For instance, World Cup 2014 news, BPL news, When Wednesdays, and much more. This is Futbol Fanatics!

Predicted Finsh for Bpl?

This year's BPL (Barclays Premier League) has been both stunning and intense. We didn't know that Everton could last that long in the Champions League finish. Also, Manchester United's terrible season becoming even worse when they lost to their arch rivals Manchester City in the Manchester Derby. It's been very interesting, but which BPL season isn't? This our predicted top four finish. What do you guys think the top 4 BPL teams will be?

1. Chelsea
2. Manchester City
3. Liverpool
4. Arsenal

When Wednesdays?

Every Wednesday, We'll post some fun backgrounds and history of player retired and still playing. Today we will talk about the none other Pele. Pele was Brazilian and will always be recognized for playing soccer in a way we didn't know existed. With his superb dribbling, and quick feet, it was like a living nightmare for all defenders. Another cool thing about Pele, is that he won a Ballon D'Or until years after he retired. Reason for this is that they didn't give this prestigious award to South America, just Europe. Our personal opinion is that Pele deserved way more than one Ballon D'Or. What do you guys think? 

Soccer: The Great Invention

Studies have proven of where and when a sport similar to soccer was invented. In China, during the 2nd and 3rd centuries BC. During the Han dynasty, people dribbled leather balls by kicking it into a small net. The pass time was also played by the Greek and Roman people. Modern soccer was started in England, known at that time as fotbol. Soccer or Futbol is the world' most popular sport. Who's to blame when every other generation has great players. From Pele to Ziddane, and Beckham, to Messi and Ronaldo.

Manchester United: Glorious Past but Stressful Future

Manchester United has been struggling ever since their beloved Sir Alex Ferguson retired. Their chances of qualifying to the Champions league is very slim. United fans have been depressed all year with disappointing results most of the year. For example, they lost to their arch rivals Manchester City, 5-1. Only a couple of things really made United fans jump for joy. Those things were Rooney's superb 58 yard strike, and Rooney most likely to finish his career in United.This summer is a must for the Red Devils to sign some key player to improve their team on paper and on the field. Next year, will be very interesting how this team will play against the never doubtful Manchester United.

Will Injuries effect Italy's Performance in the World Cup

The great international team has a big struggle in the cup, the countries best players are out with injuries. Stephan El Shaarawy out with a foot injury but he will most likely return but Mario Balotelli out with an injury to his eye and shoulder.In my personal opinion I believe he will return in time for the cup because of his superb recovery rate and his strength and bravery unlike no other player. As of now Italy's position in the world cup can't be predicted because of the injuries.If the players recover in time I can see Italy winning the cup.

Football & Soccer: Cleat Difference

The differences between football and soccer cleats is very noticeable. Soccer cleats are lower and do not supply the ankle of a soccer player. Football cleats are higher than soccer cleats and gives less of a chance for a player to roll their ankle. So, maybe you could put on football cleats for a soccer game. Vice-versa might not be the best plan. Soccer cleats are very light, compared to football cleats. Football cleats on a soccer field will slow a player down.

This Years New Summer Collection

Finally, the new summer collection has been released. Nike has released their new colorways for their main cleats, and released their brand new cleat the Magista. I can't wait to try out the new Magista (bottom right) because their the first ever soccer cleat that provides. It's not just Nike that's getting all the spot light, Adidas also released their summer collection. Adidas released their new colorways, with two new cleats. The f50 crazy lights, which are the lightest soccer shoe ever to exist, and the Samba Primeknit (bottom left) which are the first ever soccer cleats that are handmade. This summer will be known for the evolution soccer!
                                                 


                                                                                     

Falcao's Return Soon Enough for World Cup?

Rumors released that Columbia's beloved Foward Falcao may come back from his serious knee surgery before the World Cup begins (about 80 days). This will be the make or break moment for Columbia, if he can not return in time then almost all hope of wining the cup is lost for Columbia.Falcao is a superstar striker for the French team AS Monaco, a team struggling without him even though the teams extreme wealth has got them many talented players.

World Cup Around the Corner

It's almost here! The legendary World Cup is only 83 days away. This year Brazil will be booming economically. Even if you aren't a soccer fanatic, like us, the world cup is always a blast. Watching your country's team fight to move on. Even if your country loses, it's still good watching them fight their heart out for the fans. And, who knows, maybe the underdog team wins it all in the end. In conclusion, the world cup is coming soon, and at its peak it will be fun to watch teams clash, and as the rivalries continue. The cup is right around the corner, we are very anxious.
