November NFL Thoughts

...ing 17 ppg after allowing 24 per game last season. The offense is still short on talent and plays a conservative, grind-it-out style. Notice that the Browns are 7-1 under the total.

The 3-5 Raiders have had a tough schedule and some bitter defeats, losing at home to KC by 6 when a late drive stalled, and at Philly by 3. Sunday's shocking 27-23 loss at kansas City on the final play was easily the hardest to take. "This is about as bitter a defeat as you could have," said Oakland quarterback Kerry Collins afterward. It's the type of loss that could break the back of a team. Watch for any finger-pointing or complaining by Oakland players over the next few weeks, especially Randy Moss, who hasn't spoken to the press since early September, which is probably a blessing.

Soccer in scotland

...

scotland has throughout its history been playing Soccer. Historically Scottish soccer players werent limited to 11 players per team, whole villages of Scottish soccer devotees used to challenge other villages to a game.

The rules of soccer at that point werent very uniform and there was little if any provisions against violence, because of this attempts were made to outlaw the game, with king James I even saying in Parliament, "That na man play at the Fute-ball" (No man shall play football/soccer). Despite the attempts of clerics, sheriffs, mayors and even a king the game was kept alive by Scottish soccer players.

As times changed Soccer became a widely accepted sport again, firstly being played at school and universities. At these institutions the rules for soccer were formalized to something closely resembling todays game. The games popularity then spread beyond the school campuses, and local soccer clubs were formed, soccer became a popular spectator sport with blue-collar workers.

With the wide acceptance and popularity of soccer, the World's first international game was set up, between scotland and England. The game took place on 30 November 1872. The Scottish side was one of Scotlands oldest and most established Soccer club, Queens Park. Two thousand people came to the game and saw the last and possibly biggest revolution in the playing of the game. The Scottish te...more

Success Lessons From Three UK Soccer Managers - People Are Always Quick To Put You In A Coffin

...poet Dylan Thomas told people not to die meekly but to "rage, rage against the dying of the light!"

Quite a few people retire from life when they retire from their job. They potter about and waste their valuable time because they accept the verdict of society that the elderly have little left to offer the community.

Retirement is a chance to try learning some new skills; a chance to grow in character and knowledge. Let's not give up the ghost too soon! Let's not get into the coffin before our time.

Soccer managers live on the edge of life. They are always on the knife edge of success or failure. They are sacked when their teams fail to perform.

I enjoy listening to them especially after their teams have lost! Their comments usually have a motivational tip or two in them.

Jose Mourinho won the European soccer champions league with Porto in 2004 and then moved to chelsea in West London where his team won game after game

Recently he has had two poor results and already is being asked if the honeymoon with chelsea is over. He looked glum after two unaccustomed losses but denied that he was worried. He has retained his confidence and motivation.

"Our mood has changed but not our confidence or motivation. When you lose you don't smi...more
