speed whilst conserving battery power.

The device comes with Windows® 7 Professionalas standard, offering all the benefits of Microsoft's latest OS such as 20 percent faster booting time and greater efficiencies in power and memory consumption; key considerations for mobile workers. Nanocell sound reduction technology ensures near-silent running at all times.

The Samsung P580 exhibits a stunning 'comfort-grip' chassis, featuring a stylish and modern-looking rubber paint which makes the device extremely hard-wearing and scratch-resistant. The device's good look is also resistant to shock damage as the chassis is protected by a free-fall sensor which freezes applications to protect the notebook if dropped.

The non-gloss HD LED backlit LCD display is easy on the eye. The Isolate Keyboard features 17-key, full-sized numeric keypads which make typing and calculating really easy.

Samsung's P580 notebook has been designed to give users the reassurance and peace-of-mind that its data will be protected wherever it is. The model features a host of security features including Phoenix FailSafe, a theft-deterrent service that offers users the ability to protect, track and manage their notebook, should it be stolen or lost. If data is compromised, users can retrieve and erase any critical material remotely – ensuring that thieves cannot view sensitive documents. Users are also able to secure their data with both BIOS and HDD passwords*.

Samsung's new notebook claims a number of new features which makes it a pleasure to use. Connecting to the Internet could not be easier as the device offers Wi-Fi or LAN, high speed USB 2.0 or eSATA connection, allowing users to share files quickly and easily. eSATA connectivity is supported by an external HDD, allowing the reading and writing of data at a speed of up to 3Gb per second, while enhanced Bluetooth 2.1 featuring Enhanced Data Rate (EDR) transmission makes paring of devices swift and easy.

The USB 2.0 port can also be used to charge other external devices such as mobile phones or MP3 players – even if the notebook is switched off - perfect for business travelers who need to charge devices whilst they rest.

The status of the notebook computer is very different than a few years ago. The technology has evolved and the computers have evolved as well. The computers are no longer extremely big and with limited capabilities when it comes to performance. They are capable of performing various tasks and what is more important is the fact that the computers are getting smaller and lighter but more powerful from a performance point of view. The notebook computers for example are now capable of performing almost the same tasks as the desktop computers while having a reduced size.

The notebooks are getting more and more popular mainly because of their portability. Many people prefer nowadays to buy a notebook computer instead of a desktop computer. They can use the notebook computer both indoors and outdoors for almost the same tasks. The prices of the notebook computes have dropped a lot in the lost period of time and this is another reason for the increase in popularity. Even so there are some people who can’t afford buying a new notebook. These people opt to buy used notebook computers instead.

In what follows I am going to give you some information about the used notebook computers. The truth is that the used notebook computers are not too great and there are various reasons for why I say that. First of all since the notebook computer is used it means that it has been used for at least 12 months. If you didn’t know this, 12 months in the world of the computers is a lot because the technology advances very fast. Components which were powerful one year ago will in most of the cases not be as great now because during this time new and better components have appeared.

If you want to use the notebook computer for very simple tasks then such a computer might be OK for you but most of the people would want a computer which would be able to provide a powerful performance as well and an old one will not be able to do it. Another problem when buying a used computer is the fact that it does not have the warranty. This means that if it gets broken you will have two choices: pay for the repair or throw it away. The owner will tell you how old the computer is but most likely he will not tell you how much damage the computer suffered when it was in his possession.

There are too many risks when buying a used computer. You pay money on outdated technology which might break after a couple of months after the purchase. This was my opinion on the used notebook computers.

Meet the latest Notebook from Panasonic namely the ‘Toughbook 31′ that it’s claimed to the ‘Most Powerful Fully-Rugged Notebook’. The most interesting thing about this Notebook is a full magnesium alloy case that it’s offer up to 6 feet of water and dust protection.

The Panasonic Toughbook 31 Powerful Fully-Rugged Notebook is powered by an Intel Core i3 or i5 Processor, features a 13.1-inch LED-backlit display (running on Radeon HD 5650 graphics) with 1024×768 pixel resolution and Touchscreen capability, up to 8GB of installed RAM, two different of hard drive capacity such as 160 or 250GB as well as 802.11 a/b/g/n WiFi support , built-in Bluetooth 2.1 for make connection with other devices and optional 3G also included.

If you’re searching for the best rugged mobile computer to help you for work with richer data in a variety of challenging environments, the checkout the Panasonic Toughbook 31 (price at $3,799) that I am think that it’s a great choice for you .

I'll bet I'm not the only one whose first thought upon waking (early) this morning was “GAME SEVEN!!!” This is so exciting, but now that I've totally bought into this magical run, it's going to be awfully hard to accept if it ends tonight. Random Habs-related thoughts on Game Seven Day:

-History will be made. Yes, NHL, it will be made, and it was a really nice idea to do the ad campaign featuring some of the league's greatest playoff moments. Roy's fabulous OT in his rookie year that led to a Cup win, Bobby Orr flying through the air, Yzerman starting the Wings' great decade of winning and Messier hoisting his first Cup as captain are all memorable, even historic hockey moments. But, typical of NHL marketers who wouldn't know a dead horse if they kicked it for a week, they've ruined the concept with all the versions of the ads they're making for this year's playoffs. Okay, Jaro Halak's 53 saves in Game Five against Washington probably is one for the ages, but Max Lapierre scoring a goal? Come on! It was a very pretty goal, but it was scored in Game Six of the second round. It's not exactly a Cup winner. If the Habs lose tonight, it will certainly be history because nobody will remember it by October when we're all wondering why the hell Lapierre got a new contract after he's been invisible for ten games. I'm waiting for the one with a ref's arm in the air and the Pens scoring on an undeserved delayed penalty. The caption will be “What if Sidney didn't bitch?”

