It was disputed the minute 67 and the extreme left received the ball anchored to the band in midfield. With their four-player fireworks speed feature that tried to slow it down as best they could, a fruit and vegetable harvest farm rose, even Gerard Piqué praised the goal.
Internationally, in the U-17 World Cup in 2010, Japan's Yumi Yokoyama, against Korea, went from up to six opponents until she got one of the most beautiful and difficult goals.
He took the ball in the center circle, ran the field alone as it opened to the left, entered the area and escorando beat Hope Solo with shooting and crossed.
The Frenchwoman is nominated for the best goal of the year and it remains to be seen whether she will ultimately take the award by taking away favorite Messi and Gonzalo Higuain, her two competitors.
The goal stood out not for the quality but to take place in a throw of indirect lack between three players, one did not finish spear, another touched the ball and the third one that was of back, fired after turning around and she make an amazing goal.
Football is one of the most popular sports in the whole world. We know how enthralled the whole world is when the Football World Cup starts. But then what is soccer? Many say that both words refer to the same game, while some say that both are different games. The truth is that both the games are different while having some similarities.
Football is actually the common name of all those sport which involve the use of the foot and ball to score goals. This term can be applied to any form of football. Some of the different types of football games are association football, gridiron football, Australian football, rugby, and Gaelic football. The game association football is what is commonly known as soccer.
Usually in football, there are two teams of 11 to 18 players, who play within a specified area. To score points, each team has to move the ball over to the opponent team’s field end, either over a specific line or in to a goal area. In soccer, similar to most of the football games, it is played on a field with two teams. The ball has to be moved into the opponent team’s goal area by kicking it. Sometimes, in a game, the use of torso or head to move the ball is used. In this game, only the goalkeepers have the right to use the hands and arm to stop the ball.
For each game there is a certain conduct in which the ball is to be moved. It can be by carrying, kicking, using the whole body, or passing the ball. Soccer uses the method of kicking the ball into the goal area. It is not allowed in the game for the players to use their hands to move the ball.
The scoring nature of the different games in football is common. The team which scores the maximum goals at the end of a match is declared the winner. And if there is a tie, penalty shootouts can be given to the teams or declare the game a draw.
The shape of the ball also differs in the games. In soccer, the ball used is a sphere. This kind of ball is used in Gaelic football also. In other football games like rugby and American football, the ball has more rounded ends. The ball for Canadian and American Football has two pointed ends.
In the United Kingdom, the terms football and soccer refer to the same thing while in United States, soccer and football are two different games. The football there is more like the rugby and the players wear the armor to protect themselves from getting hurt. And in soccer, the teams use the feet to kick the ball around, and do not wear any armors.
SUMMARY:
1. Football is the term used for many common games under the umbrella, while soccer is just one among them.
2. In different football games, the players can use the hands, feet, or whole body to move the ball, while in soccer only the feet can be used.
3. Soccer uses sphere balls, while other football games used rounded or pointed balls depending on the format of the game.
Women's football is far from being a current trend but its practice goes back to the 19th century: Glasgow, Scotland, welcomed what is considered the first game of modern football between women, between two local clubs, in 1892.
Two years later, in 1894, women's rights activist Nettie Honeyball pushed for the creation of a club, the British Ladies Football Club, as a symbol of the fight against the exclusion of women from a sport that had been seen only as men.
In World War I and World War II there was a qualitative and quantitative leap forward in women's football. The absence of the displaced men in the front helped to a greater presence of the woman in the society and also in the more ludic aspects.
From the British Isles, women's football was spreading throughout the world, first of the hand of the emigration and soon thanks to the masculine soccer, that helped to popularize the sport worldwide.
In 1970 an international tournament took place, an unofficial World Cup, disputed in Italy and with Denmark like champion.
Mexico hosted in 1971 another similar competition, won by the local players, but the tournament did not have continuity. The momentum of Brazil's Joao Havelange, then president of FIFA, was decisive for the 1991 World Cup, already official, held every 4 years and in China as the first venue. Since then they have played six World Cups, with Germany and United States leading the list, with two titles each, and Norway and Japan with one.
