Thus, a new training patterns can be effective when there is an element of mental, physical, and spiritual. That is, every practice, at least three elements are always there.

Exercises that will you live this can increase the agility to control the ball, especially when you are learning the basics of playing futsal. But, do not forget, you learn to direct practice.

The deeper the analysis conducted, the greater the benefits you get from this game. Before doing exercise, you should do warm-up and after exercise, do not forget to drink plenty of water.

FIFA 10 is the latest generation of soccer games from Electronic Arts (EA) Sports. But the game's PC version turns out to be thick with the smell of 'Old'.

FIFA game series from EA Sports was assumed big names. Although often referred to not as good as its competitors - series aka Pro Evolution Soccer Winning Eleven from Konami - but FIFA series is the official game of virtual football competition is recognized by FIFA (the international football association).
The latest manifestation of the series that is FIFA 10 that appears to the new generation consoles Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, except of course for Windows-based computers (PCs). Well, this time we will review the PC version of FIFA 10.
The first impression arising from the games Wayne Rooney is a user-friendly greeting. The first time you run this game players will be asked to determine the skill level, players 'veterans' can simply select the high difficulty level, while beginners can choose the lowest level.
Then, the players were offered the obligation to make profiles including setting up a club or favorite football team. Once selected, FIFA 10 will by default place it as the team's first choice for every game.

But the friendly greeting and a neat menu that turned out just one part of the experience of playing FIFA 10. The next experience, and this is the most important, is the experience of playing the game.
In this section FIFA 10 began to show it. First of all, the players display a similar level that tends bad. Skin texture looks fine players like puppets. Then, when action on the field, any graphics that appear even more disappointing. Players looked rough and 'pasted' on the screen.
In fact, the graphics are crude that could be saved by way of a good control. But FIFA 10 for PC - despite carrying the 360-degree control - still feels stiff control and encourage players to move in straight lines only.
To be honest, FIFA 10 graphics are not bad. But for class current generation games, especially when compared to FIFA 10 for the console, which appears on the quality of FIFA 10 for PC is not a proper quality.

Graphics and control FIFA 10 for PC may feel awkward, but that does not mean this game is played entirely unworthy. There are some things that should be enjoyed by gamers.
First, when playing against the computer, will appear before the intelligence report. This report shows what the strategy has the opposing team and also where the star players to watch.
The second feature of interest is the system control unique alternative to PC users. This is FIFA 10 controls using the mouse.
Alternative control types are suitable for gamers who tend to be relaxed. Through the mouse player will control the game in the style of 'point and click': mouse over a specific location in the field and controlled football player will move there.

To pass, the system is using the left click. Pass to a teammate is done by clicking the feedback his body while the breakthrough can be executed by clicking a blank area on the ground.
To shoot, players can use the right mouse button. Pressing the button will add a long kick launched power.
Features with the mouse control is also frees players from the rigidity of the movement. Controlled virtual football player, according to observations ITGazine, seems more flexible when asked to follow the instructions of the mouse rather than instructions from the keyboard or Gamepad.

But for gamers who want to enjoy a football game with a relaxed style, using a mouse control option could be a reason to sample FIFA 10. In addition, the specifications for the PC gamer a bit 'less' FIFA 10 will be better able to accommodate it.
Pros:
+ Alternative control system via a mouse
+ Intelligence report pre-game

Disadvantages:
- Graphics are impressed 'old'
- Full player stiff

Franz "Der Kaiser" Beckenbauer

2009-03-28T07:44:00.001-07:00

Beckenbauer is without doubt one of the greatest players and coaches of all time. He redefined the role of libero, lifted the FIFA World CupTM as captain in 1974, before repeating the feat as a manager in 1990.

The son of a general manager of a postal depot, he began his career at the age of nine in the youth team of SC Munchen 06, before joining Bayern Munich in 1958. He made his debut for Bayern on the left wing, against FC St. Pauli on 6 June 1964. In only his first season in the regional league, he helped the club achieve promotion to the Bundesliga.

Franz celebrated his first international cap on 26 September 1965, aged 20, and went on to play in three FIFA World Cups. The young Beckenbauer made his first finals appearance in 1966, scoring two goals in a 5-0 victory over Switzerland in his first game.

Although West Germany lost in that legendary Final to hosts England at Wembley, more than 30 years later, Beckenbauer can reflect positively on events: "Being a runner-up in the FIFA World Cup isn't too bad for a young player", Beckenbauer told FIFA.com.

His second tournament in Mexico in 1970 was also memorable as he played in the semi-final against Italy with a dislocated shoulder, carrying his injured arm in a sling. However, his dedication went unrewarded with the Azzurri running out 4-3 winners, leaving the Germans to settle for third place.

