Because this could be dangerous for the other players or for the player himself.\nIt is FIFA's 4th Law of The Game.

i agree with pancho. esp with a jersey #10 that's regarded as a 'magical' number, i don't think that ANY player would recklessly ask for it. they must know how well they stand in that team to actually wear it. they wouldn't want to embarass themselves if they don't live up to the standard of the #10. but it is an honor to don that jersey in a high profile team. past #10 includes Pele, Maradona, Puskas, Platini and current ones are Ronaldinho, and Zidane (though he's gonna retire but his jersey now IS #10). see the pattern there? wearing #10 is like being amongst the best of the best. so, maybe the management assigns who gets that jersey? that i'm not so sure, but what i know is that you have pretty big shoes to fill if you want to wear a #10 when the previous wearer in the team is super good (direct reference to Zizou).. that said, the rest is just random i guess.. after #10, most players would just ask for a number with personal connections, or a unique one that fans can easily relate them to. so it's usually #10 that has duplicate requests or #5 (i dunno i heard on tv that day that in Spanish football, #5 is considered magical as well - try looking up who are the previous #5s in Barca or Real).

The laws of the game require goalkeepers to wear colors that are different from the other players and the referees. This is so they are easily identifiable so that the referee does not call handball infractions on the goalkeeper by mistake.  It is a very easy mistake to make if the goalkeeper is not distinct from the other players.

Well I love soccer?football but I'm not one that is all in a fluster over David Beckham and never have. And no, you are right, looks do not win the WC, besides there are plenty of players running around that could give him a run for his money in the WC of sexy players...lol.

Your ring your rules-why let anyone deter you from wearing something you like to wear. I have some fairly loud jewelry that I received as gifts from a favorite uncle-they are very old fashioned and some might say tacky, but they make me smile and remind me my uncle loves me. I wear them anytime I need a pick me up -even on a work day. They may seem out of place to an observer but are perfect for me. Wear what you want-you only live once-and if you do it right once is enough!

Not allowed?  By whom?  I have friends at work who wear them occasionally.  One of them owns a couple of Utilikilts.

It's not a requirement, but most do. They tried to make it law in the early 90's but some players couldn'tget used to them. Some attacking players still don't seem to wear them as they say they can reduce mobility, but over 90% of the current professionals (in the european premier leagues) wear some ankle protection.

NO!  If you're watching the sport just because you're looking at girls then you are naught but an IDIOT!  Soccer itself is a beautiful game, if you can't see that then don't bother with it.  Furthermore, women have the right to not worry about themselves being watched for that sort of thing.  The best way to avoid that is to NOT wear skimpy clothes.  If they wanted themselves watched for that they would have become models, not soccer players.  (note, not an attack on the asker:P might be a frontal on Sepp Blatter, but he has his opinion...Don't know who he is...but he has his opinion:P)

fashion is also the one thing in sports, bcuz without fashion people will say "hey, that group ain't good, look at them, their uniforms is not even for games, they look like they are not playing.." Plus fashion will make your audience cheer you up cuz you're so colorful.

Maniche had it last season when he was on loan.  \n\nBut before that it was worn by Mutu.\n\nAnd before him... the mighty Winston Bogarde.  Which probably explains why you hadn't seen it around for a while - Bogarde languished in the reserves for God knows how long and Mutu was fired.
