this year some of the players have been wearing tights for support and to keep their muscles warm. i read that this is probably going to be banned by the commissioner. i get a kick out of the players that wear knee-high socks.

There are so many choices. I don't think there is a right or wrong answer to your question. All leading sports equipment manufacturers, like Adidas, Nike, Puma, Diadora or Umbro, produce great soccer cleats. Are some of them better and more comfortable than the other? Of course. But the difference lays in everyone own preferences. \nThere are many factors to consider when selecting soccer cleats: manufacturer, material(s) that cleats are made of, size, studs and outsole (bottom of the cleats) type and other additional features, like split outsole, external heel counter, lacing etc.\nAll these will determine the comfort of your soccer cleats.

They are called bloomers or cheer briefs. When I cheered, I wore underwear underneath my bloomers since I just felt gross wearing just bloomers. Its usually the color of the uniform.

Because their team colours are black and white.

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 small gray box next to the player's name shows the player received a yellow card in the previous match. I believe an (N) or (I) beside the player name on the bench explains injury or red card.

cause if you look like it it looks like a banner like you see people holding at footballmatches for example, they have a rectangualr peice of cloth with stuff about there team on it, in other words they are advartising there football team.

they do. don't know where they got that. I use one at the gym. You think people are going to wear their underwear under their gym shorts? And there's a tv commercial out now with this little guy on a football team getting dressed with big guys all around and he picks up a jock strap belonging to someone else and it's HUGE. In football, they have jock straps and you put the cup inside the jock strap. Same for baseball. You think they wear their underwear underneath?

Players can usually choose their shirt preference, most of them choose short sleeves because it's more comfortable to wear and doesn't get so hot. But I guess Beckham prefers long-sleeved shirts, he's not the only one though, Rooney also wears long-sleeves.

Respect is the main answer. Remembrance is a second factor too because the players have jerseys with the dates they wore the jersey on such as tomorrow Cristiano ROnaldo's jersey is going to say 26/11/06 because he lives in England the date is going to be written in that way. The players will remember that day in the future when they look into there closet of collections. Ronaldo is going to swap his with Ashley Cole or Joe Cole most probably because he plays on the Right Wing and Joe Cole or Ashley Cole will have the job to defend him as they work on the left side.

Football is no less than a Religion for them...the ronaldinho's, Kaka's , Adriano's these big names come from the lower strata of society...I've seen waiters of a brazilian restraunt playing soccer at night..they just can't sleep without it...and they play it on the samba music..that music really speaks on them..for them its eat soccer sleep soccer and think soccer.

they are mascots that come from local schools or youth teams or supporters clubs, its an old tradition been going on as long as i can remember..\n\nMost probably those kids are players in the youth club. Believe me that even Wayne Rooney used to walk out with the players before the match starts.\n\nAlso because FIFA, the world football governing body, has a partnership with UNICEF, the United Nations Children's Fund. The two organisations team up to prevent children from being recruited as child soldiers, inform them about the dangers of HIV/AIDS through education and discussion, and promote educations for girls, among many other objectives. Their goal is to demonstrate how footballers can serve as role models, and how the game of football is one of the most powerful ways through which the world can receive messages of non-violence, tolerance and peace.
