Calderon closure of a match, and still is a lot
What was a sanction of two matches with an option for three Vicente Calderon has become a sanction for a party with an option for two . The Appeals Committee of UEFA ruled Friday ruling, so the stadium of Atletico Madrid will be affected in the clashes before the Champions League for PSV Eindhoven (next Nov. 26), which should be closed or what that is, without the presence of the public, something to which Enrique Cerezo has already said it intends to use (in this case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport).
What ‘funny’ is the theme that the second meeting in which Calderon should remain closed conditional on good behavior of the rojiblancos swollen and his alleged racist shouts. Translating that if any rival fans colchonero treads the coliseum and the lees as did those of Marseille, the Vicente Calderon will again be punished for that meeting yet. Shortly imported videos and clear the allegations, nor the example lived a few days ago with the twin of the Liverpool fans. UEFA has continued in its thirteen and Calderon will have to be closed.
A Javier Aguirre maintains he is the sanction of two matches for insulting the French club Valbuena and a fine of 150,000 euros. Either way, and though the punishment has been reduced, it seems unconscionable. Pulling topic, have just finished paying for sinners.

What is known as “peloteo”
I could not avoid drawing a smile on my face when I saw that the author of the quoted phrase was none other than Javier Saviola . Pobrecillo is the first thing I had been at the helm. If you already have enough crude oil to enter the plans of his coach at Real Madrid, Bernd Schuster, I do not know what to do to make the brand new selector Argentine Diego Armando Maradona , keep it in mind for future calls. O yes, yes I know.
Of course, is to play something. And no, with all due respect, Cup Matches to be confused with Pachanga. We have to play at the highest level, as and when it did so superb in Seville, assiduously, or on top of the stage as his first pass. The first thing you should do Saviola, apart from praising his new DT, which is not bad but it will soon, is a team where he sought to relaunch his career . How strong the ‘Pibito’ is that it still has 27 years, so you can ahead, and widely, be who he became.
So, should find a package that will ensure confidence, not millions , so your cache again to shoot. In Madrid, as in his last year in Can Barca, is wasting time. Schuster as evidenced last season and is on track to repeat history. If you play, if you score goals, if you come to be such a bunny who got his hat was endiabladas moves, the purest Romario, who returned locas to the defenses and making his goal of the flag, perhaps some day return to the albiceleste.

Football games: Goal 92
This game used to be in a room that frequented recreation and not had too many followers, ‘to’ and so on the role that attracted the machine, as it was of considerable size and consisted of four checks, which became one of the first games of football that could combine up to four players. In fact I think that whenever I tried the experience of playing in the same team or two against two, either in this or any other games, the most common is that the game became an endless complaints of reproached pass and a oto a player …
The
graphics presenting this title were pretty decent, especially those representing almost a digitized image of the “star” of each participant selection, which represented the most outstanding players of each combined national at that time. Among the various “doubles”, we can distinguish Emilio Butragueño, Maradona, Paul Gascoigne, Rijkaard, Rudi Völler …
The main
handicap however, and the reason we did not have much success, it was his short game play. Apparently the movements of the players were fluid and control of the spherical Acura, but especially so was desperately trying to shoot, whether the shooting live, the short pass or the pass pumped, because for any of these three alternatives, the While the player needed to run the shot up and was enough for a player came to you and contrary to displays without concern for the ball.
So, the game became a
succession mamporros a clever and sinister kind Hat Trick Hero (who did harm to this title fair play virtual), only this time there is not even a referee close you in touch: everything is permitted: segadas, flying kicks …
Because of all this
the level of difficulty was significant. This also contributed a feature not very common in football games: the user completely controls the movements of the goalkeeper: so each time a striker is approaching your area, should be subject to properly position the goalkeeper as if out of football.
An outstanding feature was that at some point in the game, you had the opportunity to make a sort of “superdisparo,” provided that the bar appeared below the star player in question is filled entirely before someone you snatch the ball. This bar assessed only when the star player receiving the ball, just after marking goal.
As aa music and effects, rather than discrete very consistent with the feeling
heaviness transmitting the game: you feel like you’re disputing a match in La Paz at three in the evening.

