Last occupants at number five is the Dutch attacking midfielder who is now in uniform Arsenal, Robin van Persie. Speed that can be taken RVP was 32.1 km / hour.

"Maybe time will come when I said, 'That's enough." But seeing the current situation, it did not come, "he said.

Beckham himself was looking forward to if he could play in the 2010 World Cup. At least until qualifying coach Fabio Capello has never failed to put his name into the Three Lions squad.

His desire to play in the 2010 World Cup might have accomplished it, but what about the 2014 World Cup? Almost a year ago AC Milan team doctor, Jean-Pierre Meerseeman, has said that Beckham has excellent physical condition. Therefore, it is possible he was playing until the age of 40 years.

"Beckham can stay fit until five or six years," said Meerseeman at that time.

Goal spectacular Figueroa

Stoke - This week may mean special in a Maynor Figueroa. Wigan Athletic defender had scored a spectacular and probably the best in his career

Wigan come to the United Stadium, the stable Stoke City, Saturday (12/12/2009) night WIB and action into 72 minutes and the score was 1-1.

At that Wigan get a free kick in midfield and Figueroa was picked. Time to hesitate when taking, he kicks off a direct unexpected sinking smoothly into the Stoke net guarded Thomas Sorensen.

Yes, a beautiful goal, and practically just created a spectacular player that Honduras passports. And it was his first goal this season from 12 appearances.

Unfortunately, Wigan failed to secure the three points and had to settle for a draw play 2-2. The Latics were still tied to the order of the standings with 13 points from 18 over 16 action.

"The arrogance shown in the football when taking a kick Maynor was truly extraordinary," says architect Wigan, Roberto Martinez, after the action that was launched Reuters.

Ex-Euro champs Bayern, Juve play for last-16 spot

LONDON (AP)—With six European titles between them, Bayern Munich and Juventus have grown accustomed to advancing in the Champions League, but one of them will be eliminated Tuesday when they meet in the last round of the group stage.

Having already seen five-time champion Liverpool crash out two weeks ago, AC Milan, Inter Milan and Marseille also know that their status as former European Cup winners doesn’t make them immune from exiting in a tense finale.

Even Barcelona could become the first holders to exit at the group stage since the Champions League revamp in 1992-3, although—like fellow Spaniards Real Madrid—Pep Guardiola’s team only needs a draw to clinch a spot in the last 16.

Already assured of advancing are Premier League sides Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal, along with FC Porto, Fiorentina, Lyon and Sevilla.

Bordeaux can also breathe easily having topped Group A and the French side is an onlooker as Munich and Juventus face off for second.

A repeat of September’s 0-0 draw at Germany would see double-European winner Juve prevail because they are a point ahead of Munich.

“We must be wise and humble and understand that if we put all into the match we can do well,” Juve captain Alessandro Del Piero said.

Knowing it has to win in Turin to advance, Bayern, which captured its fourth continental title in 2001, is determined to ignore the Italians’ 16-match unbeaten home run in the Champions League.

“Bayern is not a team that gets eliminated in the first round,” said striker Mario Gomez, who has scored in each of the last three matches.

But Bayern will be without midfield star Franck Ribery, who has only recently started practicing again after being sidelined for two weeks with tendinitis in his left knee.

The teams with the most European Cups between them—Madrid (nine) and Milan (seven)—occupy the top two qualification spots in Group C, but 1993 champion Marseille could deny either of them a place in the knockout phase on Wednesday.

Third-place Marseille must beat Real to have a chance of advancing. If FC Zurich, which can’t take the Europa League spot, can repeat its earlier victory over Milan, Marseille would advance alongside Madrid even by beating the Spanish club.

Madrid, which is without the injured Kaka, can only be eliminated if Marseille beats them by at least a three-goal margin and Milan also triumphs.

But Madrid drawing with Marseille would send the big-spenders through with Milan regardless of the Italian side’s result.

“This is a game we have to win to advance, independent of what Marseille does,” Milan vice president Adriano Galliani said. “After a tough start to the season (coach) Leonardo has made his mark and we’ve rediscovered our identity.”

It’s harder to predict the outcome of Group F on Wednesday with Barcelona, two-time winner Inter, Rubin Kazan and Dynamo Kiev embroiled in a four-way tussle.

Barcelona is in the strongest position as the three-time champions are guaranteed to advance with a draw in Kiev. That result would also send Milan through if Jose Mourinho’s side avoid losing to Rubin Kazan.

Barcelona could only be eliminated if it loses by a three-goal margin and there is a winner in the other fixture.

“(Kiev) is the most important game of the year, the one that will decide the course of our season,” Guardiola said. “But I am confident.”

