Indonesian footy Brand Building Efforts

2011-01-12T19:53:00.000+07:00

The dispute between the Indonesian tremendous League (ISL) & the Premier League Indonesia (LPI), the more fascinating. From glasses branding or brand building, this phenomenon is very fascinating.

We keep in mind how the professionals & cons of the same thing happened a few years ago when Pertamina to open up to global competition. than fear its sales slumped & defeated by competitors, the company actually do the improvements themselves. They replace the legendary logo with the help of a worldwide consultancy with a value of hundreds of millions of dollars.

that is the beginning, not including the renovation of a gas station a more modern, tidy & friendly. They also do not forget to introduce the program "must fit" that is slowly but surely managed to build consumer confidence on the image & Pertamina, the elderly paradigm.

there's many examples of "healthy competition" others who finally would make the industry create better. In his book, written in 1776, The Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith said that only the market opened, the community will gain maximum advantage & benefit.

Another example, on a smaller scale, is the competition between Boplo vs. Pine. Competition of one (brand) specialist restaurants hodgepodge based in Jakarta, it is to compete to provide service & the best service for customers. The focus of both is no longer open a new outlet but how to maintain the quality of outlets in order to stay consistent.

Wisdom feud ISL vs. LPI

Competition, for example between Sariayu vs. Mustika Ratu, Blue Bird vs. Express vs. Carrefour Hypermart, Indomaret vs. Alfamart, Coca Cola vs. Pepsi, Honda vs Toyota, it finally made concerned the more advanced industrial & developing countries. Developed & developing industries that will certainly provide a better benefit to society.

Indeed, at first the intensity of this dispute will escalate, but over time both sides will recognize that than spending time attacking each other & mutually demanded better to focus on each competition & seeks to show the public that they're the best.

Back to the main feud one footy competition in Indonesia. Looking ahead, it is expected the one leagues will be competing to show that they're the best. New innovations may be created, the quality will continue to rise & profits will increase.

As a fellow "local brand" in lieu of competition will make the brand relevant & not fall off basically tested. To be able to win in the competition a simple solution. For PSSI, they ought to dare to open up & look in to, among others, the weakness which has been a wedge. For that a thorough evaluation needs to be done.

Independent research important to all stakeholders beginning from the supporting fans, administrators, partners to sponsor. The goal is to be able to see the desire & expectation that had been desired by stakeholders.

there's opinions that the image of the competition which is run by the PSSI as it is today far from public expectations. To alter it is certainly not easy. Perceptions that have been created less likely to be abolished. It takes time & budget is not little.

Then PSSI must be & try to recognize that desire to improve devices that become the source of the problem. Not only that, it is important also for PSSI to image reinvent itself in accordance with the perception that expected by the public. This is where the challenge.

In contrast, LPI must use this momentum to take the hearts of footy fans nationwide. as a child, this time a new LPI will start to build their own competition. Perception can be said is still a large zero. that is, it's simpler for LPI to build the public image of the competition because it does not have a memory of the LPI imaging.

But this is where the power of PSSI. With experienced resources, & official support both nationally & internationally as well the league a long history, PSSI ought to be able to fix the existence of the brand. in lieu of spending time to correct & against other league that is a competitor, PSSI better immediate correction measures.

In addition, the scale, the LPI can be spelled "smaller" than its LSI PSSI. "Smaller" - in theory development brand - can be more profitable because it will be simpler to be controlled & corrected if there is a mistake.

However, the LPI must be cautious because with minimal experience & public expectation is so high it can generate brand LPI will decline if these expectations do not become a reality. Therefore, strategies that can be selected LPI is building its brand is slowly but consistently.

Imaging program does not need to be published before the maximum in its first year. Indeed it may be better publicity budget is used to analyze & make regulations to improve the regulation of the league in the approaching years. walking a league is a large problem details. With the "small size" LPI will more quickly & flexibly to make a breakthrough & improvement is expected.

Wisdom of this dispute is unconsciously there has been a reflection of both sides to improve equity or quality of each brand. Hopefully affairs broke down this can be immediately terminated & both parties immediately focus to do the best that will be or has been promised to the public their national footy spectacle & quality that is a quality league.
Congratulations to compete & move forward brand of Indonesia!

For the sake of football, Spot!

2011-01-06T09:26:00.000+07:00

The changes that absolutely must happen. Change for the better. The goal is only one: for the sake of the national football better.

Thursday, November 27, 2008 the house at number Cibubur it looked deserted. Invisible owners. Green-roofed house was not ready to receive guests reporters so that guards could only allow those who asked for comment the owner to wait outside.

"Dad is currently resting. It appears that he looked exhausted and unwell. We can not love because we did not get permission instruction," said one security officer.

It was the day when Nurdin Halid, the owner of the house, out of Rutan Salemba at 06.00 AM. It has been more than two years had elapsed days - long enough well meaning. However, since then criticism and pressure for him resign from his position as Chairman of the PSSI progress.

In fact, it has echoed calls for longer, since Nurdin still languishing in the detention room. The reason is obvious, in view of which side was unethical and unworthy of a national football federation led by someone who was in custody.

But what can I say, criticism and pressure were considered to be the wind. Nurdin was still leading the PSSI to this day. National Football Congress, initiated by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono is almost a year ago was unable to uproot them. Nurdin was still in his chair.

Do not blame anyone if now appears many of the resistance movement against Nurdin and his PSSI. When the national team appear wholeheartedly in AFF Cup revered, Nurdin and his PSSI forbidden to be showered praise. They still hit by criticism.

The appeal in the emerging virtual worlds. It's all one voice, a voice that is almost the same as two years ago: Nurdin must resign!

That appeal. In a concrete and tangible steps, resistance appeared, one of them, in a new form of competition named the Premier League Indonesia (LPI). LPI promising a full competition would change: the club is not funded budget, foreign referees to games more regularly, and particularly the enforcement of fair play.

Promise of change is good, and worth the wait if LPI is able to fulfill his promise.

Problems began to emerge when the PSSI did not agree with the appearance of LPI. The clubs who defected threatened sanctions. National team players who played there were not separated from their spotlight. For them there is only one legitimate competition: Liga Indonesia, including the ISL.

PSSI also started out the arguments and various regulations, including in it that LPI will not be recognized by the AFC. But pedulikah LPI against all that? No.

LPI is born with their own funds, the club itself and the audience itself (later). So far they do not ask winners of the competition to play in AFC competitions. Assuming LPI is the tournament "between schools", which they do is want to give a decent competition and could advance the football Indonesia.

"This is what the Indonesian football, I think, ought to be," said Arifin Panigoro, the founder of LPI, the official launch of the competition some time ago.

I personally do not defend the LPI. Not too pro ISL. For me, as long as both can be good and better, no problem. Who should benefit from just one: football itself!

Hope with the emergence of LPI is to get the jolt of moral ISL so they want to clean up into a better direction. If the competition is going well, of course, the quality of the national football will be lifted up. Players produced by the competition is also better. In the end, these qualities, ideally, can be transmitted to the national team - which of course is expected to produce an achievement.

But once again PSSI act dumb. They still survive with all the legal rules and regulations - something that used to ignore when they're on top.

If they could talk to regulatory and legal order, where they were when Nurdin in prison? At that time, and perhaps up to now can be repeated infinitely, we can just talk, "From the moral side, no lead is worth a federation of inmates behind bars, especially the former prisoners were still leading up to this moment."

We're talking morals here.

Sportsmanship, Nationalism, and Mussolini

2010-12-28T14:59:00.000+07:00

Indonesian soccer team was shown a demonstrative work. There is rapid development of performance-earlier performance. National team hailed as national heroes on the gridiron battlefield.

Indeed, in a scene between countries, Indonesia is less able to maximize his performance; a few tournaments last only a few times a game, then eliminated. However, for the people of Indonesia, AFF Cup 2010 is a milestone rise of Indonesian football.