Nevertheless, Beckenbauer still has fond memories of Mexico. "1970 was a magnificent tournament. The fans were fanatical and stadium security wasn't quite so intense in those days. You could still do pretty much what you wanted to. There was just one armed policeman who sat outside the entrance and watched the whole ground. Obviously, that would be unthinkable today. Back then, it was simply more relaxed. The games in Mexico were colourful. The country laughed and football danced," he recalled.

Then in 1974 came Beckenbauer's finest hour. By now, he was playing in the position he revolutionised - as a libero behind the defence. He organised the team from the back, but also advanced when his side were on the attack. It was in his nature to go forward; he simply could not stop himself.

The 1974 FIFA World Cup in Germany was something extra-special for Beckenbauer and his team. From the first whistle, the home fans demanded nothing less than victory. The high expectations were something the captain was all too aware of: "When you are hosts, there is obviously twice the pressure, because everybody expects you to win".

Collectively, Beckenbauer, Sepp Maier, Paul Breitner, Wolfgang Overath, Gerd Muller and the rest of the team withstood the pressure to make West Germany champions for the second time. After their 2-1 victory over the Netherlands, Beckenbauer became the first captain to lift the brand new FIFA World Cup trophy after Brazil had retained the Jules Rimet trophy in 1970.

In 1977, Beckenbauer left Bayern Munich to join the New York Cosmos. By the time he left Munich he had won every major honour with "his" Bayern: the Intercontinental Cup, a hat-trick of UEFA European Cups, four German Championships and four German Cups. He hoped to find a new challenge in the USA's professional league, as well as earn a good living. From a sporting point of view, however, the switch stateside did not further his development: "Football-wise it was a non-starter" he said.

The move across the Atlantic also brought an end to his international career. Since he was plying his trade abroad, he was no longer considered for selection by West Germany. In total, he made 103 appearances for his country, becoming the first ever German player to break through the 100-cap barrier.

In 1982, he made his comeback in the Bundesliga at 35, playing for one season with Hamburg. He retired from playing in 1983 after another spell with the New York Cosmos.

In July 1984, after the failure of Jupp Derwall at that year's UEFA European Championship, Beckenbauer was installed as West Germany's national team head coach. His first major success from the dugout was at Mexico 1986, where he led his team to the Final. Although Argentina won the trophy, Beckenbauer had come of age as a coach.

At Italy 1990, West Germany became undefeated world champions, and when Andreas Brehme converted the only goal from the penalty spot in the Final against Argentina, Beckenbauer secured his place in the record books as the first man to win the FIFA World Cup as captain and as coach. Winning the trophy as coach remains the pinnacle of Franz Beckenbauer's football career: "I would say 1990 in Italy was the most important to me, it doesn't come any better than managing a side to victory," he has been quoted as saying.

Beckenbauer was the president of Bayern Munich until 1998, when he was made the vice-president of the German Football Association. And after helping to return the sport's showpiece event to his homeland, he successfully oversaw the 2006 FIFA World Cup as the chairman of its Organising Committee.

Garrincha

2009-03-27T07:42:00.000-07:00

Unpredictable, magical, elusive and explosive are just some of the many adjectives people have used to describe Brazil's beloved Garrincha, one of the best players ever to wear the famous canarinha jersey. With his legendary dribbling skills and keen eye for goal, he helped the South American giants to successive FIFA World Cup triumphs in 1958 and 1962.

If Pele is regarded by Brazilians as the most technically gifted player of all time, then Garrincha will always be remembered for his impudence and inventiveness. Daring, spirited and entertaining, he brought smiles to the faces of spectators the world over.

'The Chaplin of football'
But life for Manoel Francisco dos Santos was not always easy. His childhood was a constant struggle as he faced huge obstacles in pursuing his love of football. Born with one leg a full six centimetres shorter than the other in Pau Grande, a poor sector of the Rio de Janeiro state, the odds were stacked against him from the start.

In later years, the youngster ignored medical advice to quit the game despite having a badly distorted leg from corrective surgery. Small for his age, his sister Rosa began to call him Garrincha, a north-eastern name for the wren, a small bird popular in Pau Grande. The nickname stuck.

With almost superhuman perseverance, the 'Little Bird' stopped at nothing to become a professional footballer. In 1953, after being rejected by several teams because of his abnormal physique, the Brazilian was finally taken on by Botafogo on the recommendation of their player Gentil Cardoso, who had earlier been humbled by the bow-legged youngster in a practice game.

Playing professionally for the first time, the Brazilian quickly began exhibiting his full repertoire of tricks on the wings, and was soon beating his rivals for fun with his meandering runs and unbelievable changes of pace. Flair-loving Brazilian supporters quickly came to adore his selection of dribbles, feints and shimmies, which could infuriate even the best of defenders. It was in this era that he earned the monikers, 'The Chaplin of football' and 'The joy of the people'.

It was not long before Garrincha broke into the national team, making his debut on 18 September 1955 in a 1-1 draw against Chile. In all, his international record was 50 caps and 12 goals, and he scored five times in his dozen FIFA World Cup finals matches.

