Soccer Games

Where can I get copies of the Olympic soccer games from Athens 2004?
I lost my copies of the Argentina soccer games from the Athens olympics and desperately want to replace them. Please do not suggest ESPN or NBC (I’ve tried. I’ve tried EBAY as well). Does anyone know of a website that has these or is willing to trade?
I would try going to www.bigsoccer.com and getting on the message boards there. Quite often on that site people will make copies of old games they have around for people. Not guarentee that someone still has the games you are looking for but its worth a try. Post a question in the Olympic forum or the Argentina one. Also depending on who they played in those games you could post on those boards as well. I have in the past gotten copies of games I missed or forgot to tape from people on the boards. (Though all my requests were for USSocer games.) If that does not work I would look for a supporters chat site for Argentine football. If you find a rabid enough fan who still has the games they will make a copy for you.

A Game For All Seasons $17.99 The night air was crisp, even at the 72 degrees that enveloped the 2000 fans that sat and watched as the Westland Dragons took on the Dallas Sting for the U-21 Women’s National Soccer Championship at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill Field. Both teams had battled to a 1-1 tie over 90 minutes, and now both were coming to the end of the second 15-minute overtime tied at one goal apiece. A shoot-out was inevitable, and how ironic I thought. This is how it all began for this team; this is what set this team apart from others when they were only 12 years old back in the fall of 1994. The whistle of the center official sounded and I knew what lie in store for our girls. They had been here before; they had all been through so much. Ashleigh, Jessie and Kendall were all on the bench due to injuries, and our back-up keeper, Christa, was asking me why she had to do this. I knew this time was different, this time it was for so much more than a trophy or a title. This time it was for all the games, all the seasons and all the players that had come and gone. This was going to be a game of a lifetime – this was their game for all seasons.The Lady Dragons were born on July 7th, 1994, and I remember it like it was yesterday. It was a warm night, and the heat of the day had parched the already dry field to a golden brown, with spots of green, as 45 young 12 year old girls showed up in mass to a tryout for the “New Premier team” about to be formed. Forty-five young girls all with the same dream: to someday play Women’s Major League Soccer. But now, it was a much smaller dream that lie ahead, they were all very sure that they would be the one, the one out of 45 that would catch the Coach’s eye and be chosen to be part of the 18 player roster. |

A Life in Smoke: A Memoir $0.99 “I accepted the certainty of my untimely death with gallows humor and a calculator. I’d read somewhere that each cigarette you smoke knocks seven minutes off your time on the planet. To amuse myself, I did the math: 153,000 cigarettes = two years of my life, up in smoke.” Julia Hansen first lit up at nineteen. Twenty years later, she was editing books about health — and smoking a pack or two a day. She denied her son fast food, but smoked in the house and car; curtailed his video games, but lit up at his soccer matches. Despite repeated attempts to quit, she always crawled back to her beloved menthol lights. Smoking had become a metaphorical chain around her neck, shackling her to an early death. Haunted by a nightmarish vision of her future — her son at her deathbed, begging her not to leave him — Hansen devised a drastic quit method. She bought a 72-foot length of chain that was “unwieldy as a corpse” and locked herself to a radiator in her dining room. What followed: seven days of cold-turkey misery, comic absurdity, and revelation as Hansen stepped from behind her wall of smoke to face her addiction to nicotine — and some painful truths. Clanking around her house like Marley’s ghost, white-knuckling cravings, and struggling to understand tobacco’s unyielding grip on her, Hansen confronted her life in smoke: fractured relationships, lifelong battles with alcohol and depression, and a profound sense of emptiness. On day 1, the chain was her addiction to nicotine, each link a story about cigarettes and self-loathing. By day 7, it had revealed its ringing, rattling truth — that every smoker has a story, and it always centers on clinging to a comfort that can kill you. In the end, Hansen’s story was painfully simple: She smoked to survive her life. And then, to save it, she quit. Fierce and funny, honest and utterly absorbing, A Life in Smoke is Julia Hansen’s evocative and |

A Social History of Indian Football $160 A Social History of Indian Football covers the period 1850-2004.

Fiction, of course, but for any normal child suddenly disfigured the fight to accept and create a new kind of order in his or her world is real. All kids need heroes and unwittingly Alex becomes one to his family and friends. Alex, the voice of reason, and his alter ego Zach learn limitations and possibilities through hilarious adventures (often schemed up by Zach). They save Mario’s house from drowning; try out a new slingshot; use Alex’s new “stealth technology-shaped” body to beat the tag-out in baseball games; get locked out of their motel room, after they got out of the hot tub in twenty-degree weather and waking up all the motel guests.