-If the Habs win this game tonight, they have a very good chance to make the Finals for the first time in seventeen years. I'm afraid to think very far ahead, but you have to think that after the Caps and Pens, Philly or Boston would be tough, but not terrifyingly better-on-paper opposition. Then again, they both play the physical style that seems to really stump the Habs.

-If the Habs lose tonight, I think the worst thing will be that all of this will be forgotten by the critics in a year or so, when they talk about how the Habs have failed to emerge from the second round of the playoffs since '93. It won't matter that this group of players gave everything they had and that they defied the odds for game after game. On paper, it'll be just another second-round loss proving how Gainey failed to build a winner. Nobody will point out the level of opposition the Habs have faced, or the injuries through which they've fought. Nobody will remember the blocked shots, heroic goaltending or clutch scoring. And that's too bad. This year deserves a better fate.

-I wonder if this series will change the public perspective of Sidney Crosby? We all know he started his career as a serious whiner, but the image of the humble champion he portrayed at the Olympics convinced a lot of people the Kid had grown up. This series, though, has attracted a great many viewers who don't necessarily get to watch Crosby for prolonged periods of time. It's also featured countless closeups of him whining to the refs at the ends of periods, taking cheap shots like the one at Plekanec at the end of Game Six, and making childish gestures like breaking his stick on Halak's crossbar. You have to respect the talent and drive the guy possesses, but his behaviour in the series says he's not grown up at all. It proves that he's a great guy when things are going his way, but when facing adversity his bad temper and inner two-year-old emerge.

-Speaking of Crosby, I also wonder what kind of effect the captain's general loss of composure will have on his team in this game? I hear the Habs' “leadership group” talking about the fun they're having, the desire to keep going and the way they're playing for each other. On the other hand, I see Crosby losing his temper on the ice and I hear him talking about “not losing.” His comments yesterday included, “We're not losing. We're tied in this series,” and “We never took them lightly. They're here for a reason and we're here for a reason. Nobody's talking about losing.” Hmmm…I don't hear any Habs talking about the possibility of losing. Just Crosby.

-I think it's great the Bell Centre will show the game on the big HD screen tonight. I hope some of the money taken from the $7.50 tickets goes to charity, and I really, really hope, win or lose tonight, nobody acts stupid and wrecks the downtown this time around. The Habs are getting such positive attention in these playoffs, I dread a few idiots spoiling it all.

-Jaro Halak gave an interview to a Slovak paper yesterday, in which he answered questions about Carey Price (they're buddies with no jealousy between them), the playoff run (he's no saviour; just a goalie doing his best) and his contract negotiations (not on yet). Most interesting was his answer when asked if he's happy in Montreal: “At the moment I am, even before I was. As for the future, everything is open for me. I have to say about Montreal fans they are the best in the world. When we win they are great and tremendous. But it's very tough when we lose, they boo at us. That's the hockey in Montreal, as a player you have to prepare yourself for it.” Sound like he'd stay in Montreal for the right deal, but wouldn't cry too long if he got a good deal elsewhere. I hope the organization's treatment of him in his early years as a pro haven't soured him on the Habs.

-I've managed to disassociate from playoff runs in the last few years because I didn't expect the team to do anything and I was right. Disassociating emotionally made sure I didn't spend a month in the doldrums after the playoffs ended for the Canadiens. I can't do that this year. I'm all in, and I really, really need the team to win this one. I'm not ready for it to end.

Go Habs!

8th UEFA European Under U-19 Soccer Championship Elite Round

мая 11, 2010

Marko Marin Fussball Trikot

Here are in-depth predictions of the top soccer nations participating at World Cup 2010 in South Africa.

1. Spain (The Red Fury)

EURO Champs 2008, 1964 & WC Qfinals 2002, 1994, 1986

The Spanish team is in great form and returns the core of their impressive European Championship side of 2008. Their tight passing and possession game works beautifully with their monster striking pair of Fernando Torres and David Villa. With Fabregas, Iniesta, and Xavi manning the midfield, this team is the one to beat. Spain defends well as a team and has a top-notch goalkeeper in Casillas.

By winning EURO 2008, Spain seemed to get the monkey off their backs in terms of a reputation for not performing at the international level. If Spain loses before the semi-finals, it will be an upset.

2. Brazil (The Boys of Brazil)

WC Champs 2002, 1994, 1970, 1962, 1958 & FIFA Confed Cup Champs 2009

With the confidence of a Confederations Cup Championship in 2009, Brazil is feeling confident and ready to win it all again. Although their team is loaded with options, the chemistry seems very good with Kaka working well with Robhino and Fabiano.

Brazi seems to be able to turn it up a level when they need to. However, the need for one or two more quality players may force them to add Ronaldhino, Adriano, or even Ronaldo to the team. If they do, how will that affect team chemistry? Do not be surprised to see them lift the trophy again.

3. Argentina (Albicelestes, Blue sky and white)

WC Champs 1978, 1986 WC Runner Up 1990, 1930 FIFA Confed Cup 1992 champs

Over the last several World Cup's, Argentina have probably the most talent of any team. Their performances have been very good at times; but they are just missing that little something. Maybe having Maradona at coach and Messi starting from the get-go will do the trick.

This current team is still loaded with talent such as Messi, Carlos Tevez, Javier Mascherano, and maybe even Juan Sebastion Veron. As usual, it will be fun to watch merely to see who starts out of their embarrassment of riches in talent.