Just five years after senior debut for Botafogo, he became a world champion at Sweden 1958 - the first of Brazil's five world titles. It was there that he became part of a formidable attacking unit that included Didi, Zagallo, Vava and a precocious 17-year-old called Pele, who was just starting to grab the headlines. Vicente Feola's Auriverde picked up other accolades, one of which was becoming the first team to win the competition on a foreign continent.

Garrincha's finest hour would come four years later at the 1962 FIFA World Cup in Chile. The winger was voted player of the tournament after coach Aymore Moreira put additional weight on his shoulders in the absence of the injured Pele. He rewarded his gaffer's faith with a series of magical displays and four crucial goals, which made him the tournament's joint top scorer.

"What planet is Garrincha from?" asked Chile's Mercurio newspaper after Brazil had eliminated the hosts in the semi-final. After winning a second FIFA World Cup in succession, Garrincha's reputation soared both at home and abroad, with many people now considering him the second greatest player in his country's history behind Pele.

The maestro's descent
His last appearance on the world stage was at England 1966, where he showed sparks of the genius for which he was famous. Unfortunately for him, Vicente Feola's Brazilian side were a rather pale shadow of the team that had won the trophy four years earlier in Chile and were eliminated in the first round after losing to Hungary and Portugal. Garrincha played in Brazil's first two games, scoring in their only win over Bulgaria.

The phenomenon that was Garrincha transcended football, with the player figuring unwittingly in the works of many Latin American writers. Eduardo Galeano, one of the continent's most eminent writers and a self-confessed football lover described him in Soccer in Sun and Shadow:

"When he was on form, the pitch became a circus. The ball became an obedient animal, and the game became an invitation to party. Garrincha would shield his pet, the ball, and together they would conjure up some wonderful tricks that would have the spectators in stitches. He would hop over her, and she would bounce over him. Then she would hide before he would escape only to find her already running in front of him. Along the way, his pursuers would crash into each other in their attempts to stop him."

As for his club career, Garrincha spent 12 seasons at his beloved Botafogo, where he won two Rio-São Paulo tournaments, three Carioca State Championship titles and scored close to a quarter-century of goals. He moved to Corinthians in 1966, before flitting between teams within his homeland and having a brief spell in Colombia, though by then he was evidently past his prime.

'Angel with bent legs'
Life dealt a cruel hand to the irrepressible 'Angel with bent wings' (as he was called by a Brazilian poet), who having overcome his physical defects seemed powerless to control his addictions and vices. The player's ability to escape from trouble on the pitch deserted him after dark when his self-confessed alcoholism and partying took their toll in the latter stages of his career.

Suffering from cirrhosis of the liver, the virtuoso died an early death at the age of 49. His remains were shown in the Maracana stadium, where thousands of fans paid their last respects. His coffin was draped in a Botafogo flag as he was led to his final resting place in Pau Grande.

In the cemetery where Garrincha is buried there is a small memorial expressing Brazil's love for the two-time world champion. It reads: "He was a sweet child / He spoke with the birds."

Short Passing

2009-03-27T05:31:00.000-07:00

Passing or bait that is very important in both games. Without all that, the flow of the ball in the team will not be smooth and the ball can easily be seized opponent.

In order to do passing well, basically use the foot in. But this is also a risk of easy to read the direction opposite the ball. In addition, players themselves are often difficult to set up power kick. Therefore, only use this technique to make a short pass.

Filippo "Pippo" Inzaghi exclusive interview

2009-03-24T00:46:00.000-07:00

Obsessed, possessed, fixated. At the beginning though he didn’t feel like celebrating. “You may think I must have been jumping up and down after my first goal in Serie A. It was not so instead, because I scored against Piacenza. I grew up there and I love my roots”. He loves his roots and his family, so much that to the list of his potential heirs (Paloschi, Pozzi, Pazzini) Filippo adds Tommaso, son of his brother Simone. “I hope to see myself in him. But let him grow up first”. He loves his family and tranquility, so much that his fiancée Alessia became the centre of his world and his dog Shirley became an important part of his daily life. His mates nicely take the mick: Pippo crazy about a dog, who would have thought it? And yet Filippo Inzaghi, almost 36, changed but stayed the same. “I try to play like I used to, even if now I’ve got something less from the physical point of view and something more from the psychological point of view”.

Tell us about the night after your 300th goal.

“I didn’t sleep. But then again, after the goals in Athens I didn’t sleep for 10 days. It’s just the way I am, I like to play as if I were 20 years old, I steal the balls at the end of the match. I stole 2 in one week: the one of the hat-trick and the one of my 300th goal as a professional. On the way home, Alessia told me ‘you’re like a child’. She’s right, but I think that’s the spirit that lead me to here”.

You next aim: 318 goals like Baggio?

“I’d like to reach 319, but I know it’s difficult. And I’d like 2 things to happen above all: to be in the Champions League again with Milan and to feel always fine as I do now”.