Alive and Kicking: When Soccer Moms Take the Field and Change Their Lives Forever $12.72 The revolution began with the simple act of a mother kicking a ball to her daughter. An English soccer trainer noticed, and praised her form. “Too bad,” she replied, “there’s no soccer league for mothers.” Who could know that so many lives would change as a result of that simple exchange? In the suburban enclave of Montclair, New Jersey, as in so many communities around America, there was nothing new in the sight of mothers driving their minivans to soccer practice. What was new was that these women were driving to their own practices instead of dropping off their kids and watching from the sidelines. For the generation that grew up before Title IX’s mandate of equal athletic opportunity, the field of play was a male preserve; girls watched and cheered. The lessons that sports are supposed to teach — team spirit, overcoming adversity, playing to win without rancor or anger — were restricted to this young boys’ network; how could women help win the Battle of Waterloo when they’d been kept off the playing fields of Eton? The women of Montclair were mostly of that pre-Title IX generation, and many of them had never played competitive sports in their lives. In Alive and Kicking, Harvey Araton follows these women through their turbulent first two seasons. He turns his keen sportswriter’s eye onto the battles, both on the field and in the psyche, that these women wage as they try to play a sport without compromising their values. He also shows the divisions that wrack the league when a slightly younger generation gets involved in the games, a generation raised without ambivalence about beating an opponent, willing to take a dangerous chance for a winning goal, even if it means running over the woman in their way. But most of all he describes the women who gain in confidence and ambition, like one of the league’s pioneers, who finds the strength to leave a tired marriage, buoyed by her accomplishments on the field — as well as the few who find |

The Express won the ASL championship that season, defeating the Oklahoma City Slickers two games to one to take the title. However, both the Express and the ASL barely made it through the 1983 season before they both folded. Gabarra spent most of his time with the Express on the substitutes bench. In 1984, the United Soccer League (USL) attempted to replace the ASL as the de-facto U.S. second division. Gabarra moved to the USL where he joined the New York Nationals. The USL fared little better than the ASL and the Nationals folded at the end of the season.

Ask Me Again Tomorrow: A Life in Progress $10.99 From her fame as the Oscar-winning actress who uttered the famous line in Moonstruck, “I know who I am,” to her lauded role as Mrs. Madrigal, the landlord of indeterminate gender in Tales of the City, to being the cousin of presidential candidate Michael Dukakis, Olympia Dukakis has captured the imagination of a broad audience. Known for her straightforward talk, her lack of pretension, and her ongoing quest to explore ever more aspects of herself and her art, she is a role model to women of all ages.Olympia Dukakis’s award-winning role in Moonstruck made her a household name, but before that overnight success came twenty-eight years of hard work. For nineteen of those years, she was an integral part of running the Whole Theatre Company in Montclair, New Jersey, while she and her husband raised their three children. She managed to “have it all” — career, family, home — before having it all became fashionable (even if she did root for the wrong team at her sons’ soccer games — “We’re in the blue shirts, Mom”). She also managed to care for her aging mother, who developed Alzheimer’s and moved into the family home, completing Olympia’s three-generation family.In Ask Me Again Tomorrow, this internationally renowned film and stage star reveals her struggle to assimilate as a first-generation Greek-American, her long alienation from her mother and how that finally resolved itself, her battles with addiction and her volatile personal relationships, and the efforts it took for her to overcome all of this and achieve excellence in her professional calling. A story told with honesty, humor, and the sincere desire to be shared, Ask Me Again Tomorrow is more than acelebrity memoir — it’s a book that will endure.During a career that has spanned more than forty years, Olympia Dukakis has worked as an actress, director, producer, teacher, and activist. She received an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, the New York Film Critics Award, the Los |

The act of foundation was written in the Rodi’s family home, located in the streets of Azara and Independencia Nacional in downtown Asunción, Paraguay. That evening, three names for the club were suggested: Paraguay, Esparta and Olimpia. The final decision came to William Paats who chose Club Olimpia as the team official name, in honor of the Greek city of Olympia where the Olympic Games were born. The original kit was composed of a black shirt with the word OLIMPIA written in white across the chest and white shorts. Later, white and black were adopted as the colours for the team, with a white shirt with a horizontal black stripe. The alternate jersey is black with a white stripe, though in 2008 the stripe is vertical. The first national championship in Paraguay was played in 1906, after the foundation of the Paraguayan Football Association (APF).

Stephenson $8.78 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Not illustrated. Excerpt: Umbro is a British sportswear and equipment supplier based in Cheadle, Greater Manchester, England. The company is now part of Nike. Umbro designs, sources, and markets sport-related apparel, footwear, and equipment. Its products are sold in over 90 countries worldwide. Umbro are the current suppliers of sports apparel to the England national football team as well as Republic of Ireland national football team, Northern Ireland national football team, Rangers F. C., The Football Association, and the FA Cup. The company was founded in 1910 in Wilmslow, Cheshire as Humphreys Brothers Clothing. In 1924, the company changed its name to Umbro, a portmanteau of its previous name, Humphrey Brothers. Until the mid 1980s, the company manufactured only sports clothing, in particular football jerseys, shorts, and socks, but had no footware range. Eventually, in 1985 Umbro decided to introduce its first football boot into the Brazilian market. This design, cheaper than the products of existing boot brands such as Adidas, proved popular and went into mass production internationally two years later. Umbro also manufactured a popular style of shorts that reached its peak in the late 1980s and early 1990s. They were made of nylon, had a drawstring waistband, and often came in bright colors. With the growth of youth football (soccer) leagues in the United States in the 1980s, many youths, teens, and young adults began wearing them as everyday clothing. Like football itself, they were equally popular among both genders. At the height of the fashion, other brands of football shorts, such as Adidas, Diadora, Hummel, Lotto and Mitre, also became popular. In the 1990s, the company relocated from its central Manchester facility to new, state-of-the… More: |