Group G leader Sevilla, which hosts Rangers, is the only Spanish team guaranteed to advance. Christian Gross’ first task as Stuggart manager will be masterminding a victory Wednesday over Unirea to dislodge the Romanian champions from second.

In Group B, Man. United just needs to draw at Wolfsburg on Tuesday to secure top spot, but the German champions can still be caught by CSKA Moscow in the tussle for second. CSKA must better Wolfsburg’s result against leader United.

To join Arsenal in advancing from Group H, second-place Olympiakos just needs to draw with the Premier League club on Wednesday. Should the Greek side lose at home, Standard Liege can advance by beating AZ Alkmaar.

Group C’s top two places have already been taken by Chelsea and Porto. Atletico Madrid, which hosts Porto, will take the Europa League place by matching Apoel Nicosia’s result at Chelsea. But the Cypriot champions have to better Atletico’s result to continue their European journey.

The only remaining issue in Group E on Wednesday is whether Lyon can topple Fiorentina from the summit by beating Debrecen and hoping the Italian side loses at Liverpool.

FIFA must take a stand on cheating

FIFA president Sepp Blatter is currently recovering from an operation to fix an unknown ailment (an enlarged ego, possibly?), but he’ll have plenty to occupy his thoughts during his recuperation.

Apart from sifting through a bunch of “get well soon” cards from his, er, adoring legions across the globe, Blatter needs to get his mind around how to handle the cheating controversy that has engulfed the sport.

Thierry Henry’s deliberate handball that helped put France through to the World Cup at the expense of the Republic of Ireland is the first topic that the soccer world will demand Blatter to answer. FIFA has already decreed that the playoff game cannot and will not be replayed, yet there is still action Blatter could take.

There have been calls for Henry to be banned from the tournament, which may seem harsh at first glance. However, Irish players like Shay Given and Robbie Keane will be denied the chance to participate due to his actions, so why should Henry get a free pass?

As usual, it’s highly unlikely that Blatter will take any real productive action, especially when there is a big-name player from a leading nation involved. But he’s facing growing pressure to do something about the fair-play issue that is soccer’s current primary topic of discussion.

Henry’s indiscretion only temporarily diverted attention from the diving epidemic that has rocked the game, and it must be addressed before next year’s World Cup. If video replays are not a realistic option, according to Blatter, then he needs to find another solution to cut down on the growing need to feign injury.

The behavior of leading managers is not exactly helping. Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez spoke out strongly against diving earlier this season, insisting that it is a stain on the sport and needs to be eradicated. Yet Benitez refused to censure his own player, David N’Gog, for a blatant dive that won a penalty in a recent game against Birmingham.

Soccer sure has some headaches, and the bedridden Blatter has much to consider. Over to you, Sepp.

Weekend Best XI

1. Get him some Advil

Bob Bradley did a fine job in steering the U.S. to the World Cup, but he faces a stern test once he gets there. The structure of the draw for the tournament means that the U.S. is in the worst possible pot, which dictates it can’t face any of the weakest sides in the same group. The U.S. is virtually guaranteed to be up against three strong opponents.

2. Get him a beer

Jermain Defoe might have just booked his spot on England’s World Cup squad after smashing five goals past Wigan in an extraordinary 9-1 English Premier League rout on Sunday. Defoe struck a hat trick in only seven second-half minutes and added two more to put himself ahead of Michael Owen in Fabio Capello’s pecking order.

3. Get him some earplugs

It seems we’re always talking about Rafa Benitez, so here we go again. Benitez faces his latest do-or-die game this week, with Liverpool needing to beat Hungarian outfit Debrecen to stand any chance of advancing in the UEFA Champions League. Failure to do so will put the Benitez-haters into overdrive – and probably cost him his job.

4. Keep an eye on …

Arsenal striker Robin van Persie’s knee injury. Van Persie has gone to extreme lengths to minimize his layoff time, having horse placenta injected into his knee with the hope that it will help him heal faster. His involvement is crucial if Arsenal is to stay on course in the EPL and Champions League.

5. Catch a flight to …

Barcelona. Next weekend’s clash between Barca and Real Madrid could go a long way toward deciding the fate of the La Liga title. The hosts have some problems, though, with Lionel Messi headlining a list of six injured players who are in doubt for the Nov. 29 contest.

6. Useless and completely made up statistic of the week

11 percent – The number of people in Seattle who do not own a Seattle Sounders scarf.

7. Sad goodbye

More than 15,000 mourners turned up to a stadium mass in Monterrey to honor Mexican star Antonio De Nigris last week. The 31-year-old De Nigris, who played for Greek side Larissa, died of a suspected heart attack on Nov. 16. He represented Mexico 16 times.

