The FA Cup

Owen Jones — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 12:41:17 +0000

The FA Cup, or Football Association Challenge Cup to give it its full title, is the oldest football competition in the world. It was started in 1871, when it was suggested that “a Challenge Cup ought to be established in connection with the Association”.

Merely eight teams were entered for the first round which was played on the 11 November 1871. The final was played at the Oval on 16 March, 1872 and was won by The Wanderers who defeated The Royal Engineers by the only goal of the match.

Not only is the FA Cup the oldest association football competition in the world but it is also one of the biggest. It is open to teams who play on most degrees of the English football league system and during the 2009 – 2010 season, 762 teams entered the competition.

Because it is the one competition that mixes teams of all levels of playing ability, it does allow for the occasional ?upset? when a ?minnow? from a lower league defeats one of the more bet on upper echelon clubs.

Whilst at least one such giant killing act will occur in any given season, no non-league club has ever won the tournament since Tottenham Hotspur won the trophy in 1901 while playing in the old Southern League.

For some reason, certain clubs seem to gain a reputation as giant killers and Yeovil Town holds the current record for most wins against teams playing in the league. There are a number of sporting records associated with the FA Cup, some of them standing for a substantial period of time .

One name connected with many early records is that of Lord Kinnaird. He played in the second final in 1873 and then played in a further eight, thereby establishing a record which still stands to this day of playing in nine finals. He played for the winning team no fewer than five times, another record which is still intact.

However he is also accredited with a less fortunate record, that of scoring the first ?own goal” in cup history in 1877. He was playing in goal and involuntarily stepped back past his own goal line.

In 1886 Blackburn Rovers were the second club to win three successive finals, and is the sole club still in existence who can claim this feat as the first club to do so. The Wanderers went out of existence in 1883.

The record for the largest win in FA Cup history is held by Preston North End who in 1887 defeated Hyde 26-0. One of the longest standing sporting records was ultimately broken in 2009 by Everton?s Louis Saha whose 25 second goal beat that of the 30 second goal scored by Bob Chatt of Aston villa in 1895 . A record which had stood for 115 years!

After a timespan of seven years when the Cup final was played at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, while the new Wembley Stadium was being rebuilt, The Cup Final has come back to its traditional home at Wembley where it has been played since 1923 when the famous ?White Horse? took place between Bolton and West Ham. This match also holds the record for people attendance when an estimated 200,000 fans crammed in.

History Of American Football

Owen Jones — Wed, 25 May 2011 18:51:35 +0000

Although there are references to Native Americans playing ball games, modern American football has its origins in traditional ball games played in villages and schools in Europe for several centuries before America was discovered by Europeans.

There are reports of early settlers at Jamestown, Virginia playing games with inflated balls in the early 17th century.

Early games appear to have had a lot in common with the traditional “mob football” played in England, especially on Shrove Tuesday. The games remained pretty much unorganized until the 19th century, when many colleges took up the sport.

In those days, each school played its own kind of football. Princeton students played a game called “ballown” as early as 1820. A Harvard tradition known as “Bloody Monday” began in 1827, which consisted of a mass ballgame between the freshman and sophomore students.

Dartmouth played its own version called “Old Division Football”, the rules of which were first published in 1871, although the game dates to at least the 1830s. All of these games, and others, shared certain rules.

They remained largely “mob” type games, with huge numbers of players attempting to advance the ball into a goal area, often by any means necessary. The rules were uncomplicated and violence and injury were common .

The brutality of these mob-style games led to extensive protests and a decision to abandon them. Yale, under pressure from the city of New Haven, banned the play of all forms of football in 1860, while Harvard did the same in 1861

Two basic types of football had evolved by this time: “kicking” games and “running” (or “carrying”) games. A cross of the two, known as the “Boston game”, was played by a group known as the Oneida Football Club.

The club, thought of by some historians as the first formal football club in the United States, was formed in 1862 by pupils who played the “Boston game” on Boston Common.

Walter Camp is widely thought to be the most important figure in the advancement of American football. He thought of many of the rule changes and playing strategies which made American Football the unique sport that it has become today.

