FIFA TELLS TV CREWS. CONFISCATED THE CELL PHONE. THE MOST MEMORABLE MATCH THAT JOURNALISTS CHOOSE

In 2020, football activities were severely restricted due to corona disasters. It's hard to imagine that so many people involved in football have to spend their days without a game or practice, and they are at a loss for what to do. Soccer journalists who made their occupations of covering matches, players, and clubs and writing articles were no exception. At best, there were so many soccer journalists who had trouble hearing about football that would only be done online to interview players, staff, and associations, and that would be an article.

So we also asked our football journalists Steve Menary and James Montague to write about "the most memorable game ever.

the 11 football journalists selected are not inspiring or played by famous players. as the title is "away leg", it is only a game that I interviewed in the mood of complete away.

in other words, it is a related match, the game is held in a region where tension is fraught, and it is held in the background of deep political issues. menagerie and Montague are both journalists covering the relationship between politics and football, so many of the writers they spoke to had similar interests.

THEREFORE, THE STORY OF THE GAME DOES NOT COME OUT SO MUCH. HARRY PEARSON, WHO COVERED IRAN V USA AT THE 1998 WORLD CUP IN FRANCE, SAID, "TO BE HONEST, I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER WHO SCORED IN THAT GAME." INSTEAD, HE WAS IMPRESSED BY THE IRANIAN OPPOSITION GROUP, WHO DANCED BEHIND THE GOAL AND DANCED THROUGHOUT THE GAME, AND FIFA, WHO INSTRUCTED THE TV CREW NOT TO SEE IT FOR A SECOND.

Andrew Downey recalls the 2006 Copa Libertadores, corinthians v libel plate game, a pile of peanuts in front of him while lounging on the terrace with close friends after the game. a scene too contrasting to a violent, violent, and enthusiastic match engraved in his memory.

in the 2011 Olympic qualifiers against Palestine v Thailand, James Corbett sees a deep political and emotional confrontation with Israel behind the enthusiasm of Palestinian supporters who represented Palestine for the first time.

Erik Rosenstein, who was born and raised in the u.s. but had emotional ties to his parent's hometown of detail, covered the 2017 state cup quarterfinals between best Jerusalem and been who was also known as the Jerusalem derby.

Rosenstein is in a game against supported by right-wing Zionism groups, and a minority Arab team in Israel, in hatred of detail revealed by fans.

steve's memory impressed in 2017 Georgia when Lokomotiv Tbilisi vs Dinamo Tbilisi played badly. Lokomotiv, who pursued good old Georgia football in Georgia, the intersection of civilization, and Dinamo, who was strongly influenced by the soviet union, played outdated football, leaving him with only defeat, malaise, and disappointment. both clubs are now in decline.

what impressed James Montague was the 2017 Asian cup qualifiers against North Korea and Lebanon. Montague, who entered North Korea as a tourist and representative of Lebanon, was able to take a closer look around him thanks to his mobile phone and personal computer. however, it was still taught to the first experience of covering in the limit though being able to observe because the action was limited was only the spectacle of the town seen from the car window of the shuttle bus and the feast of the welcome.

it is a collection of essays that show what football journalists see, how they feel, and what they want to write. it will be a hint of how football journalism should be in the corona disaster.

forgotten in modern sports? what is the ingenuity of the "ancient" people that have been passed down since ancient times in japan ... [soccer book new book review: read as kicking

This is a great book that describes the relationship between ball and Japanese while going back to the ancient aristocracy in the distance. Kemari, uchimaku, keito, falconry, etc. Since the media that write this manuscript is specialized in soccer, he narrows down the topic to Kemari.

 Easy to watch anytime, anywhere. It is a general recognition that

Kemari is a noble sport.

Eight players were common, to increase the number of times by kicking the ball in turn with no bounds. There has been a "game game" which competes for the number of times by the team opposition for a long time, too. The ball is a right-footed rule (was there no lefty) and one person passes to the next player with multiple kicks and repeats. You don't have to kick before. If you can control it vertically, it is OK, and the technique is necessary when sending a mail to a person. Up to three times per person is the best. It kicks up straight up in the trap and the second time in the first time, and it is a composition of passing the third time. In, the total number of times is made to compete.

in 951, 11 skilled players were invited to the imperial court to hold a kemari tournament. coincidentally, "11 people"! they set a big record of 520 times. attempts to quantify performance pre-emirate western modern sports.

so, what kind of man was it? even if the aristocrats are skillful in "kicking" the Mari, if the ball is bad, the record does not go out. it might have already been made a goodman. yes, there was a profession called Chohan. the "inflating ball", which is finished in the hollow by stretching deer skin together, was the mainstream, and it was a show of many arms.

did kemari decline when the era changed to the age of the samurai? no that's not right. the samurai also kicked the ball. due to the downfall of the aristocracy, pursuing has shifted to "senior aristocracy", but the presence that attracts attention is going Joko. this person has a great technique. he likes kemari almost once every two days so much that he can hold a kemari tournament in the imperial court. a system called kemari-do was introduced. three families of the family named Asuka, Namba, and Miko left were born.

what impressed me when I read this book was that the field of kemari had been decided. the coat size is rough "Gojo 6 shaku to Hachiko 9 shaku" (16.9 to 26.9 meters). the ground was laid by mixing sand and soil, and the stones were carefully removed. the boundary line of the play area was planted with a "tree of concern". the branches were pruned, and the branches had human hands in them to make the game interesting, as the ball hit and bounced into various angles. I'm going to spare a lot of effort to make it interesting – I think Japanese people who are only doing modern sports have forgotten! it was impressed
