If it's the morning, eat oatmeal or a cereal like Vector (not Lucky Charms or something like that...lol). For a later game, mashed potatoes, pasta, toast...things with carbs in them.

for footballers, I would say an off-season diet would consist of focussing on protein mainly and not forget the fruits and veggies, since we lose lots of weight during the intense season.  I would recommend this for the thinner players who need that extra weight when going 1 on 1 with against that tight defense.  \nAn in-season diet would be a lean diet; making sure you store carbs after matches and eating white meat mainly to digest a little quicker than red meat.  Fruits and vegetables are necessary year round.  I wouldnt recommend fried foods or deli sandwiches(except for a lite snack) since they dont help your body at all.  Foods that contain high fiber should be eaten as a lite snack way before a training session/match or by consuming them at night.  High fiber snacks dont give you energy during intense moments, they do however digest very slowly and may keep your stomach full.\nLet me know if you need anything else.

Im a Player my self, i would say the best thing to do before your game is Stretching, jumping, then a five minute walk before the game begins. \nBefore you do this, drink a glass of water and after the stretching and walking thing.. dont drink any before the game ok?\n\nTrust me this will boost your game..

The most important factor for optimum performance is hydration.  Drink loads of water the day before and the day of the game.  Stop drinking about an hour before the start or you will need the toilet during the game.\n\n3 hours before exercise is the best time to eat.\n\nChicken and pasta is good, just don't eat too much or you will feel lethargic and bloated.\n\nAlso I wouldn't workout the day before, a days rest will leave you feeling fresh.

Well, eat before you go to the game, drink only water while you are there(you can bring a bottle of water in with you) and enjoy the game!  I go for the game, not the food necessarily.

an hour before the event you can eat something light but full of energy like oats or a small plate of cereal or banana or a snack bar. and also drink lots of water before hand don't want to get dehydrated. wear comfortable running shoes, and light clothing.

Have fun, and don't overdo it.  You'll need your strength for later in the cup when they face off with some formidable teams.

Dont get down on your self, that will only make it worse. Remember why you play the game, its for the love of the game, have fun with it. i played soccer since i can remember and alll the slumps that came with it. make sure you are eating healthy before games. sometimes to many pops or chips can make you feel slugish. keep on practicing and let your teammates know that your trying and see if they can help you. they will know you better than anyone.

Eating the Carbs the day before the race is for Energy. Carbs are for energy. Eating a high carbohydrate meal is always good the night before a race.

you'll be in better shape, and a better soccer player, but remember that muscle weighs more than fat.  \nsweating isn't necessarily good or bad.  it's your body's natural cooling mechanism.  but remember- no matter how much you sweat, always stay hydrated, or you risk serious health problems.  you should drink about 16 oz of water (or any other fluid really, it doesn't much matter) for every 30 minutes or so of serious exercise.

your best bet would be to contact the football associations of the specific countries...as in the USSF for usa. they are able to direct you to the diet experts for the national team. just do a net search for the country associations you want to inquire about.