His first suggestion was to reduce the quantity of players from 15 to 11. The effect of this was to open up the game and put more emphasis on speed rather than strength.

Camp’s most famous change, the establishment of the line of scrimmage, was also designed to speed up play although many teams utilized it to slow down the play.

Camp therefore proposed that a team be required to advance the ball a minimum of five yards within three downs. These down-and-distance rules, combined with the creation of the line of scrimmage, transformed the game from a variant of rugby or soccer into the distinct sport of American football.

While it has had a protracted history as a college sport, professional football is a relatively modern institution . The first completely professional game was not played until 1895 and the first known professional league, the National Football League was not formed until 1902

At the end of the 1932 season, the Chicago Bears and the Portsmouth Spartans tied with the best regular-season records. To ascertain the champion, the league chose to hold its first playoff game.

Chicago won, 9-0. The playoff proved so popular that the league was reorganized into two divisions for the 1933 season, with the two winners advancing to a scheduled championship game.

English Soccer Teams’ Nicknames

Owen Jones — Sun, 22 May 2011 13:51:55 +0000

A review of the nicknames used by English football teams reveals a beguiling insight into English social history over the last 150 years.

All football teams appear to get a nickname, bestowed upon them affectionately by their loyal fans. Although in one very famous case – that of Manchester United – the nickname of The Red Devils was in fact invented by the club itself as a marketing ploy, copyrighted and eventually the Red Devil himself was included in the team’s coat of arms.

The origin of the name may seem obvious, or may be lost in the mists of time or even not known today.

In many cases the nickname is derived from the colour of the team?s shirts. Obvious examples of these include:

Chelsea ? The Blues Burnley ? the Clarets Watford ? the Hornets Preston North End – The Lilywhites Liverpool ? The Reds Newcastle United ? The Magpies Coventry City ? The Sky Blues Blackpool United ? the Tangerines Weymouth ? The Terras Cambridge United ? the Yellows Hull City ? the Tigers

Other nicknames are far more prosaic in origin, being based upon abbreviations or contractions of the team?s real name. Examples of these cases include :

Middlesbrough – Boro Rochdale – the Dale Gillingham – the Gills Wigan Athletic – the Latics Queens Park Rangers – QPR Blackburn Rovers – The Rovers Aldershot Town – The Shots Shrewsbury Town – The Shrews Tottenham Hotspur – Spurs Swansea City – The Swans Woverhampton Wanderers – Wolves

Location plays an important aspect in many team nicknames

Sunderland – The Black Cats (named after the Black cat gun battery which was located on the banks of the River Wear) Bournemouth – The Cherries (the stadium was built on the site of a cherry orchard) Carlisle United – The Cumbrians (Carlisle is in the county of Cumbria) Bristol Rovers – The Gas ( their old ground was situated next to the gasworks) Torquay United – The Gulls (Torquay is beside the sea) Tamworth – The Lambs ( the team plays at The Lamb Ground, named after a local pub) Grimsby Town – The Mariners (Grimsby is on the coast) Rotherham United – The Millers ( the pitch is called Millmoor) Sheffield Wednesday – The Owls ( they play in an area of Sheffield known as Owlerton) Kettering Town – The Poppies ( their stadium was built on a poppy field) Blackburn Rovers – The Riversiders (their site is built on the banks of a river) Bolton Wanderers – The Trotters (in the 19th century the ground was situated next to a piggery)

Other nicknames are derived from local occupations or industries:

Sheffield United – The Blades ( local links with cutlery manufacture) Burton Albion – The Brewers ( Burton is a major centre for the brewing industry ) Hereford United – The Bulls (from the local cattle industry) Wycombe Wanderers – The Chairboys ( local furniture industry) Northampton Town – The Cobblers (from the local boot and shoe industry) Yeovil Town – The Glovers (local links to the glove making industry ) Luton Town – The Hatters (Luton was for many years a centre for the production of hats) Crewe Alexander – The Railwaymen ( Crewe was constructed as a railway town

Finally, a short assortment of some of the more humorous, bizarre or obtuse derivations:

Charlton Athletic – The Addicks ( A corruption of the ward ?haddocks? after a local fish and chip shop) Norwich City – The Canaries ( Norwich was a leading centre for the breeding of canaries. The team later adopted the green and yellow of the Norwich Canary as their playing strip) Hartlepool United – The Monkey Hangers (During the Napoleonic wars the citizens of Hartlepool allegedly hung a monkey believing it to be a French spy) Bury – The Shakers (The first Chairman of the club, J T Ingham said before a local derby game against Blackburn ?We will shake them, in fact we are the Shakers?) Peterborough United – The Posh (A previous manager of the team is reputed to have said ?We are looking for posh players for a posh team?)

