Inside The Game

Relegation can be one of the toughest things for a club and its fans to deal with.

Everyone wants to see their team do well, and when a team is relegated it can be a bitter pill to swallow.

While its definitely not the end of the world, as teams being able to bounce from it is more than doable.

There are a few things that happen when a football team does get relegated, that isn’t great.

So in this post, I will talk to you about what relegation is and what happens when a football team is relegated.

…

For a football fan, there aren’t too many words worse than, ‘its going to a penalty shootout’.

What is one of the most brutal ways to decide a game of football, can literally be the difference between a team winning and losing a cup.

However, while kicking penalties down the local park with a few mates can be fun.

No one wants to be involved in a penalty shootout, due to the nerves and pressure that it causes.

Now if you have been following football, and have noticed a game going to a penalty shootout.

You may be wondering what it is, how it works as well as questions like why are they tied.

So in this post, I will explain each of these and hopefully give you the answers you are looking for.

When footballers walk onto the pitch, they know for the next 45 minutes not only will they be playing non-stop football.

But also for those playing high up professionally that there will be many eyes on them.

From either fans or those watching on TV, if it is being broadcasted.

So because of this, the last thing a player will want is to badly need the toilet.

I am sure we have all been in a position where you can’t go toilet.

Maybe because you’re out and about, and you’re not near one.

However, what happens if footballers need the toilet?

Surely they won’t go on the pitch.

Well, in this post, I will be covering how they tackle this and what a player will do in this scenario.

There seems to be a lot of debate in soccer on what is a goal and what isn’t.

You will have games, where a ball is almost over the line, however, the goal isn’t given.

Why exactly is this and is there a rule in place?

Does the whole ball have to cross the line for a goal or just a fraction of it?

It is completely normal as a soccer fan, to have so many questions on this topic.

So in this post, I will be telling you what exactly constitutes a goal.

When you watch a game of football you will notice how most players have top of the range cleats.

Like with myself at first, it may have you wondering whether do soccer players change their boots every game?

Or do they simply buy one pair and make them last for weeks, months or even a whole season.

Now while soccer players definitely have that luxury of buying what they need and having whatever supplied to them in a blink of an eye.

You would be surprised to find out what really happens to soccer players boots after games and what some of the top pros do with them.

So in this post, I will be going over exactly this, giving you an idea of how many pairs a footballer will go through.