Some things to note is precious to us about the mentality of the player, which began to appear there champion character. Ability and teamwork is a decisive aspect in every game. Not only is the game of individual stars, but all lines of the weapon. Furthermore, no longer a matter of winning or losing, but how the players have the vision and mission of a champion. Sportsmanship! That's one important point about the mentality of a winner.

"Nationalization" National Team

Each time held AFF Cup 2010, tens of thousands of supporters to meet the stadium and sing songs of encouragement. Being a new phenomenon in which the stadium management policy issues being discussed. Changes in the trend of a sudden it makes the management of Bung Karno stadium in Jakarta overwhelmed. Enthusiasm of people who want to see on one side and the limited facilities on the other side makes numerous protests over dissatisfaction with the service the stadium. Public interest, not only lovers of football only, in support of Red and White teams can be seen clearly.

Most eastern region until most western Indonesia as if put together. We had the same hope and support national team to win games. Furthermore, within each, appear to have a sense of Indonesia, which form simply materialized in the form of national team who played against teams from neighboring countries.

AFF national team glory in 2010 from his first game until the final - which previously had been preceded by expectations of the community - raises several implications. First, nationalism in the sense of forming a string bond formed images of nationhood. The emotional attachment between individuals become emerged and strengthened set aside the boundaries of ethnicity, religion, and class are merged in a feeling of nationality: Indonesian. Condition "gemeinschaft" Ferdinand Tonnies style that says about the pool of people with minds are bound to one another with the purpose of connectedness between individuals with a wrapping of values occur in this phenomenon. With its unique, romantic patriotic, sports make individuals who separate prior to immerse themselves in a new form: fans.

Second, the long wait Indonesian football community will create high expectations. With the bad experience of Indonesian football is always synonymous with emotionality and violence, the mentality of society today as supporters and the national team as a player on the field began to take shape. The development of attitudes and actions of fans and players showed sportsmanship in any matches as one of the most important points, in addition to skill development and game engineering. National team appearance at this precise moment brings both the positive impacts.

Nationalism or Euphoria?

Sporting events, especially with inter-state level, not just about matches involving players, supporters, and in the range of a few minutes of the game. Like the clash of political categorization level, international level sport can be said of high-level politics rather than just low-level. With a model characterized by high-level image of the war, the victory of one party in a game has some influence on inter-state image. Victory team will display the meaning of establishment conditions in the country, the level of maturity of society, winning mentality, and high attention in terms of public tertiary (sport).

The final match AFF 2010 this time for instance, which brought Indonesia and Malaysia. Clash of interests and issues that some times heated between the two countries made the final match AFF 2010 this became sort of part of proving yourself. With the background of the intertwined relationship between the two countries before like that, the game is full of top symbol in it.

The condition that the sport became a kind of high-level politics reminiscent of the World Cup event in early generations. In 1938 was the third time the World Cup was held, held in France. The situation of war and political instability at that time make sports competition between countries and the World Cup it becomes a tool of political imagery. More than that, to a certain extent, the prestige of winning the World Cup is projected as a tool ideologizing and acquisition effects. Benito Musollini who led Italy at that time saw that the World Cup is an effective tool in the middle of the situation, and give a mandate to win it as he had previously won in 1934. Italy won the World Cup again. However, there are interesting things at that time. Because of his passion, Mussolini until the threat to his players that defeat was death to them.

In the context of the Indonesian national team finals, the public expectation of victory in the AFF Cup brings certain pressures in it, for the players. Achievements of the Indonesian national team who jumped to the attention of many people, at once raises the potential politicization of the final match. Edward W. Said in his Orientalism (1979), or Ben Anderson in his Imagined Community (1983), it describes the condition of narrow nationalist sentiment among nations and within it, where any form of communication to potential politicization. But, basically anything like that can be recognized and avoided if each party as subject to re-interpret the object.

Experience World Cup 1938 by Mussolini's politicization and the threat to Italy's players to bring victory for the second consecutive year. However, it is a different interpretation of the spirit of nationalism and sport sportsmanship. Just after passing through a long period, 44 years from that time, Italy could sense the position of champion again. Reduction of the meaning of nationalism and the politicization of sports sportsmanship may be effective to be doping of the players, but it proved not to last long with based on the pressure. One - one actually can not play, because nervous with his own family (read: fans).

Indonesia-Malaysia-final match yesterday however was able to show the implications of meaning-meaning as above. However, it should be understood within the framework of nationalism and genuine sportsmanship. It would be very unfortunate if nationalism and sportsmanship that have been formed in the person of each - were the people of Indonesia as a unitary nation will corrupt its meaning by thinking that is not productive. This sort of thing would only be a euphoria that will instantly disappear, like the victory of "nationalism" which helped Italy Mussolini vanished out of their office.

If we can maintain the spirit of nationalism and sportsmanship without reductions political and sheer euphoria, then it is true that "Eagle on indonesian chest!" or "GARUDA di dada rakyat Indonesia".

Indonesia, don't be Startled, Gumunan, and Dumeh

2010-12-28T14:54:00.000+07:00

Meaning what else can we take from the first round results AFF Cup final 2010 between Malaysia and Indonesia? Three goals without reply that Rajagopal's men managed to scored the goal Markus Horison help us, to borrow a phrase in the song KLA Project, "willing, come down to earth".

Before the final match took place, euphoria breaks out everywhere, permeate through the layer elite elite subjects. Subjects among the elite and even the fair sex who had not previously been directly watch the football match at the stadium was willing to queue for hours to buy tickets to watch their favorite teams games.

Unfortunately, their willingness is not accompanied by professional organizers to manage ticket sales. Meanwhile, on the other hand, the layer of the elite, both sporting and political elites, all of them as a race want to show, that he (they) who share the critical success factors of national team football in the early rounds AFF Cup 2010.

Then came the fateful night at the Bukit Jalil Stadium. We made surprise, despite never losing 1-5 in the group stage, it was Team Malaysia can still find many weaknesses in the defense of our national team. And regardless of the incident laser beam which contributed to the decline in the concentration of our players, the 0-3 defeat by Riedl is recognized not solely because of the incident.

In the eyes Riedl, Malaysia's first goal which is printed on the 61st minute was a turning point squad game crash of Garuda. This is the first meaning of that defeat: ojo kagetan, do not easily shocked.

After the defeat in the final leg of this first, should we become aware of the soccer world, there are no shortcuts in obtaining a strong national team. Naturalization, which was previously considered by the elite PSSI as "panasea" "drugs of all kinds of illnesses during the period of our football world leadership Nurdin Halid, it turns out he was" placebo "that only sheer able to give effect (positive) moment. Because only a "placebo", he can not be expected to always give effect to every situation and condition.

This is the second meaning of defeat at the Bukit Jalil Stadium was: ojo gumunan. It is true that the presence of Cristian Gonzalez and Irfan Bachdim come to bring fresh air in the game farm team Riedl. However, we must be ojo gumunan alias can not easily impressed and fascinated because someday they will be powerless to face meeting the opponent's defense line. Therefore, competition is spinning correctly and coaching players from an early age remains a major prerequisite come and gotten the national team is really tough that can be victorious in the various championships that follow.

The third meaning, ojo dumeh (do not just because), it should be used as a lesson for Nurdin Halid and his men at the FA or else by Menpora. Just because the National team is flying, the players were involved and preoccupied by things beyond the technical affairs of football. It did not take long we can already see the results.

Now, we just hope in the remaining time available Alfred Riedl and his assistant coaches managed to fix all the weaknesses of the national team. Also, hopefully there is a miracle took place during the second game in GBK Senayan Stadium on 29 December so that Indonesia could become AFF Cup Champion 2010.