The trend towards professionalism was driven by the creation of important national championships in countries such as the United States, Japan, Sweden or Germany, and the emergence of stars such as the American Mia Hamm, the Chinese Sun Wen, the German Birgit Prinz or the Brazilian Marta . The latter has been the winner of the award five consecutive years (2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010).
The International Olympic Committee included women's football in its program at the Atlanta-1996 Games and FIFA instigated a prize, equivalent to the FIFA World Player's men's title since 1991.
Spain also has important clubs and selections and some international stars. Until October 1980 was not recognized by the Federation and the first unofficial championship, the Queen Sofia Cup, now Queen's Cup started in 1982. The League began in the 1988/89 season.
Spanish footballer Veronica Boquete, currently the Tyreso FF player in the Swedish women's league, was named the best player in the North American football league in 2012 and is considered one of the great referents in the national women's category,
The front of the Tyreso FF militated in Espanyol between 2008 and 2011, in the American League played in Buffalo Flash and Chicago Red Stars in 2010. After returning to Barcelona, returned to contest the final of the "Women's Proffesional Soccer" In U.S.A. With the Philadelphia Independence jersey. From there he left for Russia, where he militated in the Energy Voronezh before to settle in Sweden.
The growth in women's football has seen major competitions being launched at both the national and international levels.
UEFA Women's Championship
Unofficial women's European tournaments for national teams were held in Italy in 1969 and 1979 and won by Italy and Denmark, but there was no formal international tournament until 1982 when the first UEFA European Competition For Representative Women's Teams was launched. The 1984 Finals was won by Sweden. This competition name was succeeded by the UEFA Women's Championship and today, is commonly referred to as the Women's Euro. Norway won, in the 1987 Finals. Since then, the UEFA Women's Championship has been dominated by Germany, which has won eight out of nine events, interrupted only by Norway in 1993. Germany's 2013 win was their sixth in a row.
Women's World Cup

Prior to the 1991 establishment of the FIFA Women's World Cup, several unofficial world tournaments took place in the 1970s and 1980s, including the FIFA's Women's Invitation Tournament 1988, which was hosted in China.
The first Women's World Cup was held in the People's Republic of China, in November 1991, and was won by the United States. The third Cup, held in the United States in June and July 1999, drew worldwide television interest and a final in front of a record-setting 90,000+ Pasadena crowd, where the United States won 5–4 on penalty kicks against China.
Women's Libertadores Cup
The Women's Libertadores Cup is the international women's football club competition for teams that play in CONMEBOL nations. The competition started in the 2009 season in response to the increased interest in women's football. It is the only CONMEBOL club competition for women, and it is sometimes called the Copa Libertadores Femenina.
Olympics
Since 1996, a Women's Football Tournament has been staged at the Olympic Games. Unlike in the men's Olympic Football tournament (based on teams of mostly under-23 players), the Olympic women's teams do not have restrictions due to professionalism or age.
England and other British Home Nations are not eligible to compete as separate entities because the International Olympic Committee does not recognise their FIFA status as separate teams in competitions. The participation of UK men's and women's sides at the 2012 Olympic tournament was a bone of contention between the four national associations in the UK from 2005, when the Games were awarded to London, to 2009. England was strongly in favour of unified UK teams, while Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland were opposed, fearing adverse consequences for the independent status of the Home Nations within FIFA. At one stage it was reported that England alone would field teams under the UK banner (officially "Great Britain") for the 2012 Games. However, both the men's and women's Great Britain teams eventually fielded some players from the other home nations. (See Football at the 2012 Summer Olympics – Women's tournament)
Football Association Women’s Challenge Cup (FA Women's Cup)
After the lifting of the F.A. ban, the now defunct Women's Football Association held its first national knockout cup in 1970–71. It was called the Mitre Trophy which became the FA Women's Cup in 1993. Southampton WFC was the inaugural winner. From 1983 to 1994 Doncaster Belles reached ten out of 11 finals, winning six of them. Chelsea are the current holders and the most successful club with a record 13 wins. Despite tournament sponsorship by major companies, entering the cup actually costs clubs more than they get in prize money. In 2015 it was reported that even if Notts County had won the tournament outright the paltry £8,600 winnings would leave them out of pocket. The winners of the men's FA Cup in the same year received £1.8 million, with teams not even reaching the first round proper getting more than the women's winners.
