Uniform – a Must Have for Soccer Players
Posted on January 24th, 2010 No commentsBeyond the borders of the USA soccer is the most popular team sport, and by a wide margin. However, this does not mean that soccer is not very popular in the USA as well. Each year, millions of Americans play organized soccer teams across the country, and each team identifies itself while symbolizing the unity of their team by wearing a soccer uniform. If you are interesting to join a soccer team, or if you are an adult who is organizing a team, choosing a soccer uniform is an excellent starting point. However, you should know there is more to a soccer uniform than simply choosing a jersey.
There are several elements in the selection of a soccer uniform. Selecting a shirt and jersey color, is one of them. Of course, choosing a color is a subjective exercise, personal tastes and certainly online account. Other factors could be the team name, or colors that represent the city or school with which your team is affiliated. Jerseys soccer not only come in various colors, but in different materials and fabrics as well.
All these factors come into play when deciding what is best for your team. And remember, it is often customary for teams to wear different primary colors during the road during games than home games. If your house colors are red with white trim, then you will probably need the road jerseys are white with red trim, for example.
Selected shorts soccer is also an important selection uniform. In addition to choose colors that complement your team ’s jersey, be sure to find a style of shorts is not too baggy. Baggy shorts – although in style – tend to get easily and boots can encumber the movement of players.
Remember that your goalie wears a uniform different from soccer as the rest of your team. Because the goalkeeper is a player to move his hands on the ball, the goalkeeper is usually necessary to wear a different color scheme so that referees can easily distinguish it from the rest of the team. Also, uniforms goalie both padded shorts and shirts that will help absorb some of the plans that will surely come his way. In addition, goalkeeper are generally long-sleeved shirts, unlike the rest of the team that will wear short sleeves.
Finally, remember that you should select soccer socks that will complement your team colors. Soccer socks socks are unlike traditional insofar as they are designed to offer knee and to be flexible enough to accommodate the shin guards of plastic that are worn below.
If you do not know who to turn to this point, the Internet is your ally. There are hundreds of providers in line and you can choose the uniforms of soccer that most appeals to you. Also, you can seek advice from other coaches and organizers in your league soccer and they can share with you the suppliers with whom they have been successful in the past. With a little research and intuition, you can find a soccer uniform that will make your children happy to be part of the team.

The 10 Greatest Ever Soccer Players in Mls History
Posted on January 21st, 2010 No commentsWalter Zenga (New England Revolution)
The man they nicknamed Uomo Ragno (Spider-Man), was an ever present in the Inter Milan goal through the 1980’s, making no less than 328 appearances and appearing for his country 58 times.
Even more impressively, in Italia 90 set a record of keeping 5 consecutive clean sheets, totalling 518 minutes without conceding a goal, a record that still stands today.
He is now the manager of Serie A side Catania.
Richard Gough (Kansas City Wizards/San Jose Clash)
A no-nonsense centre half and one of Glasgow Rangers most successful ever players, winning 9 titles as part of the infamous ‘9 in a row’ team. Gough also amassed 61 appearances for the Scottish national side. His spell at Rangers was interrupted by a brief stint with Tottenham Hotspur, only to return to Rangers, becoming the first ever Scottish player to be sold for over £1,000,000.
He spent 2 years in the MLS with Kansas City Wizards and San Jose Cash, being named in the MLS XI of the Year whilst with the Wizards.
Lothar Matthaus (Metrostars)
Perhaps not just one of the greatest players in the history of the MLS, but in the history of soccer. Winning World Soccer Player of the Year, European Footballer of the year and Fifa World Player of the Year, Matthaus could play in defence or midfield, with a rocket right foot that earned him the status of Germany’s most capped player.
His managerial career, however, has not been as successful as his playing days, with short spells in Brazil, Austria and Serbia, and as of now in Israel as the manager of Maccabi Netanya.
Roberto Donadoni (Metrostars)
A vital key in AC Milan’s success through the 80s and 90s, when very few could argue against them being the best club side in the world (other than Barcelona’s dream team). Notorious for effortlessly running past players on the right flank, Donadoni collected 5 Serie A titles, 3 European Cups, 3 European Super Cups and 2 Intercontinental cups before moving on to the Metrostars, where he was named in the Best XI in the 1996 Season.