Finally, once the most important, first-round defeat at AFF Cup 2010 Final match turned out to be a "blessing in disguise" for our football world. With all the events that occurred during the AFF Cup 2010, and with a performance as has been shown PSSI board in previous periods, it should be the national football stakeholders can make decisions about what is the best step that can be taken in order to save the future of football national. Will the best step that can be realized?

El Loco, Disappearances and comes with 70 Minute Goal

2010-12-21T10:39:00.000+07:00

By the age of 34 years, Cristian Gonzalez defeated agile than Irfan Bachdim or Yongky Aribowo. But El Loco is very effective, even after the 'lost' 70 minutes he still emerged with a goal.

Overall, the Indonesian national team played very well in two games AFF Cup semi-final. Show insistent and discipline, Alfred Riedl protege plucked two wins each with a score of 1-0.

If there's one decent player who was appointed to be a star in the game, all would agree that Cristian Gonzalez is the one. After creating a goal with his head in the first leg, a few hours ago spectacular kick from outside the penalty box back so the winner of Indonesia.

Decision squad had Uruguayan footballer naturalization is not a step which proved futile. Persib Bandung striker is always a top choice in the entire match Alfred Riedl Indonesia in AFF Cup.

After a debut with a donation of one goal, to break down the wicket Gonzalez absent Laos and Thailand. But he then pays the coach's confidence with the ball scored twice to nets Philippines.

Compared Yongky Aribowo, installed as his partner last night, Gonzalez was lost mobility. He also could not move swiftly as Mohammad Nasuha often comb the field or who have a speed Okto Maniani above average.

But Gonzales is clearly not less than his colleagues, with age which is growing dusk he was smart enough to choose the 'move as necessary'. The result is that movements are very effective, especially Gonazales also have a very good body balance, which makes him good at keeping the ball.

Especially for the match in the second leg, coach Simon McMenemy Philippines have their own assessment. Gonzales called almost no role in throughout the game. But he later appeared suddenly and instantly make a goal.

"He disappeared for 70 minutes. But when he gets the ball he always has a chance to score," McMenemy said after the game.

McMenemy also lauds the game's vision Gonzales. British coach assess Gonzales also often undergo playmaking role, which opens space for colleagues to pierce more deeply.

"He's a tough player, when he gets the ball he passes to the other side and when it can again pass to the other side again. When facing a player like that is very difficult to guard," said McMenemy.

Related Gonzales age of 34 years, McMenemy considers it not an obstacle for the striker to play well.

"Gonzalez has been 34 years? That means he was older than me," joked 33-year coach who always look stylish.

Back to our home

2010-12-06T15:20:00.000+07:00

Well ... The Day to home has arrived. Day to victory has come. Day to hold a trophy is in sight. Supposedly, there's nothing more beautiful than "go home".

Indonesian Football has long searched for achievements. Nineteen years is a very long time span in the search and the odyssey. Brought gold medals from SEA Games in Manila in 1991 was as "dumb inscription" - Its historical importance, but it does not say anything.

This country has got to talk again on the gridiron.Do not need all the way up to the World Cup level, but enough of the nearest first: Southeast Asia.And AFF AFF Suzuki Cup Cupatau 2010 to a "back route" to bring victory.

We already know the history of the greatness of Indonesia in the Asian region in the past.Unfortunately, this is now. And now we are even not the most frightening in Southeast Asia, not just in football but also in the whole sports, because there are always other ASEAN countries which are located on Indonesia in the SEA Games and Asian Games.

In the AFF Cup - formerly the Tiger Cup - the best achievement of troops "Garuda" was runner up three times from seven editions. Finally, two years ago, Indonesia under the Singapore finish in the group phase, held in Jakarta. Qualify for the semifinals, Bambang Pamungkas and friends lose aggregate 1-3 of Thailand.

Now the opportunity came again, and it was more golden opportunity because the team will begin at home, at the Bung Karno Stadium, which is known worldwide as one of the stadiums in Asia with the most vibrant atmosphere. Now it was just how the first steps were taken, starting tonight (12/01/2010), when Indonesia tried Malaysia, and Laos and Thailand.

"The Red and White" led by an Austrian named Alfred Riedl. Supposedly he's well aware of the meaning of the cup victory for this country. If successful, it will enter the history books of Indonesia as a foreigner who can provide something for the football team, like last time do Anatoli Polosin (Soviet Union) in 1991. He can flutter his name more than Ivan Kolev and Peter Withe, for example again.

But this is not about Riedl. It's about the best group of players who owned this land. More about a football system in the country. Is getting better and can tread the path better.

So far, Riedl assessed to give a positive impression. 1-7 defeat of Uruguay does not have to be calculated, because the caste we are too far away with the 2010 World Cup semifinalists. But the victory over Timor Leste and Taiwan is more realistic to be used as a measure of team preparation.

He also had "won" the conflict with the board of PSSI, when he judged "not give effect to nothing" by PSSI chairman Nurdin Halid, in four months early works. He even called a "do not know the customary" by Andi Darussalam Tabusala, when he told to the team doctors are not joined in the briefing of players, but he felt had the power.

But Riedl still showed his power by crossing out Boaz Solossa because votes do not have a disciplined commitment to the interests of the national team. And once it PSSI no power to prevent his decision, although the attacker Persipura it is one of the best players in the archipelago today.

Riedl has changed in the squad, with senior players and youth combine. The names of previously sound familiar to the national team, has become part of the AFF Cup team. They are Benny Wahyudi, Yesayas Desnam, M. Nasuha, Zulkifili Syukur, Ahmad Bustomi, Oktovianus Maniani, Toni Sucipto, Yongki Aribowo, and Johan Juansyah.

For the first time national team player is inhabited by "half" of Indonesia. Uruguay People named Cristian Gonzalez, the old poor across as one of the best strikers in the League of Indonesia, approved to become citizens of Indonesia. (Note: he married a woman from Indonesia named Eva Nurida Siregar in 1995, converting, and choose Mustafa Habibi as his Islamic name).

Similarly, Irfan Bachdim. Mulatto man 22 years of Indonesia-Dutch finally joined the national team, after such a long discourse. Bachdim expected to transmit the mentality to play in Europe because it never went to college Ajax and FC Utrecht.

Now Rield and his men will start the job, working to produce something fun and proud fans. Some people argue, more people now need results rather than process, because the national football has been too long imprisoned in the dry season accomplishments. Unfortunately, the process was considered as the fruit of football management system that never improved. If the team still failed also high achievers in this year's AFF Cup, perhaps not the team who should be responsible, but the PSSI. Caps just a product of a larger system, which dealt with the parent organization in the country's football.

But it still can wait until December 29th. Riedl and his army should be allowed to focus on to the pitch, put all his best. Fans would support them all out.Problem is, no doubt. Though still "tacky" because often clashed at club level, but business-supporting capacity of the national team, supporters of Indonesia deserves thumbs up. This is because the love of the people in football have been so fused flesh and blood.

Love is what makes hope of seeing a trophy won by Indonesia has always maintained by his fans.Moreover, the AFF Cup 2010 is a golden opportunity because held in front of their own eyes.

Three years ago we raise the slogan of a very strong and full of confidence. "It's Our Home", when Indonesia was one of the host 2007 Asian Cup.This time the slogan that can be used again, for hope that never dies.

His appearance was satisfactory. So, Ferguson decided against lowering Hernandez Valencia. Hernandez answered with a decisive victory scored MU 1-0.

Gareth Bale, Perfect Thanks to Rugby

2010-11-29T14:35:00.000+07:00

"GAME rugby is very strong physical emphasis. This sport is not for me. I was too skinny to be a rugby player. "

Gareth Bale had a twitter trending topics on English soil after a beautiful pass to score his left leg into the goal Stoke City at the weekend Premier League-2, (21 / 8). One of the two goal that brought his team, Tottenham Hotspur, the first victory in the 2010-11 season.

