In addition if the ball skills of a good, Cristiano Ronaldo was also known as speed. Status as the fastest footballer in the world is now validated by a study conducted in Germany. Efforts to measure the speed of sprint football player who performed in Germany supported by the magazine Der Spiegel. And the result is adalahn Ronaldo's name in the top position. Mentioned that the speed of running Real Madrid winger touched rate 33.9 km / hour. This figure is the average when he took the ball and still be in pressure opposing player. Thus Marca reported. Ronaldo thin lead over Arjen Robben, who was sitting in second position with a sprint speed reaches 32.9 km / hour. While the top three and four English players occupied the duo Theo Walcott and Wayne Rooney with each record 32.7 km / h and 32.6 km / hour. Last occupants at number five is the Dutch attacking midfielder who is now in uniform Arsenal, Robin van Persie. Speed that can be taken RVP was 32.1 km / hour. A little surprising is the absence of a Lionel Messi in the list of the top five. And all this time Barcelona star was also known to have a speed above the average. Marca called if the high-speed sprints Ronaldo because the chance to train with the fastest man, Usain Bolt. CR9 could still increase even if the pace continues belatih with world record holder is 100 meters. In comparison, the gold medal in the Olympic 100m number 2008, Bolt kecapatan is 37.1516 km / hr.

World Cup 2010: Group H Analysis - Spain, Switzerland, Honduras, Chile

Group Strength La Furia Roja have been spared a nightmare scenario but still face some tough tests in the section. Ottmar Hitzfeld's Switzerland recovered from a poor start to their qualification campaign to top their listings ahead of Greece and Israel. Meanwhile, Chile were only a point worse off than CONMEBOL section toppers, Brazil and are an exciting, dynamic prospect under Marcelo Bielsa, scoring 32 times in the qualification process. Honduras, back after 28 years to the world stage, are somewhat of an unknown quantity to a global audience but managed to inflict a 3-1 over Mexico during the CONCACAF qualification process and boast a number of impressive performers not to be taken lightly. Group Favourites Spain will certainly fancy their chances of topping the group with relative ease; nine eminently winnable points are on offer for the current world number one and European champions. Wins over Switzerland and Honduras could leave Spain with the enviable prospect of fielding an understrength side in the final match against Chile. Battle for Second Chile and Switzerland are currently next to each other in the current batch of world rankings; the South American side sit 17th with the Swiss one place back; Honduras are a distant 39th. The group promises to be intriguing with so little to choose between the the Swiss and the Chileans on paper and the June 21 clash between the two sides could have a huge bearing on the knock-out credentials of both. The Outsiders It would be unfair to label Honduras as rank underdogs in the section as they could have been handed a lot worse draw. However, the central Americans need to hit the ground running with a decent result against Chile on matchday one. It would be foolish to dismiss La Bicolor as no-hopers, boasting the likes of Wilson Palacios, David Suazo and Carlos Costly in their ranks. The Long Road Forward The runners-up in Group H will surely have a stern task on their hands in the knock-out round of 16. Brazil, Cote d'Ivoire, Portugal and outsiders North Korea comprise Group G, with the top-placed team in that pool moving on to meet Group H's second best. It ensures that the reward for topping the section will only be a tough tie in the second round, with the possibility of facing The Netherlands, Cameroon and Italy further along the tournament ladder.

World Cup 2010: Group G Analysis - Brazil, North Korea, Ivory Coast & Portugal

Group Strength A tantalising battle between three teams, Brazil, Ivory Coast and Portugal, who love to exhibit the beautiful game. North Korea pulled off one of the biggest shocks ever in World Cup finals history when they stunned Italy back in 1966, but they will be out for an even bigger scalp if they can take down the Selecao. Group Favourites Brazil should be confident of securing top spot in the group, but Portugal, if they can really hit form in six months' time, will put in a serious challenge. The Selecao will be glad to face their Portuguese cousins, but a physical encounter with Ivory Coast could give them some problems. Battle for Second Portugal and Ivory Coast will go hammer and tongs to fight for second place at the very least. That they will meet each other in their first group game may be anti-climactic for the final round of games, but it will be an extremely vital opening encounter for both. Whoever loses will face an uphill battle to get back on track. The Outsiders North Korea are the underdogs in this group full of pedigree and star players. They could not have asked for a more difficult first game to kick-start their finals campaign, but if they bag positive results in the other two matches, they could pull off a surprise. Again! The Long Road Forward The runners-up for this group will face the winner of Group H, very likely to be Spain. That essentially means that they will have to face the number one and number two ranked nations in FIFA's current world ranking. It doesn't stop there as a potential clash with Italy also awaits in the Q-finals. The winners of this group, however, could face Netherlands in the last 16, while England, France, Germany or Argentina are possible opponents in the semi-finals.

