"JuniorMania": The most beautiful sport ever!

Thursday, February 2, 2012

It’s Thursday and for FIFA Match Predictors that means two things: Getting your predictions in before the midnight deadline and, of course, our weekly interview with one of our recent round winners!

“Hi friends of the FIFA Club, I am from Barranquilla, Colombia, where the carnival and Shakira come from!” Says JuniorMania, Round 19 winner of FIFA Match Predictor. FIFA.com spoke to the patriotic Colombian.

FIFA.com: So JuniorMania, what team do you support?
JuniorMania: I am a Junior fan. In Europe I follow Liverpool and Barcelona.

What match are you most excited for in 2012?
I'd like to see the team of my homeland in the final of Copa Libertadores. After that, I think that the most entertaining match would be the final of the Champions League.

If you had to choose an overall winner for FIFA Match Predictor, other than yourself, who would you pick?
I'd choose another Colombian, for obvious reasons. Otherwise, I'd like to see a winner from South America at least.

How much time do you spend on predicting?
I take the necessary time; enough to check all the games and the stats. The stats are really helpful.

You’ve been a Club member for more than two years now. How would you describe the club to new members?
It's a great family where you can interact with friends from all over the world and share your passion for the most beautiful sport ever, football!

It's not too late to get involved! Every week one luck winner receives a customized national team jersey of their choice!

Saturday, January 14, 2012

List of association football clubs
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Each of the CAF member countries have their own football league systems. The clubs playing in each top-level league compete for the title as the country's club champions, and also for places in next season's CAF club competitions, i.e., the CAF Champions League and the CAF Confederation Cup. Due to promotion and relegation, the clubs playing in the top-level league in many countries are different every season.

Asia (AFC)

Schalke 04 striker Raul Gonzalez hopes his former club

Thursday, January 12, 2012

Schalke 04 striker Raul Gonzalez hopes his former club, Real Madrid, could treble this season by winning the Champions League, Spanish La Liga and Copa del Rey.

Spanish striker's contract geeks at Veltins Arena completed by the end of this season. So far the commitment extension agreement is not reached, but Raul hopes negotiations can be fruitful and positive results.

"I am optimistic that we will reach an agreement," said the player who long defended the Real Madrid told Bild. "For now there is absolutely no reason not to continue negotiations, and I hope to continue playing for Schalke." "I would be very happy if an agreement can be established,".

Raul Gonzalez expressed a desire to continue a career with Schalke 04 though buffeted by rumors will continue to leave the German Bundesliga club.

The former Spain international left Madrid last summer after 15 hugely successful years at the club for a new adventure in Germany.

However, the Madrid giants, who have now won the Copa del Rey 18 times, remain close to Raul's heart.

"It was an intense and emotional game,” the 33-year-old told Spanish daily AS. “What makes the victory even better is that it was against a great team like Barcelona. I'm happy for all the fans I saw at the game and the supporters at Cibeles who celebrated the title.

"To the board, employees, team and supporters, I extend my congratulations because there was nothing easy about the victory at the Mestalla."

Raul will be hoping for domestic cup success of his own when Schalke come up against Duisburg in the DFB Pokal final at the Olympiastadion in Berlin on May 21.

The history of football in Indonesia

Sunday, January 8, 2012

The history of football in Indonesia begins with the founding of Goods All Indonesia Football Association (PSSI) in Yogyakarta on 19 April 1930 with the leadership Soeratin Sosrosoegondo. In the PSSI congress in Solo, the organization changed its name to the All Indonesia Football Association. Since then, football activities are increasingly being driven by the PSSI and the more people playing in the street or square where I Union Competition was held. As a form of support for the resurrection of "Football Nationalism", Pakubuwono X founded the football stadium Sriwedari which makes Indonesia become more frequent.

After Soeratin Sosrosoegondo, achievement Indonesia national football team is not very satisfactory because of coaching the national team is not balanced with organizational development and competition. In the era before the 1970s, Indonesia had a few players to compete in international competitions, among them Ramang, Sucipto Suntoro, Ronny Pattinasarani, and Tan Liong Houw. During its development, PSSI has expanded its domestic football competitions, including the implementation of Indonesia Super League, First Division, Division One and Division Two for non-amateur players, as well as the third division for amateur players. In addition, the PSSI also actively develop women's soccer competition and competition in specific age groups (U-15, U-17, U-19, and U-23).
