Cheer For England With Team Football Shirts

The England team has always been a favourite among football lovers, and although it may not be more popular as the teams of Argentina and Brazil, it is most certainly as popular as them. And to the home crowd, the England Team has a different place altogether. Over the years, it has produced some of the best football stars of the current football era like David Beckham and Owen and Wayne Rooney, and there aren’t many who would not love to have their team shirts as souvenirs. However, since that it often not possible, replica shirts of the soccer stars are the next option. It is a great way to show your support for your team and if you are fortunate enough to meet your idol, you can have them autographed and display it with pride.

England Football Shirts: England Football Shirts replicas are widely available in almost all the leading sports store in England. You can easily buy them off the rack or have them custom made. Shirts with the name of the football stars imprinted at the back are also available but they cost a bit more than the ones with no names. You can even choose goal keepers’ shirt if you want to stand out from the crowd.

England Football Kit: Instead of just buying a shirt to support your team and if you are a sports person yourself, you can buy the entire football kit. All the items have the logo of the England soccer team and you will definitely look like a national team player yourself when you step out in them. The items like sneakers, gloves, socks etc will all come in useful when you play and the jersey will grab eyeballs when you support your team in them.

Hiring Shirts: If you do not want to buy the shirts because you want to have the one with the latest designing, then you can even hire the football shirts. The jersey of the England football team has undergone quite a few modifications over the years, with each design aiming to make the players look better than before. However, some die hard soccer fans prefer to collect all the shirts, so that they can boast of a collection, which are even handed down from generation to generation.

Football is a maddening game and the frenzy that it creates is undeniable. The team can only perform well when they have its supporters to boost their morale, and the sight of hundreds of supporters in the gallery cheering for them is a treat for the eyes.

England’s Record at the FIFA World Cup

They might not be the best team in the world according to the official ranking system, but there is no doubt that when it comes to fan following and media coverage, the English national football team is second to none.

Let us take a look at how the Three Lions have performed at world football’s biggest event- the FIFA World Cup.

1950 Brazil: – England chose not to play the first three editions of the World Cup (1930, 1934 and 1938), and made their first World Cup appearance five years after WWII. They started well with a 2-0 win over Chile, but subsequent 1-0 defeats to the USA and Spain saw them make an early exit.

1954 Switzerland: – England improved upon their 1950 performance by reaching the last eight in 1954. They topped Group 4, which also consisted of Switzerland, two time world champions Italy and Belgium. Defending champions Uruguay beat them 4-2 in the quarterfinals.

1958 Sweden: – This squad was weakened due to the absence of several players who perished in the September 1957 Munich disaster, but still did well enough to draw all of its league games. England lost their playoff game to the USSR 1-0, with Anatoli Ilyin scoring the winner for the Soviet Union

1962 Chile: – England recovered from an opening loss to Hungary to beat Argentina 3-1 in the next game. Despite only drawing the next game against Bulgaria, England’s superior goal average took them to the quarterfinals, where Garrincha scored twice in Brazil’s 3-1 win.

1966 England: – Sir Alf Ramsay, Walter Winterbottom’s successor orchestrated a famous title triumph that still remains one of England’s greatest sporting achievements. An opening draw against Uruguay was followed by wins over Mexico and France. A bitter quarterfinal against Argentina was won 1-0, with Geoff Hurst, playing instead of the injured Jimmy Greaves, scoring the winner from Martin Peters’ cross. Eusebio and Portugal were beaten 2-1 in the semifinals, and West Germany awaited them in the final. Despite Greaves returning to fitness, Ramsay chose to stick with Hurst, a gamble which paid off as the young West Ham forward netted a hat trick in England’s 4-2 extra time win. Ramsay showed great flexibility and adaptability, using a 4-3-3 for the group games, and then switching to the 4-4-2 for the knockout ones.

1970 Mexico: – Pre tournament favourites England finished second in their group behind Brazil. Despite leading 2-0 in the quarterfinal against West Germany with a little over twenty minutes to go, England lost the game 3-2, and the Germans gained revenge for their loss at Wembley four years ago.

