August body, indeed......


Mike, I have refereed womens teams from U6 to the National Champs (in local 
play....) to teams in International play (U19 women). I have also seen several
teams from the pacific northwest... My observations are not that the teams 
can't play any more or less physically, but that they don't care to. Perhaps 
that is due to the refereeing.

It is my opinion that womens games are just like mens games in terms of 
fouling (perhaps more so for body fouls with women), aggression, style of play
etc, EXCEPT that they happen at a little slower pace. (Most referees I know 
don't feel as physically challenged by a womens game - college included) 
Perhaps the women (no slur intended) are not as fast as the men ?

There are some things that definitely bear keeping in mind when refereeing 
women - for one, there is (it seems to me) a lot more hip checking. Also, 
women tend (at lower levels of play) to run with their arms up - not a normal 
playing style... Women also (it seems) tend to fuss at each other more - I 
have heard several VERY creative anatomical descriptions from the women. Most 
interesting is the frankness with which women will describe body parts to or 
at each other and the referees and linesman.

Womens games demand as much attention as any mens game - however, because of 
the slower pace, some referees drift and that also can cause problems. 
Unfortunately, some referees (male) tend to be lenient with women players (you
know, the gentler sex and all that...) That attitude can cost the referee his 
game control.

Just my 2.5 cents. Keep or discard. Contact for more if I was unclear....

As a fan-atic of football since birth, I have been impressed by many
different football players.  Almost none from my "homeland" (place of
birth-Sweden).  From Pele, to Cruyff (sp?), to Beckenbauer, and even
the play of Diego (but not his lifestyle) I enjoy good football no 
matter the team or country (well, maybe I have to root against the
Norwegians always :-)).  Hear, hear and well said Francis.

	I know this is really just for the competitors but I haven't as
yet compiled a group alias.
	My suggestion for a prize is this. Everybody nominates a piece
of soccer memorabilia they possess and promise to send it to the
eventual winner at their own expense. Magazines, books, badges, banners,
scarves, shirts and maybe even videos of matches (but beware the PAL vs NTSC
problem - hey who am I kidding how likely is a US or Japan winner :-) - note
the smiley - so PAL it is). I realise that competitors are on their honour
here but those involved please offer your opinions/suggestions.

In fact, the whole Maidstone/Dartford "debacle" has been a real shame,
and one that may have a future negative impact on clubs being promoted
out of the GMVC. I suspect that the Football League will want to be
rather more fussy about the finances and plans of future promoted
teams than they apparently were with Maidstone. Admittedly, one of the
major reasons Maidstone ran into trouble was the fact that the local
government in Maidstone never gave planning permission for the
construction of a new stadium at any of the sites that United
suggested. Thus they seemed to be stuck in almost permanent isolation
in Dartford:- not a great way to start one's Football League career.
However, they were by far the poorest supported team to have been
promoted out if the GMVC:- the year they won that league, their
average attendance was under 1100. 

The saga beacame more and more bizarre with Jim Thompson's (sp?) takeover of
Dartford and the sale of Maidstone to someone who wanted them to play
their home games in Gateshead. The Football League rightly said no
to that nonsense and Maidstone bit the dust as far as the League was
concerned.

What is considered dangerous is the slamming of the brain-tissue
against the back of the skull at the moment of impact; something to do
with the Law of Preservation of Momentum.
Special caution has to be taken when redirecting the ball, e.g.
heading the ball towards the goal from a cross-pass. This, because now
the brain-tissue also makes a spinning motion inside the skull.

i don't know whether head-gear will help absorb those shocks.

Other dangers are caused by incorrect technique. Whiplashing because
you don't have enough tension/strenght in your neck-muscles. Also what
happens quite a lot is heading with an open mouth, thus slamming your 
teeth together a the moment of impact.

Regarding headgear, a lot of research and experience has been
gathered in (amateur-) boxing.
However, in football the ball can be a lot more unpredictable than
a opponent in front of you in boxing. Also the twisting motion with
the head is not that usual in boxing.

All this is from memory, scientific references very much appriciated.

    26th of August, International Friendly
    at Ulevaal Stadium, Oslo

         NORWAY              2         SWEDEN              2

         Att.: 8420

    Since I don't have the Norwegian line-up, I don't post the Swedish,
either, I let Lars do that. Norway had the best play early and got the lead
when Leonhardsen scored from the post. Sweden moved forward later and 
Limpar hit a fine pass to Dahlin who turned around and struck into the net
defended by Frode Grodaas (Torstvedt was in Leeds and let in five goals, three
by Canto). The second half was owned by the Swedes and a cross from the side
by Roland Nilsson was almost met by Dahlin, but instead it went to Stefan
Pettersson who scored from close range. On a funny note, one of the radio
commentators called Lydersen for Lauridsen, is he reading r.s.s? :-)
At the end, Roger Nielsen struck a freekick along the ground into the net
and that was a lucky equalizer for Norway. Not much more I dare to say.

That's what always puzzles me, every weekend I watch highlights from the
English league and I'm fascinated by the great football that is played
by the English clubs. As a matter of fact I much prefer the English league
over the Italian league games (broadcasted every Sunday by RAI). Why does
the English national team play such boring football? Secondly I think
it would be better if the best combinations (defense, midfield, strikers)
were chosen from the clubs instead of individual players.