Neat game that increasingly emphasized the importance of Bale on the left side of the Spurs. It is at once a sign that he has been steadily into left midfield. New position began to familiar since last season.

Previous Bale is more often played as left back. But his energy is too dear to use just to survive. Strong physique makes Bale also has the ability to attack the slick.

The advantage it gets from the result to his rugby in the past. Bale had ever been a player behind the Whitchurch High School football team when he turn 14 years old.
Sam Warburton, professional athletes from Wales rugby admitted Bale is one of the great rugby players have ever encountered. In fact, Warburton deliberately chose the same school to be able to play with the Cardiff-born youth.

"At that time, I deliberately chose to play rugby for Whitchurch with Bale. I always can not wait to go to school, everything just because you want to practice football with him, "said Warburton.
Through the rugby left leg strength Bale also began honed. Gwyn Morris, Whitchurch rugby coach justify it.

"No doubt, the strength of his left foot is amazing. Through his left foot, Bale did touch first with the ball with a very beautiful, "said Morris.

At first, strengths Bale's left leg was counterbalanced by his right leg. Therefore, Morris had time to do exercises that require Bale not to kick over the left foot.

"At the time I make the rules. If he uses his left foot will be counted as a violation, "added Morris. "The strength of his left foot was no doubt. However, to train him to use his right leg was very difficult. "

Morris added, the pattern of such exercise was done only to make Bale as a rugby player who reliably. "The coach wants Bale became the perfect rugby player. If you are able to use his right foot as good as his left foot, Bale would be the perfect rugby athlete, "he said.

Too skinny

You Can Get Paid Money for Blogging â€“ Really, and it Might be Easier Than You Think!

Author: Debt Free

Did you know you can get paid money for blogging? Really, itâ€™s true. Although many people blog for free because they love to write or want their message heard, many others make a nice income from their blog. If you want to get paid for blogging these are opportunities everywhere for that sort of thing.

If youâ€™re a heck of writer you may even be paid for writing blog posts on otherâ€™s blogs, a practice known as guest blogging. Most often this is done for free as a favor, or in return for a nice backlink, but some people do get paid for it too.

What about actually having your blog earn you money, 24/7 weather youâ€™re writing or not? Thatâ€™s what holds the strongest appeal for the majority of people that are looking to monetize their blog. You have many options to earn passive income from your blog.

Probably the single most common source of blog revenue is from Google Adwords, a form of contextual advertising. You can just place these ads on your blog and let the ad agency do the rest of the work for you. Googleâ€™s spiders crawl your blog and look at the content of the post where the ad is. Google then serves up an ad that is closely relevant to the content in your blog post.

The close matching gives value to your readers and increases the chance that someone clicks on the ad. That click is when you get paid. How much depends upon many things, but the one that is the most in your control is the content of your post. Some visitors are worth much more to advertisers, so posts that attract those visitors are served ads that pay your more per click. Some bloggers make a full time income with AdWords, and tens of thousands more make a nice secondary income.

If you have a tightly themed blog and sufficient traffic, you can also sell advertising space on your blog to various advertisers. Although you may thing the poor economy would make this difficult, the reverse is actually true. Businesses are looking for value, and a tightly themed blog that appeals strongly to their desired demographic, and puts their ad in front of enough eyes is a great value to the advertiser.

Some bloggers are making between $50 and $200 per ad per month for these arrangements. In some cases the more popular bloggers make thousands for banner ads on their sites. Remember that in most cases there is room for more than one ad. So if for example, your blog has room for 6 ads on the front page, and you get $200 for the 3 on the premium positions, and $40 for the three on the less prominent slots, youâ€™ve made a tidy $720 per month.

The other extremely popular blog monetization technique is affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing simply pays you a commission when you send your traffic to another site, and your visitor either buys something or fills out a lead form with their contact information. This is very popular among bloggers.

Some of the biggest companies in the world have affiliate programs, such as Blockbuster Video, Sony, E*Trade, E*Bay, Ford, American Express, and Amazon.com. Countless smaller companies also use affiliate marketing to drive sales and brand awareness, or get qualified sales leads. You simply have to get approved to their affiliate programs and pick a program that fits well with the theme of your posts.

If you can help these companies from your blog, you have the ability to get paid for blogging, and pretty darn well, too! Weather you want to make a full time income as a pro blogger, or just want to make some extra cash to help out in this down economy, your blog can help.

Show the Way, Sir Ancelotti

Since Chelsea go into the elite club of Europe, every year the West London club's supporters have always said it was time they became European champions. But every time that they also failed.

Though never a champion, Chelsea actually have a pretty lucrative record in the Champions League. Recorded four times they entered the semifinals and once in the final in a matter of seven years since Roman Abramovich bought them in 2003.

Always they were eliminated by not profitably. At least in the eyes of supporters of Chelsea, of course.

If only John Terry does not slip while on penalties against Manchester United in the final in 2008, might be another story - said supporters of this club.

Or no so-called Jose Mourinho as Luis Garcia's phantom goal, because the ball was not passed the goal line, when Liverpool get rid of Chelsea in the semifinals the season 2004/2005.

They also called Barcelona to get rid of them in the semi-finals in 2008/2009 due to poor performances over the referee Tom Henning Ovrebo favorable Barcelona. Not because the beautiful game of Barcelona.

Ball fan, of course, can argue until red face of things like this without an agreement. After all, football in the chat room is the issue of opinion and hypothetical in nature.

Disadvantage or not, for the owner of Chelsea is a separate dizziness. Having establish herself as one of the dominant force in English football, so why the title in the longing that never arrived?

In terms of players, Chelsea are not short of good players. From the coach, less what with Claudio Ranieri, Jose Mourinho, Luiz Felipe Scolari and Guus Hidink. Avram Grant's so-so said to be less convincing, although he was the only one who brought Chelsea to the European final.

In a matter of Chelsea officials, the cause of failure is the inability Chelsea Chelsea coach to accommodate the desire of profound to win the Champions League. Not because of a better opponent. Nor for the disadvantage, though it is also in their minds.

Profound desire that has created the atmosphere that is pressing on the entire body of the team. Consider what John Terry said the club would ambitions outlined by Roman Abramovich every year, "have to win every competition that followed". It means a clean sweep of whose name the Carling Cup, FA Cup, Premier League and Champions League of course.

Even Chelsea fans were many who said the same thing every time you were asked about their expectations every year. "Broom clean," they said.

As great-great players and coaches how much we will never tenggengengen Javanese word, alias make a profound feeling burdened because as unattainable. But of course you would not say no to anyone who has poured over 600 million pounds for the club.

It is said that is why Carlo Ancelotti is selected. He is a former player and coach at the club which has a similar pressure with Chelsea. AC Milan is one of the most successful clubs in Italy and Europe with success not only sought but as an unquestionable destiny. As a player and coach he has four times won the Champions League while at the same time dominating Italian football.

He was hired because of visits to understand how to manage demand and make it happen without feeling burdened by the demands. He was assessed to understand how to play football in Europe, once said to understand how to avoid such misfortunes are always insistent upon Chelsea at the European level the match.

For a while it seemed Ancelotti will be able to meet and manage the demands that exist in Chelsea. In the first year at Chelsea he was immediately offered a double degree: Premier League champions and FA Cup. Chelsea this year both in the Premier League and Champions League super convincing. If Mourinho's golden age marked by a very strong defense, so now Chelsea is not just strong in defense but scored with a very swift flowing.

Optimism mop (which at the same pressure), although they actually had been knocked out in the Carling Cup, back formations at Stamford Bridge. Carlo Ancelotti's face did not seem to budge with that demand. Likewise the players like Chelsea is no longer disturbed by the pressure.

It's just that that is still in question, is it true Chelsea under Ancelotti will be able to avoid the kinds of Luis Garcia's phantom goal, or umpire who is not observant, or slip style of John Terry? Is it true that Ancelotti could manage misfortune? Or Ancelotti always bring good luck?