1982 Spain: – England failed to qualify for the 1974 and 1978 World Cups, depriving the world of the opportunity to see stars like Emelyn Hughes and Kevin Keegan on the big stage. England qualified for the second round with a 100% win record from the group stages, but failed to advance after drawing with both West Germany and Portugal.

1986 Mexico: – A loss to Portugal followed by a goalless draw against Morocco saw England come dangerously close to elimination, but Lineker’s hat trick saved the day against Poland. Paraguay were beaten 2-0 in the round of 16, but Diego Maradona knocked England out in the quarterfinals. The legendary playmaker opened the scoring with his «Hand of God» goal, and then dribbled past five English outfield players to score the «Goal of the Century». Lineker’s sixth of the tournament was to be nothing more than a consolation goal as Argentina won 2-1.

1990 Italy: – England’s best performance since 1966 saw them finish fourth in the tournament. They beat Belgium and Cameroon en route to a semifinal clash against West Germany, where Stuart Pearce and Chris Waddle both missed their spot kicks in the shootout. England lost the third place match to the hosts 2-1.

1998 France: – Wins over Tunisia and Colombia saw England qualify for the next round behind group winners Romania. They faced Argentina in the second round. A young David Beckham got sent off for a kick on Diego Simeone, and despite Michael Owen scoring one of the goals of the tournament, England were eliminated on penalties.

2002 Korea and Japan: – David Beckham recovered from a broken metatarsal and exorcised the ghosts of St.Etienne as England beat Argentina in the Group of Death. However a piece of magic from Ronaldinho left David Seaman completely flummoxed, and Brazil showed England the door in the last eight.

2006 Germany: – England’s poor record in penalty shoot outs continued as they were beaten by Portugal in the last eight. They qualified for the knockout stages by topping Group B, and beat Ecuador in the round of 16. Wayne Rooney was sent off for stamping Ricardo Carvalho, and the match became more controversial when Cristiano Ronaldo was seen winking by the cameras as Rooney stormed off. Portuguese keeper Ricardo was the hero in the shootout as Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher all missed their penalties.

With 15 different managers taking the reins since their participation in the FIFA World Cup, England have only hosted the event once and it’s no coincidence that the only time they have won the competition, was in 1966, the year they hosted it.

Will Brazil or Argentina finally rise to the occasion in their semifinal clash? | Copa America



ESPN FC’s Steve Nicol and Janusz Michallik preview the blockbuster clash of the 2019 Copa America: Brazil vs. Argentina. Nicol says he’s «apprehensive» the semifinal will live up to the hype because both sides have underwhelmed so far in the tournament. Michallik says this is «one of the worst Argentina sides» he’s ever seen, but believes anything is possible for Lionel Scaloni’s team with Lionel Messi on the pitch.

Argentina and Culture – Soccer as an indicator?

Every country is unique in a certain way. And to understand the culture of a country you must have experienced this culture. Culture is something that is so extent, that in order to opinion about it you need to be very focused. For example, by comparing one specific aspect of the culture with the culture you know best — that of you native country.

Without this focus, Argentinean culture would give an enormous amount of views. Ask for example someone in the street about Argentina and you will hear: Tango. And maybe also, Buenos Aires, Evita, Military Coups, Borges, Once one of the Wealthiest countries or … Maradona, Soccer.

Culture is about what keeps people together in a community or society (the internal aspect). How strong is this internal binding? But culture is also about how this group interacts with others groups and cultures. For the first aspect it is important to know that Argentina is a country with a very high historic immigration level:

  • «In the peak period of the world’s oversee migration, 1821-1932, six countries absorbed 90 per cent of the total, and among these six, Argentina ranked second in the number of immigrants, with a total of 6,405,000. Between 1857 and 1958 the main source of immigrants to Argentina were Italy and Spain accounting for 46 and 33 percent, respectively, of the total. (www.yale.edu/ynhti/curriculum/units/1990/1/90.01.06.x.html)

Despite this high level of immigration, the Argentinean culture is quite (and comparatively) strong.

For the second element — the interaction of the group with / against others — Argentina is very much a competing culture, whereas the Dutch culture is much more consensus based and cooperative. The fighting spirit — so to say — is much more part of the Argentinean culture that that of the Dutch.

