Why Soccer (Football) Is the Most Popular Sport in the World
by
Lucy Kinja
Football is one of the most popular sport in the world. There are various reasons. They range from different level of entry like juniors to professional players.In essence it means there is no age boundary as its played in teams,meaning tender age groups can easily be grouped together. This same reason of Team spirit help players develope sense of responsibility making it a very desirable tool for people from all walks of life. The other major factor is elimination of class,players are levelled together and normally identified by either their number or uniform.The Final unifying factor is the spirit of competition. This removes the barriers of class,race,religion, nationality or even continental variant. It is therefore not a wonder that the world cup competition creates such buzz of anticipation. Can we then blame Regions like England when they get into such frenzy of World Cup Winning Fever? They have good reason to feel they have gone an extra mile in preparation, and genuinely belief they deserve to win the 2010 cup in South Africa. This of course is backed by some little home truths of the British People,especially the English history.

We are very lucky in the UK in that we have lots of radio stations to listen to. The advent of Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) has meant that a lot more can be catered for. In an average week probably around 55% of all listening time will be to BBC stations.

Is Racism Still Rife in Football?
by
Paul Gore
Not too long ago black footballers in the United Kingdom were frequently faced with monkey chants from the terraces and racial abuse from their opponents. Now the problem seems to have been mostly eradicated from the British game and it is not unusual to have a back player in the football league (approximately 25% of professional players are of black origin). The problem might have crept out of the British game but a series of incidents over the past decade throughout Europe suggests the problem is still rife in mainland Europe.

Supporting Football Teams in the 1970's
by
Steve Goodwin
Being a football supporter in the 1970's was a totally different entity than supporting your favourite football team today. The experience of the match day was totally different, most football grounds had large terraced areas, in addition to the seated stands, with the majority of the games spectators were able to pay the entrance fee at the turnstiles on the day off the match, as opposed to the all ticket affairs and sell out matches of all seated stadiums of the English premiership today.

by
Trevor Richardson
The Football Boot Awards had their inaugural year in 2007 and quickly established themselves as the premier ceremony in the football boot industry. Initially comprising of 5 categories including 'Most Comfortable' and 'Football Brand of the Year' the Footy Boots awards were unlike anything that had preceded them. Whilst many doubted that such a niche topic warranted a genuine set of awards, the Footy-Boots.

Sports Writers Need to Be Very Passionate About Their Jobs
by
Charles Nocis
Sports writer jobs are a type of reporting that informs on sporting events and topics. While the sporting department in a few newspapers have been scornfully named the toy department, as sports correspondents do not worry themselves with 'serious' topics done by news desks, sports reporting has also developed in significance as sport has developed in influence, wealth and power. Sports writer jobs are a crucial part of a news media association. Sports writing consist of associations devoted purely to sports reporting - newspapers like, La Gazette Dello Sport in Italy, L'Equipe in France, Sporting Life in Britain, and the Marca in Spain. American periodicals such as Sporting News Sports, and the Illustrated, TV networks like as The Sports Network (TSN), Euro sport and ESPN; and all-sports talk radio stations.

Replica Football Shirts - A Potted History
by
Simon J Lewis
The replica football shirt business is big business in the UK. It was valued at around £210m in 1999 - the most recent figure that I could find. Walk down any street on any day and you will see a plethora of these shiny, synthetic monstrosities, but the truth is that before 1975 there was no market in replica football shirts.