Let us wait.

Naturalization and Dreams of PSSI

2010-10-26T18:08:00.000+07:00

Indonesian soccer history is the history of defeat after defeat. 3-0 victory over Maldives in Siliwangi Stadium, Bandung, 12 October 2010, after a slaughtered 1-7 by Uruguay, in fact the first victory in 12 games last international.

Imagine, a successful final ever plucked a red and white senior national team before the AFF Cup in 2008 with a score of 4-0 over Cambodia.

Just as an Nurdin Halid who still faced the wall though has been pushed down everywhere, so the fall soccer Indonesian achievement that would not go up, despite the (supposedly) a variety of answers have been sought and many steps have been taken.

One solution which is then pushed to the surface is the naturalization of foreign players. The names like Tobias Waisapy, Johnny van Beukering, and Raphael Guillermo Eduardo Maitomo was flying as candidates, the foreign players who would be imported PSSI. Besides them, there is also Sergio van Dijk, Kim Jeffrey Kurniawan, Jeffrey de Vischer, Alessandro Trabucco, Irfan Bachdim, and some more names that should be persuaded to become a citizen of Indonesia.

Today, naturalization in the world of football is no longer a new thing. Look, how the European countries that also relies on football champions import players in national teams. But the problem, the naturalization PSSI is already branded as a shortcut to boost achievement. This step is considered an instant, no more frustration from the failure of the coaching system is PSSI, if not desperate measures the general chairman of his own. Even more nervous again, all the foreign players who were targeted are those who have Indonesian blood descendants overseas, mainly from the Netherlands. Consequently, the pros and cons also appear.

What is the naturalization of foreign players is needed PSSI?

In the French team for the 2010 World Cup for example, there were approximately 13 players naturalization strengthen Les Bleus, who incidentally is repeated four years before in Germany. Not be denied if the services and achievements thanks to the descendants of immigrants and naturalized players like Zinedine Zidane (Algeria), Patrick Veira (Senegal), Lilian Thuram (Guadeloupe), or Thierry Hendry (Guadeloupe-Martinique) that, France managed to dominate the 1998 World Cup and Euro 2000 and won the 2006 World Cup runner-up.

Even Germany is famous with egoism "Deustch über Alles", the more accustomed to be met by national team players including the naturalization of immigrants who are often seen as a source of expense and trouble. Call it a descendant of Tunisia Sami Khedira, cacao from newly naturalized Brazilian in 2009, Denis Aogo (Nigeria), Jerome Boateng (Ghana), until a Mesut Oezil (Turkey), which soared as the new star in South Africa. In Asia, Japan and Singapore were among the most diligent conduct naturalization of foreign players.

But they do not naturalization carelessly and as easy as we imagine. Moreover, European countries are known to have roots long enough racism in maintaining the purity of blood. Is not before the decade of the 90s, there are still common in the setting of racial streotipe position players? Where a central position as goalkeeper, Sweeper, or the striker is always filled by white players who are considered to have higher intelligence than black players.

At present, naturalized French footballer was actually not without problems, although the players and immigrant naturalization has a lot to prove his achievements under the banner of Les Bleus. When to host the 1998 World Cup as an example, right-wing politician Jean-Marie Le Pen had attacked the coach Aime Jacquet because it considers the portion given to the descendants of immigrants in the national team players are too broad. For people like Le Pen: 'The French original was the one who knew about defending the country. "

Dignity of the nation and self-interest

Perhaps fears of Le Pen is not entirely wrong. Always terbersit naturalization anxiety if the players will not play wholeheartedly defend his new country. Because, in addition to football has long been a part of diplomacy and the pride of a nation, in this globalization era of nationalism and identity can be so pliable by economic power.

Therefore, the meaning is different from any citizen of the nation. Understanding people is not just paperwork, comply with applicable laws, pay taxes, or carry the same rights and obligations. Because of this, the government and the French people never question the love for Zidane in Algeria and its dual passport. Nobody could accuse Brazilian Liedson, Pepe, Deco as "Malin Kundang" because they chose to defend Portugal. No problem for the Dutch when Giovanni van Bronchost, the captain, recognizes Indonesia as the country his ancestors with pride. What matters is how they perform brilliantly, and it the name the team that defended the country.

Because in the era of globalization, citizenship could be just a matter of self-interest: "What will I get if I defend your country?" So here, which applies is the law of economics; case-benefit. Thus naturalization none other market issues.

Meanwhile: "A country is not just land and houses. A country is faces, legs to anchor in the earth, memories, smells that wafted in childhood, a patch of field of dreams, a fortune in the direction of hidden treasures behind mountain, "was a Berber village girl in the novel Baisses Yeux, by Tahar Ben Jelloun, Moroccan Muslim writers who write in French-Goenawan Mohamad was quoted as saying in a note Fringe.

So, I think it would be naive if PSSI (or Nurdin Halid?) Was so determined to naturalization of foreign players in European Indonesian descent and sincerely hope they still have little sense of love of the land of their ancestors. While in a time long enough, residents of Chinese descent in this country ever be "bumiputera" out in a discriminatory, ranging from forced to change its name to the culture deprived.

If naturalization is seen as a solution qualified for the national football interests and dignity of the Indonesian people, in my opinion is more questionable is the matter of how far the quality of the players that target. Given the names on the list of candidates in a bind PSSI dubious achievements-his work, and mostly just play in the clubs under division landless. Even their names were barely audible before. So, why are half-hearted search for a foreign player? Why naturalization of foreign players if their ability is not much different from our local players?

Of course, we already understand that the answer is a question back: Is there a classmate van Bronchost players willing to play for the national team that ranked Indonesia 131 FIFA, just because his parents came from the Moluccas?

Do not get a sense of frustration at football achievements make us dream in broad daylight. Europe with the prestigious league-league is the dream of every professional footballer. A lot of money, prestige, tight and berbobotnya flood of competition is the main reason soccer stars who play in various major league English, Spanish, or Italian. Included in the switch here to defend European citizenship.

The things that make a cacao so choose to play for Germany than the country of Brazil. Or Mauro Camoranesi Italy decided to strengthen the squad rather than competing with Argentina's national team, the country of his birth. In the 2010 World Cup, there are at least about 10 non-bleeding players who choose to defend Germany's Der Panzer, despite the fact they were able to defend the team his own country if they wish.

In addition, the number of naturalized players in the French team for example is fairly natural thing, if we refer to the history of this country. Because since the republic was not so, France has become the destination of migration from various countries, especially the Dark Continent and the Caribbean. "Naturalization is rooted in this country. However, it does not mean there are players who qualified native French," said Eric Abidal who bleed Martinique.

Similarly, Germany is flooded with waves of migrant workers (gastarbeiter) Turkey after World War II. Mesut Oezil is this second-generation Turkish immigrant who was born in Gelsenkirchen industrial area.

Another with the story Jong Tae-se, young stars of North Korea. Jong was born from parents bloody South Korean living in Japan. He was born in Nagoya, Japan, March 2, 1984 and never played in North's domestic competition. Joining it to the North squad was not easy. Jong Tae-se decided to defend North Korea after the communist country witnessed the defeat of Japan in the 2006 World Cup qualifiers. He then went to North Korean embassy in Japan and begging citizenship. But the application is rejected because North Korea did not acknowledge the existence of the South. It was only then thanks to the help of Chongryon, a pro-North Korea organization, he finally got the passport. Syahdan, Jong Tae-se option to defend North Korea because he felt a bond after his education in college who founded the country.

