The Soccer Ball – An Ageless Entertainment By : Samantha Davis It is said that thousands of years ago, South American Indians already kicked an elasticized ball for fun. They used things such as heads, skulls, stitched up cloth and pig or cow bladders.

Ancient Egyptian rites are said to have similarities with soccer, and both the ancient Greeks and Romans also p...

England’s World Cup Foundation For Failure By : Steven Cronin I suspect few tears were shed as head coach Sven-Goran Eriksson left his post with the England football team. Well, except maybe for big Phil Scholari who had just masterminded his third successive tournament victory against the laid-back Swede. Eriksson has had his critics during his five-year reign with England, time and again engineering some baffling decisions to confuse not only the fans but also the players themselves. England’s latest failure can be traced bac... English Premiership Football 2006-2007 Preview – Chelsea’s Hat Trick? By : Steven Cronin Chelsea’s latest excursion into the transfer market has left many fans thinking this season’s title race is already a foregone conclusion. On the face of it Chelsea appear to have signed two genuine world class stars in Michael Ballack and Andriy Shevchenko to add to their growing number of A list players. Ballack has been the driving force for both Bayern Munich and the German national team for several years and has always resisted the temptation to move until now. ... Can Michael Owen Restore Himself As England’s Top Man?

It was Beckham’s leadership in the final 2002 World Cup qualifying game at home to Greece at Old Trafford that will be most fondly remembered. At the peak of his talent, Beckham sing... It’s Time To End The Reign Of The Football Cheats By : Steven Cronin It’s Germany 2006, another World Cup and another outrageous exhibition of diving, gamesmanship and just downright cheating. The time has come to call a halt on this scandalous behavior and restore the image of the beautiful game. Sepp Blatter ordered referees to come down hard and keep the lid on unruly players. The problem is the cheats have seen this as an opportunity to take advantage of the hard-line approach. By diving and conning the referee they know they can ... England’s World Cup Dream Over By : Steven Cronin Once again England’s remarkable inability from spot kicks has cost them a place in the semi-finals of the World Cup. The 3-1 shoot out defeat to Portugal was a repeat of the European Championship exit two years earlier when the Portuguese where on home soil. Owen Hargreaves was the only Englishman to convert his penalty as the England curse continued. England have now lost six of the seven penalty shootouts they have been involved in. Contrast this to Germany, who... Sort The Tickets Out FIFA By : Steven Cronin Once again loyal fans from around the world descend on a major football tournament to support and encourage their teams to glory.

I’m A Villa Fan And I’m Scared! By : Steven Cronin It’s fair to say that the past twenty-five years of following Aston Villa Football Club has come with its fair share of ups and downs. But I can honestly say I have never looked forward to a new football season with such an overwhelming feeling of pessimism.

The team built by Ron Saunders and then nurtured by Tony Barton brought much joy and happiness to at least half the...
