I’m very keen in freestyle football since last year, 2006. So I watched a few video clips on the internet to learn a few tricks. I thought I’d give it a go on this DVD and see how it can improve my freestyle soccer tricks. Here’s the review:

There are several features on this DVD and all are guided by Billy himself.

First Part
Recommends proper equipment like the outfit, shorts, shoes and a soccer ball for freestyle soccer.Teaches some basic warm-ups like stretching knees and calfs before you start practicing freestyle soccer. Then some basic juggling soccer skills and simple stalls on each part from foot to head.

Second Part
You’ll learn some intermediate skills like Guardiolas. You’ll also learn on combining previous skills that you’ve learned to form a simple combination. There are 3 combinations showed in this DVD varying in difficulty levels.

Third Part
In this section, you’ll learn on how to apply certain tricks in the soccer field. Billy will show you on a futsal turf on how to do soccer tricks like Penalty X, Cyclone and many more.

In between the 3 parts of this DVD will show Billy Wingrove’s background, his favourite Premiership team, his career and where he started playing freestyle soccer.

My Recommendation
After watching this DVD for several times, I found that the DVD is useful for newbies in freestyle soccer. If you’re unfamiliar to basic soccer skills, then this is the DVD for you because Billy will show step-by-step with slow motion in each soccer trick. But for those who are intermediates and advance freestylers may get disappointed because the lack of cool, hard-to-do tricks.

Overall the DVD has an excellent replay value and it’s worth investing to start your freestyle soccer adventure.

It is customary to give gifts that a person will really enjoy. Thus, sports fan memorabilia and other sports related gifts can be the perfect gifts to give that die hard football fan in your life. It is not out of the ordinary for some women to be sports fans as well. After all, football is a sport that millions of people all over the world like. Your special person may be one of millions, but that does not mean you cannot give them a one in a million gift. Avid fans will support their favorite team win or lose. They usually cheer them on and never miss a single game. Aside from giving a football fan tickets to the next big game, other sports fan items can also be great gifts for him or her. Those who want even more special gift ideas keep reading.

In sporting goods stores and online shops, you can easily get an idea as to what sports fan items are available. There are jackets, shirts, sweats, socks, bracelets and so on with the teams logo or name on them. It is even possible to customize these items and add the recipients name on any of them. That will make any item a more personalized sports fan memorabilia. To be different from the rest, you can always give them their own stadium. This stadium can be seen in popular online stores and selected sporting goods stores. It will even come with its own certificate of authenticity. Another must have will probably be signed memorabilia. You can always try to find ways to get passes to the locker room or the place they train. Every fan will love getting photos and autographs of their favorite players.

Thinking out of the box also helps. It might be a thoughtful idea to give a football fan that just got a new job something to display team pride in his new office. Just make sure to choose licensed products. There are too many fakes out there and your special football fan can spot the difference. These can also be perfect Christmas gifts this holiday season. Sports fans are rather easy to please because sports fan gear is not so difficult to find. You gift can still be unique through personalization. Prior to buying anything though, make sure that person does not have that item yet. Else, your gift wont be much of a surprise anymore.

Nearly named ‘Match Attack’ until the last moment these new cards were an instant success with UK collectors. In 2007 Topps wrestled the UK premier league rights for trading cards and stickers from Magic Box international who had been producing ‘Shoot out’ trading cards for the premier league. Topps signed a three year exclusivity deal with the Premier league for an undisclosed amount. A further three year extension deal was agreed in 2010 between topps and the FA.

A growing craze, in the first two seasons the brand scooped sales of an estimated 32.2 Million pounds. In 2009 WH Smith reported that sales had increased by over 70% since the initial launch of the product. Match Attax is now the leading product for ‘Topps’ worldwide and they have been quick to launch similar products in other areas or countries. The German Bundesliga Has it’s own Match Attax series and other sports such as ice hockey and wrestling now have an ‘Attax’ branded trading card.

The 2010 World cup two more massively popular ‘Match Attax’ series were produced, one for the UK market ‘Match Attax England’ and one for the rest of the world called ‘Match Attax World Stars’.
Tesco played a big part in the promotion of the ‘Match Attax England’ series. Tesco even had their own exclusive subset produced ‘Match Attax England Legends’ containing all the England World cup heros from the past.