We hope this look though the history behind the nicknames of English football teams has been amusing and enlightening.

What Is The Beautiful Game?

Owen Jones — Fri, 20 May 2011 16:09:53 +0000

Football, soccer or ?The Beautiful Game? – are all names employed to describe the most well-liked team game in the world. Although the words football and soccer are essentially interchangeable in the UK they have very different meanings in North America.

In the USA the word ‘football’ is taken to signify American Football, a game more akin to the British rugby football, while soccer refers to the game known to the rest of the world as football.

It is peculiar that the word soccer is in fact an English slang term of the word association in the same way that the word ?brekkers? refers to breakfast.

The regulations of football were first set down in 1863 by the Football Association in the UK and these are in essence the same rules by which the game is played by today. However they were merely the first endeavour to codify and standardize the vastly varying types of the game being played in 19th century public schools in England.

However the game has a much longer history and references to a game similar to today?s football can be discovered in the writings of one William Fitzstephen in the late 12th century. At a range of times during the medieval period laws were passed prohibitting the playing of football, largely, it is supposed, because it detracted from the time dedicated to archery practice.

So it could be said that England?s supremacy in France at battles such as Crecy and Agincourt , brought around largely as a result of the success of Welsh and English longbowmen, was a direct result of deficiency of expertise on the football pitch!

Football also fell victim to Puritan censorship and endevours to keep the Sabbath holy as naturally the only time a working man had any free time to indulge in such pursuits was on a Sunday (the Sabbath)

Incidentally, the term ?the Beautiful Game as a synonym for Association football has no great history to it. Its origins are somewhat uncertain as some assert that it was invented by a Brazilian footballer named Valdir Pereira although the English TV commentator Stuart Hall claims to have coined the phrase in 1958.

From its primitive beginnings football has now grown into the world?s most commonly played team sport. F?d?ration Internationale de Football Association, or FIFA as it is more commonly known , now has 208 member countries where an estimated 200 million plus players habitually play the game.

Such is the effect of football that star players from the major European leagues and particularly the English Premiership are now household names the world wide and it is common whilst driving through a remote jungle village in South East Asia to get confronted by a larger than life size portrait of say, David Beckham, marketing something as routine to motor oil.

Little did those men meeting at the Freemasons Tavern in Great Queen St,. London on the morning of 26 October 1863 to set the rules of the game know the immense world wide effect their decisions would have.

Learn Why Coaches Dont Return Your Calls: A Guide To College Football Recruitment

Ron Joshua — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 12:06:59 +0000

The recruiting process for aspiring college football players can be a very confusing one. You show interest in a school, seem to do everything right, but you still don’t hear anything back. Here’s why coaches dont return your calls.

The simplest reason college coaches aren’t calling you back is because they can’t. The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has very specific rules regarding the recruiting process. A good coach follows these rules, because violating them can result in very serious penalties. The complete list of rules can be found on the NCAA website, but here’s a basic guide to get you started.

As a freshman or sophomore in high school, you are allowed only minimal contact with college football programs. Although they are allowed to send you camp brochures or questionnaires, they may not call you, and no official campus visits or off-campus contact is permitted. However, you may call them as often as you like at your own expense, and you can make unofficial campus visits.

In fact, coaches can’t contact you at all until after September 1st of your junior year of high school. At this point, they may send you recruiting letters. You can continue to call them at your own expense, and they are permitted to call you once, between April 15th and May 31st. Unofficial campus visits are still permitted, but no off-campus contact or official visits are allowed.

