South Africa as World Cup host country must have an international stadium. These stages will be used in implementing the World Cup. One of them is the Soccer City Stadium. This stadium is a stadium that stood in the city of Johannesburg and was built in 1987. This stadium formerly known as the FNB stadium with a capacity of about 80 thousand spectators. However, the current stadium capacity is increased to 94.700 and a stadium with the largest capacity in southern Africa.

The outside of the stadium is designed to have the appearance of a calabash, an African pot, the cladding on the outside is a mosaic of fire and earthen colours with a ring of lights running around the bottom of the structure, simulating fire underneath the pot. No spectator will be more than 100 metres (330ft) from the action and there are no restricted views in the stadium.

The stands in Soccer City are articulated by ten black vertical lines; nine are aligned geographically with the nine other stadia involved in the 2010 World Cup, and a tenth line is aimed at Berlin's Olympic Stadium, which hosted the previous World Cup final in 2006. This represents the road to the final and it is hoped that after the World Cup, each goal scored at the stadium will be placed in pre-cast concrete panels on a podium so that the full history of the tournament’s scores can be seen for years to come.

Physical fights in this case are not in a negative sense but the physical contest to fight the ball. With the frequent physical fights, will increase the risk of injury to players. These injuries sometimes greatly feared by football players and even professional players.

Professional players will have a higher risk of injury. This injury is the main fear of professional players and even the world's top players. If a professional player injured, may not only have pain, but also lose the opportunity to defend his team. Sometimes the injury will make the players can not compete in the bull or even more.

Major honors soon followed as Barcelona won La Liga in Messi's debut season, and won a double of the league and UEFA Champions League in 2006.

Freestyle Football the Beautiful Technique

2009-10-14T08:13:00.000+07:00

In football there is the basic skills and if developed will be able to make people amazed to see it. Of the many impressions we can see how someone can play the ball with amazing force. This is common we call freestyle football (soccer freestyle).

Freestyle football has existed for some time, but it has seen a surge in popularity as a result of global advertising campaigns and digital media sharing. In the early 21st century, Nike began an advertising campaign which relied heavily on the freestyle form of football, including video clips of freestyle performances. These advertisements featured famous players such as Ronaldinho and Edgar Davids. Many link such mass media attention to the start of the freestyle craze. In the YouTube era, however, many previously non-famous players have risen to prominence, and internet searches easily yield thousands of videos by amateur "freestylers" around the world.

Here are some examples of tricks in freestyle football :

The Crossover
One of the most simple tricks. The Crossover is used among many professional football jugglers, as well as beginners. The trick involves the art of juggling (keeping the ball in the air with one or both feet) and then with the chosen foot the person kicks the ball up slightly, and uses the other foot to go up and over the ball, while the chosen foot crosses the other leg slightly in the air and pushes the ball up to keep juggling.

Around The World
Involves the art of juggling (keeping the ball in the air using both feet) and then with the chosen foot, the person kicks the ball up slightly, and as soon as the foot leaves the ball they start to rotate their foot around the ball. The foot has to completely go around the ball in a 360 degree motion for the trick to be completed.

Hop the world
Jumping over and around the ball in a 'hopping' motion which in turn looks similar to Around the world. The first step involves juggling of the ball, followed by kicking the ball up into the air with the chosen foot. Once the ball is at its highest point, the person should hop its opposite foot over and around the ball (same as ATW). The only main difference between the two tricks is that there is a slight jump involved.

Football Manager 2010

2009-09-30T20:26:00.001+07:00

Football Manager 2009 is the most successful in the Football Manager series to date, clocking up 22 weeks at No.1 in the UK (PC charts) and selling in excess of 1 million copies worldwide, as well as being voted the 2nd best video game of all time in a recent Radio 1 poll. According to data gathered from Football Manager 2009, people played the game for an average of 240 hours each. However, developer Sports Interactive has been made aware via the vibrant Football Manager community that the addition of big new features in the last few releases has come at the expense of attention to existing areas of the game and solving long standing issues.

With this in mind, Sports Interactive has spent the last year working closely with consumers and the Football Manager community to implement key improvements to this year’s game. Football Manager 2010 features new tools and changes across the board including some big additions to improve ease of use, navigation and feedback from the game with the introduction of a brand new match tactics system, the debut of a Match Analysis tool, a completely new look and new User Interface among other features.

The introduction of a Tactics Creator makes it easier to instruct the team to play the way the manager wants, alongside the introduction of touchline ‘shouts’ and quick tactic changes for instantly altering your team’s playing style during the match. Working with coaches from various levels of football, alongside some of the Football Manager communities most respected independent tacticians, the game now has an extensive array of pre-set tactical options allowing the user to select a player’s role in the team (such as ‘Ball winning midfielder’ or ‘Deep lying playmaker’), however the option to use the old ‘slider’ controls remains.

