IPL bowls over football! ..... wuhu!!

Now, IPL bowls over football!
Calcutta: The difference between cricket and soccer may be as wide as the Grand Canyon, but the Indian Premier League (IPL) is set to bridge the gap! Though not directly, Indian soccer is ready to take inspiration from IPL’s popularity and prosperity to revamp the status of the game in this part of the world.
The Celebrity Management Group (CMG), who gave the city one of its proudest moments when they hosted Diego Maradona in 2008, has joined hands with the Indian Football Association (IFA) to launch the Premier League Soccer (PLS) — an IPL-style franchise driven football tournament.

Though the idea is not unique, the initiative surely packs a promising potential. In a bid to plaster the worn-out reputation of Indian soccer and infuse professionalism, the Bengal-based PLS has been planned to add the much-needed zing to the game. And if one is to believe the organisers, players of international repute and high-class coaches will be fine-tuning the X-factor.
For the league, initially, six franchises will be chosen through competitive bidding for a period of 10 years. The six franchise towns selected are Calcutta, Howrah, Barasat, Asansol, Midnapore and Siliguri. The duration of the tournament, which is approved by the All India Football Federation, will be around seven weeks and the maiden edition will be held in January-March 2012.
With names such as former Dutch World Cupper Edgar Davids and Japanese icon Junichi Inamoto doing the rounds, football’s own IPL will certainly not be short on star power. Among the coaches, Philippe Troussier, who has managed Japan, Nigeria and South Africa at the international stage, is ready to add his expertise to the project.
Each team will have one icon player and three other overseas players. The icon player, according to the organisers, will preferably be a World Cupper or should have represented his country successfully. For the Indian players, the PLS will, however, look beyond the I-League with a view to promote new talent.
An overseas coach with a Fifa/Uefa ‘A’ License will look after each team.
For the franchisee license, bids will be invited from corporate houses with a minimum net worth of Rs 10 crore. According to Bhaswar Goswami, executive director of the organising group, they already have eight interested parties willing to buy a franchisee.
“At the moment there are eight business houses interested in the project… It will only increase with time as it’s quite a lucrative business proposal. Entrepreneurs beyond Bengal are also interested,” he said.
Much like the IPL, it will be mandatory for the teams to include a player from its catchment area. Also, the matches will be played on a home and away basis. All the matches (four days a week) will be played under floodlights and will also beamed live by a regional television channel.
Asked whether proper infrastructure was in place in the districts, Goswami said: “We will look after that… From temporary floodlights to proper dressing rooms, everything will be taken care of.”
On the sidelines of the Rs 25 crore project, development of youth football and a referees’ academy are also on the cards. And with a revenue sharing plan in place, the organisers assure the franchisee owners of profit.
Franchisee bids will take place tentatively in July, but before that the organisers want to finalise the foreign player pool to attract prospective buyers.
Sixes are a must for IPL. But let’s hope that the PLS plans are not hit for a six!

Messi began playing football at a young age and his potential was quickly identified by Barcelona. He left Rosario-based Newell’s Old Boys youth team in 2000 and moved with his family to Europe, as Barcelona offered treatment for his growth hormone deficiency. Making his debut in the 2004–05 season, he broke his team record for the youngest footballer to score a league goal.

Perhaps his most successful season was the 2008–09 season, in which Messi scored 38 goals to play an integral part in a treble-winning campaign. In the following 2009–10 campaign, Messi scored 47 goals in all competitions, equalling Ronaldo’s record total for Barcelona. Messi was the top scorer of the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship with six goals, including two in the final game. Shortly thereafter, he became an established member of Argentina’s senior international team.

Football Or soccer rules


  • Football Or soccer rules 

    Football (called soccer in the United States) is a game made up of two teams of eleven players each. The object of the game is for each team to try and score more goals than the opposition. A goal is scored when one team manages to get the ball into the marked area defended by a member of the opposition called a goalie. The game lasts 90 minutes overall, although this is split into two halves of 45 minutes. Injury time can also be added onto the end of the match. The current rules or "laws of the game" are regulated by FIFA (Federation Internationale de Football Association) and domestic football associations.

Offside

  • The perennial problem for newcomers to football is understanding the offside rule. This is made somewhat harder by the fact there are two elements to offsides in football; being in an offside position, and committing an offside offence.
    To be in an offside position is to be closer to the opponent’s goal than the last opposition outfield player (therefore excluding the goalkeeper) and the ball. However, to commit an offside offence is to have the ball played forward towards you while in that position. As such, you can be in an offside position and not commit an offside offence.
    float_right The Offside Rule
    The rule is further complicated by the fact the referee or his assistant must adjudge you to be ‘active’ in the play before giving an offside decision against you. This can be obvious, for example if you touch the ball in an offside position, but it can be extremely nebulous. The official rule states ‘active’ as meaning “interfering with play… or an opponent… or gaining an advantage by being in that position”. However, as you will find as you watch more and more games, what one referee or linesman considers to be active can be very different to another individual’s interpretation, and the offside rule is generally a major debating point.
    There are other factors to consider which can exempt you from the offside rule. You cannot be offside in your own-half of the pitch, for example, and you cannot be penalised for being in an offside position when a goal kick, throw-in, indirect free kick or corner kick is taken.

Fouls

  • A foul is the penalty given to one player purposefully sabotaging another in a physical way, such as kicking. When a foul occurs the team of the affected player are awarded a free kick, apart from if the foul took place in the penalty area, and then a penalty kick is awarded. When a free kick is taken the opposition must be at least 10 paces away from the individual taking it. A penalty kick is when one player is given a free kick toward the goal from the penalty spot, with only the goalkeeper between the player and the goal. The player who made the foul can be given a yellow card as a warning, or if the incident is deemed serious enough, the offender is given a red card, which means she is expelled from the match.

Throw-in

  • If the ball goes over the line and off the marked pitch, a throw-in is awarded to the opposite team of the one who last touched the ball. The throw-in consists of a player throwing the ball back into the field of play using both hands and holding the ball behind his head as a starting position. If the player does not throw in the correct way, it is deemed a foul throw, and the throw-in is then given to the other team. The deliverer is not allowed to pass directly to the goalkeeper.

Hand ball

  • The goalkeeper is the only member of a team who is allowed to handle the ball during play, and this must only occur in the goalie's team's penalty area. Despite this the goalie is not allowed to touch the ball with his hands if it has been passed back to him by a member of his own team. In this case he can only use his feet or his head to contact the ball. If any other player touches the ball with a hand, this is against the rules and as a consequence, a free kick will be given to the other team.

Substitutes

  • Each team has the option to bring on a maximum of three substitutes during a game. These players are chosen beforehand should they be needed to supplement the team. For a substitute to join the game, the referee must be notified and there must be a break in play in order for the swap to be made
