How Much Training Do You Need, To Be Like Ronaldinho?
2007-06-06 11:18:00 I have been asking myself this question for a long time, even before I started this blog. I have analysed this from every angle possible and every day I think about it extensively. Ronald inho is able to manipulate the ball in any direction he wishes and when he does something with the ball, he means it, never by accident. It is this sixth sense he has with the ball that I wonder about and need to ascertain. Let’s explore this further by asking the following questions: What part does natural talent play in becoming a great player? And how long do you and I need to be training to be like Ronaldinho How Much Further Will Natural Talent Take You? I am sure that I possess a natural talent for the game of football and I am sure many of you do too. I just know that I do because having a ball at my feet almost feels natural and when I juggle the ball, nothing else gives me more joy. Unfortunately for me, this talent was not nurtured at an early age, not early enough anyway. I was 8 ... More About: Training , Like , TRAI

Indoor Football: Is It For You?
2007-05-28 19:22:00 Indoor football, the bizarro version of outdoor football that we all know and love. There are no throw-ins, there are spot kicks from the side line.

AC Milan Take Over Barcelona As The Best
2007-05-25 17:17:00 With the UEFA Champions League Final decided in favour of AC Mila n , Barcelona can no longer claim to be the best in Europe or the world for that matter. As you might know, Barcelona was kicked out of the Champions League nearly 3 months ago and it was the first post that I made about Barcelona unfortunately. Liverpool ironically went all the way to the final to face Milan and have come out second best. Small revenge smile for Barca fans right now Goals Of The Game And Thoughts The first goal came for Milan in a fire of freakiness. Pirlo stepped up to take a free kick for AC Milan before the half time whistle was to blow. Once struck, the ball went towards the goal only to take a wild deflection off of Filipo Inzaghi’s shoulder and sent goal keeper Reina wrong footed as he watched the ball sail past him. Other than that, the game was quite a normal one and was nothing special in my opinion and many others can vouch for what I’m talking about. I must say the next two go...
Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid - 6 Goal Thumping
2007-05-24 09:51:00 Our boys have done us proud and on the weekend they left Atletico Madrid picking up the pieces from a 6-0 scoreline, which has given Barcelona vital points to remain a great challenge for the Spanish Primera Liga. With this thrashing and convincing win, Ronaldinho and his team now stand equal second on the table with Real Madrid and Sevilla leading the way. Who Scored? The goal sheet was a long one and it is as follows: 0-1 Messi (38th min) 0-2 Zambrotta (40th min) 0-3 Eto’o (45th min) 0-4 Ronaldinho (57th min) 0-5 Messi (80th min) 0-6 Iniesta (90th min) It was a truly impressive display by Barca and Ronaldinho who assisted a good percentage of goals and I have to say the Cameroonian Samuel Eto’o was a big benefactor for those goals also. Ronaldinho started the shake up with a free kick hitting the upright in the 33rd minute which sent chills down Atletico’s spine. You can also blame the Atletico Madrid goal keeper Pichu for such a big deficit because at least a ... More About: Goal , Hump , Ping
Hitting The Ball First Time
2007-05-22 16:37:00 I am a firm believer in first time touches on the ball. For those that don’t understand, I am talking about hitting the ball as it comes to you without any additional touches to get the ball under control. This may be a first time pass or having a shot at goal while the ball is rolling out of your control. Striking the ball first time can be the perfect sneak attack on any goal keeper or any defender for that matter. So let’s have a look at the two different types of first touch plays that could be used on the field. The pass and the shot, as I mentioned above. First Time Shot On Goal I have to go with Wayne Rooney’s goal that I covered the other day which was about the goal that I scored a weekend ago. This is just a great example of having a shot at goal with the first touch. The fact that Dida didn’t see the shot coming was the beautiful part about the goal and illustrates my point convincingly. The only thing that you need to weary of here is the opportun... More About: First Time , Ball
Football Violence, Funny Or Disturbing? You Decide
2007-05-21 16:30:00 Yes I love a bit of action and violence in a movie that I see at the cinema and why wouldn’t I, it makes the film all that more interesting. I’m sure you will agree with me that with all the diving that you see take place on the field, it becomes a sight for sore eyes when you see some good physical contact between tackling players. I came across this video in light of this and in direct response to my previous post about talking back to the referee. In this case, you will see some referees who have more than words exchanged to them. Is Ronaldinho Part Of This Compilation? He sure is and it’s quite a funny incident. I in all honesty wouldn’t have figured Ronaldinho to head butt/smother Regardless, you can catch his antics at 2 minutes and 53 seconds. One of my favourite fits of all time put would have to be Paolo De Canio’s, of Sheffield Wednesday, who lets the official know his feelings. You can see this one second past one minute.

Talking Back To The Referee
2007-05-20 12:26:00 We’ve all done it before and it’s safe to say that many of us love contesting a decision given against us. It’s human nature and when males play the sport, testosterone is bound to fly around. The inspiration of this story comes from the matches that I played today. Unfortunately the referee that we were given was a bit of a dud. And it seemed as though he was blind because every call would be against us and I’m sad to say, all I could do was keep playing my game and ignore what was going on around me. There Was An Incident In the second half we were drawn at 1-1 and my team mate decided to slide tackle another player who had the ball. In honest truth it was a great tackle and the ball was cleanly taken away from the player. Then the next thing we hear is the referees whistle and a yellow card made its way out of his pocket. My mate was absolutely peed off about the whole decision and started arguing with the referee saying, “Couldn’t you see I to... More About: Back , Talking , Refer , Referee
Sports Drinks In Cans?
More articles from this author:2007-05-19 16:10:00 Yes, sports drinks now come in aluminium can form. The funny thing is that I was on my way to the car park in the shopping centre (the mall for the Americans) and I spotted the Powerade can above being sold in a vending machine. I thought it was a joke. But no upon looking closer at the machine, sure enough there was a sports drink in can form looking back at me. So what is a footballer to do when he sees his favourite sports drink in another form? He gets himself one of course. So What Did I Like? The first thing that got my attention were the colours. Being an avid supporter of the Australian Football Team, The Socceroos, I was attracted. And that’s the only thing that I liked really. The other features of this product were not great. There seems to be no logical reason to introduce a can version to Powerade. I can’t figure out the purpose of this design. So let’s talk about other things. No Psshh Noise? There actually was a small gas noise when I opened up the c... More About: Sports , Drinks , Spor , Ports 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 |