Video: Spurs, Pop ‘Hack-a-Shaq’ just five seconds into the s

Football games: Tecmo World Soccer 96
Those who were lucky enough to have a Neo Geo console speaks wonders of the ‘98 version of this saga, which unfortunately I have not had a chance to play. On the other hand, if I gave him enough to command in this release earlier in the version for amusement machines.
This is a game whose creation had to come from something like this: The head of Tecmo quoted its programmers, taught them the Hat Trick Hero and especially the Super Sidekicks 3 and told them: hacedme something like that, but we do not denounce for plagiarism. And so hiceron, but stayed to the limit in the latter, hypothetical instruction from his superior.
And that is the feeling déjà vu is the first time that big shots controllers for this game, since the screen presentation and the selection of teams, organized by geographical areas as in the Super Sidekicks. But similarities continue: movements of the players, how to pass the ball, holding the goals, the zooms … but yes, this title falls well behind that.
The argument is not original: the country that we want to choose between a rather wide range of options and move around if we can, because the level of difficulty of the game is quite elevadito. Each country has its own characteristics speed, power shooting, the ability of the goalkeeper, and so on. The game brings the lucrative novelty that if you continue to base line of credit, you can raise one point the attribute you want from your computer. This was discovered only recently, thanks to emulators, because the truth is that never, a little pride and another for economy, used to throw a coin over each item.
One of the few that provides news, and quite creative, is that in certain moments of the game when a player controls the ball, there is a “Faint”. A duel between the player who has possession and a defender in which you must choose which side you try to go to his mark, while the defender to decide which side is covered, if he comes to think or do not leave it recedes a little, and so on. One of the more interesting parts of the game and one of the most effective ways of marking a goal, because if you are the attacker and salts of the victorious race, the player is packed unopposed into the area and his shot is more potent than the usual .
One point in favor, but on the other hand, and normal at this stage of the decade, are the voices in off during the game that indicate different hauls during the match. However music and other effects are generally discrete, ‘to’ and this was a big mistake for programmers, who overlooked how these traits sound that transmit the emotion of a game really contributed to the success of Super Sidekicks .
Top desperate game were passes: the short pass was generally where I wanted to go over and over by anyone, so it was difficult to move the ball exactly where you wanted. In the end, the more juice in this forgettable game drew him playing with friends.