4. England (Three Lions)

WC Champs 1966 & WC 4th Place 1990, WC Qfinals 2006, 2002, 1986, 1970

Even though it should not matter, England always seemed jinxed by their inability to live up to their high reputations as an international soccer power. They have reached the quarterfinals several times in the modern era. The Three Lions do not lack for talent and it would surprise no one if they went on a run in 2010 and won it all.

Starting with their defense, England can count on great quality and experience out of John Terry and Rio Ferdinand. Their offense will include world-class players such as Gerrard, Lampard, and Rooney. Sometimes, the trouble with England is their inability to figure out a formation that suits Gerrard and Lampard together in midfield. If they can sort it out, watch out for the Three Lions in 2010.

5. France (Les Bleus)

WC Champs 1998, WC Runner Up 2006 & EURO Champs 2000

France was probably the best team at World Cup 2006 and was unlucky to lose to Italy in Final by penalty kicks. They will miss Zidane and it is unclear what kind of form Vieira and Henry will be in.

Still, Les Bleus have plenty of talent and verve with Philippe Mexes, Vieira, both Diarra's, Ribery, Henry, and Benzema. If Ribery, Vieira, and Henry work well together and are on form, this could be the team to beat.

6. Germany (Nationalmannschaft)

WC Champs 1954, 1974, 1990 WC Runner's Up 2002 & EURO Champs 1996, 1980
WC 3rd Place 2006 & EURO 2008 Runner's Up

This team is not the most talented, yet may be the best “team” in the tournament. Known for their resolve and determination, this German team is experienced and has had some international success over the last few years.

The “Nationalmannschaft” seem like a virtual lock to advance to the second round. Once there, they will give anyone a tough fight from there on out. With the likes of Ballack, Podolski, and Schweinstager, Germany is expected to make a nice run at South Africa. Even though Klose is a good scorer, they may be missing some quality up top at striker.

7. Italy (The Azurri)

WC Champs 2006, 1982, 1938, 1934 & EURO Champs 1968, Runner's Up 2000

With a very bad showing at Confederations Cup 2009, the Azurri have a year to get things turned around and figured out. Although they won the 2006 World Cup, the stars of that tournament such as Cannavaro, Zambrotta, and Gattuso are past their prime.

If their younger players such as De Rossi, Chiellini, and Guiseppi Rossi can mold with the veterans such as Buffon, Pirlo, and Luca Toni, they certainly have a chance. Italy may be forced to take some chances and perhaps add some youth or even older veterans such as Del Piero to the mix.

8. Holland (A Clockwork Orange, Netherlands / KNVB)

EURO Champs 1988 & WC Runner Up 1974, 1978 & WC 4th Place 1998

As usual, Holland has great talent and will most likely show up on fire in South Africa. Their issue, like Spain, is remaining on form and finishing a tournament at the same level as the start.

With Arjen Robben, van der Vaart, van Persie, Dirk Kuyt, and Ryan Babel, the Netherlands will match any team on technique and talent. Their exciting style of ball movement and possession football is always fun to watch. If their WC Qualifying form is indicative of things to come, watch out for this team!

9. Ivory Coast (The Elephants, Cote d'Ivoire)

African Nations Cup Champs 1992, 2nd Place 2006, 4th Place 2008

The Elephants finally got their feet wet in the World Cup by qualifying in 2006. Although they did not advance, their talent showed in the “group of death” against Holland, Argentina, and Serbia.

Ivory Coast has players in the best leagues such as Arsenal, Barcelona, and Chelsea and will have a home field advantage in South Africa. If Drogba is in form, this team will advance to the 2nd round at least.

10. USA (The Stars and Stripes)

WC Qfinals 2002, & FIFA Confed. Cup 2009 Runner's Up

Although the USA had a humbling 2006 World Cup, there is no reason that they cannot advance to the 2nd Round and do some damage in South Africa. The team is a great mixture of youth with several veterans.

The strength of the team is its defense, work rate, and athleticism. The counter-attacking style they used at the Confederations Cup is a great strategy for this team. Even though they only have several players at the top world club teams, a handful of their players easily could make the Best XI of a World Cup to include Tim Howard, Landon Donovan, Clint Dempsey, Oguchi Onyewu, and Michael Bradley. This World Cup may be the first in history where the USA team actually expects to advance out of the group stage.

Main Product Features:

The most unique thing about the MC7803u might just be the gorgeous case design, painted a jewel-tone burgundy with a chrome stripe running down the center of the lid; the MC7803u certainly fits the bill of a business class personal notebook computer. But looks aren't everything and the lightweight Gateway isn't very light on performance. The MC7803u has the speed and security of a 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo T5800 processor, of course as you might suspect the central processing unit is the most important aspect to a computer purchase. Naturally the 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo T5800 has the safety and security that you have come to expect from Intel and dual core processing allows you to run more then two applications simultaneously.

In terms of performance the MC7803u also has a strong 8-cell battery, which is powerful enough to last for two hours of continuous usage. Gateway touts superior battery life even with multimedia usage and the MC7803u battery is covered by the parts & service warranty incase of a failure. The 15.4-inch is dazzling especially while doing graphic intensive design, or while surfing some of the eye candy that can be found online. The 15.4-inch is also spectacular for viewing movies on, and the screen is elegant enough to rival Apples finest notebook computers. Truly the LCD is one of the best parts about the MC7803u, and the LCD glossy and glare resistant.