Five years on and Match Attax Cards are still a school yard craze (although you will find them banned in my school playgrounds). The success of the brand is not just down to the ever popularity of Premier league football. Besides the addictive nature of assembling any collection there is also a really simple yet engaging two player game that can be played in minutes and almost anywhere. Kids can be quietened for hours with just a few 50p packs of the latest cards.

The internet has also played a massive part in the life of ‘Match Attax’. Over time Topps have developed a really engaging website to compliment the brand, recently introducing ‘Match Attax Live’ where fans can play the game online with other collectors.

Other web sites have popped up around the brand two. There are several ever popular forums which bustle with news of the latest rumours and info as well as the now famous footycards.com. Footycards can sell you any card or cards you need to finish off your collection eliminating the biggest problem with any trading card collection, swaps. Due to the fact you open a random selection of cards in any packet then towards the end of assembling any collection finding the exact cards you need can be an expensive and frustrating job. Footycards.com, who have been producing this service from the very start of ‘Match Attax’ has helped thousands of collectors to ‘Finish their book’ simply and easily.

Comfort Is Important
If your new football kit doesn’t fit properly and is either too tight or too baggy you just won’t feel comfortable, make sure you know what size you are before you purchase your new kit. You don’t want to have a skin tight football shirt that resembles spandex but you don’t want to look like you are wearing a dress down to your knees, it just isn’t cool!

Choose The Right Team Kit
Many football clubs and international teams now have up to 3 football kits to choose from, with new kits being released every season. This gives you great choice when selecting your new football shirt.

Set A Budget
Before purchasing your new football kit make sure you have set yourself a realistic budget. If you can only afford 40 try not to be tempted into purchasing a clubs a full football kit and maybe just stick to purchasing the new football shirt instead.

Where Its Going To Be Worn
Do you wear your football kit when playing football with mates down the park or wear your shirt casually around town or is it your ritual to wear your teams colours when going down to the pub? Knowing when you are most likely to wear your football kit will help your purchase the right football shirt for you and set the right budget!

Buying The Right Kit For Others
It can be hard purchasing a football shirt from clubs you not support, however if you are buying the new club strip for a close friend or a family member take our advice and make sure you buy the shirt from the team your friend actually supports! Don’t expect to remain on your die hard Arsenal mates Christmas card list if you purchase him the latest Spurs away shirt!

Plus if you are buying a new football shirt for a friend or a family member don’t be afraid to ask what size they are before buying.

What Name Tag?
The first question you should ask yourself is whether you want to get a player’s name, your name, a comical name or no name on the back of your shirt? If you want to personalise your football kit and get a name printed on the back choosing the right name is no easy task! Do you select your team’s star player or go for the underrated workmanlike player who often sheds blood and guts for your teams cause?

When choosing a player’s name on your kit, our advice would be to simply go for your favourite player, unless of course he has been linked or rumoured to leave your club in the near future!

After you have chosen what player name to have on your football kit you need to make sure you have opted for the correct shirt number. It is well worth double checking on your clubs official website what squad number that player has been allocated, as these can change each season.

If you decide to get your own name printed on the back of your football kit make sure you triple check that your name is spelt correctly before purchasing your kit. Having the name Jakc on your back may be hilarious for your mates, but it will severely lower your street cred!

If you decided to go for a comical name on the back of your football shirt, such as ‘Who 8 All the Pies?’ just make sure you are ready to take some banter from your fellow football fans and can take a joke.

Short or Long Sleeve?
Again wear the football shirt you feel most comfortable in. Wearing short sleeved football shirts is obviously great for the summer months, however when playing football in the bitter winter we highly recommend opting for the long sleeved shirts!

How To Look After Your Football Kit
You should try to wash your football kits ion cold water and if possible use your washing machines delicate setting. You should never use fabric softener when washing your football kit as it leaves them permanently wrinkled. Plus never dry your football kits in a dryer, they will last longer if put them on a washing line.

Avoid Eating Greasy Foods When Wearing Your Football Kit
Football kits are easily stained by greasy foods and it will be a real nightmare to remove the stains. So the next time you have ordered a Vindaloo or a Chinese takeaway make sure you are not wearing your favourite football kit as you may gain the unwanted addition of a grease stain beside your club crest!

Be Proud
Wearing your team’s football kit is an expression of the team you love; don’t be ashamed to wear your kit even if your team has just been thrashed 5-0 by your local rivals. When wearing your football shirt you are showing your true support to your team and you should never be ashamed to do so!