Argentina won the world cup twice. The first time they could celebrate in 1978 (against The Netherlands) and the second time in 1986, they were too strong for West Germany.

Holland participated twice in the world cup finals. In both cases they finished second best. This is where they could learn from the Argentinean Culture.

Vintage Football Shirts – 3 Reasons Why You Should Consider Buying a Retro Football Shirt

Vintage football shirts are becoming more and more popular in recent years and are a great way of showing everyone just how proud you are of your team. What is more, they are a statement of the great affection that you have for the club and it’s history.

Below are three reasons why it makes excellent sense to purchase a retro football shirt next season rather than fork out for yet another strip, which only has the slightest of design changes from last season.

Fashion statement

If you are planning to wear your club’s current team shirt in a 5-a-side game then that is probably fine, so long as you buy three sizes larger than you would normally do, but please be aware that in almost any other situation you are going to look far from cool wearing it. Whatever you do, please do not go out wearing the shirt with a pair of jeans, as that would be a crime.

A retro football shirt on the other hand will usually look pretty cool with a pair of jeans and many clubs’ vintage football shirts are almost fashion statements, which can be worn at all manner of occasions.

Save money

If you can afford to support your team by buying the latest home and away shirt when it changes every season then that is all well and good. However, for those of us on a budget paying out for one of your club’s vintage football shirts makes far more sense.

If you can’t afford the latest strip each year to wear on the terraces, then it is certain that you are going to look much better in a well known retro football shirt from the past, than the away kit from a couple of season’s ago.

This is even more important when the shirt in question has an old sponsor on the front, while on the back is the name of your then favourite player, who has since left the club under a cloud, which seems to be more and more the case with modern day footballers.

Good investment

The final reason why it is worth considering buying a retro football shirt is that they can be a good investment. Please note that this is not always the case, because some of the more popular vintage football shirts are now mass produced, though not to the same extent as a modern day kit. However, it is still possible to find some real gems out there if you shop around.

Where Should I Teach English Abroad? Comparing Teaching Opportunities Around The World

Oftentimes, people who desire to teach English abroad have many different reasons for wanting to teach. However, the primary benefits for choosing to teach English abroad that most teachers mention include the opportunities for cultural immersion, new language acquisition, getting paid to travel, cultural idea exchange, and professional success building.

Some Countries More Inaccessible Than Others

Although there are virtually no limits to where a person can teach abroad, there are of course, some exceptions. Many countries in the Middle East are not easily accessible due to the current political climate in that area of the world, making access to visas and even travel arrangements within these countries less than easy. Although much of Africa is accessible, like the Middle East, many countries in Africa do face civil unrest. For those who choose to teach abroad, extra caution should always be exercised when choosing to do so in countries facing political unrest. While there are plenty of great experiences to enjoy in Africa or the Middle East, going to Asia, Europe, or Latin America fairly often means lower security risks and just as rewarding a teaching and cultural experience.

Teach English in Asia

For those who choose to teach English in Asia, there are many benefits to a teaching position in Cambodia, China, Taiwan, Thailand, or Vietnam. To start, pay tends to be highest in Asian countries due to the robust nature of the economy of the Far East «tiger economy.» The Asian economy is aptly named «tiger economy» because many countries have experienced phenomenal growth, with many jobs being created, and a high demand for English language classes so as to foster greater competitive business advantages worldwide. Native English speakers who choose to teach in Asia are a tremendous asset.

Teach English in Europe

Many of those who prefer to teach English in Europe cite high cultural value – both ancient and modern – as a major draw. Beautiful architecture, open borders, a great transportation system, access to diverse languages, and a broad socio-economic environment await those who teach in Europe. The Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Russia, Spain, and Turkey are all rewarding destinations.

Teach English in Latin America

Native English language speakers who favor placements to teach English in Latin America often describe their teaching time in Latin America as active, fun, vibrant, exciting, palate pleasing, and passion-discovering. Many English language teachers in Latin America learn to eat new types of foods, learn all sorts of interesting new dance forms, get fanatical about futbol, and love to practice Spanish on some of the kindest people on earth. Some of the best teaching destinations include Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico, and Peru.

All in all, whether you teach in Asia, Europe, or Latin America, there is a people, a culture and a language for you!
