Games- 19th Century – 21st Century

Posted under soccer equipment

Soccer, also known as associated football, is a very popular team sport that is played globally. Various versions of soccer have been around since as early as 1500 BC! Soccer as we know it started in the mid 19th century, and is a result of global efforts to standardize the rules of the game around the world. However, the first “rule book” of soccer (or football) was written in 1633 in Scotland. Since its humble beginnings, soccer has swelled into a much-loved sport played by over 240 million people in 200 countries.

Soccer is not an easy sport, what makes soccer so difficult is that none of the players, except the goalkeeper, can use their arms to touch the ball. And, throughout history, not everyone has loved soccer…in 1314 Edward II of England banned soccer in London, in 1349 Edward III banned soccer in favor of archery, in 1424 James I of Scotland banned soccer, in 1555 Oxford University banned soccer, in 1574 Cambridge University banned soccer, in 1747 Eton College banned soccer, in 1750 Rugby, Harrow, Charterhouse, Shrewsbury, and Winchester colleges all banned soccer, and in 1835 the “Highway Act” banned the playing of soccer in public streets.

As a spectator sport, soccer invokes passion in its fans like almost no other! It has been the cause of riots, war, peace, and millions of sore throats! It is no wonder that it is said that soccer is the most popular sport in the world.

Special equipment is needed to play soccer and the rules are strict. Players must wear specific types of shirts, shorts, socks, foot ware, and shin guards. They are restricted against wearing any type of jewelry or watches to avoid injury to themselves or other players. Goalkeepers must wear different clothing so that they can be easily set apart by the other players and game officials.

Soccer is played on a flat grass field that measures 110 x 80 yards and has sidelines and goal lines market clearly on it. The soccer field also has two rectangular goals, one at each end.

A standard adult soccer game consists of two forty-five minute periods with fifteen-minute half-time break.

Soccer is enjoyed by millions of children around the world as well and there are governing bodies for both children and adult games on national and international levels. Soccer is also broken down into Men and Women’s soccer. Each of these divisions holds many competitions at the highest of international levels. Woman’s soccer has come into its own as an athletic center of influence in the last several years.

Soccer matches can be viewed on television, through the internet, and, of course, through the various forms of print media.

Before Buying A Car

Posted under current soccer

If you are a prospective car buyer, finding just the right car for you is a decision not to be made lightly. Everyone’s needs are different and when you factor in personal tastes, there’s just no telling what will push you into making the final decision.

It’s easy to get carried away when you shop for a car: the smell of the brand-new upholstery, the satisfying purr of the motor, not to mention the slick salesman promising you outrageous deals, all conspire into making you part with your hard-earned money. Hopefully you will find a great deal for the amount of money that you are willing to pay. However you put it though, buying a car will cost a fair amount of money; you do want a car that is in decent condition and that will last for several years don’t you? It is of utmost importance then to do research on the particular models you are most interested in, know the current market trends in car sales and weigh your options carefully so you are confident of making the right choice when it comes time to whip out your checkbook.

The type of car you choose will be dependent on several factors: are you looking for a roomy, comfortable way to truck your kids to ballet class or soccer practice or are you searching for a rugged, off-road trail warrior who willingly follows were your adventurous spirit leads? Maybe you want to tear it up at the racetrack in a screaming blaze of high-octane performance or perhaps gas mileage and ecological-friendliness are your primary concerns. Either way, consider what your expectations and projected requirements are for your planned vehicle and anticipate your need in the future. You’re family may grow beyond it’s current size or you may have a need to use your vehicle for an expanding business. Think of what’s best for your needs and choose a solid, practical model; this year’s flashy, 2-seater with day-glow paintjob and shiny designer rims might get your pulse racing but is it really what you need and can use many years down the line?

Get up-to-date on the latest models though, so you at least know what’s out there and get a feel for current market rates. Check out what new features and innovations have come out recently; the automobile industry is a fast-paced one and new enhancements are coming out all the time.