Memory is a huge buying point going for the MC7803u, 4GB DDR2 is more then sufficient for even the most demanding applications, while the laptop is able to operate full 64-bit Windows Vista Home Premium. Although the notebook does come preinstalled with a stellar built-in webcam and a boat load of other unique features such as one HDMI port and 5-in-1 card reader and one huge 320GB Sata Hard Drive. Overall the MC7803u is a stellar multi-media notebook that can be used for college or for an extended gaming session, this truly is one of the best multi-media Notebook Computers that money can buy.

Purchase Price:

The Gateway MC7803u can be purchased direct for a reasonable price of $999.99, or you can purchase this unit refurbished for significantly less.

Another consideration will be the amount of system RAM the notebook has. For general purposes like browsing the internet or word processing 256mb is enough. Though for a good gaming notebook you’ll need 1gb of RAM or more if possible. Most modern games will use 1gb where some will use even more. A great amount of RAM is important to play today’s modern games.

Battery power can be essential. With a good video card and a good amount of system RAM the notebook will require enough power to run almost all these components. Getting a high quality battery will ensure you won’t be searching for a power-point everywhere you go. If possible it is best to obtain a notebook accommodates a second battery. Gaming uses a lot of power compared to other mundane tasks so ensuring your notebook has ample power seriously is not for being overlooked.

Purchase a gaming laptop may be simple when you watch out to the points mentioned above. Most manufacturers have pre-built gaming configurations. These configurations can end up costing less compared to custom built notebooks but can also be lacking in some aspects.

What makes Ronaldinho one of the most successful soccer players in world today? Is it his skills with the soccer ball? His uncommon techiniques to impress the fans with the way he dribbles around the soccer field? The fact that he has appeared in many Nike commercials? His good looks? Or the fact that he has won many “World Player of the Year” awards?

The answer is: all of the above, and more. Ronaldinho, or as he is known in Brazil, Ronaldinho Gaucho, has been in the public eye since 1999, but it wasn't until around 2002, when this great Brazilian star “got his break”. Since then, the star of Ronaldinho Gaucho has only been getting bigger and bigger through the years.

Ronaldinho first became famous in Brazil under the name Ronaldinho (little Ronaldo) Gaucho (meaning he is from the Brazilian state Rio Grande do Sul), in order not to be confused with another Brazilian soccer star, Ronaldo (formally known as Ronaldinho in Brazil). However, when Ronaldo moved to Europe, he became well known only as Ronaldo, allowing Ronaldinho Gaucho to drop the “Gaucho” and be well known only as Ronaldinho.

In his adult life, Ronaldinho has been in three major soccer teams including Brazil's Gremio, France's Paris Saint-Germain, and Spain's always great Barcelona.

He is also one of a very few number of players to ever “play at every footballing level, for he has played at under 15, under 17, under 20, under 23, and senior level. He made his first ever appearance for Brazil playing against Scotland on 7 March1995 in an under 15s match, Brazil lost the game 1-0.” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronaldinho. He was also part of the first Brazilian team to ever win the under 17s championship, which took place in Egypt, 1997.

He then went on to become a part of the under 20s Brazilian team that played on the Fifa World Cup in 1999, and eventually made his first appearance in Brazil's national team that same year in the 1999 Copa America, in which Brazil won.

Since then, Ronaldinho has collected many awards such as “FIFA World Player of the Year” in 2004 and 2005, “World Soccer Player of the Year”, also in 2004 and 2005, “FIFPro World Player of the Year” in 2005 and 2006, “UEFA Clube Footballer of the Year” in 2005 and 2006, and many many others.

Ronaldinho's personality has also helped him become the star he is today. Even with top name awards under his belt, he still remains a very humble, down to earth guy. When asked about his status as the number one soccer player in the world, he simply said: “I don't even feel I'm the best at Barça.” (Barcelona), FourFourTwo magazine.

So there we go, Ronaldinho has clearly made his mark in the world of soccer, and continues to be a great star representing Brazil in a world wide level. What does the future have in store for Ronaldinho? His contract with Barcelona ends in 2010, other than that, all we have to do is simply just keep watching, as this boy from Rio Grande do Sul keeps re-writing soccer history.

We've all heard the innuendoes about soccer mom's – the ones about constantly holding an extra large Cup-O-Joe and driving a mini-van. For a sport that is largely popular with moms and tikes through teenage soccer jocks in high school, it is surprisingly abrupt in its popularity after senior year. It is a world renowned sport, played on every continent and in almost every country. So why is it that the U.S doesn't jump on the bandwagon? I mean, we've allowed other, slightly more ridiculous things to sweep the nation. (Anyone remember Pokemon, or tamagotchi's?)

While the entire world is excited and focused on the 2010 Fifa World Cup, the vast majority of Americans probably could not fathom exactly what it is or where it's taking place. For those curious but too lazy to “google” it; The World Cup is taking place in South Africa and is the championship of all soccer. Similar to the Olympics, the best soccer players are chosen to represent their country and play as a team to become champions of the soccer world. And yes, The U.S. qualified to compete in the World Cup. But despite several attempts to increase soccer popularity in the US, it just doesn't seem to be as catching. Here are the 5 top reasons why soccer will never be big in the US:

5. It doesn't conform to the norms of American broadcasting! Americans are programmed to their television, where there are scheduled commercial breaks. There are some sporting events, such as the Super Bowl where commercials can be as large a part of the hype as the game itself. Soccer runs without breaks. There are no time-outs, no quarter breaks. They run for 45 minutes, spend a few minutes resting in half-time, and run another 45 minutes. There is little room for commercials, and thus little room to financially benefit from it.

