Indoor soccer shoes are very functional and fashionable. When we talk about soccer shoes we think of studs and soccer boots. Soccer shoes has two different types, the outdoor soccer shoes which is commonly used by soccer players at field and the turf shoes which is used for playing indoor or during the winter. The shoes can also be used by men and women during training.

What makes artificial turf footwear special is that it can be use for playing and it can also be use as sneakers as well. Why an indoor soccer shoes? It's because the sole has a better grip for indoor surfaces and makes you control your moves. It may look like a plain sneakers but it is really designed for indoor soccer.

The main difference between turf soccer shoes and firm ground soccer shoes is its cleats. Turf shoes have small cleats to lower the pressure of hard field conditions for your foot and its very light. Firm Ground Soccer Shoes on the other hand have a molded cleat for firm or hard ground conditions. Besides being affordable turf shoes has the best quality and much more improved.

Companies that manufacture this product include Puma, Adidas, Nike and Lotto. If you think these shoes are just the same as sneakers, you are wrong for they perform better than sneakers.

Swimming with the Sharks

I was a member of the swim team for the most part of my adolescence and all through college. While some people were crashing frat parties, staying up all night on weekdays, and badgering poor *foreign exchange students* who hardly spoke any English, I was sleeping soundly by 8PM. I wake up at 4:30AM every day to hit the pool and had at least an hour of practice after class. Back then I was dead serious about making it as far as my human fins can take me, and I felt like I was unstoppable. But all of that changed when doctors said I couldn't. Who was I to argue with the school doctor, the local hospital surgeon, my coach, and our family doctor; they know better than I do. So I moved on and kept dry all these years. That's what sissies like me do anyway.

But the 2004 Olympics held in Athens changed everything for me. After I watched Ian Thorpe of Australia, Michael Phelps of the US team, and Ukranian Yana Klochkova slice through the blue waters, I was amazed at how much I've missed the sport. I know I couldn't swim professionally anymore but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy it as a spectator's sport, does it? And that was how my passion for competitive swimming was rekindled.

Aside from their obvious magnificence in style and speed, I also noticed how different their swim wear was from what we used to deck out in back in the day. I remember wearing ordinary navy blue Speedo trunks, a cap, and goggles. We didn't really make a whole lot of fuss about our uniforms; we just wanted to swim as fast as we possibly can. It's almost like they stepped out of an alien ship and traversed the waters for intergalactic swimming dominion. They looked like Neptune's commando sharks. The Speedo Men's Aquablade Brief Suit, for example, is made of a one-of-a-kind Aquablade material that overcomes water surface tension by creating less drag and water tension from key areas of the body. It has chlorine-resistant lining, reinforced seams, and a secure drawstring for a comfortable competitive experience.

Most of the competitive high-tech swim wear sold today combine traditional elements, longevity, and speed facilitation. TYR and Jantzen are a couple of renowned brands that manufacture high quality gear. Personally, I've always trusted the Speedo brand for both professional and casual swimming. They've been around for years and people have given testimonies on how much they love their Speedo suits and accessories. The popular brand prioritizes comfort and functionality above all else but they also interject technological advancements in terms of style and quality materials used in production. The *Adidas JetConcept*, Speedo's Fastskin, Fastskin FSII, and Flexskin are considered the pioneer technology of competitive swimming wear. While the Adidas Jetconcept glides through water like a plane does in the air, the Speedo counterpart is designed with replicated shark skin surfaces that reduce water drag in certain parts of the swimmer's body. Professional women swimmers can sport the FSII Recordbreaker which is cut like an ordinary one-piece bathing suit but feels completely superior because of the Fastskin details. This particular suit is available in various sizes and comes in silver, black, or navy.

Meanwhile, men's professional swim wear has branched from the traditional brief-cut trunks. It has actually evolved into body suits with various lengths and cuts. Ian Thorpe was probably the first competitive swimmer who wore a full body suit during a swim meet back in 1999. Initially, I thought he was loony to wear something like it but looking back now, it made a lot of sense. If swimmers wear caps on their heads and shave hair off the rest of their body to swim faster, why not put on a full suit to do all the work, right? The Men's Fastskin FSII High Neck Kneeskin Suit is made from a special fabric that dramatically reduces hydro drag. The seams and high-tech fit also improve the swimmer's muscle performance. None of these items come cheap but once you're in the water swimming far ahead of the pack, wallet damage will be the last thing on your mind.

South Africa and the 2010 Soccer World Cup - The Challenges

South Africa is a beautiful country and has the potential to be a wonderful location for the event. In the past South Africa has proven itself to be successful in hosting major sporting events. The Rugby World Cup of 1995 and the Cricket World Cup of 2003 were hosted by South Africa.

For the 2010 Soccer World Cup to be a success, there are a couple of challenges for South Africa. Every South African hopes that all will stand together to ensure the success of the event!