World Cup 2010: Group F Analysis - Italy, Paraguay, New Zealand & Slovakia

Group Strength Group D and Group G are both very evenly balanced, while tricky challenges await the Netherlands and Spain in Group E and Group H respectively. Group F, on the other hand, is relatively lightweight. While it contains the holders, neither New Zealand nor Slovakia hold any real weight on the international scene. This is only the All Whites' second World Cup, while 2010 is Slovakia's debut. Paraguay have had slightly more success in the World Cup, but have never progressed beyond the last 16. Don't expect anyone but Italy to reach the latter stages of the competition from this group. Group Favourites Italy must be considered heavy favourites for this group. The Azzurri are reigning world champions and have shown their quality during the qualification phase, dropping just six points. Marcello Lippi has already intimated that he knows the majority of his squad for the World Cup, and they will have both the talent and the experience with which to qualify from the group with relative ease. Battle for Second Having picked up wins against both Argentina and Brazil during the CONMEBOL qualification phase, Paraguay showed that they will be no pushovers on the big stage. They conceded less than a goal a game during qualifying, while the likes of Roque Santa Cruz and Salvador Cabanas will be leading the line. Like Italy, the Paraguayan mentality is more inclined towards defence than attack, but they should have enough going forward to secure second place in the group. The Outsiders It's a toss up between New Zealand and Slovakia to see who will finish bottom of the group. New Zealand's only previous appearance in the World Cup finals came in 1982, when they lost all three matches. Slovakia have the stellar Marek Hamsik in their ranks and came through a far more difficult qualifying campaign than the All Whites, but their lack of experience at the very top level may hinder them a little. The Long Road Forward Whoever tops Group F will meet the runners up in Group E in Pretoria. Cameroon and Denmark are likely to be competing for second place. The runners up will meet the Group E winners, most likely the Netherlands. It will get more difficult as the tournament goes on, as the group winners should meet Spain in the quarter finals, while the runners up could meet Brazil.

World Cup 2010: Group E Analysis - Netherlands, Japan, Cameroon & Denmark

Group Strength The only heavyweights in this group are the Netherlands and among the four teams only they can realistically aspire to get beyond the last 16 stage of the competition. The rest of the teams look good but they wouldn't be able to challenge for a quarter-final berth. Yet the games would be interesting to watch as the four teams play different style of football and follow different philosophies and there could be a surprise result or two. Group Favourites The Netherlands are the favourites to win this group. They were in great form in the qualifiers and won all their eight matches. Bert van Marwijk's side have exceptional attacking players such as Robin van Persie, Wesley Sneijder and Arjen Robben and although they are vulnerable at the back, the Oranje should comfortably win the three games in the group. Battle for Second The battle for the runners-up spot would be interesting as Japan, Cameroon and Denmark all would count themselves second favourites in the group. Cameroon would especially believe in themselves given that they are an African side and would be buoyed by a 'home' support. Moreover, they have players such as Samuel Eto'o, Carlos Kameni and Stephane M'bia. The Outsiders Japan could find themselves struggling in the group and with Denmark would be trying to avoid the bottom place. The former World Cup quarter-finalists are one of the strongest teams of Asia but struggle against physical and technically superior sides. Cameroon can be physically intimidating and the Dutch are far superior to them in every aspect. The Long Road Forward Group favourites Holland could potentially meet potential Group F runners-up Paraguay while Cameroon should meet Italy in the last 16 stage if they qualify.

World Cup 2010: Group D Analysis - Germany, Australia, Serbia & Ghana

Group Strength This is by no means the toughest group of all, but it is one of the more complicated sections. This is a group where all four nations finished first in their respective qualifying series and although Germany are the only perennial giants, Australia, Serbia and Ghana are all teams who can put on a great run of form. Group Favourites Germany, not surprisingly, will be favourites to secure first place, although it won't be all plain sailing. They have not been spectacular but as the most experienced nation in this group, they will immediately have the psychological advantage. Battle for Second Australia, Ghana and Serbia are all capable of snapping up the coveted second spot. The former two progressed to the knockout round of the 2006 World Cup, in Germany no less, but the Serbians were one of UEFA's surprise packages in the qualifiers. If they can carry their momentum to next summer, they could be a real threat. The Outsiders With all four teams having equal chances of progressing, the two teams who lose their opening game, should they lose, will quickly become the outsiders. Australia have a daunting showdown against the Germans, but Ghana and Serbia will be looking to put one over the other to make a bright start to the tournament. The Long Road Forward The group winners will face the runners up in Group C, which comprises England, USA, Algeria. But a meeting with Argentina could be on the horizon in the Q-finals. The runners-up, curiuosly enough, could have an easier fixture in the last 16, with France, South Africa, Mexico, Uruguay (from Group A) and Argentina, Nigeria, Korea Republic or Greece (from Group B) the potential rivals.