Ah, back on PSSI plan naturalization of foreign players to boost the achievement of Indonesian descent, it seems we still have to wait for proof of how far the results on the AFF Cup, 1 to 29 December next, in which Indonesia became co-host Vietnam. After the failure to step into the Asian Cup, AFF Cup is a target of at least that proclaimed PSSI for achievement in the region. Coach Alfred Riedl was contracted until 2012 ketimpa this task is not easy, considering that Indonesia join in group A which is quite heavy with Thailand and Malaysia.

I do not know. For a while we probably can only pray.

Ooohhh ... Liverpool

2010-10-20T14:07:00.000+07:00

Everyone knows, John Henry bought Liverpool because he is confident the club's history a great potential, which is believed to be generated and exploited in the future. History in the sense of tradition and achievement.

He was not a Roman Abramovich or Sheikh Mansour who buy to start making history. This is not to say Chelsea or Manchester City have no history, as sick as any of this reality for supporters of both clubs, there are different degrees of historical achievement when compared with Liverpool.

Nor is it to say Abramovich or Sheikh Mansour does not expect each club will be able to support themselves and be profitable for them.

John Henry is more similar to the Glazer family at Manchester United's purchase. Although also not equal one hundred percent. Because even though Manchester United's history can be said is equivalent to Liverpool, Glazer bought Manchester United when the club was at the top of glory. Reflected in the price.

Of course the history of Liverpool is a great capital. Everyone knows, history is a magnet of its own. He is an attraction that makes people want to associate themselves with it.

The longer the good track record and tradition of success, the greater the likelihood people associate themselves with it. More and more people want to be part of that history. In other words, the greater will be his supporters.

Choose any club in the world who have good track records, can be guaranteed they will also have a lot of supporters. Although we also know performance factors are not the only cause someone to be supporters. But that's for discussion at another time.

Maybe John Henry feels lucky that he got a relatively cheap price for Liverpool with historical records such as Liverpool, 300 million pounds. Is not Tom Hicks and George Gillett have to pay around £ 435 million to buy it?

People say, John Henry can be cheap because Hicks and Gillett push debt payment is due and pay them is not strong.

The creditors are reluctant to believe in the American duo is because it considers both hard to believe. Are not they the beginning of the purchase of Liverpool Liverpool they say they reach for the purchase money of my own pocket and Liverpool will not be burdened with debt? Did not impress in the beginning, they are different from the Glazers who deliberately borrow money from Bank to buy Manchester United and then impose a personal debt to the club?

From the bawdy chaos that occurred in Liverpool later we know that Hicks and Gillett's behavior is not much different from the Glazers, only just a smaller scale. It's just that unfortunately, Liverpool revenues were far behind Manchester United. So even though their debt is smaller, still has problems they face become larger.

Hicks and Gillett are reluctant to sell Liverpool but circumstances, in this case through court judgments, forcing them to be submissive and off Liverpool. Technicality law they can not avoid.

But there is another impression, which if true, would be very stifling for Liverpool supporters. Why the club as good as Liverpool took one and a half years to sell it? Why is the price is only 300 million dollars? Declined to 135 million pounds from the previous three years.

Could Liverpool is a club that is growing down his achievement? The more down prominence? A "civilization" that was heading for ruin football?

Of course this is a temporary. But where it will move transience: deteriorating or improving. In front of his new owner, Liverpool slumped in position number two from the bottom of the Premier League standings after a 0-2 defeat of rival, Everton.

This is the beginning of Liverpool's worst competition since 1953/1954, the year when they were relegated. Someone must have whispered to John Henry will record this history. And maybe John Henry was 300 million pound sterling is not too cheap anymore.

Do not worry Liverpool ..! We are your fans around the world continue to pray and support you to bounce back.
"You'll Never Walk Alone."

PSSI and Nurdin who Never Know Indigenous

2010-10-17T17:13:00.000+07:00

Suddenly Squire Nurdin Halid began boasting about Alfred Riedl. As quoted by many media yesterday, Squire Nurdin complained about four months of leadership which he considered Alfred Riedl did not provide meaningful progress and development for the senior national team.

Nurdin complaints on the performance of Alfred Riedl well-deserved ridicule. Healthy-minded people would not judge a coach just two games based testing (Uruguay and Maldives). Want to blame the defeat of Uruguay? Should have a major defeat was predictable. Even more to blame is that choose Uruguay as opposed to a free trial.

Want to blame Riedl who failed to provide the best performance when your opponent is Maldives? Better to think first complaint against the Stadium Siliwangi Riedl who finished the trial. Agency Liga Indonesia (BLI) itself already love the yellow light on the reasonableness of the Stadium Persib Bandung mat Siliwangi for LSI. PSSI and the Agency for National Team (BTN) instead opt Siliwangi Stadium as the national team trials. Do not blame Stadium Siliwangi if Riedl complained about the condition of the field, but blame the BTN that gratuitous PSSI and choose the national team trials.

Uruguay defeated opponents and a 3-0 win over the Maldives can not be used as benchmarks for Riedl. Better to think why PSSI Squire Nurdin could not give adequate rival in the national team training camp during Ramadan yesterday, and "only" can give Pro Titan as a rival national team, while at the same trial against Oman Malaysia (which team last January's national team beat Indonesia in AFC Asian Cup qualification 2012).

That's why greeting Squire Nurdin Riedl performance regarding this feels artificial. Where it came from a greeting Squire Nurdin this?

A few days earlier, while Indonesia will face the Maldives, Alfred Riedl has also been subject to spray other PSSI skipper, Andi Darussalam Tabusala. Riedl said to repel personal physician Tabusala because it was in the room when he was giving a briefing on the national team players ahead of the match against Maldives. Tabusala reportedly upset and cranky, so chose to sit in the stands at Stadium Siliwangi than sitting on the bench to accompany the team in his capacity as national team manager.

With a tone of bringing about the customs of Indonesia, Tabusala told the press: "He wants to come here because ... get something to eat. Riedl must know the customs. "

Frankly, it is difficult to not link the incident "did not know the customary" it with the remark about the performance of Squire Nurdin Riedl. And for me, frankly, speech Squire Nurdin or Tabusala about Riedl is not only misplaced, but also the fruit of a heretical thought.

To the Squire Nurdin who complained about four months Riedl leadership in the national team which he considered did not provide the development, let us together - just shouting into the ears Squire Nurdin (going up to the left or right ear): "what progress you've made for the national team for many PSSI-year so Squire? "

To the accuses Tabusala customary Riedl not know, I want to say: been a long time and world soccer PSSI Indonesia did not have customs. If indeed PSSI have mores, customs then it has nothing to do with customs and traditions of Indonesia.

PSSI customs is no shame. It clearly failed to provide performance but still want to be Chairman of the PSSI. It was obviously corrupt (note: Nurdin was sentenced to court), but still insist to be a leader of an organization. Or, maybe, Squire Nurdin and Tabusala want to say that it is shameless as the customs of Indonesia?

PSSI customs are wishy-washy and slow. Peter White were chosen as national team coach since managed to bring Thailand's national team won the Tiger Cup. But it is nothing PSSI also fired. Alfred Riedl chosen because it could bring Vietnam to qualify for the second round of Asian Cup 2008, but yet nothing has been skewed comments about its performance. It is typical also of a team or player in-suspension and subjected to severe punishment but instead own a Squire Nurdin cancel. What Squire Nurdin and Tabusala want to say sluggish attitude and wishy-washy as the customs of Indonesia?

PSSI mores is not responsible. 500 million prize for Persibo Bojonegoro still dikemplang. Prize winners Arema also took many months for the disbursements. Not to mention the cases of debt that was sticking to the hotel and transportation services. What Squire Nurdin and Tabusala want to say irresponsible attitude and like to lose money as a customs Nations people of Indonesia?

PSSI and Indonesia is the world of football does not know the customs. How can Tabusala say about the customs of Indonesia during Indonesia's own conditions football is full of violence, the brawl between fans, fights between players, tackling like a horror movie scenes of kung-fu, etc.? Or Squire Nurdin and Tabusala want to say Indonesian customs people just love with violence?