Feedback from matches has been improved to give the user better insight into where their team is going wrong, or right. A new Match Analysis tool lets players see where shots, passes, crosses, headers, tackles, fouls and interceptions have been made on the field for all players on the pitch. Managers can view this analysis both live in-game and post match, allowing them to pinpoint the strengths and weaknesses of both their team and their opponent’s and adjust their tactics accordingly.

Football Manager 2010 features a brand new User Interface, with a light and a dark skin to choose from as part of a vibrant new look and has undergone a complete navigational overhaul. The side bar navigation of previous years has been replaced by an intuitive tab system at the top of the screen, making Football Manager’s famed depth easier to navigate and will make the game more accessible to new players.

A brand new Data Editor will allow the addition of new divisions to existing leagues and of entirely new leagues as well as making it easier than ever to keep the game up to date, and do so for free. The delivery of information to the manager has been refined with users now able to sign up to the News Centre, an in-game subscription based newspaper that lets you get the news that you want about the football world and filter out the stories that you do not need, making the football world as immersive as you want it to be.

Following the debut of a 3D match view in Football Manager 2009, this year’s release sees a revamp with improved AI, over 100 new animations for the 3D pitch view, new stadiums, crowds, realistic pitch degradation and better lighting, creating an even more realistic match experience.

Further new features will be announced via a series of blogs in the months leading up to the game’s October 30th release date which will ensure that Football Manager retains its position as the most realistic, most played, highest reviewed and best selling football management simulation in the world.

Football Manager Handheld 2010 also has a host of new features and improvements, including a brand new skin for the game and improved match engine AI.

Football Legend : Pele

2009-09-29T09:30:00.000+07:00

Edison Arantes do Nascimento ,(born, Três Corações, Minas Gerais, Brazil, 23 October 1940), best known by his nickname Pelé (Brazilian Portuguese pronunciation: [peˈlɛ], usual English pronunciation: /ˈpɛleɪ/) is a Brazilian football player. He was given the title; Athlete of the Century by the International Olympic Committee. In 1999 Time Magazine named Pelé one of the 100 Most Important People of the 20th Century. While his birth certificate shows his first name as Edison, he prefers to call himself Edson, but it is as Pelé that he has become a sporting legend.

In his native Brazil, Pelé is hailed as a national hero. He is known for his accomplishments and contributions to the game of football in addition to being officially declared football ambassador of the world by FIFA and a national treasure by the Brazilian government. He is also acknowledged for his vocal support of policies to improve the social conditions of the poor (when he scored his 1,000th goal he dedicated it to the poor children of Brazil). During his career, he became known as "The King of Football" (O Rei do Futebol), "The King Pelé" (O Rei Pelé) or simply "The King" (O Rei). He is also a member of the American National Soccer Hall of Fame.

Spotted by football star Waldemar de Brito,[11] Pelé began playing for Santos at 15 and his national team at 16, and won his first World Cup at 17. Despite numerous offers from European clubs, the economic conditions and Brazilian football regulations at the time benefited Santos, thus enabling them to keep Pelé for almost two decades until 1974. Pelé played as an inside forward, striker, and what later became known as the playmaker position. Pelé's technique and natural athleticism have been universally praised and during his playing years he was renowned for his excellent dribbling and passing, his pace, powerful shot, exceptional heading ability, and prolific goalscoring.

He is the all-time leading scorer of the Brazil national football team and is the only footballer to be a part of three World Cup-winning teams. In 1962 he was on the Brazilian squad at the start of the World Cup but due to an injury suffered in the second match, he wasn't able to play the remainder of the tournament. In November 2007 FIFA announced that he would be awarded the 1962 medal retroactively, making him the only player in the world to have three World Cup winning medals.

Since his retirement in 1977, Pelé has been a worldwide ambassador for football and has undertaken various acting roles and commercial ventures.

Pelé's goalscoring record is often reported as being 1280 goals in 1363 games. This figure includes goals scored by Pelé in non-competitive club matches, for example, international tours Pelé completed with Santos and the New York Cosmos, and games Pelé played in for armed forces teams during his national service in Brazil.

The tables below record every goal Pelé scored in major club competitions for Santos and the New York Cosmos. During much of Pelé's playing career in Brazil there was no national league championship. From 1960 onwards the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) were required to provide meritocratic entrants for the then-new Copa Libertadores, a South American international club competition broadly equivalent to the European Cup. To enable them to do this, the CBF organised two national competitions: the Taça de Prata and Taça Brasil. A national league championship, the Campeonato Brasileiro, was first played in 1971, alongside traditional state and interstate competitions such as the Campeonato Paulista and the Torneio Rio-São Paulo.

