As soccer is one of the most well loved sports on Earth, many children and adults are lured into participating in playing on a daily basis. Due to this wide spread popularity, soccer injuries are very common.

With over 80,000 adults and children going to emergency rooms every year as a result of soccer, knowing the safety rules is vital. When playing and watching, there are certain things that you should always be aware of so that you and your teammates or family members are not among those hurt through either playing or watching. There are several categories of safety rules that you should be aware of. These consist of the following:

• On Field Safety
• Goal Safety
• Stadium Safety
• Equipment
• Weather Safety
• Miscellaneous Accessories

On Field Safety

Of all of the categories, on field safety is the one that players are constantly aware of. This is where most children and adults are injured. Whether it is a sprained ankle from tripping over the ball, collisions, and other accidents, there are several things that you can do to prevent injury. Sprained ankles are one of the most common soccer injuries, as there is a great deal of foot work involved.

These injuries can be avoided by using a slight amount of caution when passing or receiving the ball, as well as taking care when running down the field. Proper foot position when handling the ball is one of the most effective ways at preventing this type of injury. Unfortunately, accidents will happen, regardless of how careful you are. By being diligent, you can make certain whatever injuries you sustain are minor and should not interfere with future game play. The key rule to preventing injuries on the field is to always be observant. Know where the ball is and know who is around you.

Goal Safety

Whether you are the goalie, or a player on defense, the goal can occasionally become a safety hazard. In most instances, collisions with goal or goalie are caused by lack of observation. Whether you trip and fall into the goal posts, or hit the goalie by accident, you need to make certain that you are always watching where you going when moving in to score. Not only can this action cause injury, it can also get you carded which could potentially have you removed from the game.

Another point to consider when shopping for 8 x 24 soccer goals, is to consider goals with rounded posts instead of square posts. When colliding with a post, you're more likely to skip off a rounded one and avoid serious injury.

Stadium Safety

For parents, guardians and friends, there are a few stadium safety tips that tend to be neglected when the subject of soccer safety comes up. Occasionally a player can lose control of the soccer ball, and it enter the stands where you are observing the game. Injuries due to being hit with the ball, or any other piece of equipment that flies your way, can be easily prevented by making certain you pay attention at all times.

Running through the stands, or through the player's area can be dangerous to you and others. As a rule, common sense is the best safety precaution you have. If it involves doing something that could harm yourself or others, such as walking over the back of the bleachers, climbing over people and tall benches, it should be avoided for your sake and others.

Equipment

Without soccer safety equipment, all of the in game rules would be ineffective. Shin guards, cleats, jerseys and proper fitting shorts and socks all work together to ensure that every player can enjoy the game without being at high risk of injury. Shin guards are used to prevent bruising or breaking of the lower portion of the leg, where cleats and soccer balls are highly likely to hit you. Without these, such as lotto shin guards, you put yourself at high risk.

Wearing a proper pair of cleats, such as the ones designed by Nike, gives you more grip into the turf. This grip helps to prevent sprains and breaks in the ankles. These shoes also give your feet adequate protection from other pairs of cleats and impact with the soccer ball.

Proper fitting clothing, ranging from the jersey, shorts and socks, contribute to player comfort. This is important, as distractions from the game can lead to injuries to yourself and others. It is always advisable to wear your proper jerseys to practice or to games. Specially designed jerseys and shorts are designed to handle the rigors of soccer. The fabric in particular is designed to stand up against grass stains as well as be comfortable.

Weather

One aspect of soccer safety that is forgotten by many players and parents is weather conditions. Playing in the rain can be a fun, invigorating experience, treasured by players for years to come. Despite this, playing in muddy conditions is dangerous. The slipping and sliding that creates a great deal of the enjoyment taken from playing soccer in the rain leaves room for a wide variety of different injuries. If you choose to play soccer in the rain, make certain you take every precaution possible, from wearing cleats, guards and your protective gear.

When a full fledged storm comes up, complete with thunder and lightning, game play should be ended immediately. A soccer field is the worst place to be in the middle of a lightning storm, and parents as well as players have been killed or maimed by lightning. If lightning is spotted and your referee does not end the game, you should still leave the field as soon as possible.

Miscellaneous Accessories

Before you play soccer, you need to make certain that you are not wearing miscellaneous accessories such as earrings, anklets and other pieces of jewelry that could be broken or cause harm. Earrings in particular are prone to being torn from earlobes when contact is made with a soccer ball. By removing these pieces of jewelry and other items of this nature, you can help prevent injuries to yourself that could be disfiguring. If you are considering getting piercings and you play soccer, you may want to consider planning to have your piercings done when the soccer season is over.

If you keep all of these things in mind while playing or observing soccer games, you should be able to enjoy the sport while being at low risk of injury.

Tradition has a lot to do with it, and the answer that many draft fans will give for not changing is that the draft works fine. That is perfectly true, but the auction also works fine, and also better. It is fairer and also a lot more interesting, and demands more thought when buying players because it introduces the concept of spend capping. You all start with the same pot to spend, and have to balance your stud players with the rest.

