It was announced this month that French World Cup winner Patrick Viera had been released by Manchester City after 18 months at the age of 35. With Robert Pires also being released by Aston Villa and Spain’s World Cup winner Cesc Fabregas almost certainly set to leave Arsenal for Barcelona this summer it led me to do some research on World Cup winning players who have played in the English Premier League.

When you approach the stadium on match days there is a real buzz in the air with fans of all ages making their way to the all-seater stadium, the famous Nou Camp, which can hold up to 98,000 spectators. Football is family entertainment in Spain and the fans may consist of die hard supporters in the 20s, middle-aged couples, grandparents with their grandchildren, kids birthday parties – you can see it all.

As we welcome the addition of AFC Wimbledon to the Football League for the season 2011-2012, we look at what has happened in the careers of some of the players who were in the squad for their last ever game against Derby in May 2004. Stuart Murdoch (Manager) – Murdoch stayed with the club until he was sacked in November 2004 after a string of poor results. He has since concentrated his efforts on his goalkeeping coaching and had spells at Bournemouth, Norwich & Southampton before joining the staff at Gillingham in November 2010.

After being deemed surplus to requirements at Atletico Madrid, Uruguayan striker Diego Forlan is expected to try his luck in the Premier League once more after a previous unsuccessful spell with Manchester United between 2002 and 2004. It is fact that some continental players cannot cope with the physical demands of the English Premier League and also struggle to adjust to the weather, lifestyle and culture.

“Without sounding too arrogant I think that in my experience and expertise as a manager, particularly in the Premier league over the last ten years is trying to bring the club together to get a team spirit and to get a togetherness that’s going to achieve the ultimate, which is to get promotion back into the Premier League at the first time of asking” This is the first thing I heard Sam Allardyce say in the “snippet” of his press conference I was shown. This to me is a man we should all stand behind.

Soccer cleats have evolved into one of the most popular athletic footwear on the market today. Cleats are generally shoes with low tops. They are designed to be light and tight-fitting to the foot.

As modern football becomes dominated by excessive wages, television deals and players playing away off the field, supporters can be forgiven for yearning for the golden days where they felt connected to the game. All football supporters have a place in their heart for the one club man who was more interested in playing for his local team than rejecting his roots for the bright lights, and big pay packets, of a move to the latest club to be taken over by an Arab billionaire.

Soccer is a sport that has been growing in popularity around the world for hundreds of years. It is the favorite sport in most European countries, and is continuing to gain popularity in America. People young and old around the globe enjoy the game of soccer.

The football draw game – elusive, aren’t they? Eight of these in one line are key to winning the UK treble chance football pool, but maybe you just want to find two or three for a specialised fixed odds bet, or a range of trebles, maybe in an Australian, German, Spanish or Italian league. Typically, on a league weekend in the UK football season and 49 matches on the coupon, there will be on average, 9 scoring football draws, and of these, many will have been predictable using a good forecasting system. No-score football draws average out at about 4-5 per week. How do we find them?

Whilst watching the summer activity going on in the transfer market yesterday I saw that Leeds United are potentially going to re-sign former players Jonathan Woodgate, Lee Bowyer and Alan Smith. This in my opinion would be a great coup as all 3 players still have a lot to offer at the highest level providing they stay injury free. The news got me thinking about other players that dropped down into the lower leagues whilst in the twilight years of their playing careers

Years ago players used to have a pint and a fag at half time, in the 1950′s and 60′s it was common for them to do so, and certain clubs even gave the players free cigarettes. Things have changed a lot since them days and nowadays its all about the fitness of a player. Being fit means working out, doing exercise and maintaining a healthy diet.