However, the rules change again when your senior year of high school begins. High school seniors may receive recruitment materials, and they may also take calls from college coaches beginning September 1st. In addition, coaches can finally make off-campus contact, starting the Sunday after the last Saturday in November. Coaches are limited in their contact, however, and only allowed to meet with parents or players off-campus a maximum of six times.

Unlimited unofficial visits are still permitted, and official visits may also occur starting September 1st of your senior year. You may only make one official visit per school, and five visits total. (This includes Division II schools.) You are allowed as many as six evaluations and contacts throughout your senior year, with a maximum of one evaluation per month throughout the months of September, October, and December, and two within the period of April 15th to May 31st.

The rules regarding coach-player contact during the college football recruiting process are complicated, and can have severe consequences if violated. Play it safe and visit the NCAA website to cover all your bases. Remember, you are allowed to call the coach and make unofficial campus visits as many times as you like, so even though these rules are strict, they won’t stop you if you really want to get in touch with a program. Good luck!

If you’re wondering how to get recruited for college football, we would love to help you. Look at some of the college football recruiters and learn what you need to do.

Football – The Hobby That Draws Millions Of People Together

Eliza Cooper — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 10:43:45 +0000

Football is a sport that is a shared interest of many people. It is fun to watch, full of energy and excitement. You probably have come across people you are into fantasy football.

Having your own fantasy football league can be fun mainly because you’re the boss! You get to control your league. You can hire or fire anyone and can make it whole lots fun you. Let’s see how to indulge in fantasy football.

First you have to find a league or make your own privately. Search the internet and you will come across many websites that will help you with scoring and the rules. Guidance of such sort could be purchasable.

A little research may help you out here. You can find information regarding the players in many web pages and magazines so read up so you can have an idea how a player is foreseen to perform in the next season.

Make sure you understand the rules absolutely because you have to start drafting for your team. Along with the players that you have in your team you can also have players as a fall back plan in case something goes wrong with any of your team players. In fact you can also trade your players.

Consider the challengers of your players and each week figure out which of the players would start the game. This can help you in making the strategy and plan better if there is an important competition or match coming up.

Following the settled rules, you should do the scoring by the end of each week which would be determined by the player’s tackles or sacks etc. Players on the bench play as substitutes so keep a look at their scoring too

By the end the team that gets the maximum points would win. A better combination and thoughtful decisions can make you a winner too.

I Want To Play College Football: How Can I Make A Team?

Ron Joshua — Sun, 14 Nov 2010 23:37:50 +0000

Anyone who knows you has heard you say “I want to play college football” dozens of times. But you don’t know what you need to do to make that happen. It’s going to take more than just playing a lot of ball and improving your game. Here are some tips to get going.

The first step is to think about where you want to play. First, list your top five choices that you really want to play for. Then, choose around ten or fifteen schools that aren’t your top choices but you’d still be happy on their teams.

Finally, come up with twenty or twenty-five schools that you like for different reasons, like where they’re located or that they have an academic program you’re interested in. Contacting between 50 to 100 coaches is going to increase your odds of being able to play college ball, as will picking more than just Division 1 schools.

Once you have your list of schools together, you’ll need to write your Educational and Athletic Cover Letter. This should be no more than one page in length and contain all your important school and football information, as well as your contact details.

The educational part should contain ACT and SAT scores if you’ve taken them, your GPA, class rank and extracurricular activities. Under athletic information, include your height, weight, position played, statistics and any honors. Include the email and phone number for your high school coach as well. Letters can be posted on sites for online recruiting. Those sent to coaches should be sent to the coach’s name personally as well as including a couple of lines as to why you want to play there.

The last thing you can do is to make a highlight video that you can post online. Don’t worry about including fancy effects or music. All the coaches are interested in is how you play and they won’t want the distractions. Put your best plays towards the front, as they may not watch the whole thing. Always send your cover letter along with the video.

It may seem like a lot of effort, but it’s what needs to be done so you don’t just say “I want to play college football” but get to actually do it. Put in that effort, keep positive and you’ll have a good chance of achieving success.

When you want to be sure of getting recruited for football, you have to be determined to succeed. Just saying “I want to play college football” is not adequate.