No need to carry around customs. If you do not care and respect with Eastern customs, PSSI and Squire Nurdin itself that should introspection. But where ever the hell, PSSI and Squire Nurdin introspection? In blasphemy and ordered to withdraw the entire stadium (in front of President SBY and millions of viewers), even he still did not care.

For me, not Alfred Riedl who do not know the customs, but PSSI and Nurdin Halid themselves who do not know the customs.

Assimilation and Nationalism in the World Football

2010-09-30T08:06:00.000+07:00

In history, assimilation occurs plural football player. And European countries are most keen to do it.

Eusebio was Portugal's greatest player of all time. But everyone knew he was from Mozambique and had come to Portugal after passing through adolescence.

Alfredo di Stefano as well as the poor across the Real Madrid and Spain. He Argentines of Italian descent. He even had to defend Argentina and Colombia before playing for Spain.

Ferenc Puskás came as Hungarian striker with a great reputation and then defected to Spain, shoulder to shoulder with Di Stefano for Spain.

France team that will present the World Cup and European Cup full of first-generation descendants of immigrants or born outside of France. Even one of them, David Trezeguet, perhaps not so fluent in French. They do not defend it if only France, is entitled to defend their home countries.

The Dutch team started the '80s as well. Germany is usually lower players 'pure' German, now can no longer say that. British alike. All European countries there are hardly any that are not possessed by two or three players the results of assimilation.

In Asia, Japan is one of the vanguard. The country is a lot to absorb and Brazilian footballer in history to have at least five national players who come from the State Samba.

Assimilation can be obtained due to various factors. There is due to historical links such as former colonies, mixed marriages, lineage, the right to settle because of time already eligible to become citizens and many others.

It is true that various factors are administrative in nature. A more fundamental reason for assimilation is actually just one, which shall be deemed able to contribute to raise the prestige of the country in international football. But administrative reasons it is very important to validate that the person concerned has become part of "us" and not "them". During the rule of the "us" it's not yet satisfied, will be very difficult to accept as good as any player into the "psyche" of the group.

If the club level this problem easily solved. Contracts signed by the player in question measured through financial rewards.

At country level a different contract bond. There must be a sense of shared struggle for an order of ideas, values, perhaps (nationality) nationalism, seabstrak whatever. So, when the players took to the field represent a country he was not solely play football for money.

If players can not be reconciled with the values that he represents it will be difficult to expect the best from him. Likewise groups represented by the player in question will be very difficult to accept the player.

That is the importance of compliance with these administrative requirements. Therefore, the process is called assimilation: an action to accept, embrace, binding and internalization of values.

However, countries or groups that absorb players were not allowed to behave selfishly. There should be flexibility, awareness, to let the players run the lives of absorption were they already had before. Doing political contract to be part of a set of new values does not mean to throw away all the value they already had before.

After all the players that have the history, life and order which they had previously lived. It is impossible to ask them to decide everything and the totality of citizens as "indigenous".

Reflecting on European countries to absorb the player, that's what they do.

Government of France or French nationals have enraged not only because of Zinedine Zidane says his love of Algeria and dual passports, for example. Or the Dutch people do not feel humiliated when their team captain, Giovanni Van Bronchost, proudly told his parents came from Indonesia. Even when Ferenc Puskás decided to return to Hungary, there were no Spaniards or the Spanish government condemned as a traitor.

New this Berbatov

2010-09-23T10:51:00.000+07:00

Today Manchester United fans must have been enjoying Dimitar Berbatov game. After two seasons are not productive, it was the middle of the Bulgarian international striker rediscover sharp.

Scored five goals from six games of a significant size for an attacker. That statistic Berbatov at the start of English Premier League this season, which makes the top scorer while Manchester United.

Berbatov started with incised one goal when Manchester United beat Chelsea in the Community Shield. He then made one in the opening league game against Newcastle United, and do it again on goal for West Ham and Everton.

The most sensational is that when players posted a 29-year netting three goals to Liverpool this evening, Sunday (9/19/2010), which brought victory for Manchester United at Old Trafford with a score of 3-2. A note to mention, this is the first time in 64 years that a Manchester United player scored a hat-trick against Liverpool.

Berbatov made the second goal with a spectacular manner salto. And her third goal is to ensure the victory of the Red Devils at the minute 84, after Steven Gerrard had an equalizer for a 2-2.

The former Bayer Leverkusen player's first two seasons have no pride in the MU. Purchased with very expensive high (30.75 million pounds) from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer of 2008, he was not productive and is always labeled "lazy".

In his first season he only packed 14 goals from 43 matches, and only collected 12 goals from the same number of games last season. But manager Sir Alex Ferguson rarely criticize him and keep him.

"The media often criticize him last season, and it usually happens when we buy a player with expensive and he is not scoring a hat-trick in every game," said Ferguson told Sky Sports after the victory over the Reds.

"This season he started with a cool style. Exercise his pre-season very well, his pre-season tour is good. He continues," continued the manager. "But never was any doubt on the quality of this man. And we saw it again today."

The Pale Face Paul Scholes

2010-09-07T11:20:00.000+07:00

When David Beckham for the first train with Real Madrid, the first question he asked his new partner is not what it was like moving to Spain. Nor will stay in the region where the Madrid. Of course it's not about his wife, Victoria aka Posh Spice. But, "What was it like playing in a team with Paul Scholes?"

Yes. Paul Scholes. The pale which is the attacking midfielder from Manchester United. While football fans often underestimate this player, but the treasure of the Holy Grail of football in Europe, his name was upheld.

Even the midfield maestro Zinedine Zidane's Europe referred to it as the best midfielder of his generation. Recently in an interview he never regretted the opportunity to play with Scholes. Understandably though the big European clubs are interested, Paul Scholes has never wanted to play for another club except Manchester United.

Paul Scholes is a member of Man United's golden generation of the 90s with David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Nicky Butt, and the Neville brothers. But compared with fellow fifth class, such Scholes profile off the radar.

Maybe the problem is a very shy person Scholes and deliberately shut themselves from the spotlight. He very rarely gives interviews to reporters, never comes to celebrity parties, very quiet even with familiar friends. It is said that during nearly twenty years in football he had just four times to give an exclusive interview.

Scholes could be said one of the few players who never express themselves except in the field. Eric Cantona after he beat a retreat to establish defensive game to Man United's offensive line. Game one of them recognized as the best footballer in Europe. Bait-bait that tracing either land or the stomach as accurate and deadly. Imagination in giving an unusual bait.

Remarkably, according to Ruud Gullit, is Scholes can do all that with very simple. So that he does not like something incredible. That is why, still according to Gullit, the audience sees it as mediocre, but colleagues and opponents are often gobsmacked.

Not just having an attack itself, he was a dangerous attacker either by foot or head. He was able to score a spectacular goal with a well-known far-range shot hard and accurate. No wonder if he has scored 150 goals for Man United. Pretty good for a midfielder.

Man United after a successful call Cantona, people will mention Beckham, Giggs, Keane, Cole, Yorke, Solksjaer and other big names. But unplug Paul Scholes of Man United's team was the all-star players would say no. That is why all players should alternating but Paul Scholes remains a mascot for Man United.

But as has been said, he can look really great on the field but once the match is over and journalists fought to interview, he disappeared from the search. People never know what you think as well as his views on various things related to football.

For example people are very curious why he decided to resign from the English national team five years ago. Outstanding issues that he did not like the style of game that is displayed Sven Goran Eriksson and tired of not playing in the position to be his best position. But he never said anything at all. No discredit, not criticize, not denounce.

Steve McLaren who replaced Sven, get rid of David Beckham but twice to persuade Scholes to return to the national team. Scholes is also twice rejected the reasons for wanting more time for family.