4. Soccer is not a necessarily “contact” sport. In sports such as football and hockey, where it is perfectly acceptable to walk off the field, short a few teeth, Americans thrive on the violence. We live for the action associated with the tackles in football, and the baseball brawls that make the 4th inning that much more entertaining to watch! The game of soccer, where players are given “yellow cards” as warnings and a “red card” sends you on your way, to hopefully play another day, leaves very little room for even unexpected violence.

3. Americans like action, they like scoring and holding up their foam fingers. Basketball games often score well into the hundreds, and it's not uncommon to hear a football game run 49 to 21. Soccer, on the other hand, is an awful lot of running, and very little scoring. Games that are tied 0-0 are not uncommon, and a 2-1 is an exciting game. American's live in a world of instant results, instant gratifications. They just won't have 90 minutes of play to perhaps walk off the field without a single goal.

2. You're not allowed to use your hands. The ball has to travel approximately 120 yards and make it into 24ft wide goal, being guarded by a man with gloves, who is the only one allowed to touch the ball. In football, you use your hands. Baseball – yup, you use your hands. Basketball; check. Who'd want to play a game with a ton of fancy footwork, and no hands allowed?

1. Because we have our own “football,” thank you very much. Yes, American's took the word football, which is used all over the world to represent soccer, and re-used it. American's now call what used to be known as football, soccer, and football is actually American football. Never mind that the entire world knows soccer as football. Confused yet? Yes? Well it's the American way. Shows you what we think of all that fancy footwork!

With less than 50 days to go, World Cup 2010 fever is really starting to kick in. This is the latest commercial released that only aids in increasing the anticipation for the big kick-off. The main point of the video is that for one month, every four years, we are united together under one umbrella as soccer fans. The power of soccer can break down boundaries. Words by U2’s Bono, with the song ‘Magnificent’ playing in the background.

After the match Honduras will head for a training camp in Germany on May 15. The camp will also involve selection of Europe based players for the World Cup. Honduras will take on Azerbaijan on May 27, Belarus on June 2 and Romania on June 5 in a series of friendly matches. This would be a second appearance for Honduras in the World Cup, since its first debut in 1982 World Cup where Honduras failed to make a mark.

Throughout the years of apartheid soccer gave the people of South Africa hope and a since of excitement when there was little to be excited about. Soccer withstood apartheid,

With the first non-white soccer association being formed in 1903 (SA Indian Football Association) the SA Bantu Football Association was formed in 1933 and the SA Colored Football Association in 1936. After official Apartheid laws went into effect in 1948 these teams were denied funding and facilities yet they continued to play amongst themselves. On December 8, 1991 (following the fall of apartheid in 1990) the South African Football Association was formed on non-racial principles.

Soccer is the most popular sport in South Africa with a victory for a national team considered a victory for the country. On the day of his inauguration in 1994 Nelson Mandela left the official celebration to attend a soccer game between South Africa and Zambia. He was introduced to both teams during the half time break. In July 2007 thousands attended a game that was organized by FIFA to celebrate his 89th birthday at Newlands Stadium.

Now nine South African cities are gearing up to host the 2010 FIFA World Cup soccer tournament for the first time ever. The tournament will be held in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Port Elizabeth, Nelspruit, Polokwane, Bloemfontein, Rustenburg and Pretoria. South Africa will renovate 5 existing stadiums and build 5 new stadiums in preparation for the most important event in international soccer. You can see the 10 stadiums by clicking here.

The history of the tournament dates back to 1930 with teams from Africa participating since 1934.Cameroon's upset of Argentina in the 1990 world cup finals brought Africa onto the world stage of soccer. Now the time has come for South Africa to host the game they have loved for so long. With an estimated 2.7 million spectators and an additional 28 billion watching on television when the finals are shown the eyes of the world will truly be on South Africa.

Between the roaring crowds, thrills and goals fans may wish to visit some of the other attractions that South Africa has to offer. South Africa offers a diverse combination of people cultures and natural beauty. For the more frugal travelers South Africa may be one of the cheapest vacation destinations in the world according to SouthAfrica.info website.

Some of the attractions fans may wish to visit are Victoria Falls, one of the world's most spectacular natural wonders. Victoria Falls offers white water rafting, kayaking, canoeing, and fishing. Visitors can also go horseback riding and take guided walking safaris.

Kruger National Park and Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park are among the world's best wild life reserves, with over 30 South African National Parks to choose from this is sure to be a nature lovers paradise. South Africa offers a variety of Day Tours as well as scuba diving, shark diving, surfing and hiking.

South Africa's time has come and so has yours, be sure to enjoy all that they have to offer in 2010.

In our list of promotions yesterday, we neglected to mention the Wizards’ team poster giveaway for their home game this Saturday. The first 5,000 fans through the gate receive a 2010 team picture courtesy of Sprint. The Wizards will host the Galaxy this weekend.

In England, the All England Club has announced that it will not show World Cup games during the Wimbledon tennis championship this year. There will be a number of tennis/soccer conflicts including England’s third group stage game. Tournament organizers are concerned that if the soccer matches are broadcast inside the grounds at Wimbledon, it will detract from the tournament. One of the big business questions is if the refusal to air these games will impact attendance and concessions at the All England Club.

MLS Rumors is reporting that the WNBA is following soccer’s lead by putting advertisers on the front of their jerseys. The Seattle Storm will now wear “bing” on the front of their uniforms joining the Sounders in the Microsoft family. For now, such sponsorships are not yet in the picture for the “major” sports. However, as attendance stagnates and player salaries rise, its is quite likely that other sports and teams will look to front of their jerseys for revenue.