When do you think you’ll retire?

“I don’t want to draw any line, but I’d like to quit at the right time. I don’t want to be told by other people. My career deserves to end nicely”.

Have you thought about what you’ll do?

“I’d like to pass to children my love for football: often you see many talents fade for silly reasons; I’d like them to understand how many emotions you are given by this, something I find hard to call ‘job’. But I don’t know whether I’ll be a coach, perhaps I’ll be a commentator on TV. The strain of the day before wears me out, I wonder if I’ll be willing to feel it again. Plus I’m too good-hearted to be a coach. Like Ancelotti”.

Ancelotti is doing it successfully though.

“True. And he was good at making everybody love him. I should learn from him. We’ve got a special relationship.

After your 300th goal you received tons of messages and compliments. What was the nicest one?

“I liked them all, I thank everyone. I was moved by the clapping in the changing room in Siena: it should have been me applauding them. And I liked that Beckham compared me to Lineker. When I was a child I wore number 10 because Lineker had it: I used to love him because he scored all the time”.

What is the thing you dislike the most about football?

“The summer break. But I play on the beach anyway”.

They say that you weren’t gifted by nature.

“I don’t really agree: my nous is a gift of nature. They depict me as a robber in the area, but I believe there’s more. I can’t dribble like the fantasisti do, but sometimes it’s me marking the defender rather than the opposite: you never know, the ball could fall well”.

Which of your team-mates do you owe the most to?

“There’s many of them, I’ve had the luck to play for great teams and with great champions. If I were to pick a single name I’d say Kakà”.

Who would you recommend to Milan as a future striker?

“With Pato, Borriello and Kakà, Milan will be fine for years”.

Have you ever done an assist?

“It happens sometimes. I even made one for Baggio”.

Would you like your 301st goal to be against Donadoni, as a revenge for not calling you up for the European Cup?

“I don’t hold any grudge against anyone. I hope that goal number 301 is useful for Milan”.

They never nominate you for the Ballon D’Or: are you annoyed?

“I’m not, because I’m not bothered. My very own Ballon D’Or is the one in Siena. And the ones in Athens, Yokohama, Manchester”.

Speaking of titles, what would you like to say to those who remind you that you’ll have none at the end of this season?

“Hehe, the legendary Galliani said we’re not to reply to Mourinho. I’ll follow his line”.

milan agree to restrictions salary football players

2009-03-24T00:32:00.000-07:00

After ensuring no future in the stock transfer, AC Milan now make efforts in order to minimize the impact of global economic crisis. Rossoneri orbit support for the salaries of players.

Be as before, says Milan will not make much in the summer transfer window later. With the global economic crisis that is still whack, Diavolo Rosso choose to swap players if possible.

Efforts to avoid the bad effects of the crisis is also supported Milan is a matter of player salaries. Although the salary pesepakbola Series A was not a weed in their Premiership, via Milan Adriano Galliani fixed rate of salary needs to be done.

"I think it is very good when applied to the salary restrictions, as is done in the United States. Mendiskusikannya They are still in the League before introducing this system in the Champions League in the near future," said Galliani in wawancaranya with La Gazzetta dello Sport as Yahoosport made.

Followed the man's bald head, the economic crisis that occurred in the last few time also will give great impact on the stock transfer later in the summer. Sell-buy players believed Galliani will never lackadaisical as previous seasons.

"Stock transfer of the summer will be pale and listless waiting for us. Move the remains, but with the amount of money that is not large. This can be ascertained," sai Galliani.

Two-man Combination

2009-03-23T00:26:00.000-07:00

Using the two-man combination. The 2-man combination pass, variously called the wall pass, the "one-two", the "give and go" and other local names, is among the simplest yet most powerful team techniques in football. It requires a fair level of individual skill to pull off, yet this should not stop coaches from introducing it early in the higher youth leagues, nor should players from these leagues neglect it in favor of the all too easy "kick and chase". There are two ways to execute it: (a) pass and run to space for the return pass without pausing or (b) pass then pause briefly to gauge opposing reaction before running into an open spot for the return. In tight conditions, the first method is better, while the second can be used where there is a bit more space to operate.

Power of the two-man combination: Holland vs Brazil, 1974. Simple as it is, the 2-man move can penetrate the teeth of the densest, most negative opposition. Peru brought it to a high art on the World Cup stage in 1970, under their coach Didi, Brazil's former midfield general of 1958 and 1962. Time after time Peruvian forwards like Cubillas, Gallardo, and Sotil put a central combination on the floor that sliced through the opposition and created countless dangerous situations. The Dutch team of 1974 were also disciples of the two-man combination. The diagram here shows the first Dutch goal in the 1974 game that crushed Brazil's repeat championship hopes - product of an exchange between Neeskens and Cruyff. This one actually worked. A two-man move also set up the second goal for Cruyff in the game. Contrast with the "hand" of Maradona below.

