Soccer rules are deceptively simple. The Laws of the Game Cheap NFL Jerseys China , still heavily based on their forerunners from the 1860s, govern this sport worldwide, and although the intricacies can be complex you can learn the basics in literally minutes of watching the Beautiful Game.

It s important to note that soccer does not even have rules, but rather Laws. This officious term indicates that there is something very bookish about the game, even though the actual Laws document is just a few pages long compared to some other sports. These rules are available via FIFA for any player to read for free.

The first four of soccer s Laws of the Game relate to the mechanics. They describe the dimensions of the field (which can vary depending on whose stadium you re at), the ball (which can also vary between 27 28 inches in circumference) Cheap Throwback NFL Jerseys , the players (eleven per team), and what the players can wear (soccer jerseys, soccer shorts, soccer socks, soccer bootscleats, and mandatory shin pads.)

Laws five and six outline the powers and responsibilities of the referees and his assistants (the latter of which are not mandatory in all leagues Cheap Authentic NFL Jerseys , but are found in pro soccer the world over.) After that, how the game is started and halted (when the referee detects an infraction, or when the ball goes out of play, or when a goal is scored) are looked at in laws seven through ten.

Then comes soccer s offside rule, a Law so contentious it has its very own number: eleven. The offside rule in soccer can be hard to pick up, but the basics are this: if a player waits near an opponent s goal with fewer than two opponents between him and the goalline Cheap NFL Jerseys , and the ball is played to him, he is committing an offside offence. Practically speaking, this in 99 of cases means that if a striker has only the goalkeeper to beat when the ball is kicked towards him, he will be flagged offside. (Of course, if he receives the ball onside and then runs one on one with the keeper, he s done nothing wrong and will probably score!)

Laws twelve right through to the final one seventeen explain why the game might be stopped for a foul Cheap Jerseys China Free Shipping , and what happens when this takes place (a free kick, either direct or indirect, depending on the severity of the offence; or even a penalty kick one on one with the goalkeeper), and also how throw ins, goal kicks, and corner kicks work.

The best part is that you can read these laws in an afternoon and pick up the basics that quickly. But the best way of all is to watch a soccer game with the laws in your hand and refer to them as needed. You ll be a soccer expert in no time.

There are various forms of soccer Cheap Jerseys China Wholesale , ranging from micro soccer (3 a side) to the standard game of 11 a side.

VANCOUVER, Jan. 25 (Xinhua) -- Crossing the Atlantic Ocean by an unmanned sailing boat? Yes, this is a dream of a group of students from the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver in west Canada. They've designed a robotic sailboat that will become the first unmanned vessel to cross the Atlantic Ocean.

They plan to launch the so-called "Sailbot" off the coast of Newfoundland in the far east of Canada this summer from where it will sail the North Atlantic for roughly two weeks before hopefully completing a 2,500-kilometer race in Ireland.

Since 2010 Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping , a group of 66 UBC students have been competing and winning at other robotic sailboat regattas with smaller versions of this automated vessel.

Josh Andrews, a UBC Sailbot team member, told Xinhua that for that purpose, they had contacted the Microtransat Challenge, which is a transatlantic race of fully autonomous sailing boats.

The wind-powered boat controls itself with satellite navigation and infrared imaging. As it sails, it will send route information back to a website so the team and people around the world can monitor its progress through the icebergs and rough shipping channels of the North Atlantic.

"It's all done with computers on board. There are basically two types of systems that we use. One is a navigational system which determines the route to go across the Atlantic Ocean Cheap Jerseys Wholesale , and the other is a sailing system that knows how to get from point A to point B. So when the two systems work together, it will get all the way across," Andrews said.

Andrews said the main challenge would be the harsh Atlantic weather that could batter the ship or swallow it entirely. Running into other vessels could also be a problem.

The ship, when completed in the next few months, will be able to use its thermal imaging equipment to recognize obstacles and navigate around them. Andrews said the computer system can also make the boat brace itself for impacts.

"I think a lot of the work that we've done has actually already been proven on a smaller scale, so we're taking that technology and expanding it and making it work on a bigger scale which is the Atlantic Ocean Cheap Jerseys From China ," he added.

To help ensure success, the boat will be equipped with two identical navigation systems should one fail while at sea. The entire project will cost about 60,000 CAN (49,000 U.S. dollars) and they still needs 20,000 (16,200 U.S. dollars) to fulfill their target.

MADRID， Feb. 2 (Xinhua) -- The semi-finals of the King's Cup knockout competition could have a major role to play in matchday 21 of the Spanish Liga Santander this coming weekend.

The midweek games played between Atletico Madrid and FC Barcelona and Celta Vigo and Deportivo Alaves mean the four sides have played two games a week every week since the Christmas break， giving their coaches a major selection headache and testing their squads to the limit.
