When looking out at the field you are going to notice that there are four sets of colors and the one that will stand out will be the soccer goalie jersey. The reason for this is because this particular jersey is supposed to stand out for the referee to be able to distinguish them from the other players. This helps to be able to keep the scoring accurate as to which side actually made a point and there is less confusion for the refs to be able to keep score of the game and keep penalties to a minimum.Although there are choices of the colors that the goalies can choose from for the team, they are limited to the ones that they can pick from. The colors started way back in 1909 and they were able to pick from scarlet and royal blue. Of course, as time went on, it was decided that the color green should be added to the choices to choose from in 1912. Having the option of being able to pick the color that the soccer goalie jersey is going to be, it also gives the team the opportunity to be able to find the color that would best go with the color of the jerseys for the rest of the team.Although it can get cold when the teams are playing, you will generally see that the...more

Right now if you were to engage in a conversation about soccer world cup winners the first thing that is going to be on everyone's mind is how Spain is the current champion over Holland. They are going to talk about how they went into overtime and won a blazing victory of 1-0. Although it was a very sad loss for Holland you will find that it was definitely a sweet sounding victory for Spain. It was a fight to the end and the game at times seemed to get a little dirty.But when you look back at some of the other winners in the past you will find that some of those teams fought just as hard and are able to say that they are the soccer world cup winners more than just once. Take for example Brazil and the fact that they actually won a total of five times. That is saying quite a bit and the fact that they managed to stay in the group stages 18 times. This is a team that is managed to be reckoned with and the last win was in 2002.But let us take a look at the team that won the cup 4 times and the last win was in 2006.
