It’s rare to see players fighting out on the field during a soccer match. In hockey it’s almost expected, but in soccer it’s almost unheard of. That’s why this new video showing a Brigham Young University player elbowing, punching and pulling hair is making it’s way around the internet like wildfire.
The match was between BYU and New Mexico’s university women’s soccer teams. In the scene you can see that the violent recipient in pleading at the refs to call some of the violent acts. When it became clear that no one was going to call the infractions the violence …read more

David Beckham was the star at the beach today. Film crews and curious fans surrounded the LA Galaxy star to catch him doing what he does best… pose for the camera. They filmed him taking several soccer ball kicks into the ocean for a new travel California commercial. The California commercial from last season is credited for helping California’s travel industry rebound as more and more people are deciding to stay home for the summer. With the economy the way it is, it’s becoming increasingly more difficult to get people to bathe in the California sun. That’s why a little …read more

Learning to freestyle has become increasingly more popular as more young people realize that the techniques could help improve their soccer playing skills. You see it being used by professional players to help dodge the competition. Though the techniques are impressive you should never neglect the skill of getting the ball into the net!
Billy Wingrove has become kind of a teacher on the subject after releasing his DVD “Learn Freestyle Football” in 2006. While popular, the DVD may not be attractive to people already familiar with the basic skill sets.
If you are interested in taking free-styling to the next …read more

I was in the mood for a little comedy this morning (don’t know might just be the weather). So I decided to search for some funny or banned soccer commercials.
Commercials are banned for a whole bunch of reasons, most of them stupid. I came across this commercial that was banned because it showed an alien robot getting killed at the end. Watching a person getting killed is not the same as an alien robot people!
The title is “Soccer Vs Ninjas” and was made by Nike. Funny title since there actually are no ninja’s. They are more like Japanese Samurai’s. …read more

David Beckham has always been a supporter of worthy causes around the world. His most recent charitable commercial was done for ‘Malaria No More’ an organization that helps supply mosquito nets for people in Africa.
Sleeping with a mosquito net is the single best way to prevent the spread of malaria. They cost pennies to make, but for some families the net is considered a luxury they just cannot afford.
On average 350 – 500 million new cases of malaria are reported each year. Of those 1 million will die. The majority of deaths occur in the sub-Sahara region in Africa.

I love that you can find so many interesting people in the streets of Europe. Here in N. America most people hanging out on the streets are those looking for a quick handout.
Well like the Naked Cowboy of New York City, Abdullah of Amsterdam seems to be on his way to making a name for himself. Tourists regularly see this guy dribbling away on LeidsePlein Street in the heart of the old city.
He’s know for his amazing soccer dribbles. In this video, he does all of his moves sitting on the ground, amazing! Check it out.

I first saw this on a technology show a few months ago. It’s a game where they have to program these robots to act independently and play a round of soccer against a competing group.

I was recently called the “dumbest person on the planet” by SoccerGUy in a comment and it got me wondering about who might actually be the dumbest soccer players on the planet.

These guys try to take advantage of a little fake for the refs. (A concept completely foreign to North Americans) If soccer is ever going to really take off in the MLS players need to know that we hate the sissy faking strategies.
Faking injuries needs to end in soccer before it will be embraced by Americans.

Madin Mohammed is a regular six year old when it comes to everything except soccer. Currently living in Algeria Madin, is quickly becoming an internet sensation by impressing millions of viewers of his superior ball handling skills.

Reports are coming in that the child is being closely watched by some of the best soccer clubs around the world. Including Chelsea and Real Madrid.

The Japanese can always find a great, entertaining way to do things. In this game show from Japan, players need to battle each other in soccer. Simple enough? The catch is that they have to wear binoculars. look at what happens.