When Red Bull GmbH purchased Anschutz Entertainment Group’s 50 percent stake in Red Bull Arena in July of 2007 it was widely reported that the two sides could not agree on issues of stadium design and purpose. AEG’s desire for a multipurpose concert facility with a permanent stage wasn’t to Red Bull’s taste, which was for a true soccer venue without a fixed platform. In parting ways with AEG the Austrian company and it’s MLS team also parted ways with one significant source of revenue but appear to be turning another revenue stream into a river: soccer.

With today’s announcement by Manchester City that they, along with Sporting Lisbon and Tottenham Hotspur, will face the Red Bulls in the New York Football Challenge it becomes increasingly clear that Red Bull eschewed a part-time job in the concert business for a career in the soccer business. Instead of augmenting the venue’s MLS schedule with 4-6 concerts a year, the club has opted to book international & club friendlies as well as collegiate soccer in it’s place; so far Red Bull Arena has hosted Brazilian side Santos with matches featuring Juventus, Turkey, Czech Republic and the Big East Championships soccer tournament already on the books in addition to the New York Football Challenge.

By focusing on soccer in place of moonlighting in live music, Red Bull New York and Red Bull Arena can position themselves as the heart & hub of professional soccer in the New York market –a feat the franchise has struggled mightily with in the past– and prevent the wear and tear on it’s precious grass field that standing concert crowds are notorious for dishing out at the Home Depot Center and Pizza Hut Park. But most importantly they can make money, which at the end of the day is the name of the game.

cuando digo cambio radical me refiero a nuevos movimientos , cesped mas real,que no parezcan robots,diferente forma de chutar y pasar y licencia de todas la ligas europeas y extranjeras.A parte el ultimo pro aburria, no habia emocion,como en anteriores.Cuando vas recto por ejemplo hacia la linia de puerta no puedes chutar no hay potencia en el esferico.AHH Y “OGmex” QUE PRETENDIAS hacerte el gracioso con lo del waterpolo y campos de arena? o simplemente para quedar bien?

The big matches this weekend are once again coming out of England and Italy and have championship overtones as well as importance for the final Champions League spot for both nations. In England, Arsenal will host Manchester City who is trying to take the final Champions League spot away from Tottenham Hotspur. Meanwhile the Spurs will be in Old Trafford taking on Manchester United, who of course is chasing down Chelsea for the top spot.

A similar scenario is taking place in Italy where the fourth-place club Sampdoria is heading to Stadio Olimpico to take on current Serie A leaders Rome. Meanwhile, the fifith-place club Palermo will have it’s own hands full as it welcomes AC Milan to Sicily. In both England and Italy, something’s gotta give.

Of course, the most important match to me in any given weekend is the one that I’m at. This weekend, that will be at the Camp Nou, where Barcelona will be hosting Primera Division cellar dwellers Deportivo Xerez on Saturday. If you’re going to be there, shoot me an e-mail.

As far as everybody else is concerned, have a great weekend!!!

Top Five Matches of the Weekend:

Englische Nationalmannschaft Trikot

With so many world-class players, selecting a World Soccer Team of the Decade for 2000-2010 is almost an impossible job. The debate could go on endlessly and there is no true perfect format for selecting players. This list uses a combination format by choosing from attributes such as club team play, national team play, longevity, statistics, and technique. In addition to the starting 11 players, there are 7 substitute selections to make a full squad of 18 players.

Starting Team: (4-2-2-2 formation)

Goalkeeper

Gianluigi Buffon (Italy, Juventus)

The least controversial choice of the whole team, Buffon is easily the best goalkeeper of the decade and the modern soccer generation. A very smooth net minder, Buffon won 4 Italian league championships, or scudettos, with Juventus and a runner's up UEFA Champions League Medal in 2003. In addition, his play and leadership were integral to Italy's winning the World Cup in 2006. Although very tall at 6 feet 4 inches, Buffon has cat-like reflexes, great agility, and incredible hands. His inspired play seems to instill a sense of calm and confidence over his defensive partners.

Right Back

Lilian Thuram (France, Juventus)

Through classy defending that combined athleticism, physicality, positioning, and technique, Thuram excelled in both central defense and wide right for club and country. After a wonderful performance for Les Bleus at World Cup 1998, Thuram played an integral part in France's European Championship 2000 team and World Cup runner's up team in 2006. Thuram was also a beast for Juventus in the first half of the decade as they lifted two Serie A titles.

Central Defense

Rio Ferdinand (England, Manchester United)

A very steady defender who has never disappointed for club or country at the highest stage, Rio starts in central defense for the World Team. Ferdinand combines great size at 6 feet 4 inches and athleticism with excellent composure on the ball. With Manchester United, Ferdinand has won 4 Premier League titles and 1 UEFA Champions League title over the decade. At World Cup 2002 and 2006, Ferdinand put in outstanding performances as England reached the quarterfinals of both tournaments.

Central Defense, Captain

Paolo Maldini (Italy, A.C. Milan)

Maldini is the choice as captain of this squad and starter at central defense. A giant at A.C. Milan, he helped them lift the UEFA Champions League trophy in 2003, 2007, and a runner's up medal in 2005. Although Maldini retired from the Italian national team in 2002, he led them a few minutes away from winning EURO 2000 and to the second round of the 2002 World Cup. Maldini was selected UEFA Champions League defender of the year in 2007 at the age of 38. Maldini brings wonderful, natural defensive abilities and an amazing presence to every defense that he has anchored. He may be the best defender of all time.