Even when at the age of 35, when his ability was decreased mainly stamina to cut into the penalty box, Fabio Capello persuaded to go to the World Cup in South Africa. Scholes refused on the grounds, one of them, not good with other players who had fought for England during the preliminary round.

Not long ago he regretted not fulfill that calling. That is why now memorized news Capello wants to call for the European Cup. Yet at the same time he closed the door for contemporary players Scholes with the biggest profile in England, David Beckham on the grounds it was too old.

Capello sentiment for the old players this is not unusual. Take for instance gifted Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger. Not long ago he was still saying, if I may vote all Premier League players are there, then Scholes was the first player in the arrangement of the players. Carlo Ancelotti also expressed the same sentiment. Maybe this is already somewhat obsolete because it is said when he was still holding AC Milan.

Foster children when it will meet with Man United in the Champions Cup. In front of reporters he said that none of the players Man United will go into 11 major players of Milan. Though there is a Ryan Giggs, Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and a host of other names. But Ancelotti then paused and said, "Yahhhh ... except for Paul Scholes."

Muslim footballer in Europe; If their fasting on Ramadhan?

2010-08-20T13:26:00.000+07:00

Ramadan this time fell only about four days before the competition in European football is rolling. English Premier League have started their competition with the arena opening Community Shield. Netherlands, France and Germany is already running. While Italy and Spain will begin running in two weeks.

Call it in Spain there is Frederic Kanoute, in Italy there is Mohammed Sissoko, Sulley Muntari, while in England there is Nicolas "Bilal" Anelka, Robin Van Persie, Kolo and Yaya Toure, and in Germany there is Franck Ribery. Did they run the fasting in Ramadan in the middle of the competition is very tough and physical and emotional blackmail?

Franck Ribery

A few years back, at the beginning of its emergence-gadang digadang Ribery would be like Zinedine Zidane. In addition to equally come from France, both of them also Muslims. Zidane during his career regarded as a football player who managed to present a Muslim. Remember the incident to the Marco Materrazzi tandukan mautnya when French dueled in the 2006 World Cup finals in Germany? That said, it's because Materrazzi insulting Zidane's mother and sister who is a Muslim. When Zidane retired, Ribery Zidane is expected to continue the trail.

But what about reality? When Bayern Munich, the club now, the Bundesliga champions, Ribery also turned out to join the celebration of drinking beer with colleagues. The most recent of the most warm, Ribery snared by French police for the services of underage prostitutes. He was much reviled and blasphemed. So, Ribery Ramadan fasting? Natural Wallohu bi shawwab.

Sulley Muntari and Mohammed Sissoko

Italian Serie A football player contributed two well-known Muslim. Both originated from Africa, but different clubs. Ghana's Muntari grazing with Inter Milan and Juventus Sissoko on, two big Italian clubs who become rivals heavy. Last season, during Ramadan, Inter coach Jose Mourinho-time, and now to Real Madrid, who often questioned the appearance Muntari is out of form on the field since the middle of implementing fast Muntari.

While Sissoko was replaced by a coach often in the second round, if the Juventus match, with the reason that he did not cancel his fast.

Kolo Toure and Nicolas Anelka

Both play in the English Premiere League. Toure as captain of Manchester City and Anelka robber in Chelsea, champions league last season. Toure, who is from Ivory Coast has never hid his identity as a Muslim seoarang. When Ramadan comes but it fits the season, during at Arsenal, Toure still trying to fast.

That the consequences as a Muslim, "he said.

While Anelka is a convert. Every time he makes goals, selebrasinya is hugging his hand on his chest like a man who was praying. He thinks he is as grateful as a Muslim. As is known, before embracing Islam, he was known as a player bengal, clashed with fellow players and to coach, so it's no wonder she was thrown out by many previous clubs. Just mention Arsenal, Real Madrid, and Liverpool. Not to mention the clubs who have defended a kind of middle-Man City or Fenerbahce. Every Ramadan comes, Anelka tried hard to keep the fast.

Frederic Kanoute

This is the figure of a Muslim footballer to be said for a devout Muslim. Kanoute, Mali and origin played in a top club Sevilla-Spain-always never failed to perform his duty as a Muslim. Whenever and wherever he played, if it fits the times of prayer, then he would perform prayers in the locker room on a break even game. Then he asked jersey (costumes), specifically when the club sponsored by a gambling house. He also bought a mosque in Seville, when the mosque was no longer able to afford it. The most famous is the support given to the Palestinians. When Gaza was bombed by Israel a year ago, in one selebrasinya, he opened his shirt and showed it jerseynya which contains the writings of black and Palestine in various languages, including Arabic.

Every Ramadan, any heavy league matches in Spain, Kanoute was never canceled his fast. And she remains a goal-getters who qualified.

High calcium milk regularly every disease can indeed help prevent bone loss or osteoporosis. But so, high calcium milk consumption should not be necessary every day, especially for those who have grown old because it can facilitate the formation of kidney stones.

As noted surgeon urinary tract from RS Premier Bintaro, Dr. Gideon Tampubolon gas station, intake of calcium is one factor that can trigger the formation of kidney stones. Besides calcium, other substances that can cause kidney stones is oxalate. No wonder when the food or drink high calcium or oxalate, such as milk, cheese, chocolate tea, nuts and spinach is the kind of menu that should be avoided for those who never develop the disease.

Gideon warned, those who have a habit of drinking high calcium milk every day should be wary. Her advice, high calcium milk should not be consumed every day especially for those who are already adults and the elderly.

"Until now there has been no benchmark how many grams of calcium per day which can cause kidney stones. But I would suggest not need to consume high-calcium milk every day. Especially for those who had a kidney stone disease should be further reduced," said Gideon on the sidelines of a media gathering Thursday (19/08/2010) yesterday.

He explained that the high-calcium milk consumption is beneficial for the prevention of osteoporosis, especially when age children and adolescents.

Long History of Community Shield

2010-08-08T15:53:00.000+07:00

This weekend the English Premier League opener gate, Community Shield, will be at the start. Who would have thought that seems to match this opening the curtain just had a long history.

Embryo of Community Shield began in a competition called the Sheriff of London Charity Shield. Intended for the charity tournament was first held in 1898 by bringing the two teams; best teams from professional leagues and the best teams from the amateur league.

Sheriff of London Charity Shield and then only lasted until 1907 - or just until the 10th edition - due to the dominance of teams from professional leagues. Other reasons, there are divisions between the FA and clubs to form an amateur at that time Amateur Football Alliance (AFA).

After the Sheriff of London Charity Shield is dissolved, then formed Community Shield in 1908. The goal is still the same, namely the tournament for charity.

The first edition bring together Community Shield Manchester United (champions of Division One - the highest division at the time) and Queens Park Rangers (champions of the Southern League). 1-1 so that should be repeated.

MU successful replications at the party covered QPR 4-0 and become the first team won the Community Shield. For the record, match between Manchester United vs QPR became the only game that has replay Community Shield. Another note, both games were held in Stamford Bridge, not at Wembley.

Year 1930 stipulated that the Community Shield is a tournament that brings the highest division champion with the champions of the FA Cup. Format serve targeted and then survived until today.

Community Shield winner also got to know the terms together. The last two teams get the title with Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur were there in 1991. At that time both a 0-0 draw.

Only after the year 1991 is not known for longer term joint champions. Determining who's come out a winner, if playing a draw, conducted on penalties. Last three seasons, always ending with the Community Shield on penalties.

Another story? Wembley apparently not exclusively a venue from the Community Shield. The stadium's new pride of the British people to host in 1974 - and always to host until 2000. Before 1974, many stadiums are never menghelat Community Shield, including Stamford Bridge, Old Trafford, Highbury, White Hart Lane to Anfield.

When Wembley was renovated in 2000 games could be moved to the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff. New in 2007 ago, the Community Shield "home" back to the stadium formerly known as the two twin towers.