The number of league goals scored by Pelé is listed as 589 in 605 games. This number is the sum of the goals scored by Pelé in domestic league-based competitions: the Campeonato Paulista (SPS), Torneio Rio-São Paulo (RSPS), Taça de Prata and Campeonato Brasileiro. The Taça Brasil was a national competition organised on a knockout basis.

Futsal Practice

2009-09-28T11:18:00.000+07:00

Accelerated Learning

80 Possessions A Player

In a 50 minute Futsal match, a field player on a team using a dynamic system of play with rotations and player exchanges (a 3-1, 4-0, Roof or 1-2-1 system, for example) to create and take advantage of space will touch the ball once every 29.5 seconds . . . that's just over 80 possessions per player per match, if the player plays the entire match. This compares to only 30 to 40 possessions per player in a full 90 minute outdoor soccer match (number varies by position and the style of soccer the team plays).

The majority of possessions in Futsal are quick 1 or 2 touch combinations with teammates. In Futsal players who put their head down and try three or more touch combinations usually find themselves double teamed and losing the ball. The game rewards players who keep their head up, who control the ball, who support their team mates and who use one and two touch combination play to work with team mates.

Faster Speed Of Play

Speed, Agility, Quickness

The benefit to a Soccer player, of playing Futsal matches under the pressure of restricted time, space and pressure, is an improvement in:

Speed of locomotion (speed of sprint)
Speed of action/reaction with the ball
Speed of action/reaction without the ball
Speed of decision-making
Speed of anticipation
Speed of perceptional and visual processing
Speed of performing soccer specific skills
Speed in changing directions
Speed at which feints can be performed
Speed at which defense is played
Speed of fast breaks
Speed of transition from Attack to Defense
Speed of transition from Defense to Attack
Speed of goalkeepers reactions
Speed of team combination play

Speed of action converting all other aspects of speed into simply playing faster.

Preparing For The Spring Soccer

Physical Conditioning

A typical high school soccer player runs 3 to 5 miles (click here) in a full 90 minute outdoor soccer game on a narrow football field (distance run varies by position played and style of play of team). The same player in a 40 minute Futsal match, with a team playing a dynamic system of play, will run 2.5 miles as striker, 3.1 miles as defender and 3.7 miles as a wing midfielder.

Time	Defender	Mid	Attacker
Walking	24%	20%	26%
Jogging	13%	14%	15%
Running	40%	54%	34%
Backwards	23%	15%	25%

Safe Learning Environment

Player Safety

Futsal is FIFA's game for the development of player's skills, speed of play and knowledge. FIFA's position is that players focused on physical play are not focused on learning. FIFA's official Laws of the Game of Futsal prohibit physical contact including shoulder charges and slide tackles.

There is significantly less risk of injury in Futsal than in FIFA's outdoor game. An American Academy of Pediatrics clinical report finds the indoor game with walls has an injury rate that is 6.1 times higher than the injury rate in FIFA's 11 a side soccer game (click for report). Futsal is great for player conditioning. Because there are no walls and rules restricting physical contact playing Futsal reduces the risk of a pre-season injury that might prevent a player from being ready for the spring season.

Improved Attacking Psychology

The Creation Zone

Virtually all coaching courses, clinics, soccer text, video tapes, training CD's and Internet training sites in English promote the concept that soccer in all it's forms, including Futsal, is played in the Defensive Third, the Midfield (Transition) Third and the Attacking (Scoring) Third of the Pitch.

To encourage players to be more creative a different psychological approach is used to encourage youth Futsal players in many other countries. This alternate view defines four areas of play on the pitch. The Defensive Zone is the quarter of the pitch closest to the goal your team is defending. The Transition Zone is the quarter of the pitch from the Defensive Zone to the midfield line. The Attacking (Scoring) Zone, form which most goals are scored, is the area in front of and closest to your opponent's goal. The rest of the attacking half of the pitch is the Creation Zone . . . the area where a team creates attacks on their opponent's goal. Players taught to use the Creation Zone to create scoring opportunities have a much better concept of which areas of the pitch can be used to create successful attacks

Teaching Creative Attacking Play

Dynamic Attacking

While most coaches and trainers credit Futsal with improving skills, teams that use any of Futsal's dynamic systems of play learn to play creative attacking soccer.

Prior to the 1950's Futsal was played with a single defender and three attacking players. This system, referred to as the 1-3 is still used in the last few minutes of matches when a team is behind and willing to take risk to score goals. Because the defender didn't go forward to score and the attacking players didn't come back to defend this was a very static style of play.