Can Ribery Purchased Summer 2010

Frank Ribery took off so it is difficult to Bayern Munich. But since not want to lose players for nothing, FC Hollywood will probably dump the midfielder in the summer of 2010. Ribery is still bound by contract with Bayern until 2011. But for players with high skills like Ribery, the duration is clearly making the Bavarian not feel safe. The agreement to hold the quarterback more time at Allianz Arena is not offered. But with the issue of Real Madrid interested in him, the French footballer reject contract proposal submitted club. If these conditions hold, then forced off Ribery Bayern in the summer of 2010. Was done so that they can still make money because after the former Marseille and Galatasaray players could leave the status of free transfers. "Frank's contract only until 2011. We must be realistic, if we failed to renew his contract until the summer, so we chose the money 50 or 60 million euros because we could not let it go free in the next year," said President Bayern, Uli Hoeness, in USA. This is obviously a good news for Madrid which has since last summer expressed interest. But Los Merengues may not be easy to get Ribery for Chelsea also will hire 26-year football player. "There are some who claim to be interested. Real Madrid and Chelsea wanted a high price. But our club is not in financial trouble and we also feel more profitable than the sport if he survived. Ribery is one of the best in the world," added Hoeness half wish.

World Cup 2010: Group B Analysis - Argentina, South Korea, Nigeria, Greece

Group Strength Compared to the other seven groups in the first round, Group B can be considered as somewhere in the middle in terms of quality. With the exception of Argentina there are no big-hitters in the pool, but there are also no easy-pickings as all four teams are capable of beating one another on their day. Group Favourites Argentina are certainly favourites to win their group, as they contain a host of world class talent from Lionel Messi and Sergio Aguero to Javier Mascherano and Esteban Cambiasso. But their shaky qualifying campaign as well as their unpredictable coach Diego Maradona means that there are no guarantees on how the South Americans will perform. Battle for Second All four teams could realistically finish in fourth place. The most likely battle will be between Nigeria and Greece, but South Korea also have a great chance of qualifying for the second round. These three teams also have very contrasting styles, which should make the clashes between them interesting. The Outsiders South Korea are the outsiders in the pool, but their recent performances in the World Cup will give them strength - they reached the semi finals in 2002 and also drew with France four years ago. Park Ji Sung and the European contingent will need to lead by example. The Long Road Forward Group B is on the weaker side of the draw, meaning that none of its occupants can meet big guns Brazil, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Holland or the Ivory Coast until the semi finals. The winners and runners up of Group B will play the runners up and winners of Group A respectively in the second round. This leaves open the possibility of Argentina vs France. In the quarter finals, England and Germany are likely opponents, before the aforementioned giants from the other side enter the fray in the semi finals.

World Cup 2010: Group A Analysis - South Africa, Mexico, Uruguay & France

Group Strength A tricky section, no doubt, and one which will have the hosts crying into their vuvuzelas. By no means a dream draw for Bafana Bafana with some prized talent set to line up against them at every turn. France, facing South Africa as they did in 1998 and Uruguay as they did in 2002, could have done a lot worse though and with some menacing firepower will be expecting to reel off some hefty tallies, should they function as a unit. Mexico could only trail USA in the CONCACAF hexagon but boast pedigree at this level. El Tri have moved on from their last five consecutive World Cup group stages. The Uruguayan side showed a dramatic fluctuation in form throughout the South American qualifiers but on their day, possess a starting XI to rival some of the very best. Group Favourites After edging their way to the finals by the skin of their... hands, Raymond Domenech's side had the temerity to complain about being handed a non-seed berth. How reticent might Les Bleus be now that they've avoided some of the major guns. Alongside this opposition, the French will justifiably been seen as top dogs in the section but will have to shake off their underperforming status to record the maximum points haul. Anything less than a win against Uruguay could have French nerves jangling ahead of the Mexico clash. Battle for Second Wide open. A host nation effectively play with a 12th man and the Mexicans will be faced with some hefty vuvuzelaing on matchday one in Soccer City. Should three points go the way of Bafana Bafana then they remain in with a modicum of a shout ahead of the Uruguayan showdown on matchday two. That said, Mexico, more often than not, find a way out of their pool and will be aiming as much for the top spot as for the runners-up berth. Oscar Tabarez's Uruguay were the last team to qualify but in Luis Suarez, Diego Forlan and the precocious Nicolas Lodeiro, la Celeste have the weaponry to score in abundance. Mexico versus Uruguay on June 22 has the potential to be explosive. El Tri coach, Javier Aguirre, will be hoping his former Atletico Madrid charge, Forlan, has one of his Manchester United performances. The Outsiders I'll whisper it for fear of 1,000 parties being cancelled, but South Africa are likely to finish up with the wooden spoon. Joel Santana failed to turn his eye-pleasing unit into a scoring unit during the past year and has been jettisoned in favour of his predecessor, Carlos Alberto Parreira. Scoring remains the one true problem for Bafana Bafana; the likes of McCarthy, Erasmus and Parker are not garnering enough game time at club level to be considered golden-boot winners in waiting. To go through, goals will be needed and that is one key element lacking in the hosts. The Long Road Forward Should Argentina finish top of Group B then the runners-up of this section would meet Maradona's rag-tag bunch in the round of 16. Uruguay would no doubt relish vengeance after being downed in Montevideo with an automatic berth up for grabs. France may go on to meet Nigeria, who defeated Les Bleus in a friendly last summer. Nonetheless, Group B looks like a potential Group of Death, with any one of the Super Eagles South Korea and Greece potentially making the second stage, and Argentina are by no means a shoo-in, given the tactical ineptitude of el Diego.

Drawing World Cup 2010

The big story from this evening's 2010 World Cup draw in Cape Town came from Group G where Brazil, Ivory Coast, and Portugal were positioned together along with North Korea in the 'Group of Death'. Hosts South Africa had a tough draw in Group A along with Mexico, Uruguay and France. Holders Italy will have to make their way past Paraguay, New Zealand and Slovakia as they attempt to retain the trophy they won in Germany in 2006. The opening game of the tournament will see South Africa play Mexico in Johannesburg on 11 June. South African actress Charlize Theron, England international David Beckham, Ethiopian athletics legend Haile Gebrselassie, South African cricket pioneer Makhaya Ntini, Springbok rugby player John Smit, and Bafana defender Matthew Booth helped conduct the draw at the Cape Town International Convention Centre in front of a crowd of luminaries including Franz Beckenbauer, Eusebio, and Desmond Tutu. Geographical criteria meant that no two teams from the same confederation could be drawn in the same group, with the exception of European teams where a maximum of two were permitted. All eight groups in full: Group A South Africa Mexico Uruguay France Group B Argentina Nigeria South Korea Greece Group C England USA Algeria Slovenia Group D Germany Australia Serbia Ghana Group E Netherlands Denmark Japan Cameroon Group F Italy Paraguay New Zealand Slovakia Group G Brazil North Korea Cote d'Ivoire Portugal Group H Spain Switzerland Honduras Chile Now that the groups are drawn, the path to the semi-final is known, for the winners of Group A face the runners up of Group B, and the winners of Group G face the runners up on Group H, and so on, with A-D and E-H forming two sides of a bracket. There is a distinct possibility that favourites Brazil could meet second favourites Spain in the second round. With Portugal and Ivory Coast also in Group G, it is guaranteed that at least two big guns will be eliminated before the quarter final out of these four teams.

Who's World Player of the FIFA 2009 ?

Is Lionel Messi bought up all the awards this year? The awarding of the best players FIFA 2009 will be held in the near future. Of the five nominees name, all have a chance. Five names were nominated, among others, Cristiano Ronaldo, Ricardo Kaka, Xavi Hernandez, Andres Iniesta and Lionel Messi. Not without reason if the five players nominated list. What is his fifth year suguhkan during 2009 was somewhat unusual. Even for the three last names, Xavi, Iniesta and Messi, it seems worthy of special credit. But objectively, we see the first achievement of the player per player. From Ricardo Kaka. In 2009, he spent his time at two different clubs, AC Milan and Real Madrid. At the same time span, he divided his energy to the Brazilian national team. Together with the club, not Kaka moncer career like two years ago. While at AC Milan, he could only be memawa club's third resident at the end of the Serie A season. While with Real Madrid, overall performance has not proven accomplishments. However, with the Brazilian national team, he has a vital role. He became a motor Samba attack each competed in international events. The result, Brazil qualified for the World Cup finals in 2010. Brazil also won a third title in the Confederations Cup in 2009. Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo, has a very important role at the club level, as with Manchester United. English title of the Premier League that United won last season, and the success of 'Red Devils' party into the Champions League final, was not free from interference in the field. Contribution goal for United was also high, which makes it as topskor last season. But with the national team of Portugal, Cristiano Ronaldo contributions fairly minimal. Even when Portugal into the World Cup finals in 2010 via the playoffs, Ronaldo does not contribute at all on the field because of injury. What about Xavi Hernandez? Difficult to release this player with the success of Barcelona and the Spanish national team in 2009. Yes, Xavi is the motor a reliable attack in midfield, both from the individual skills, adjust the tempo of the game, his ability to send feedback, or even break the deadlock. In short, this player is the lifeblood of the team that defended, such as Barcelona won five prestigious title in 2009, and Spain that entered the World Cup finals in 2010 with an elegant way. Andres Iniesta is also a special role with Barcelona. Function in a slightly different team with Xavi, Iniesta where more concentration on destroying enemy from midfield through the agile movements. Iniesta also has the advantage of sending feedback and scoring. He also has a high determination. While Lionel Messi is still a strong candidate winning the World Player of the Year award 2009 version of FIFA, after previously been named European Player of the Year by France Football magazine. Contribution to Barcelona was wonderful. He became the top scorer in the Champions League, and entered in the list of El Pichichi Spanish La Liga Primera, though finally defeated by Diego Forlan. However, its contribution with Argentina national team is not so obvious. Many who value the ability Messi of Barcelona is not visible when the care team with Diego Maradona. This can be prevented to marry two prestigious awards for the category this individual. Then, who will be selected as the FIFA best player 2009? The answer will be known in a few days, or rather on December 21, in which FIFA will announce it in Zurich.

Ronaldinho Has Been The "Back"

Ronaldinho resurrection is inseparable from the trust of the coach and president of the club against him. After experiencing difficulties in the early season with AC Milan, Ronaldinho finally returned to the top performance. He was born again. Brazilian star reveals the secret of his resurrection. "Coach gave me confidence. Also, I play like I used to do in Barcelona," Ronaldinho said. "Fans and the team supported me fully. This is what makes things easier. This is the perfect moment for me.

All The Efforts Deployed, Barcelona World Champion!

Barcelona managed to complete the triumph of 2009 with all the Club World title. Estudiantes de La Plata 2-1 bent through an extension. Barcelona took all the energy and ability to pluck a dramatic 2-1 victory over Estudiantes de La Plata in the Club World Cup final in Abu Dhabi, Saturday (19/12) night. The success that makes Barcelona the sixth success throughout 2009 after successfully won the Copa del Rey, Spanish Primera Liga, Champions League, Spanish Super Cup and European Super Cup. Shown without Andres Iniesta, Pep Guardiola looks troops lack creativity in midfield. Guardiola chose quarterback duo Sergio Busquets and Seydou Keita to assist Xavi Hernandez in midfield and Thierry Henry as a complementary trident attack. On the other hand, according to coach wants Alejandro Sabella, Estudiantes appeared focused and solid. Estudiantes was not in a hurry to build attacks and selecting master field inch by inch. After a half hour match minimal opportunity, Estudiantes surprising Barcelona. 37 minutes, Juan Diaz shot a welcome feedback stomach with a header from Mauro Boselli accurate. Victor Valdes could not prevent the ball nestled in the net. Estudiantes had one goal lead. After a pause, Guardiola injected by replacing Keita aggressiveness and played Pedro Rodriguez. However, Estudiantes defense is still difficult to penetrate. Not much space available for free to Barcelona players fired shots into the goalkeeper Damian Albil. Ibrahimovic was played under the best appearance. Two opportunities to obtain this lanky striker failed to bear fruit balancing goals. First, early second round, despite Ibra in the penalty box. But, the kick from the left lateral sector of the goal Albil thin. Second, 79 minutes, although free-standing welcomes feedback Xavi, Ibra header aimlessly. When Guardiola Jeffren Suarez entered to fill the position of Henry, the concentration Estudiantes began to disintegrate. Entering the final minutes of the game, Gerard Pique in defense spending opponents. The initiative was successful as berjibaku Pique welcomed a ball up, Pedro sundulannya connected with another header from a pass Albil range. 1-1 and the match score back to life! Barcelona confirmed the victory in the first half of extra time, in 110 minutes.