Now boss of the Italian national side, Italy are left with a mountain to climb in order to progress to the quarter finals after disastrous results against Holland and Romania.
Maurice ‘Mo’ Johnston (Kansas City Wizards)
Mo Johnston was a Scottish centre forward starting his career with Partick Thistle, and then spending a couple of seasons at Watford before his move to Celtic that would later earn him hatred across Glasgow.
Leaving Celtic for Nantes, vowing to never return to Scotland, Johnston reconsidered and done a U-Turn, claiming to sign for Celtic again at the end of the season. As the summer approached, Johnston changed his mind once more, this time signing for arch rivals Rangers. This infuriated Rangers fans as Johnston is an ex Celtic player and supporter, but worse still, he was Roman Catholic. Celtic fans turned on him, opting for the nickname of Judas, replacing his former moniker of MoJo, Rangers fans disliked him from the start.
Nevertheless, he scored 46 goals in 100 games, before moving back to England with Everton. This unsuccessful spell was followed by brief stints with Falkirk and Hearts, before joining the Kansas City Wizards, spending 5 seasons there.
Hw was more recently head coach of Metrostars, before being given his marching orders, taking over the helm of Toronto FC.
Mo Johnston’s last minute winner for Rangers vs Celtic, 1989
Denilson (FC Dallas)
At 21, Denilson became the most expensive player in the world when Spanish outfit Real Betis paid approximately $32,000,000 to Sao Paulo for his services. Renowned for his dazzling stepovers and skinning opponents on the left flank, he was regarded as one of the most promising players the game had seen.
Sadly, the promise he showed never really developed, mostly down to his selfish play by holding on the ball for too long, or as the UK would say, ‘ball-hogging’.
He only played 7 games for Dallas before returning to his native Brazil.
Carlos Valderrama (Tampa Bay Mutiny, Miami Fusion, Colorado Rapids)
Considered the greatest Colombian player of all time, his creativity and flare was only surpassed by his hair – a curly orange electrified afro. Elegant and intelligent with the ball at his feet, El Pibe (The Kid) never actually ran anywhere on the pitch, but with his level of skill, why bother? His status of legend was confirmed in 2006, when a 22 foot bronze statue of him was erected in his home town of Santa Marta. Brilliant.
Spending 6 years in the US, Valderrama still holds the record for the most assists.
Youri Djorkaeff (Metrostars)
Aptly nicknamed ‘Snake’, Djorkaeff was a cultivated attacking midfielder and formed a crucial partnership with Zinedine Zidane, resulting in France winning the 98 World Cup and Euro 2000.
Banging the goals in for Monaco, he spent one season at Paris St Germain before signing for Italian giants Inter Milan and Kaiserslautern, when somehow Bolton Wanderers persuaded him to sign.
He became Metrostars ‘MVP’ during his brief spell in the US, before an ankle injury forced him to retire.
Hristo Stoichkov (Chicago Fire, DC United)
Unpredictable and quite possibly insane, this tricky Bulgarian had everything: pace, mesmerizing dribbling and a devastating shot. Barcelona snapped him up from CSKA Sofia, where his temperament, passion and goal scoring record immortalized him as a Barcelona great.
He was also instrumental in Bulgaria’s unexpected run in the 94 World Cup, during which time they made it to the semi final, losing to Italy. Stoichkov also earned the Golden Boot, finishing joint-top with Russia’s Oleg Solenko.
David Beckham (LA Galaxy)
The man who needs no introduction, ‘Goldenballs’ is the most famous soccer player on the planet, who’s brand is more renowned than his free kicks and defence-splitting passes.
A style icon for every male in Britain whilst playing for Manchester Utd, Beckham’s commitments to his life away from soccer meant that his relationship with Sir Alex Ferguson was likely to deteriorate, as it did to the extent that Ferguson managed to kick a soccer boot at Beckham’s eye, requiring stitches.
Fast forward a couple of years, Beckham joins ‘Los Galacticos’, winning the Supercup in his first season. He had to wait until 2007 for a major honour though, when Real won the Primera league.
Whilst at Galaxy, his career has seen a couple of milestones, a 100th cap for the England national team, and a stunning 70 yard goal against Kansas City Wizards, almost mirroring his efforts for Man Utd against Wimbledon in 1996.
