Thierry Henry is a free man. Many fans believe Thierry Henry deserved to be penalized for his hand ball that secured a spot for France in the World Cup and sent Ireland home ending their dreams of playing in South Africa.

I was rooting for Ireland in this match up. As unfair as it is, I believe the decision by FIFA is the right decision. I’ve had a few debates with some friends recently and there are some comparisons that we’ve made that really make it clear to us.

Take any other sport, for example Michael Jordan and basketball. If MJ traveled during a big game that led to a game winner (knowing he did this), there would be absolutely no chance he would be penalized in any way. There’s a team that would get the blame and that’s the team of the referee’s. This wouldn’t be MJ’s fault, things happen during games!

According to FIFA’s rules, they couldn’t find anything that would give them a legal right to fine Henry. Basically, they agreed that a hand ball is NOT worthy of any sort of fine. The refs should face a fine before Henry should – it’s their job to make the calls.

It would have been a shame to see a superstar of Henry’s caliber on the sidelines during the World Cup this summer. The punishment he was facing could have kept him out of the World Cup for several games. This is the most elite soccer tournament in the World and it would not be the same without his presence.

I’ve played soccer my entire life at high levels in the States and I’ve been part of some heart-breaking calls. Some were in my favor and some were against us, but the fingers could only be pointed at one person – The ref! It was never an issue with the players as it’s not their responsibility.

Ireland was so upset about this that they asked FIFA to replay the match. I was hoping for a rematch, but I knew that FIFA would turn it down. They can’t overturn the call and allow a rematch, but maybe this pushes for FIFA to begin using technology to help overturn calls. I would hate to see official reviews in the middle of a soccer game, but I’m not opposed to adding a referee to the end-line.

All soccer players have done something against the rules and been successful doing it. It’s part of the game! Unfortunately for Ireland, Henry got away with a bit too much and it meant a spot in the Worlds greatest tournament!

As a goalie myself, I know how important it is to have the right gear when you’re playing in net. I’ve always been the goalie who loved the newest equipment and always stayed on top of the latest trends. I would usually follow the trends of the pro goalies and then wait for Christmas! In this article I’ll share some of the different options available for a goalie gloves today.

When you begin your search for a new pair of goalie gloves, first figure out what type of glove you’re looking for. They make goalie gloves for different conditions, such as bad weather, harder surfaces, for match play only or just training purposes and even for extra protection. Since goalie gloves can get expensive, figure out your budget as well and then determine your size. This can be done by heading to the nearest sports store.

My favorite goalie gloves on the market are made by Uhlsport. I’ve only used this brand for gloves and their top model is called the Uhlsport Cerberus Bionik Goalkeeper Glove. I highly recommend this glove for games, not for training purposes.

This goalie glove made by Uhlsport is one of the most durable gloves made. It’s made with a patented grip foam which is soft and thick. The design is very similar to the human hand, which allows for great support by the spines placed in each finger. These gloves are on the expensive side and can be purchased for $169.99 at soccer.com.

Reusch is another brand that specializes specifically in goalie gear and they do a very good job at it. Their top glove is called Reusch Raptor R1 Ortho-Tec Glove and it’s a bit more affordable than the previous option. They’re made with extra thick foam and some soft latex on the backhand which makes them extremely comfortable. These goalie gloves are great on indoor surfaces and hard outdoor grounds and also provide great protection around the fingers.

These Reusch gloves are priced at $99.00 on soccer.com. They’re also great for match play and high level practice sessions. If this is in your budget, this is one of the best overall gloves you’ll find. I’ve had very good luck with them and the reviews are always great.

There are a few major differences you’ll notice as the quality of goalie gloves decrease. The biggest differences are in the thickness of the cushion and foam. You’ll also notice less support on the fingers. A better pair of soccer goalie gloves will also last longer so I always recommend spending a bit extra if possible.

I hope this has helped you understand a few options available for soccer goalie gloves and good luck finding your new pair!

The key element for one of the most popular sports in the world, soccer balls come in different designs, sizes and weights. The diversity also extends to the materials soccer balls are made of and the features of the final product. Here are a few technical details on the structure and the making of soccer balls that many of us know nothing of when having fun in a nice game.

The surface of soccer balls consists of several coverings that are not made of natural leather as it seems at first sight but rather from synthetic materials that keep the balls lightweight even when it’s damp outside. Synthetic leather is the most commonly used, being made of poly vinyl chloride or PVC and polyurethane. Even the types of artificial leather that soccer balls are manufactured of are too many in number to know and differentiate.

Depending on the design of the soccer balls, the various segments of the exterior cover, also known as the panels, present specific features. There can be 32, 26 or 16 panels  with the mention that 32-panel variant is normally used in the majority of official games. Yet, the others are encountered with some leagues in Scotland and England. Soccer balls create nearly perfect spheres once the panels are sewn together and inflated.

A special material called the lining is used between the internal bladder that holds the air and the outer covering. These intermediary layer can be made of polyester or laminated cotton, thus contributing to the strength and the bounce properties of the finite product. In the professional design of soccer balls, up to five different linings can be used, although practice balls include fewer linings.

As for the bladders that actually keep the soccer balls inflated, differences do appear here as well, particularly because of the nature of the materials. Soccer balls can be manufactured either from latex or butyl. While the surface tension brought by latex or natural rubber is unparalleled, the tiny pores in the structure of this material cause the soccer balls to deflate.

In order to keep the ball practical, you’ll have to re-inflate it at least once a week. Butyl soccer balls on the other hand have an excellent air retention capacity and rely on valves for this process.

Most teams have a soccer ball pattern that any real fan will spot within a glimpse of an eye. However, if you have no soccer experience it is almost impossible to identify similarities in game structure and the way the players try to score, move, dribble or pass the balls. According to experts the soccer ball pattern results from very good analytical thinking and quality training. When a player knows the pattern well and uses personal experience or knowledge on the field, the benefits extend to the entire team. Moreover, the soccer ball pattern cannot be performed individually, since it depends on the unity in the soccer formation.

The way the team colleagues work together is developed during trainings, and the coach is the one to teach the soccer ball pattern so that the players have a good performs for the assigned individual position on the field. The full mastery of the soccer ball pattern results from years of practice and a constant evolution. Thus, the strategy of the opposing teams is always under scrutiny, since all the weaknesses and merits can be further used in the personal soccer ball pattern. The entire team contributes to the creation of the soccer ball pattern since it is not the merit of one individual alone.

Amateurish players don’t know how to develop a real soccer ball pattern, but great skills don’t come with amateurish playing. Most of the time players have a constant movement or action on the field and only very often really manage to change the quality of their game. This can sometimes be a problem for the success on the field, but since professional achievements are not an issue here, things should remain relaxed. Therefore, the soccer ball pattern doesn’t make an objective in itself when playing just for fun.

All in all, the soccer ball pattern develops only by team playing particularly in professional leagues and championships. Although not easy to characterize or identify by an untrained eye, it is an inherent part of the training standards specific to every team. Any coach will do his/her best to make all the players contribute to the creation of a good soccer ball pattern that can win goals or points and bring the success of the team. Yet, if the pattern is to blame for the lack of success attributed to various matches, it will most often be replaced or changed.