In the 1950's teams started playing a 2-2 system with 2 defenders and 2 attacking players. Because the two defenders stayed in the back and the two attacking players stayed closer to the opponent's goal this was also a very static style of play. This style is still used by very young teams just learning to play the game.

In the very late 1950's the first of the dynamic styles of play became popular with the introduction of the 3-1 system with three defenders and a single attacking player. This system was the first of many dynamic systems that allow a team to creatively attack an opponent and force the opposing defense to make mistakes. The creative attacking concepts used in Futsal's dynamic systems of play also work well in FIFA's traditional soccer game.

The easiest way to see the possible patterns of movement and rotations that can be used to create attacking opportunities in the 3-1 is to draw a Futsal court on a sheet of paper and then play "what if". Put a coin on the paper close to the opponent's goal and label it target player. Then place three coins at the mid-court in the 4, 6 and 8 o'clock positions for three teammates. Now if the target player moves to the left side of the court what space is created and which player(s) can move to use it? If the target player checks back to their teammate with the ball what space is created and which player(s) can move to use it? What happens if the target player checks back towards their teammate with the ball and the ball is simply chipped over the target player to the space that has been created? There are over a hundred creative attacking options that can be used by a team using movement, rotations, exchanges, takeovers, chip passes, cross court movement and passes, feints and other techniques to create and effectively use the limited space available on a Futsal court.

There are many dynamic systems of attacking play including:
• 3 - 1 with a static target player
• 3 - 1 with different players rotating through the front as target player
• 4 - 0 with any combination of the four back court players attacking in an almost unlimited number of combinations, rotations and patterns
• Roof system with five court players (including the keeper)
• Carousel with constant rotations
• 1 - 2 - 1 with players playing more like the diamond on a playing card with the target player static
• 1 - 2 - 1 with players playing more like the diamond on a playing card with different players taking turns rotating through the target player position

• 2 - 1 - 1 with two defenders, a midfielder and a attacking player

• Y or 1 - 1 - 2 with a defender, a midfielder and two attacking players

Futsal Teaches The Game

From Court To The Field

Futsal is FIFA's official 5 a side game because the Laws of and the game of Futsal rewards players for the same skills, concepts, decision making and basic knowledge of the game that is required to play FIFA's traditional 11 a side game.

For example, many of the patterns of movement and rotations in the exercises in "Futsal Guidelines for Coaches", © 2005, Set Sport Corporation, Brazil, are used in the movement and rotations of field players in FIFA's traditional soccer game. For example:

Zakumi - a Mascot with attitude

2009-09-25T13:50:00.000+07:00

So what can we say about him? One thing is for sure, Zakumi will be first on the dancefloor and last off it at the biggest party in the world - the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™. He wants to dance and entertain as many people as he can. He is an animator for fans, players and officials, for schoolchildren, teenagers and big kids alike!

Needless to say, he is extremely proud to be the Official Mascot and determined to be the best host for everyone visiting his beloved country. He symbolizes South Africa and the rest of the African continent through his self-confidence, pride, hospitality, social skills and warm-heartedness.

Zakumi is a jolly, self-confident, adventurous, spontaneous, and actually quite shrewd little fellow. He loves to perform and always follows his instinct and intuition, yet sometimes has the tendency to exaggerate a bit. You will often find him fooling about and teasing people but not in a mean way. He is warm-hearted and caring, and wants to make as many friends as possible.

He loves to play football as it is a great way to connect with others and break down language barriers. He always carries his football around which he will use to invite people to play with him.

Zakumi loves football. At one time he decided to dye his hair green as he felt it would be the perfect camouflage against the green of the football pitch; a bit like his rosette spots are when hunting in the wilderness!

He does have one striking weakness. With all his energy, he needs frequent rests. Occasionally, in-between performances on stage, he may suddenly fall asleep on the spot at the most random times! But rest assured, these are only short breaks that a leopard of his calibre needs to recharge his batteries.

Over the last years he has travelled the whole of Africa where the leopard habitat is good (pretty much everywhere from open savannahs, forests, jungles to mountainous areas, even deserts). He has therefore learned to adapt to new environments; enjoying the diversity in nature and people across the African continent

The name ‘Zakumi' is a composition of ‘ZA' standing for South Africa and ‘kumi', which translates into ‘10' in various languages across Africa.

Zakumi's main priority is to turn the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa into one huge, joyful and unforgettable party and show the thousands of international guests the warmth and spirit of the African continent.

"He wants to create a good mood for the fans and raise the excitement for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, the first on African soil. He is a proud South African and wants to ensure that the world will come together in South Africa," explained Lucas Radebe, South Africa's football icon and close friend of Zakumi.