Quite frankly there nothing wrong with the old serpentine draft apart from the fairness and the fact that you don't have to know much about football! If you are happy with that then there might be no need to change. However, the auction format demands a bit more knowledge about the game and the players, and an ability to look ahead at what is expected once the season starts. Kickers, for example, often don't show their merit until a few games have been played. If they start hot they generally stay hot for the season, so you could get a great deal if you wait before buying your kicker.

You could spend the bulk of your allowed cash on a great player that gets injured in the first game, and your second choice might suddenly assume a lot of importance. The auction format is definitely a lot more interesting and more fun. Some fans of the draft claim that the auction takes longer, but it actually doesn't. They take about the same time on average, and even if it did, so what? It's supposed to be fun, not boring where you want it over as quickly as possible.

To those that claim that the auction format takes more thought, if you don't want to use any thought then you should get out of fantasy football altogether. Again, it's meant to be fun and the more you have to think about it the better. If you are undecided about draft or auction in your fantasy football league, and are not sure about how the auction is carried out, here is how it goes: and this will demonstrated the fairness of the system in comparison with the good old serpentine draft.

At auction time there are two ways of doing it, one taking longer than the other, but both equally as fair in the selecting of players. Each owner starts of with the same pot of money, say $250. Each owner is allowed to nominate one player for auction, and there are then two ways of proceeding:

1. The auction is carried out like a normal auction, and everybody can make a bid or not bid whenever they choose. The owner states a minimum bid for the player concerned, say $3, and that is where the bidding must start. Bidding continues until the highest bid is reached. You can wait until that stage is reached before making your own bid to win the player concerned if you want.

2. The auction is conducted as a 'round table', each person being given a position. The first person makes the opening mandatory bid for the player as stated by the owner, and the bidding then goes to the next in line. The next person has two options: either to increase the bid or to pass. If you pass you cannot bid again on that player, and so it goes on until every but one bidder has passed.

There is something unfair about a system that does not allow every owner an equal chance of signing each player, and if you find yourself low.

The second method takes a bit longer, but is also more fun and demands more skill and player knowledge. In both you can stick to a budget for each player if you wish, and not bid above that, or you can decide that there are certain players you must have. The problem with that is if two of you have the same idea, you can overpay for certain stud players and leave yourself short for the rest of the team.

On the other hand you might get some players in your list for less than you budgeted, and are able to afford a bit more for the star players that are put up for auction later. To do this properly, and plan for it, you have to know what player each owner intends to propose. There's no point in waiting for a player that is going to be made available before others in your list.

The secret is to keep your main bids for any stud players being offered later in the auction when others have run low in money, and then you could get them for a really good price. However, you also have the rest of the team to think about, and nobody wins a fantasy football league with only two or three half decent players.

Irrespective of whether the draft is working OK for you or not, that's not the point. The point is that the vast majority that tries the auction also find it works OK, but prefers it because of its inherent fairness, knowledge of the game that it needs and the fun and thought needed to do it well. So, fantasy football - draft or auction? I know my answer, and where the smart money is for the future. See you at the auction!

New England Revolution Soccer 16oz Stainless Steel Travel Mug - Primary Team Logo MAJOR-LEAGUE-SOCCER Soccer

Show off your pride by drinking from this Officially Licensed Stainless Steel Travel Mug with hand-crafted metal team logo. Fits in your vehicle cup holder, keeps drinks hot or cold and features a no spill lid.

What you need to bring to raid:

Use flask! When you are doing progression raids, expect several wipes over and over again. Flasks will last through death with 2 hours duration.

-Shattrath Flask of Mighty Restoration or Flask of Mighty Restoration: Either flask gives you 25 mp5.

Use weapon oil! If you are using dps weapon buffs while trying to progress as a healer, you need to quit the game lol.

-Superior Mana Oil: gives you 14 mp5.

-Brilliant Mana Oil: gives you 12 mp5 and 25 healing bonus. This is an old school pre-BC oil that I prefer to use. You lose 2 mp5 for not using Superior Mana Oil, but you get +25 healing bonus. The drawback is that this recipe is hard to get because you have to grind pre-BC reps, and if you are not an alchemist, the chances of finding people to make these are very slim.

-Superior Wizard Oil: the description on this says gives you 42 to spell damage, but it really gives you 42 to healing bonus too. If you think you have too much mp5, or you simply don't run out of mana, you might want to consider this oil.

Food Buffs! Don't be cheap, and use them.

-Blackened Sporefish: gives you 20 stamina and 8 mp5. In healing intensive fights, I use these to give me an mp5 boost and also more stamina to live through the nasty AoE from bosses.

-Golden Fish Sticks: gives you 44 healing bonus and 20 spirits. You can disregard the spirits but the 44 healing bonus is very nice. If you have an abundant of mp5, I would prefer these over the sporefish. Also these tastes better :).

I know some people prefer to use battle and guardian elixirs over flasks, such as Elixir of Major Mageblood and Elixir of Healing Power. My suggestion for you is to simply use the 25 mp5 flask along with Golden Fish Sticks and Superior Wizard Oil. In 2 hour period, it is possible to wipe 10+ times, and using elixirs can be extremely expensive.