Potential of the two-man combination: Maradona's "hand" goal- 1986. The example shown below, the first goal of Diego Maradona against England in 1986, is used to illustrate the potential of the move. Argentina utilized it frequently, being ideally suited to their crisp, quick, short passing style. As he had often done during the game, Maradona initiated the sequence with a quick dribbling run into the packed central area. Surrounded, he began a 2-man combo pass - slipping the ball to Valdano on the right, and then moving up for the reply. Valdano pivoted and attempted to return, but conditions were too tight. Hodge, the English midfielder, intercepted and rather dangerously, attempted to tap the ball back to his keeper, Shilton. The rest is well known. Maradona and Shilton raced towards the floating ball, which connected with Maradona's (human) hand, past Shilton, into the goal. While much controversy still surrounds the goal, Maradona's run illustrates how even the tightest conditions can be pried open with the two-man exchange. It also illustrates how the simple two-man combination can create countless dangerous situations and force opponents into making errors.

Defending Tactical

2009-03-23T00:24:00.000-07:00

Clearing is when the player in possession of the ball is pressed hard, often near his own goal, and chooses to shoot the ball away with low precision simply in order to get out of a dangerous situation. When opponent pressure is extremely high, the ball is often cleared to a corner kick or to a throw-in. Clearing long, but into opponent control, may give the defence time and the opportunity to organize, including setting up the correct formation and pressure height. If the attack was high up the field, such as in or near the penalty area, defenders will thus quickly push out, and attackers will then be forced to retreat in order to avoid offside in the next move. Clearing may be combined with an attempt to hit a long pass or a long through ball. Players high up in the field who are pressed hard, and who are eager to avoid a counter-attack, may in some instances combine clearing with a shot.

A team composed of good passers and mobile players with good positioning skills may more often try to avoid clearing, as their skills make it easier to make shorter passes and thus retaining possession until they get out of a difficult situation.

Retaining possession in this way may also be regarded as a longer-term way of defending, as the opposing team cannot attack when they don't have the ball. With the ball, the team applying this tactic can simply pass the ball between each other - as in the possession football style, but with little or no intention of building up an attack, thus decreasing the risk of a break.

The major benefits of this tactic is that the team is in complete control over its opponents. Meanwhile, by knocking the ball around, opponents playing the pressing game can easily tire. And should an opportunity suddenly arise, defence may be quickly switched to attack. A major downfall is that because the accuracy of passes needs to be high, short passes between the players are required. This significantly narrows the gap between the attack, midfield and defence (usually, the latter is forced to push up). So if the opponent gains possession, a long ball could effectively open up the defence. Similarly, if it is the attack and midfield that need to drop back, the team will have little chances of counter-attacking even if possession is won back.

"Currently, every frightening attack our defense, defense, and every line of the frightening and our future. That gives you confidence, but this task is very heavy."

Eric Cantona

2009-03-20T22:54:00.000-07:00

Eric Daniel Pierre Cantona (born 24 May 1966) is a French former footballer of the late 1980s and 1990s. He ended his professional footballing career at Manchester United where he won four Premier League titles in five years, including two League and FA Cup "Doubles". Cantona is often regarded as having played a major talismanic role in the revival of Manchester United as a footballing powerhouse and he enjoys iconic status at the club. In 2001, he was voted their player of the century, and to this day United fans refer to him as "King Eric". He is the current manager of France beach soccer team.

Cantona signed for United on 26 November 1992, and made his first appearance in a friendly match against Benfica in Lisbon to mark Eusébio's 50th birthday. He made his competitive debut as a second half substitute against Manchester City at Old Trafford on 6 December 1992. United won 2-1, though Cantona made little impact that day.

United's season had been disappointing up to Cantona's signing. They had had problems scoring goals. Brian McClair and Mark Hughes were off form, and summer signing Dion Dublin had broken his leg early in the season, ruling him out of action for six months. However, Cantona quickly settled into the team, not only scoring goals but also creating chances for the other players. His first United goal came in a 1-1 draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on 19 December 1992. It was against Tottenham Hotspur on 9 January 1993, that Cantona really showed his class, scoring one and having a hand in the other goals in a 4-1 victory. However, controversy was never far away, and on his return to Elland Road to play Leeds a few weeks later, he spat at a fan and was fined £1,000 by the FA.

In Cantona's first two seasons at Old Trafford, United went on an amazing run, winning the inaugural Premiership in 1993. By winning that title, Cantona became the only player ever to win back-to-back titles with different clubs. They retained the Premiership and with Cantona's two penalties helping them to a 4-0 win over Chelsea in the FA Cup Final. He also collected a runners-up medal in the Football League Cup, in which United reached the final only to lose 3-1 to Aston Villa.