8. Get ready to say hello to …

Cristiano Ronaldo. After a nice little break – sorry, injury layoff – Ronaldo is ready to return to Real Madrid in fine spirits. While he was out, Portugal squeezed into the World Cup, Madrid ascended to the top of La Liga and his ankle problem has healed faster than expected.

9. Get ready to say goodbye to …

David Beckham. Sunday’s MLS Cup final was Beckham’s final game for the Los Angeles Galaxy until July of next year. He’ll depart for a loan spell at AC Milan and potentially the World Cup in South Africa with England.

10. Get excited about …

UEFA Champions League. It’s back this week and matchday five will go a long way toward finalizing the 16 knockout phase places. It’ll be nervous times for some big teams, with AC Milan, Barcelona and Real Madrid all needing points and Bayern Munich and Liverpool seeking a miracle.

11. Why it’s good to be a soccer player

Check out Giorgia Palmas, partner of Bologna winger Davide Bombardini.

Barcelona 1-0 Real Madrid: Ibrahimovic Wins El Clasico For Barca

After a deadlock in the first half, substitute Zlatan Ibahimovic became Barcelona's newest darling when he scored the only goal of the game in the 159th edition of El Clasico to bag three points to the Catalans.

Injuries and fitness issues had deprived to threaten the world’s Clasico of the biggest duel in football after reports emerged in the morning of matchday that neither Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo would start the game.

But the legions of fans and the global media were relieved to see both players in the starting XI, although the two other big guns, Ibrahimovic and Karim Benzema only started on the bench.

Barca wasted little time charging forward as Messi and Dani Alves looked to exploit Madrid’s weak left-back spot immediately, but the Brazilian wasted two early crosses as he uncharacteristically over-hit them.

Kaka launched the visitors’ first attack after four minutes when he lofted a through ball into the box but Gonzalo Higuain just couldn’t control, leaving Victor Valdes to gather easily.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s first meaningful contribution was to carve up an opening on six minutes when he easily breezed past Carles Puyol down the left flank and dinked a low cross to Marcelo, who miscued his half volley and sent it well into the stands.

Minutes later, Messi danced past three players and slipped in Thierry Henry into the area down the left channel, but his tame shot was saved comfortably by Iker Casillas. Alves then sent yet another cross into empty space before Xavi pummeled in a 20 yard drive which sailed over the bar.

Ronaldo had a shooting opportunity of his own on 11 minutes as he stood over the ball for a freekick from nearly 30 yards out while deafening whistles rained down from the Camp Nou stands on 11 minutes when Ronaldo stood over the ball for a freekick from nearly 30 yards out, but his blistering effort crashed into Sergio Busquets in the wall, much to the delight of the Catalan faithful.

The best chance of the game came on 20 minutes. Kaka careened down the left, cut into the middle and squared the ball to Ronaldo, but his low drive was kick-saved by Valdes, leaving the Portuguese in disbelief. Barca’s normally flawless passing game collapsed a minute later when they lost the ball in their own half and Ronaldo’s deft backheel released Kaka, but Valdes dashed off his line to thump it clear.

The Blaugrana backline was sliced opened again on 25 minutes when Kaka teed-up an unmarked Marcelo, but Puyol lunged forward and blocked off the Brazilian’s shot.

Casillas was finally called to make his first big save of the game on 36 minutes when he tipped over Henry’s cheeky angled cross at the byline which was heading for the back of the net. The Madrid shot-stopper then dived low to save Iniesta’s left-foot drive as Barcelona looked to end the half the stronger, but both sides marched back into the dressing room even-stevens, although Los Blancos appeared the happier of the two sides with the way the contest was unfolding.

All the game needed was a goal to light the spark and Pep Guardiola decided to introduce the first of the two missing big guns as Zlatan Ibrahimovic replaced a quiet Henry after 50 minutes. And the Catalans immediately upped the tempo.

But it was again Madrid who looked the more likely to score. Barca failed to make the most of a corner and Sergio Ramos led the counterattack as he played in Higuain, who checked past one defender inside the box but Puyol again came to the rescue with a brilliant tackle just as the Argentine was about to pull the trigger.

The capital giants would pay for their profligacy as Barcelona surged in front on 55 minutes. Dani Alves drilled in an inch-perfect cross to Ibrahimovic, who stayed onside before he rifled in a masterful cushioned volley past Casillas at the back post.

But the Blaugrana were stunned on the hour mark when Busquets’ clumsy handball earned him a second yellow card and Guardiola suddenly found himself a man short. Ronaldo had another chance on 65 minutes but he thumped Marcelo’s cross over. That was his last contribution as Manuel Pellegrini made his first change, sending in Karim Benzema for ‘CR9.’