The greyhound betting systems is almost exactly the same with horse racing. You can bet on just one dog, which will give you winning the amount of which depends whether or not it is a crowd favorite or the underdog. If you betted on the underdog and that dog win, you will get much higher winning than betting on the crowd favorite.

Just like in horse racing, you can bet on multiple dogs, either by forecasting the first, second and third placer or bet on a spin. Betting in a spin means you are sure these dogs will win but you are not sure in which order. If you get this right, there is substantial cash that you will win. However, take note that when you bet in spin, it is a little expensive but the returns is more than satisfactory.

I am pretty sure for those who are familiar with horse racing betting, they will easily understand how greyhound betting system works. Greyhound betting is more advantageous on the part of the bettors since there is no third party (which is the jockey for horse racing that manipulates the horse). Hence, greyhound racing is less likely to be manipulated by one who holds the reins. This game has been around for a long time just the same with horse racing. But most gamblers would prefer greyhound racing over horse racing due to the fact that it is less likely exposed on the intervention of third person. You can learn more about greyhound betting system by checking out the various websites related to the topic.

The World at Their Feet - The Legendary Story of the U.S. Women's Soccer Team

Customer Review: Glad to find it!
You can't get this product at the retail level, so I'm thankful for Amazon. It arrived quickly and my daughter (age 11) really enjoyed watching these strong, young ladies claw their way to the top of the soccer world!
Customer Review: US Men's Soccer Team Should Be This Gutsy
First, let me state that I'm Greek-American; therefore, I am a soccer nut. Soccer is the original football and, in Europe, it's rarely called soccer - it's called football. The game is 90 minutes with a 15-20 minute halftime. Hands are not used - only the legs, feet, head, and shoulders. There are no downs, no outs, no tangle of bodies. A beef with a ref will get you a yellow card and another beef will get you a red card, meaning you will sit out the next 3 games and your team must play 1 player short. The US Men's team needs to be as gutsy as these women - they kick for goal 50-75% downfield, and their teammates go after that ball. They take 200% more risks than the men - and they're better. However, the core of this documentary, aside from it being the departure of several members at once because of injuries, age, and "it's time", is their genuine camaraderie, love of the game, and love for one another. They mentor the new players and cheer them on. They truly LIKE each other and you don't see petty rivalry. One demonstration of their feelings for one another is when Mia Hamm lost her older brother to cancer and was with her family when a major game was being played. Every one of her teammates came onto the playing field wearing a black armband as a symbol of their mourning for her loss. Babies come to soccer practice while their moms are getting back into shape and other team members take care of them. Those who retired, retired at the top. The new team, with still some of the older members, has learned the meaning of friendship from these women. They really do like one another, and that's what makes a good team. In fact, I can't even recall any players ever receiving a yellow or red card, or a foul. I love European men's soccer and watch it all the time, especially the teams I really like. Men (especially the US Men's team) take heed - you can learn a lot from the US Women's team. THIS is how soccer should be played.

Anyone who knows me will be shocked at how close I came to spending lots of money to buy Conan gold. After all I've readily made fun out of people who have done just that in other games - so how come I came so close to doing the same?

Well the simple fact is that after two weeks playing when I could - I still reckon half the rowers on that slave ship had more financial assets that I did. Once I even logged in with the single goal of bringing my alt off the poverty line - spent all evening trying to get as much gold as possible. I did use some tips I found on internet forums but they didn't seem to help - 'harvest everything' seems like a good idea but the bank balance hardly budges - 'there's riches in leather' I was told in Age of Conan - well there might be but I couldn't find it. All the well meaning tips made me some money but painfully slowly and to be honest it was very, very boring.

This is when I decided to start considering spending some of my real cash to buy Conan gold. I browsed around the gold sites - some of them looked very professional although the spelling was pretty awful on a lot of them ( I suspect english is not the main language of the majority of these sellers!). I think I first went off the idea when I saw a few that said 100% safe - now I know that buying gold in Age of Conan is not allowed - it's quite clearly stated in the conditions of the game. Now I've no idea if funcom would actually ban anyone or suspend their account but they quite clearly reserve the rights to do so - if anyone states that something is 100% safe they are clearly lying.

I actually then did some more research and found out that some of these sites rely on hacking into accounts to get their gold supplies - hah they wouldn't get far with mine ! This is actually a huge problem with World of Warcraft with thousands of accounts compromised by these companies. Anyway I didn't want anything to do with this after reading more - even if 99% of the gold firms were legitimate I would have no way of knowing if I had chosen badly even if I got my gold.

Anyway in the end I decided it was find another game to play or try one or two of these so called Conan gold guides. I bought two of them and was rather impressed - one of the guides was excellent. The best bit about the guides was the detail - very specific instructions on how to make the most gold out of a specific activity.

None of this just skin creatures for leather - but exactly where to go, what to take and where to sell it. Someone spent some serious time working all this stuff out and by jingo it works.

If you're interested in the guide that I referred to you, you can find out more at the link below. Although I have to say my horse was somewhat of a disappointment - I keep falling off the stupid thing!