Cantona was voted PFA Player of the Year in 1994, on the same night that United forced a replay with a 1-1 draw with Oldham Athletic in the FA Cup semi-final. However, his serious disciplinary problem had not dissipated, being sent off a record 4 times in two seasons - two of these dismissals came in successive games in March of 1994, first in a 2-2 draw at Swindon Town and then three days later in a 2-2 with Arsenal at Highbury. This saw him suspended for five matches, including the FA Cup semi-final draw with Oldham Athletic.

Cantona kicks Crystal Palace fan Simmons.In the following season, Cantona became infamous for an incident that occurred on 25 January 1995. In an away match against Crystal Palace, Cantona was sent off by the referee for a vengeful kick on Palace defender Richard Shaw after Shaw had pulled his shirt. As he was being escorted from the pitch by United kit man Norman Davies, Cantona broke away and launched a 'kung-fu' style kick into the crowd, directed at Crystal Palace fan Matthew Simmons, followed by a series of punches.The infamous photograph of the moment Cantona's foot connected with Simmons, was used with permission on the front cover of Ash's single "Kung Fu". The front cover alone generated publicity in the British rock press, which helped the band finally get a hit single when it charted at #57 in the same year.

Simmons was later tried for threatening language and behaviour (it was reported that Simmons had shouted at Cantona - "Get back to France, you f***ing French b***ard),[citation needed]. He received a seven-day prison sentence, but only served 24 hours of his sentence. It was also revealed that Simmons had previous criminal convictions, including an attempted violent robbery in 1992 where he had attacked a Sri Lankan petrol station worker with a spanner in Croydon, and that he had attended a National Front rally a short time before the Selhurst Park incident. His conviction and sentence also resulted in a £500 fine as well as a one-year ban from all football grounds in England and Wales. At a press conference called later, Cantona gave what is perhaps his most famous quotation. Referring to how journalists would constantly monitor his behaviour, Cantona said, in a slow and deliberate

Giuseppe Signori

2009-03-17T23:20:00.000-07:00

Giuseppe "Beppe" Signori (born 17 February 1968 in Alzano Lombardo) is a retired Italian football striker, one of the top scorers in Serie A history. He was a fast, left footed striker who was prolific goalscorer. During the early part of his career he was used as a left winger, where his accurate crossing and pace were put to good use. Famously, he used to squeeze his feet into boots that were too small for him, claiming that this improved his touch and accuracy on the ball.

On the club level, Signori played for Leffe (1984-86), Piacenza (1986-87 and 1988-89), Trento (1987-88), Foggia (1989-92), Lazio (1992-97), Sampdoria (January-June 1998) and Bologna (1998-2004). He then two short abroad experiences: in Greece, in 2004, with Iraklis Thessaloniki. On October 2005 he signed a one-year contract with Hungarian team MFC Sopron.

Signori led Serie A in goals three times, in 1993, 1994, and 1996 (the last title shared with Igor Protti). Overall, he scored 188 goals in Italy's top division, good for seventh all-time (as of 2005). In the summer of 1995 a rumor surfaced that he was to be sold by Lazio to Parma A.C., but the news caused rioting among Lazio fans and pressured management to halt the transfer.

Signori was not able fully to translate his success to the national level, partly due to differences between him and national coach Arrigo Sacchi, who preferred to play him in the midfield. He played for the national side 28 times, scoring seven goals. The only major tournament Signori played in was the 1994 FIFA World Cup, where he set up two crucial goals that allowed Italy to advance.

Signori was also known for his unique style of taking penalty kicks. He would stand next to the ball (without taking any runup) and shoot.

After working as a Serie A football pundit for RAI Radio1,he joined Ternana Calcio in 2008, as the team's director of football.

Manchester United will win Quantuple

"All the people also remember the final in Barcelona, where the same thing also happened. However, if we lose in two of it, then we will only win one trofi."

Rooney Hate Liverpool

Edson Arantes do Nascimento (Pele)

2009-03-14T10:11:00.000-07:00

Edison Arantes do Nascimento better known as Pelé (born 23 October 1940, age 68 years) is a legend of world football that came from Brazil. During his career as a player, Pele was successfully brought into Brazil Football World Champion 3 times as much, namely in 1958 in Sweden, in 1962 in Chile, and Mexico in 1970. Thanks to the success, the Brazilian has the right to Jules Rimet trophy.

He was born in Tres Corações, Minas Gerais, Brazil.

"I was born for soccer, just as Beethoven was born for music." Arrogant, pompous words. Except when they are spoken by Edson Arantes do Nascimento, the Brazilian genius known throughout the football world as Pele.

A veteran of four World Cups, scorer of 1,283 first-class goals - 12 of them in World Cup final tournaments - a member of those magical Brazilian squads that won soccer's greatest prize in 1958, 1962 and 1970.

But just as a collection of notes do not make a Beethoven symphony, statistics cannot capture the majesty of those glorious Brazilian sides. This was football played to a samba beat. Beautiful skills, astonishing speed and ball control - and of all those great players in the yellow and green shirts, Pele was the greatest of them all.

