It has been so long since I have seen them play like this I have completely forgotten what it looks like! Throughout the game we had the vast majority of possession and attempts on goal. It was magnificent! The true star of the game was un-doubtedly Theo Walcott. The young lad from Southampton was on incredible form and he managed to net a hatrick. May I add that this is the first England hatrick I have seen in years! There is no doubt that Fabio Capello has managed to accomplish something special with the team as their performances reflect this so far. Yet as the results are starting to come I am still not holding my breath to see how we do at the World Cup. Granted beating Croatia at their home ground which is an incredible achievement. No one has beaten Croatia in a competitive match for years and England smashed that record. It was a lesson that Croatia will never forget. For once England showed the world what we really are capable of even if the performances are completely errati …
Soccer teams are normally split into formations consisting of defence, goalkeeper and forwards. Each team will also nominate a captain although this role is not as significant as other sports such as cricket and rugby. The captain will start the game by tossing a coin with the referee and the winning captain has the option of selecting which way their team will shoot. This can be an advantage if there is a strong wind which could change direction by the time the teams reach the second half. Soccer games consist of two halves lasting 45 minutes each although injury time is often added by the referee to cover any stoppages. If the game is a cup tie, a world cup final for example then extra time will be played consisting of an extra two 15 minute periods. If the teams are still level at this stage the game will develop into a penalty shoot with each team nominating 5 penalty kick takers who will try and beat the goalkeeper from the penalty spot (12 yards) until one team wins. During the …

Customer Review: World Cup ball at an amature league price
Mitre Balls are difficult to find in the US. Which is a shame becuase they are, in my mind, superior to the other well known brands. It took me a while to find this ball on amazon.com, so if you got here too consider yourself lucky: this ball is simply an amazing bargain. Comparable balls cost three times as much. Durable, holds its shape,feels “true”. Just get it already.
Customer Review: Best deal around. Great ball!
Mitre makes the best soccer balls in the world. They do not have the marketing clout to compete with Adidas and Nike, and for that reason the company has become more and more marginalized over the past decade, but their soccer balls are still the best.
