MONGOLIA FOOTBALL

       

It has been actually hard to play football in Mongolia partly because of a very cold weather almost all year round. The recent development of youth and children training programs in Mongolia stands as a base for future players of the Mongolia national team and domestic football clubs.

 There has been a mutual relationship between Mongolian Football Federation (MFF) and FIFA recently on the training of referees as well as team coaches.

The Mongolia government also has decided to build important infrastructures like football stadiums.

The Mongolia Football Federation was formed in the year 1959. The history of football in Mongolia is not good or known for the period of1960 till 1998 because there was not any international match from that country. Their first international match was against Japan. The match was played in Manchuria, where Mongolia suffered a defeat of 12-0. From 1930 till 1998 Mongolia did not participate in any world cup qualifier match. This makes it hard for the development of Mongolian football. From 1942 till 2005, the Mongolia national team has won only 3 matches out of 28 international matches, both friendly and official.




Although Mongolian football Federation was established in 1959, it took it 39 years to join FIFA and AFC as a member. In 2002 Mongolia joined the sub-regional association called EAFF( East Asian Football Federation). EAFF was also formed in the same year.

As at 2012, the total number of teams which participated in the Mongolia Premier League were 8. These were as follows: Khoromkhon, (Ulaanbaatar) Erchim, (Ulaanbaatar Power Plant IV), (Ulaanbaatar) Khangarid, (Erdenet) Ulaanbaatar University, (Ulaanbaatar) Selenge Press, (Ulaanbaatar) Ulaanbaataryn Mazaalaynuud, (Ulaanbaatar) FC Ulaanbaatar, (Ulaanbaatar) Khasiin Khulguud, (Bank team), (Ulaanbaatar)

BORRUSIA DORTMUND FC

This team has been doing well recently. It uses the biggest stadium of all in Germany. It has lifted up the UEFA champions league trophy once in its history since its establishment, and this happened in 1997.

In 1996 the European player of the year Matthias Sammer came from Borrusia Dortmund. In this season the team is in second position on the Bundesliga tables. This is not an easy task like counting one, two,three....as nursery kids.

Borussia Dortmund became winners of Bundesliga for 2011 and 2012 years. This was the wonderful performance for the club.
No wonder that the team's spirit is so high that it was able to thrash out Real Madrid last week on wednesday 24th April.

Mario Gotze has been said to shift at the end of the season to other German side Bayern Munich.
For sure It could be nice for Borussia Dortmund to sell this player to a team which not in Bundesliga because Bayern is their rivals.

The record which the club has is so wonderful. It has not been defeated in the champions league up to this moment. If records could always count, Real Mardrid is already out of the Champions league race. This is because the team motivation is so high after winning the Bundesliga for 2 consecutive seasons.

The hardest team to beat in the Bundesliga this season has been Schalke 04. Borussia Dortmund was beaten on both home and away matches by 2-1.

Borussia Dortmund has a total of eight matches with a draw result up to now. Of all these draw results, the one with highest number of score was the one against Eintracht Frankfurt. The result was a 3-3 draw.

Borussia’s success has been through a careful and wise investment on the young players like Mats Hummels, Kevin Grosskreutz, Shinji Kagawa and the midfielder Mario Götze. This young player machinery has been the soid foundation for the 2 titles which they won for the years 2011 and 2012. Nowadays Kagawa plays for Man United.

The defeat of 4-1 against Real should not surprise anyone on my views. This is because Dortmund has been giving even heavier doses to its opponents in the Bundesliga this season.
FC Furth was given a massive defeat of all to be offered by Dortmund so far. They suffered a 1-6 defeat. Imagine this was an away match. Real Madrid has to be watchful with this team. How did it manage to score such a high number of goals in an away game?

Freiburg FC got a very tough lesson after being defeated by 5-1.
Hannover FC suffered a 5-1 defeat last year. This is heavier than what happened to Real Madrid.

LEWANDOWSKI ROBERT- DORTMUND'S MACHINE GUN

10 great goals by Lewandowski 

Whether you like or not, R. Lewandowski is a wonderful striker. If it could be possible for people like him to be taken to school, I could propose this striker to take a special Pure Mathematics course. He scores his goals like a genius in the classroom environment. Real Mdrid was astonished by the way Borrussia Dortmund played as a team and used this useful machinery to come out with such excellent results. The world has continued to regard the spanish giants as the super teams ever assembled on the planet. But the opposite is true when we try to consider the 2 German sides after demolishing the 2 expensive squads from spain with  massive punishments. 

No one could believe that such miracles could happen. Bundesliga is superb-there is no doubt. The boys from Germany are so skillful. Let us expect the final of two Germany teams, because these 2 sides from Germany they don't care as to whether they are at home or they are away. They always play their game and that is just like that. Can the Spanish sides recover from their 1st leg defeats to go to the final? Let us wait for the reality on the pitch. 

Lewandowski 4 Real Madrid 0. No discussion. No comment.

Dear Real Madrid, buy this forward. You really need him.

Dictionary authors please include this name Lewandowski in your new vocabularies. If you score such wonderful goals against the richest club in the world , what do you expect? Bravo Lewandowaski. 

Dear top world recognized universities, offer this man a degree of creativity and high scoring capability. He has done something which is rare on the planet.

RIBERY'S GOAL BAYERN VS BIEFELD

Ribery's skillful Goal.

It requires confidence and experience to be able to perfectly finish such a goal. It is not easy to score from an impossible angle like the way Ribery did. You have to be skillful. The man is powerful on the pitch and so creative in general. He was there to help Bayern Munich demolish Juventus Turin on both legs of their way to the semi-finals. The Frenchman has a lot to deliver for his team and Les Blues as well.

FLUMINENSE FC

Fluminense is a very famous Football Club based in Brazil.

The first president of Fluminense FC was Oscar Cox. This man was actually the founder of the club in 1902. It is the first club in Brazil to build and own its own stadium.

Oscar Cox The Fluminense FC founder

The first Fluminense´s uniform was created after the rules´ approval in the Extraordinary General Meeting , which took place in 17th October of 1902.

Made of a white and grey shirt (halft each color), with a shield on the left side of the chest showing the letters FFC in red; white shorts, black socks and grey cap, the uniform was replaced by the tricolor shirt (carmine, white and green), nowadays uniform number 1, in June 15th 1904.

After signing up 27 players and going through 5 different managers in 2009, Fluminense found itself in a very hard time as they were struggling to avoid another relegation from Série A. This is the team which has tasted the negativities of employing many coaches in a very short time period. 

Because of the worse situation at Fluminense, the then Team Coach, Cuca, made a very tough and rare decision of not utilising experienced players to avoid relegation. Cuca decided to bring youg blood in the team and saved Fluminense from the catastrophe.

Cuca’s decision came out with good fruits because the team advanced  to the final of the Copa Sudamericana.