The Best Competition In All Of Sports

Eliza Cooper — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 19:11:54 +0000

Last Saturday, the greatest sporting event in the world kicked off. No, I’m not talking about any strictly American sport, nor am I talking about MMA, basketball, or baseball, cricket, or any other sporting event that immediately comes to mind. Am I talking about the UEFA Champions’ League, the soccer glamour competition that ESPN and Fox Sports have created into a pretty common event in America? The answer remains no.

This is the FA Cup, a one of a kind tournament, the likes of which can’t be compared to anything that takes place in the US. This is a massive tournament that allows soccer teams of all sizes to compete equally against one another for a chance at glory.

But what makes this event so special and so deserving of your time? The simple fact that it is so large and so unpredictable and that literally anything can happen in any round between any two teams. 762 teams compete for the FA Cup through 14 different rounds (six qualifying rounds, six rounds of the FA Cup “proper,” along with the semifinal and the final, which will be held at Wembley Stadium in London again this year). Any team in the top 9 levels of the English football pyramid (if we were to somehow, place this in the context of American football, it would essentially be like all American football teams from high school and above) can enter the tournament. All matches are single knock out, with the losing team going home and the winning team advancing. Through the 14 rounds of the FA Cup, literally anything can happen.

Huge teams like Manchester United compete against virtual unknowns. Think of a baseball team, not even a minor league team. A team that plays in some kind of regional league that you’ve never heard of. To put it into baseball terms, teams like these have chances to compete against teams like the Yankees and Red Sox, giving every English soccer club a fair chance at glory.

This is where legends are made. Take the Cup from 20 years ago, where Sutton United ousted Coventry City, a premier team. Sutton United wasn’t even a member of a league, akin to an amateur recreational team. Then there’s the 1975 contest, where amateur team Wimbledon FC ousted premier team Burnley and then went so far as a draw with the defending champs Lees in the third round.

The unpredictability, as shown in just some of the examples above, is what makes it so special. The fact that a team such as Chelsea traveled to Coventry City last year makes the event special. Could you imagine the Packers traveling to play an Arena Football League team? Literally every team has a chance, if they keep winning, to get a huge game like that at home. Once the teams take the field, anything can happen.

The best thing I can compare it to on an American level is March Madness, only over 10 times the size. Think about the way that the 16 seeds get a chance to play behemoths like UNC, and how exciting it is for them. This brings it all to a completely new level. The possibilities are endless.

To make it even better, this tournament lasts for 10 months per year. Everyone loves March Madness, and expresses their sadness once the two weeks end. This can’t even compare when you look at the length. Watch this wonderful event if you possibly can, you won’t regret it.

What You Have To Learn About Football And Its Effects To Youngsters

Rick Taylor — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 09:21:38 +0000

Football is still one of the most popular games among youngsters the world over, with millions of kids aspiring to play the sport professionally one day. There are a lot of advantages to playing football. It has been said that footballers have the most stable minds and probably the strongest legs of all the athletes.

To be able to attain anything from playing football you have got to be really dedicated and be well disciplined, never choosing to let up in your pursuit and training as hard as you possibly can.

The daily workout is a pivotal part of keeping a footballer fit in both body and mind. To become a professional footballer you must be fully committed and be able to handle the disciplined regime.

It takes as lot of stamina to become a good footballer and it also takes great powers of concentration. Concentration has to be one of the most important things to learn when playing football as the slightest lack of concentration could prove costly in many ways. You could either injure yourself or somebody else if you are not concentrating and you could also lose the game.

Professional footballers are the role models that young kids always look up to. This is why they should always act in a responsible manner. Football is all about working as a team and working with the right attitude and commitment. You have to prove that you are competitive but that you are also fair minded.

Going into games with the wrong attitude is a sure fire way of you losing the game. It can also lead to you getting into trouble. This can have a profound effect on the young people that are watching and they may think that it is alright for them to act that way outside of football.

Football teaches people very early on how they can handle success and failure in equal measure. This is a good trait to carry with you into life outside of football.

Schools and colleges have implemented football as an extra curricular activity because of the influence it can have on student’s lives away from the pitch.