Gerard Pique almost killed off the contest in the 70th minute but hammered his header from a freekick agonizingly wide. Straight to the other end, Kaka danced his way past Alves at the byline and cut it back to Benzema, but Puyol, for the umpteenth time, made a pivotal interception to block the French striker’s close-range attempt.

Eric Abidal was next to queue up to become the hero for Barcelona when he latched onto Xavi’s through ball but pulled his shot marginally wide of Casillas’ left post. Over at the other side, Benzema almost became Madrid’s savior when Xabi Alonso’s corner bobbled into this path, but the former Lyon man ballooned his shot from five yards out.

With two minutes left on the clock, Messi thought he had the icing on the cake. He ran onto Dani Alves’ squared ball but he was denied brilliantly by Casillas in a one-on-one. But it would be game over a minute later when Madrid’s midfield talisman, Lassana Diarra was dismissed.

It wasn't the goal rush fans around the world were expecting, as Barcelona did just enough to fight off a valiant Madrid in a fascinating encounter nonetheless.

History of association football

The modern rules of football are based on the mid-19th century efforts to standardise the widely varying forms of football played at the public schools of England.

The Cambridge Rules, first drawn up at Cambridge University in 1848, were particularly influential in the development of subsequent codes, including association football. The Cambridge Rules were written at Trinity College, Cambridge, at a meeting attended by representatives from Eton, Harrow, Rugby, Winchester and Shrewsbury schools. They were not universally adopted. During the 1850s, many clubs unconnected to schools or universities were formed throughout the English-speaking world, to play various forms of football. Some came up with their own distinct codes of rules, most notably the Sheffield Football Club, formed by former public school pupils in 1857,[11] which led to formation of a Sheffield FA in 1867. In 1862, John Charles Thring of Uppingham School also devised an influential set of rules.

These ongoing efforts contributed to the formation of The Football Association (The FA) in 1863, which first met on the morning of 26 October 1863 at the Freemasons' Tavern in Great Queen Street, London. The only school to be represented on this occasion was Charterhouse. The Freemason's Tavern was the setting for five more meetings between October and December, which eventually produced the first comprehensive set of rules. At the final meeting, the first FA treasurer, the representative from Blackheath, withdrew his club from the FA over the removal of two draft rules at the previous meeting, the first which allowed for the running with the ball in hand and the second, obstructing such a run by hacking (kicking an opponent in the shins), tripping and holding. Other English rugby football clubs followed this lead and did not join the FA, or subsequently left the FA and instead in 1871 formed the Rugby Football Union. The eleven remaining clubs, under the charge of Ebenezer Cobb Morley, went on to ratify the original thirteen laws of the game. These rules included handling of the ball by "marks" and the lack of a crossbar, rules which made it remarkably similar to Victorian rules football being developed at that time in Australia. The Sheffield FA played by its own rules until the 1870s with the FA absorbing some of its rules until there was little difference between the games.

The laws of the game are currently determined by the International Football Association Board (IFAB). The Board was formed in 1886 after a meeting in Manchester of The Football Association, the Scottish Football Association, the Football Association of Wales, and the Irish Football Association. The world's oldest football competition is the FA Cup, which was founded by C. W. Alcock and has been contested by English teams since 1872. The first official international football match took place in 1872 between Scotland and England in Glasgow, again at the instigation of C. W. Alcock. England is home to the world's first football league, which was founded in Birmingham in 1888 by Aston Villa director William McGregor. The original format contained 12 clubs from the Midlands and the North of England. The Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the international football body, was formed in Paris in 1904 and declared that they would adhere to Laws of the Game of the Football Association. The growing popularity of the international game led to the admittance of FIFA representatives to the International Football Association Board in 1913. The board currently consists of four representatives from FIFA and one representative from each of the four British associations.

Today, football is played at a professional level all over the world. Millions of people regularly go to football stadiums to follow their favourite teams, while billions more watch the game on television. A very large number of people also play football at an amateur level. According to a survey conducted by FIFA published in 2001, over 240 million people from more than 200 countries regularly play football. Its simple rules and minimal equipment requirements have no doubt aided its spread and growth in popularity.

In many parts of the world football evokes great passions and plays an important role in the life of individual fans, local communities, and even nations; it is therefore often claimed to be the most popular sport in the world. ESPN has spread the claim that the Côte d'Ivoire national football team helped secure a truce to the nation's civil war in 2005. By contrast, football is widely considered to be the final proximate cause in the Football War in June 1969 between El Salvador and Honduras. The sport also exacerbated tensions at the beginning of the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s, when a match between Dinamo Zagreb and Red Star Belgrade devolved into rioting in March 1990.