Airport

OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg will be tested to its capacity limits with the arrival of thousands of tourists, fans, players, media, etc that will flock to South Africa for this major event. Unfortunately there are limited flights to the other South African International Airports (Durban, Cape Town, and Lanseria). OR Tambo Int. Airport can be a major bottleneck. ACSA (Airport Company of South Africa) is busy with projects to upgrade the infrastructure. Will it be enough? Will it be completed on time?

Traffic

The major roads in South Africa are already utilized over capacity. With a lack of adequate public transport, this could be a big frustration for soccer fans that needs to get to and from the stadiums. Maybe the Gautrain project will be a success to help alleviate the congestion on the roads? Maybe South Africa can implement a couple of additional public holidays on those days when important soccer events take place?

Crime

I do hope that in the times building up to the start of the 2010 Soccer World Cup that South Africa will come up with a brilliant plan to tackle the crime problem. This is serious, and possibly the biggest single reason why lots of soccer fans will spend the World Cup watching the games on television, internet, or cell phones in the safety of their own homes. The crime problem needs to be addressed as number 1 priority by Politicians, the Justice System, Department of Safety and Security, Police, Correctional Services, and every citizen of South Africa. There is a perception that the crime levels in South Africa is too high. Perceptions matter, so weather it is a true reflection or not, South Africa needs to make a plan!

Stadiums

Will the stadiums be completed on schedule? They should. Progress has been delayed a couple of times due to increasing costs and striking workers.

Crowd Control

Will the local soccer fans behave themselves outside and inside of the stadium? There have been instances of violence when fans could not get tickets for a game and was refused entry at the gates. Hopefully the security and crowd control will be of a high standard to ensure the safety of the players and spectators.

Bafana Bafana

Bafana Bafana - South Africa's National Soccer Team. Will Bafana Bafana be ready and up to their task to be competitive in the event? Currently the team does not have a very good winning record against 1st Class competition. I do hope that they will not be a disgrace for South Africa.

Electricity

Will ESKOM (The national electricity supplier) be able to cope with the load? Currently South Africa is experiencing some major black-outs. Load Shedding plans are in place to share and minimize loss of electricity. It might however have a big impact on the hospitality services, stadium lights, traffic, etc. I am not sure if there is enough time to add more electricity capacity before the kickoff.

Conclusion:

I am sure that if all South Africans stand together and work hard that the above challenges can be overcome! Let's give them our support!

FC Barcelona - The Rivalry With Real Madrid

As long as there have been sport teams, there have been rivalries. Whether it's the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox or the Cincinnati Bengals and the Cleveland Browns, the two rival teams inevitably end up meeting again and again, forming an ongoing heated rivalry that delights fans of the sport. One such rivalry is between Spanish football teams FC Barcelona and Real Madrid.

FC Barcelona (also known as Barça by its fans) and Real Madrid are two of the earliest Spanish football teams, both forming in the 1890s. From the start, the two teams were seen as representatives of two rival regions of Spain, the ancient kingdoms of Castile and Catalonia. Both teams were part of La Liga, a Spanish football league and a rivalry that went far beyond football quickly took root.

It was during and after the Spanish Civil War that the rivalry took on more political overtones. Dictator Francisco Franco banned all peripheral languages, such as Catalan, the language of Barcelona. Catalonia had long been associated with more progressive fashions and political ideas, such as democracy-which was the diametric opposite of Franco's dictatorial regime. FC Barcelona suffered as a result of being a part of the Catalonian culture. Real Madrid, on the other hand, was seen by many Spaniards (and Catalonians in particular) as the "establishment" club. Though Franco seemed to favor Real Madrid, members of both teams suffered under his regime.

The fierce rivalry continued into the 1950s when both clubs sought to sign Alfredo Di Stefano to play for them. Real Madrid eventually won out and Alfredo Di Stefano went on to lead them to many wins. FC Barcelona and Real Madrid went head-to-head twice at the European Cup in the 1960s, with Real Madrid winning one and FC Barcelona winning the other. The two teams clashed once again over a player in 2000 when Luis Figo left FC Barcelona and signed with Real Madrid. FC Barcelona and Real Madrid competed against each other again in the UEFA Champions League semi-final in 2002, with Real Madrid getting the win. The Spanish media dubbed the match "The Match of the Century".

In the mid-2000s, the rivalry ascended to further heights when it acquired its own name, El Clasico. The term El Clasico was traditionally assigned to any South American football rivalry, but the growth of football in the Americas coupled with these two great teams' rivalry led to the coining of the term as applied to FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. This was mostly a marketing scheme communicated via GolTV, an all-football satellite channel, but the term has been embraced by fans worldwide.

El Clasico shows no signs of slowing. To this very day, the two teams inevitably seek each other out on the field to find out who is the best team in Spain. Sometimes FC Barcelona wins and sometimes Real Madrid wins, but ultimately football fans worldwide are the ones who win whenever these two giants meet on the field.