Left Back

Roberto Carlos (Brazil, Real Madrid

An explosive player with great pace, powerful free kicks, and tenacious defending, Roberto Carlos mans the left back spot for the World Team of the Decade. A mainstay starter for Brazil and Real Madrid, he won one World Cup trophy, one Champions league trophy, and three La Liga titles over the course of the decade. Roberto Carlos showed excellent consistency by starting over 30 league games for Real Madrid in 10 straight years.

Right Midfield, Deep

Steven Gerrard (England, Liverpool)

Gerrard's never-ending motor, penetrating runs, and powerful shot will run the deep lying right midfield position for the Decade Team. A legend at Liverpool and stalwart in midfield for England's national team, Gerrard won two FA Cup trophies, one UEFA Cup, and one Champions League trophy during the decade. His incredible performance in the 2005 UEFA Champions League final against A.C. Milan showed his true grit and influence on a team as he led Liverpool back from a 3-0 deficit to win in extra time.

Left Midfield, Deep

Patrick Vieira (France, Arsenal, Juventus)

Vieira was a monster in the middle of the field for Arsenal and France throughout the decade. An incredibly powerful player who could break up opposition attacks and make foraging runs to get involved on offense, Vieira sits next to Gerrard in the deep lying midfield role. Vieira helped France win the European Championship in 2000 and reach the final of the 2006 World Cup. For Arsenal, Vieira captained the squad to Premier League titles in 2002, 2004 and FA Cup titles in 2002, 2003, and 2005.

Attacking Central Midfield

Zindedine Zidane (France, Real Madrid

Three-time FIFA World Player of the Year, Zizou played as if the ball was attached to his foot by a string. His legendary technique, touch, and imagination make Zidane an easy choice in the attacking midfield role. Zidane flourished as maestro of the France national team during the decade and led them to a European Championship in 2000 and a runner's up finish at the 2006 World Cup. Twice the FIFA World Player of the Year in this decade, Zidane led Real Madrid to one La Liga title, one UEFA Champions League title, and one Intercontinental Cup final.

Attacking Midfield

Ronaldhino (Brazil, Barcelona, A.C. Milan)

Although a slightly different player after losing some pace in the latter part of the decade, Ronaldhino is easily one of the most gifted and influential players of the decade and entire generation. As part of a great attacking line-up, he helped Brazil lift the 2002 World Cup trophy and a FIFA Confederations Cup trophy in 2005. With Barcelona, he won two league titles and one UEFA Champions League title. When on form and in full flight, he was simply unstoppable.

Forward

Ronaldo #9 (Brazil, Real Madrid)

Possibly the most talented forward of all time at his peak, Ronaldo had some ups and downs throughout the decade. However, his highs were well worth his inclusion in this squad to include a great run to help Brazil win the 2006 World Cup and Real Madrid win two La Liga titles. Ronaldo is the all-time leading scorer in World Cup play and may add to his total in South Africa during the 2010 World Cup. Ronaldo is an incredibly talented player with great touch, power, explosion, and scoring ability. With no disrespect to Cristiano Ronaldo, younger fans need to watch some clips of Ronaldo #9 in true form to see who the “real” Ronaldo is.

Forward

Thierry Henry (France, Arsenal, Barcelona)

Henry is a player with great pace, creativity, vision, and calmness under pressure that easily makes this first team. He led France to the European Championship in 2000 and a runner's up finish at the 2006 World Cup. With unprecedented success at two major international clubs, Henry starred for both Arsenal and Barcelona over the decade. His teams have won two English Premier League titles, one La Liga title, and one UEFA Champions League trophy over the decade.

Substitutes

Ruud Van Nistelooij (Holland, Manchester United, Real Madrid)

Ruud is an out and out striker that can score. He scored loads of goals over the decade in some of the highest quality of competition. Ruud is a three-time UEFA Champions League top scorer and lead scorer in both the Premier League and La Liga over the decade. In this team, Ruud would be a potential late replacement for Ronaldo.

Lionel Messi (Argentine, Barcelona)

The world's best player in 2009, Messi just misses the cut for the first 11. His role as a super-sub could bring great pace to the team as a replacement for Ronaldhino. Messi may be the quickest player ever with the ball at his feet.

Claude Makelele (France, Real Madrid, Chelsea)

A stalwart in defensive midfield for club and country, Makelele would be a great sub for any of the midfield players in this team. He was the engine of many great Real Madrid and Chelsea sides of this decade.

Cafu (Brazil, Roma, A.C. Milan)

An incredibly consistent and fit player, Cafu had a tremendous overall decade. He mostly played right back but probably could play left back in this side as well. Cafu was on many winning sides this decade to include Roma's Serie A title in 2001, Milan's Champions League in 2007, and the World Cup winning Brazil side of 2002.

Oliver Kahn (Germany, Bayern Munich)

A very consistent and intimidating goalkeeper who could be counted on to make amazing saves every game, Kahn is a capable backup for Buffon. Kahn led Bayern Munich to 6 Bundesliga titles over the decade and one Champions Leage title. In great form during the 2002 World Cup, he led Germany to the runner's up trophy.

Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal, Manchester United, Real Madrid)

A tricky player with great speed who continued to improve throughout the decade, Cristian Ronaldo could be a replacement anywhere at midfield or forward in this team. He was at the peak of his career in 2008 when he won a UEFA Champions League title and FIFA World Player of the Year with Manchester United.