He was lithe, agile, strong and seemed to be able to make the ball do as he pleased. Blessed with a stunning shot and an ability to soar above defences, he was expected to perform some astonishing feat of trickery every time he was in possession.

And Brazil played such adventurous football, always attacking, constantly looking to score. Who can forget the rythmic chanting of their deliriously happy supporters? "Bra-zil, cha cha cha, Bra-zil, cha cha cha."

It was the 1962 World Cup in Chile when those chants were heard for the first time in Europe on TV and British fans were quick to copy. First club names were shouted out, followed by a burst of clapping. Soon the strains of "ee-ay-addeo" echoed round Football League grounds.

Three decades on, the chants may be different. But it was the Brazil of Pele which gave them to the world.

Pele was born in the poor district of Tres Coracoes in 1940. His father, known as Dondhino, was a footballer too, but an undistinguished one.

Pele was in love with football from the time he learned to kick a ball. But his mother was not so keen. Dondhino earned little money from the game and she wanted something better for her son. Had she got her way, football would have been denied one of its greatest talents.

Pele's precocious skill came to the attention of de Brito, a former Brazilian international who began to coach him. In 1954, aged 14, he joined Bauru Athletic Club juniors in Sao Paulo. At 16, despite a knee injury which was to trouble him throughout his career, he moved to Santos where he remained until 1974.

Together, Pele and Santos were to become legends, touring Europe and playing friendly matches. One of the British sides to entertain them was Sheffield Wednesday. As late as 1972, Pele turned out in his club's famous all-white strip to play one half in a goodwill visit to Hillsborough.

It was the World Cup of 1958 in Sweden which was to create the stage for Pele's genius. He was 17 and had won his first cap the previous year. He arrived in Sweden with an injury and was held back until Brazil's third and final group match against the Soviet Union in Gothenburg.

Brazil won 2-0, Pele hit the post, laid on the second goal for Vava and a star had been born. The quarter-final was against Wales. Brazil only won 1-0. The scorer was Pele, his shot deflecting off Stuart Williams. It was his first World Cup goal - and he was to score six in a sequence of three games by the time the final was over.

A hat-trick against France in the semi-final was followed by two goals against Sweden in the final. One of them, a breathtaking effort, was described by the football authority Brian Glanville in his book, The Story of the World Cup.

"Catching a high ball in the thick of the penalty area on his thigh," wrote Glanville, "he hooked it over his head, whirled round and volleyed mightily past Svensson." Pele also hit the post as the Swedes went down 5-2 in front of their home crowd. Brazil had won the World Cup for the first time and a teenage prodigy was on his way to international fame and fortune.

By 1962 Brazil were the undisputed kings of football and Pele was rated the best player in the world. He was just 21. But the Chile finals were to be shortlived for him as Brazil sought to retain their crown.

Their opening match was against Mexico. Brazil won 2-0, Pele scoring a brilliant goal in which he beat four men before putting the ball past the keeper. But in the next game, a 0-0 draw with Czechoslovakia, Pele tore a thigh muscle which put him out of the tournament. Brazil became double world champions, beating Czechoslovakia 3-1 in the final. But if 1962 was bad for Pele, 1966 was worse. This time for him and his country. The year of England's greatest football triumph saw Brazil lose their first World Cup match for 12 years and then they crashed out of the tournament in the first round as Pele was literally kicked off the park by the butchers of Portugal.

Brazil played just three games in the 1966 World Cup, all of them at Everton's Goodison Park. They got off to a reasonable start beating Bulgaria 2-0, Pele scoring from a free kick. But in the second game, with Pele missing through injury, they were given a football lesson by the mighty Magyars of Hungary, going down 3-1.

Pele was back for the crucial tie with Portugal, but it was soon obvious he was far from full fitness. Brazil had made seven changes after that shock defeat by Hungary, but it made no difference as Portugal quickly let it be known they were taking no prisoners. Morais cynically chopped down Pele in brutal fashion and was amazingly allowed to stay on the pitch by English referee George McCabe. Pele was forced off and, though Brazil were merely a shadow of the sides that had ruled the world, football won few friends by the manner of Portugal's 3-1 victory.

Pele vowed never to appear in another World Cup, but by 1970 he had changed his mind. This time the tournament was held in sunny Mexico and this Brazilian team was probably the greatest of them all.

Pele, the boy who had played alongside Zito and Garrincha, the young man who had traded passes with Amarildo and Didi, was now a 29-year-old veteran lining-up in an attack that included Rivelino, Tostao and the incomparable Jairzinho.

And in the heat of Guadalajara he was to take part in one of the finest World Cup matches - the clash of champions against World Cup holders England.

Brazil's opening match was against Czechoslovakia who they tore apart 4-1. However, playing fabulous attacking football, Brazil left themselves open at the back and went a goal down. They soon equalised through a scintillating, swerving free kick from Rivelino. After that, it was one-way traffic, Pele getting the second and Jairzinho the last two.

