Soccer Song - My Favorite Soccer Song

Soccer song is a song which is basically composed for a particular soccer association. It is common to hear the crowd of fans singing songs or chants during the games. These songs are usually pop or rap and used for special team or event. Chants are also another type of song usually sung by fans or cheering squad during competitions in order to encourage their home team.

These songs are mostly based on hymns or famous pop songs. In some instances, these songs are sung by supporters aimed at the opposing team who are not playing very well or to a specific player who is not well known and also to the referee mostly when there is an unfavorable decision.

There are also songs exclusively for official cup tournaments for instance FA Cup, Football League Cup. The most popular song which is used for these matches is by the tune of the song popularized by Queen titled We Are the Champions.

Some teams have traditional songs which are known by majority of their fans such as West Ham United's I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles and the Leeds United's Marching on Together.

Some of these clubs have songs which are only known to small groups of fans. However, some of the most popular songs are so famous that most of the crowd knows how to sing it. These songs are sometimes played over loudspeakers.

These soccer songs add up some spice to the game and allow active participation from the crowd. These songs serve as a means to show the support of the fans to their favorite teams.

The Benefits of Physical Conditioning For Your Soccer Performance

Soccer is a very physically demanding sport. In a game a player on average runs five constant miles. A soccer player also has tremendous amounts of stress on their hips, abdomens, thighs, calves, shins, ankles, toes, chests, and everywhere a soccer ball touches. In order to be ready for all of this physical activity a player must condition in the off season.

1. Run.
   1. A soccer player must run daily for long distances in the off season to keep in shape. Not only will the player have great stamina but the player will have that crucial first step in over time.
   2. Not only is a player responsible for long distance running but also short distance running. A player's fast twitch muscles are a valuable must have in a soccer game. If a player had slow fast twitch muscles they would be beaten every time. Grab a jump rope, sprint with a speed chute, or do daily plyometric workouts to keep the edge.
2. Strength.
   1. Being able to pound a sixty mile an hour soccer ball at the goalie consistently takes strength and stamina. Not only do soccer players need good leg strength, but even greater strength stamina. Shoot soccer balls daily, run with ankle weights, shoot with ankle weights, lunges, and do anything that helps with leg strength.
   2. Strong ball kicking abilities do not only come from the legs. A player's hips, back, and abdomens, are just as important. When kicking a ball almost all of a player's momentum and strength comes from twisting the hips. If a player has weak abdomens than they probably have weak hips.
3. Extra Step.
   1. Like stated before a player must have supreme stamina to have the edge. But what most athletes do not realize is the importance of an extra half step in over time. This step may seem useless, but when a player has an edge-greatness follows.