Is the figure of mediapunta losing?
I recently commented to a friend has passed the golden age of mediapuntas, or hooks, or offensive midfield or as they call them. Such a player with great technique, race and pass past that is behind or in front of the team. And I think that is true. A few years ago not stopped appearing on the soccer showcase mediapuntas, usually from South America, cuto name was always good resonance in the media, although with mixed luck.
Riquelme, Aimar, D’Alessandro, Montenegro, Rivaldo, Zidane, Totti, Insúa, Ronaldinho, Guti, Del Piero, Ortega … and many others. A position which by its nature puts you for better and for worse in the center of all eyes. In this way, those who succeed in this position tend to fill the rankings of best players in the world, while those who unaccountable to pass the memory as big “Bluffs.”
Some of these players are originally favored by playing in leagues that do not have the defensive intensity of the European leagues. I have always had the feeling when I see a match of the Argentine league, that highlights a lot because no mediapuntas have over the effaceurs game that so often mark by the leagues of the old continent.
Explains Yago Lopez Vila in his blog on Sports Channel disuse of this position in favor of the more conservative and defensive double pivot. Well, I think quite the opposite: the mediapunta through the center is a favorite choice among those coaches who rely on the double pivot to send in the defensive midfield and a single striker. In this scheme, what is lost is the “playmaker” pure, or organizer of the game.
The current trend in many cases already resigned to the double pivot in favir to put a midfielder organizer, a more destructive and preferably two points. This leaves no place to mediapunta coupling through the center, which assume new roles. And this transformation is often placed on the band. And if it is in the band against his side, the better. It is a resource of Dutch origin and that we see often: the best times of Ronaldinho on the left, Howard moved to the band, Leo Messi, Wesley Sneijder … for me these are very difficult to find spaces to rival defensive.
Another trend that is successful is to combine the functions of organizer of the game and a half point in the same player, which requires an exquisite ability of this tactic. In this facet is a master Xavi Hernandez for example: it is good look at him in every game and looks like break in midfield, collected the ball, the moves, it moves around metritos, the returns to catch, the re-release … until he appears in the area when nobody expects it to create times of danger. For the same path you are walking Cesc Fabregas.
In this way, hitch, such as energy, is not created nor destroyed but is transformed.
More than numbers
As in any sport where players take a number, in football shirts in the numbers of the players started as a mere useful resource to distinguish the players, both for referees and for the players, but has finished in deriving much more than that. Indicate a simple order number rose to indicate a position on the field and have ended up becoming something symbolic, especially through two stages: one in which the number was changed to designate the position, the other from it was popularized the practice of granting a single number to each player of the template for the entire season.
According to David Keyes on Culture of soccer, was in 1928 when it was implemented for the first time putting a number of players. It was specifically in two matches played on August 25 that year in England, one faced the Arsenal and The Saturday - later renamed Sheffield Wednesday; on the disputed Chelsea and Swansea Town. It was the start of a practice that lead to mainly a historical legacy full of symbolism and various curiosities.
Today we are still talking about the positions of players such as the number that used to define them (he plays five, runs away from the lane seven, nine plays, etc.). This association refers in part to the classic 2-3-5 formation, where the numbers follow the order from back to front and from right to left. So, that 1 out the door, 2 the right side, 3 left … was imposed on all sides. On the other hand, refers to the formation used by Ajax, to impose his 3-4-3 system, used a diverse numerology in which, for example, the 3 was the libero and 5 the left side. And the most important: 10 it took half the peak, the “false front.”
And it is that 10 was the number of the most prominent players of the team, the most skillful, the leaders. Bring the mystical number symbolizing perfection is an added responsibility in most countries of the world. In some, such as Argentina or Brazil, represents a liability only accessible to the privileged. In its day Maradona and Pele were the “tens” par excellence. But it took him Matthäus, Roberto Baggio, Laudrup, Zico and Platini. O traveling a little further back, legends such as Sindelar, Kopa, Puskas or Meazza .
With the “buffet” of numbers given only a few years ago, in which players can take during the season the number they want as long as no more than two digits, in some cases maintains the mystique and many players remain wedded the desire to bring the number of his idols, or one that reflects its position on the field. Others find a reason symbolic or creative and others simply see it as a marketing move: you just have to remember the concession from 23 to David Beckham when he played for Real Madrid which was envisaged as an open door to gain market USA using the same number as Michael Jordan.
In this way, in some cases striking: Khalid Bhoularouz 9 chose when he arrived at Chelsea despite playing defense like the attitude of Arsenal’s French William Gallas with ten to their backs . Other players cling to the tradition above all else: Zamorano was never willing to give up his number 9 that it defined as the killer of the area that was, but when he arrived at Inter, the number was already occupied and the Chilean chose 18, which added a little plus sign “for the outcome of their coveted back.
In other numbers like “fat” for different reasons: Lizarazu wore for a while because 69, said, was born in 1969 and measured 169 centimeters, and what we believe. Lucarelli took 99 with Livorno, as well as the goalkeeper Vítor Bahia with Porto. Ronaldinho clung to a marketing campaign to showcase 80 … Buffon in his day took the 88 in the ranks of Parma, but this began to raise suspicions because it is an issue of utmost importance in the fascist symbolism. To avoid controversy, the Italian was left with 1 whole life …
For almost any choice is random number. And if so, it also means something: perhaps that gives less weight to their individuality within the team.