Now it was England's turn. And what a match it was. This England team was regarded by many as technically superior to the side that had won the World Cup at Wembley in 1966. Alan Mullery was deputed to mark Pele and did a terrific job. But how do you mark genius? By the tenth minute, Pele was stealing in at the far post, towering above England's defence to drive down a Jairzinho cross with a ferocious header.

If ever a goal looked a certainty, this was it. As the ball screamed towards its destination inside the post, somehow, miraculously, Gordon Banks got a hand to it and flicked it up over the bar.

The save of the century? Probably. Pele could only stand and stare in amazement - along with several million incredulous TV viewers around the world.

The game, often branded the "real" final, was a classic. England defended brilliantly, Alan Ball hit the bar, but a Jairzinho goal - laid on by who else but Pele - was enough to give Brazil a 1-0 victory.

Afterwards, a picture of one of the great moments of sportsmanship flashed round the world. It was of Pele and England's captain Bobby Moore, stripped to the waist, swapping shirts and embracing each other, both recognising that the other was a master of his trade. Pele scored twice in Brazil's final group match in a 3-2 defeat of Romania before they disposed of Peru 4-2 and Uruguay 3-1 to reach the final.

Brazil's opponents were Italy and, as both teams had won the World Cup twice, it meant the victors would keep the Jules Rimet Trophy permanently.

Pele, in his World Cup swansong, scored with a spectacular header and made two other goals as Brazil, playing football which seemed on another level to anything the game had seen before, crushed Italy 4-1.

Brazil had become the first nation to win a hat-trick of World Cups. Pele retired from international football soon afterwards, but continued to play for Santos for a further four years. When he finally called it a day at the age of 34, Santos marked his passing by removing the No.10 shirt from their line-up. It was an admission that no-one could compare with The Master.

Giuseppe Meazza

2009-03-13T10:18:00.000-07:00

Giuseppe "Peppino" Meazza (23 August 1910 – 21 August 1979) also known as il "Balilla", Peppin, and sometimes Pepp, was an Italian footballer playing mainly for Inter in the 1930s, scoring 243 goals in 361 games for the club. He is still considered by many to be one of the greatest - if not the greatest - Italian players of all-time, as well as the greatest Italian forward of all time.

He began his career as all out striker, but showed his skill and ability by also becoming an accomplished midfielder, playing for more than half of his career as inside forward. He was a great leader with excellent shooting and dribbling, an eye for the pass and, despite his middle height, an exceptional heading ability.

His nickname, "il Balilla", was given to him in 1927 by his older teammate Leopoldo Conti, who thought "Pepp", who was only 17 when he joined the senior team, was too young to be associated to the senior team, and was surprised after Inter coach Arpad Weisz decided to give Meazza his debut for Inter in his place. He scored two goals on his debut in a 6-2 win against Milanese Unione Sportiva in the Coppa Volta in Como, leaving old "Poldo" Conti speechless The "Gazzetta dello Sport", the day after his official debut in the Italian championship on the 12th of September, 1927, praised his game "intelligent, fresh, quick", something that didn't happen very frequently during those days.

Meazza was born in Porta Vittoria, Milan. Having lost his father at the age of seven during the tragic fighting of World War I, young Peppe grew up in Milan with his mother, Ersilia who came from Mediglia, helping her sell fruit at the market. However, it was football that was his true calling. She hid his shoes so he would not waste his time, so young Peppin learned to play barefoot. He began playing at six years old on the streets on a team named the "Maestri Campionesi" who played with a ball made of rags. At twelve years old he finally got permission from his mother to pursue being a footballer, and began playing for Gloria F.C.

Meazza was the first Italian football player who became famous worldwide, and was the first player with personal sponsors. He loved his cabriolet, champagne and woman. Meazza was famous for humiliating the best defenders of the era and for sleeping at a brothel the night before a match. He would not get out of bed until his teammates were already done practicing. He also loved the Tango and used this proficiency to make him unpredictable on the field. He was a superb dribbler who despite his speed, never had a single hair out of place, and although he was not tall, was remarkably good in the air. Meazza created many chances for his teammates and scored goals as well. His goals "a foglia morta", the "dead leaf technique", were also feared by goalkeepers. He was a brilliant passer, both-footed, had remarkable field vision and was noted for his turns and spins.

His trademark goals were ones where he would collect the ball at the half-line, dribble through several opponents with a series of twinkle-toed shuffles, and turns, until arriving in front of the goal, where he would stop and invite the goalkeeper to attack him like a matador, before faking a shot, then dribbling past the beaten goalkeeper to slot home easily. In away games, the defenders would often foul and hack him to avoid being humiliated. "Goals à la Meazza" and "finte alla Meazza" have since become popular sayings for Italian football fans to describe a truly inspiring goal off the dribble or a series of jukes. Meazza once said, "There is nothing worse than having a penalty kick saved by a keeper who didn't understand the fake."
