Mallorca and Manzano Finally Getting Some Attention

By: Jeremy

Yet another week and yet another home win for Mallorca as they disposed of Racing Santander 1-0 at the Ono Estadi on Sunday. Nothing Fancy. Just hard work and team play leading to a well earned victory on Webos first half goal. Other chances certainly were created and the score could have been less threatening, but a well deserved win. With Deportivos stumble we now move into 5th place with 17 points sniffing the heals of Sevilla and Valencia, two of Spains more established teams and big names to casual observers of La Liga.

Prior to this win, the team was getting some attention as there is a nice article that sums up the recent fortunes of the club. While it does not mention all the key losses and turnover of players, it is a good look from an outsider. Please have a look at the following article…

The bottom line is this team is doing what most small clubs hope to do which is find players under the radar and have them mesh as a team while under the guidance of a top notch manager.

We have that and the only bad thing about a good start and solid finish is that if we finish again just outside of the European spots, because of the early strong start, Manzano will get some offers for big clubs that he might take. Lets hope he sticks around for now but we can worry about that later. If we can finish in a European spot, he might stay.

All fans should be proud of not only the extended run in La Liga for 13 years, but the strong teams and players that have come through and moved on to bigger clubs. The list is quite impressive and no other small club with our budget has seen the players wear their shirt like we have the past few years.

Who are this years surprises? How about Felipe Mattioni, the young defender from Brazil. Check him out and he showed in the Racing match that he is one for the future. Lets see if we can find a way to keep him past this year.

With the history of strong finishes, this team is not out of the question for a European spot. Lets keep enjoying the run and continue to be proud of whatever it is that ties us to the club and causes us to root for them week in and week out.

Mourinho talking again, but for how long?

by Gareth Freeman

Inter Milan manager Jose Mourinho has always had a bit of a reputation as an outspoken type of fellow but that looked like it had all changed when he imposed a ‘media blackout’ last weekend.

The former Porto and Chelsea boss decided to snub the press after he was sent to the stands during Inter’s win over Cagliari last weekend.

However, due to the club’s contractual obligations with the media Inter have told Mourinho he has to speak to the press so the Portuguese tactician has no other option – and he isn’t happy about it.

Speaking to Sky Italia Mourinho said: “I’m not continuing the silence because the club asked me because of contracts with you,

“If it were up to me the silence would continue.”

The Nerazzurri slipped to a disappointing defeat at the hands of Sampdoria at the weekend and Mourinho was in no mood to discuss his tactics with the the press. When asked why he decided to substitute Mario Balotelli he replied: “I’m the coach, and don’t have to explain my decisions to you.”

It is not the first, or probably last, time the special one will fall out with the Italian press. At the start of the season he told reporters ‘if something happens to me it is your fault’ when Islamic extremists issued death threats against him for his reported decision not to play Sulley Muntari who was fasting during Ramadan.

His decision not to talk to the press was a disappointing one, after all his quotes are at times priceless. On the state of the Stamford Bridge pitch in his time at Chelsea he once said:

“Sometimes you see beautiful people with no brains. Sometimes you have ugly people who are intelligent, like scientists.”

What does that even mean? I’ve got no idea but it is brilliant anyway and one of the reasons why, love him or hate him, no one can deny Mourinho is not entertaining.

It would seem for now that Mourinho has no choice but to speak to the media if Inter have forced him. The question is will he opt to move on because of it? The press in Italy are known for grilling the manager on tactics and team selections and it seems this is what Mourinho has a problem with, if he can’t learn to deal with it he may chose to leave.

The Soccer Shirt and its History

By: Soophott Lert

When you watch the game of soccer, your main focus is on your favorite team winning the game. It is not very often that you pay attention the clothes that each team is wearing or even think about how the uniforms became about. If you were to do some research on the soccer shirt, you may be surprised at some of the facts and information that you may find.

For example, you will find that in the beginning of the game, teams did not have a specific uniform that they needed to wear. They had colored caps and scarves so that team members could be identified from each other and from the crowd. As time went on, there was a great demand to find a way to correct this problem so that teams would stand out and the games could be better organized. This is when the soccer shirt first came into play. They started out as white shirts with long sleeves and eventually became colored shirts that were solid and then of course designs started showing up.

All teams needed to have their own color and could copy anyone else's. They also needed to register their specific colors with the club so that it could not be recognized by another team. Of course, fans started to purchase their teams colors so they could show their support for a favorite player or just for the team in general. It brought new life to the fans of the game and helped the economy as well.

Coming into the mid 20th century, numbers started showing up on the backs of the soccer shirt and of course became statue for all teams. The number 1 was designated for the goalie and then each teammate received a number up to 11. Over time this changed but players still always received a number on the back.

The style of shirt also changed over time to make it more comfortable for the players. They became lightweight and the material changed as well so that did not soak in all of the sweat of a player. This was to keep them cool during the time of play.

Further into the 20th century, businesses started to place their company logos onto the shirts to advertise their companies. This meant that they would get publicity and because they paid the teams to do this, they were making money towards the equipment that they needed. The soccer shirt has been through many different changes since the beginning of the game. It started out as something plain and white and grew into a source of advertisement and identification.

With all of the changes that have been made over the years, you can believe that more changes are to come in the pending future. They will be made to fit the players better, keep them cooler during play time and the design will probably become completely different as well. So watch the soccer shirt since changes are going to happen.
