Scoreboards

In a soccer scoreboards feature, we look at the most famous soccer jersey numbers in the game, pat and present.

Soccer is such an influential game that many fans follow everything that the famous players do. Some die hard fans even celebrate their favorite player’s birthdays, and try to copy their lifestyle. They buy jerseys worn by their favorite players and think of the jersey number as their lucky number. Here are some famous soccer jersey numbers worn by famous players

Ranking players in a particular sport is never easy, and ranking a quarterback, is perhaps even harder. Sometimes the statistics of a quarterback cannot be taken as the sole factor in the ranking. Sure, the current statistics of a quarterback are a good pointer towards their greatness, but no more than that! A quarterback can be great even though his statistics may not be the best. What makes a quarterback great? Different experts assign different values to the qualities of a quarterback, because no two quarterbacks are the same in their ability and talent. A quarterback’s greatness lies not in his stats because there are many quarterbacks whose greatness lies more in their ability to lead their team and to get out of difficult situations. This is why the list of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL is very subjective. We'll give it a go though!

David Beckham is an iconic British athlete. He is more than just a soccer player and has always been in the news, be it his wedding with the former Spice girl Victoria Adams, his hairstyle, his tattoo or rumours that he has been cheating on his wife.

David Beckham was born on May 2, 1975 and has been a soccer lover since his childhood. He started playing football at the age of 5 and went to a soccer school for training. His passion and love for the game made him work particularly hard, and in no time he had earned a chance to participate in an FC Barcelona training session. He then played for a local youth team before being signed by Manchester United as a young teenager. His performances were so outstanding that he received an award for the under-15 player of the year. The soccer scoreboards showed that he made his professional debut at the age of 17 with Manchester United, and helped United win the Champions league in 1999, as well as many other titles.

The fans just love this game of soccer, and in their fervor sometimes they blindly overrate some of the players. These players do not have something extra ordinary in their game but the fans simply love them. Sometimes they turn into such big players because they have a spouse who is a celebrity or because they have performed well only in a couple of high profile matches. Once fans start treating them like big players, companies run after such players and sign them as ambassadors, and then they get important roles in advertisements. This is why players become overrated. According to the fans, here are the most overrated players.

In a football scoreboards feature, we compare the great games of football and rugby and ponder the quesion: which is the toughest?

The first obvious difference is that football players play in small bursts often of just a few seconds, and the football scoreboards show that they generally play no more than 40% of each game as each football team essentially consists of three teams, and subs are unlimited. Rugby players can be substituted, but often they play for the whole game and they spend much more time running as they game is stopped much less than football. This means that rugby players have to have much more stamina, but it also means that football is open to stronger and bigger players with less natural endurance. Football players can be considerably bigger; in fact the heaviest football players are around 380 pounds, whilst rubgy players max out at around 280 pounds.

In a basketball scoreboards feature, we look at the great sport of basketball from the eyes of an English soccer fan. As a big fan of sport, one of the first things I wanted to do when I arrived in North America from the UK for the first time was watch some live sports. My friend offered to take me to see the Toronto Raptors play against the Dallas Maveriks (is that what they are called)?, the basketball scoreboards showing that the big stars at the time were the big German guy for Dallas and the guy who has since moved to Miami for Toronto. As you can see, I'm ashamed to say that my basketball knowledge was, and still is, very limited!

In a football scoreboards feature, we take a look at the top 10 players who have lit up the NFL with their speed.

Speed is by no means the most important skill in football, but it certainly gives players a big head start in their bid to get to the top. Along with ball handling, strength, game intelligence, coordination and fitness, it is one of the skills that the best players possess.

In a soccer scoreboards review, we look at and compare the best two attacking players in the global game today. Soccer is the most popular sport in Europe. Practically everyone on the continent is crazy about the game and the stadiums tend to be full every time there is a match. There is no doubt that the game has produced some great players over the years, and out of today's crop of stars, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are the two that stand out. They play for the greatest and most supported teams in Europe: Real Madrid and Barcelona. It is very hard to compare such great players so let’s take a look at their stats and then try to make a conclusion about who is the greatest.

In a basketball scoreboards feature, we look at the top 5 earning players in the NBA today. National Basketball Association (NBA) is very popular in the United States and it contains some players who no doubt have outstanding skills, whilst others certainly do not. They are just popular only because they are a part of one of the greatest teams. Similarly, some players deserve the large amounts of money that they get, but others don’t: they do not perform according to what they earn and are considered by many to be overpaid. Here we look at top 5 highest paid basketball players, and as you will see, some of them deserve it and some of them absolutely do not.

In a soccer scoreboards feature, we look at the top soccer referees in the game of soccer. Baseball is the ultimate American pass time. If we had to state what the world’s (as a whole) ultimate pass time game is soccer. Soccer is the most played sport in the world, which is why sport apparel companies earn huge revenues from soccer player jersey sales. I wonder, how many jerseys with a referees name and number have these companies sold or even made? The answer of-course is none. This shows that the fans of the game, unless they are heavily criticizing them, tend to overlook one of the most important participants in the game: the referees.

In a football scoreboards feature, we look at the worst of the worst from the NFL. If you are a fan of football, then you no doubt are aware of the various legendary players of the game, the best teams, the best coaches, the best plays on the field, the best players etc. However, you might not know who the worst ever players in the history of NFL are, because it simply might not have occurred to you. Therefore, for your benefit we, loathingly, present you the top 5 “worst” NFL players to have disgraced the beautiful game in the last two decades:
