nullnullnullUnit One Modern Soccer Ⅰ General Characteristics: The modern game of soccer started with the foundation of the Football Association of England in 1863. And in 1904, the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) was founded, becoming soccer’s worldwide administrative body.  nullSoccer was the first team sport added to the Olympics. Great Britain dominated the early tournaments, winning three of the first four. Although the sport made its medal debut in 1900, it was not until 1908 that the tournament attracted reasonable international representation. And the first World Cup was finally held in 1930, coming two years after the 1928’s Olympics. The host Uruguayans became the first World Cup champions.   nullAfter a brief look-over of its history, lets’ talk kicking, shall we? Kicking the ball, we are pleased to discover, is an important part of soccer. The basic soccer kick is made with the foot turned sideways, using the instep rather than the toe. The technique assures greater accuracy because more of the foot is in contact with the ball. The best kickers can make the ball travel more than 70 miles per hour. Lateral passing, or flick passing, can be accomplished by kicking the ball with the outside of the foot.  nullAs you know, games are divided into 45-miniute halves. While goals are few and far between, scoring opportunities are frequent. Tempo is one of the keys to watch — which team is completing more passes? Who is getting off the most shots on goal? which side is controlling the ball at midfield with the most consistency.   nullBall control is a fundamental part of soccer. In addition to the feet, soccer players use their heads and chests for passing and controlling the ball. A popular strategy during corner kicks is for one or more players to hang in front of the net hoping to get a piece of the ball with his head and jam it past goalie.  nullRomanians take to the streets in their millions Bucharest, Reuters Romania’s 3-2 win over England at Euro 2000 brought about a quarter of the country’s 22 million population onto the streets to celebrate, police estimated. Festivities went on into the early hours but passed off largely without incident. null"All of Romania’s 300 small and medium-sized towns had at least 10,000 people on the streets," Police Colonel Haralambie Neda said. Half a million massed in the central Bucharest, but only three arrests were made. "We are the best, we are the champions," the crowd shouted. nullFans streamed out of Bucharest bars and homes with bottles of alcohol in their hands and headed for the University Square, waving tricolour flags and shouting "victory, victory". Police cars, which started cruising Bucharest with lights flashing as soon as the final whistle was blown, were unable to get through the human sea which filled the city’s main avenues.   null"It’s total madness, but so far we are able to keep it under control," a police officer said as a young man draped a police armoured car with a Romanian flag. Spraying champagne, young men ripped off their shirts and danced on car roofs. Garbage can lids, blaring horns and whistles filled the city with noise. nullWords and Expressions 1. tricolour: n. having three different colors. eg. Flags of tricolors 2. spray: v. extend the liquid drops through air eg. She sprayed the deodorant under her arm 3. armoured: adj. covered with armor nullAs a player moves up the field with the ball, he often resorts to dribbling. Dribbling is accomplished via a series of short kicks as the player alternately hits the ball with first one instep and then the other. Attackers take much of their running diagonally across the field, rather than straight down, since this creates more problems for the defense.    nullEach team fields 11 players. Of these 11, only the goalie is allowed to use his hands during play, and only when he occupies his penalty area. When in possession of the ball, the goalie is allowed four steps before he must get rid of it. nullThe nine serious fouls in soccer include dangerous charging from behind, holding, striking, pushing, tripping, kicking or jumping at an opponent, and handling the ball (for a foul to be called, the handling must be judged by the referee or lineman to be intentional) These offenses will result in a direct free kick against the guilty team, or a penalty kick if the foul occurred in the penalty area. During a penalty kick, the ball is placed 12 yards from the goal, and the player taking the kick has only the goalkeeper to beat. The goalie must stand on his goal line and is not allowed to move his feet until the ball is kicked.   nullCosta Rica step into the next round San Jose, Costa Rica Costa Rica blew a late two-goal lead, but a 90th-minute score by striker Paulo Wanchope saved the home team, 3-2 against Guatemala in a World Cup qualification Wednesday. Carlos Hernandez scored in the 34th minute and when Ronald Gomez made it 2-0 in the 66th, Costa Rica appeared headed for an easy victorynull. But Edwin Villatoro cut the lead in the 75th minute and Mario Ramirez stunned the crowd at Ricardo Saprissa Stadium by tying it two minutes later. Costa Rica spent much of the night pressing on offense and the strategy paid off when a give-and-go between Gomez and Wanchope ended in a penalty kick. Hernandez easily converted for a 1-0 advantage.nullMore crisp passing helped Gomez get open in the 66th minute to stretch the advantage to two goals That's the way things stood until the 75th minute, when Villatoro pounced on a loose ball deep inside the Costa Rican zone and fired from close range past goalkeeper Alvaro Mesen. Just two minutes later, Ramirez found a window of daylight ahead of advancing defenders and got the angle he needed to make it 2-2.  nullJust before injury time, Wanchope made the winner look routine, taking a pass off a set offense and drilling the shot. With the win, Costa Rica (2-2-1) took sole possession of third place in the region with seven points, behind Mexico with 13 and the United States.   nullWords and expressions: 1. stun: v. cause loss of strength or consciousness a fall or a blow or other violence. eg.

Shortly after midnight, only about 50 England fans remained in the city square, bemoaning a sorry England performance against the Romanians.