Pavel Nedved (Czech Republic, Juventus)

Neved had some amazing years with Juventus winning multiple Serie A and Italian Cup trophies over the decade and always was dangerous for his Czech Republic National Team. A fiery wing midfield player with great skill, Nedved could fit in at any position in midfield.

All that's left is the opening kickoff! Now that the draw for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa has been completed, we know which countries will be facing off in the opening rounds. Following the formula established in 1998 when the World Cup field was expanded to 32 teams, there are eight groups comprised of four nations each.

South Africa (host), Italy (defending champions), Spain, Brazil, Argentina, Germany, England and the Netherlands were all granted seeded status, so could not be matched against each other in the opening round.

So how does the opening round look? Let's see:

GROUP A

South Africa, Mexico, Uruguay, France

GROUP B

Argentina, Nigeria, South Korea, Greece

GROUP C

England, United States, Algeria, Slovenia

GROUP D

Germany, Australia, Serbia, Ghana

GROUP E

Netherlands, Denmark, Japan, Cameroon

GROUP F

Italy, Paraguay, New Zealand, Slovakia

GROUP G

Brazil, Korea DPR, Ivory Coast, Portugal

GROUP H

Spain, Switzerland, Honduras, Chile

There are definitely some intriguing matchups in these groupings, which will no doubt produce a lot of drama in the opening games. Host country South Africa will be hard-pressed to advance out of their group with the likes of Mexico, Uruguay and France joining them.

Uruguay, the host country and champion of the very first World Cup in 1930, won again in 1950, but has been overshadowed in recent history by South American powers Brazil and Argentina. Still, they'll provide tough opposition for the African squad. Mexico is one of those squads that can beat anybody if all cylinders are firing, and France is a past champion and number seven in FIFA's latest ranking. In fact, all three of South Africa's opening round opponents are in the FIFA top twenty. But you never know what'll happen with the home fans cheering them on.

As usual, there is a “Group of Death,” and this time around it looks like Group G will take that honor. Despite being five-time champion, even Brazil will be sweating out the first round games. Portugal and Ivory Coast have displayed explosive offense in the past few years and the North Koreans are a virtual mystery, having played very few games beyond Asia in recent decades.

For the Americans, the grouping isn't particularly difficult, but not a sure thing, either. They'll face an England squad in the opening round that is very solid at every position on the field. But Algeria and Slovenia are both nations who have very little pedigree behind them.

Group B is definitely Argentina's for the taking, and Germany (Group D), Netherlands (Group E), Italy (Group F) and Spain (Group H), should have little trouble winning their groups as well.

But if history has taught us anything, there are no guarantees when it comes to the World Cup. Now all the world can do is wait with baited breath until that opening whistle on June 11, 2010 in Johannesburg when the first ball is kicked and the world's greatest game is watched by billions.

In modern soccer, performance is a key factor for professionals. This performance depends not only on his mental and physical shape, but also on good footwear. An essential part of the footwear is the soccer cleat, also known as studs. The soccer shoes are specially equipped with cleats that prevent players from slipping and assist in rapid changes of direction.

There are different types of cleats for the different sports, such as rugby cleats, baseball cleats, soccer cleats, cleats for track, etc. Most sports played on grass or dirt require the use of cleats for athlete’s stability.

The difficulty to play soccer on different types of ground was recognized early on in the history of soccer. That meant that the sole of the soccer shoes needed to offer proper resistance or ground traction.

At first, metal tacks similar to those of engineers’ boots were used. These metal tacks could be dangerous and their use was forbidden by Rule 13 of the FIFA regulations for the safety of the players. Eventually leather soccer cleats (or studs) replaced these tacks.

Soccer cleats are made of different materials and can be fixed or removable. The most common are the plastic cleats. This is so because shoes with plastic soles are simpler to make and usually cheaper than any other. Rubber soccer cleats, though, are usually softer than the plastic ones.

Both plastic and rubber soccer cleats are usually fixed to the sole of the soccer shoe. There are also aluminum soccer cleats, which are usually removable. These soccer cleats can be entirely aluminum or plastic with aluminum tips. Recently new cleat systems were devised to help distribute pressure across the boot. Incorporation of new polymer materials further strengthened the sports shoe as well as providing lightweight footwear.

Each type of soccer cleat is indicated for a different type of ground. Soft grounds usually are more slippery so one generally uses higher aluminum cleats that penetrate more deeply to avoid slipping. For firm grounds the soccer cleats are a bit lower, therefore plastic cleats are indicated.

Soccer cleats made of rubber should be used on hard grounds, as they are better for impact. On harder grounds the soccer cleats need not penetrate too deeply, as the ground isn’t as slippery. The soccer cleats are usually higher on the heel and lower on the forefoot, as more weight is put on the heel.

Injuries related to the wrong use of the soccer cleats are quite common. These injuries are usually on the knees and ankles. The most common knee injuries caused by wrong choice of the cleats are those to the ligaments. With the use a high set of aluminum soccer cleats on firm or hard ground the injuries are most likely to occur. The ankle injuries are usually sprains. The wrong use soccer cleats can also cause blistering to the feet, giving them an uncomfortable feeling.

Many professional players still prefer the shoe with traditional soccer cleats arrangement, which provide no more protection to the player than the boots of yesteryear.

Changes to shoe design appear to be in response to demand from parents keen to reduce the number of injuries associated with the modern game. The use of the right soccer cleats according to the ground that the game is going to be played is a key factor to prevent blistering and injuries that can be serious.

Soccer players should set an example and use the right type of soccer cleats and also the manufacturers should instruct the client for the better use of the soccer cleats.
