UEFA Champions League Group Stage Group A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H. Second (2nd) rounds in CL groups. Written by Ecobika Soccer Predictions. Half of the games (Group E-H) take place on Tuesday, 26 September, the rest (Group A-D) on Wednesday, 27 September. Ecobika Soccer Predictions has picks on all games.

The CL games on Tuesday:

Steaua-Lyon X Steaua is a big surprise, and Ecobika thinks that no risk will be taken, after the good result away in the 1st round!

Real Madrid-Dinamo Kyiv 1 The other football CL game in the same group, Real Madrid is gathering momentum, not advised to bet upset here.

Celtic-K?benhavn 1 Though K?benhavn beat out Ajax in the qualifying stage, Celtic is in must win situation and it should have the fruits against one of the weakest, if not, in the whole Champions League.

Benfica-MU X After the good start, neither team should risk anything! DRAW SEEMS BEAUTIFUL!

CSKA-Hamburg 1 Hamburg is in crisis, CSKA Should win easily

Arsenal-Porto 1 The Gunners are inform home win is widely expected, bet it with confidence at gamebookers

Lille-Milan X Ecobika can not imagine Lille taking any risk, and DRAW is offered with beautiful odds

AEK-Anderlecht 1 Neither team is good enough to qualify from the group, but HOME WIN seems the good bet.

Champions League on Wednesday:

Levski Sofia-Chelsea 2 Maybe Ecobika is onesided, if Chelsea is playing, but not risky to bet AWAY win

Werder Bremen-Barcelona 2 This game maybe one of the best in this round, but Barcelona is too good, bet away

Spartak-Sporting 1 Though Russian teams are not good enough - this is a tradition in the Champions League -, maybe a win at home is not impossible.

Internazionale-Bayern 1 German teams have big problems with Italian teams (remember the World Cup and last years' results in the CL). HOME BANKER at Ecobika

Liverpool-Galatasaray 1 This is an obligatory lesson (homework) for hard-to-predict Liverpool.

Bordeaux-PSV 1 Maybe UNDER 2.5 is better bet?

Valencia-Roma X After the excellent start, neither teams have to risk anything DRAW'S odds is beautiful risk/award ratio!

Shakthar Doneck-Olympiacos X The Ukranien teams - simirarly to their Russian counterparts and rivals - are traditionally not good enough (Kyiv vs Steaua, the latest example) in this Champions League Football Group Stage.

Improving Soccer Skills With Soccer Training Gear

Click Here To Know How To Play The Best Soccer of Your Life

                

 

The main objective when playing the game of soccer is to score a goal in the opposing teams? net and bypassing the goalie. This skill requires a great deal of practice, and a certain portion of muscle training and memory that needs to be acquired over time. With the proper soccer training gear, this goal can be accomplished, while improving other aspects of a player?s soccer skills as well.

New technology in the field of sports training is constantly improving and expanding, but growing as a player ultimately comes down to the fundamentals and repetition. One soccer training device eliminates much of the time spent on retrieving out-of-play balls, allowing practice to become easier as a solo activity, rather than having a constant need to either chase balls yourself, or have a partner do it for you. This simple training device allows more time to be spent on practicing the basics of kicking, and goal placement.

Strength and endurance is another key aspect for all players to possess in order to be optimal soccer players, since a great majority of the 45 minute halves is spent running up and down the soccer field. The ability to outrun an opponent is crucial, and another soccer training device can aide players in doing just that. A rubber band-like cord that ties around the athletes waste, and is secured into the ground, offers resistance training and explosiveness when it comes to racing an opponent on the soccer field.

For some of the skills necessary to become an improved soccer player, training gear may not even be necessary. Going back to the skills learned as a child when first taught how to play the game of soccer, may be some of the best training equipment one can have. Practicing juggling and controlling the ball, quick feet to ball movements, and even just dribbling the ball while running can be some of the best training gear an athlete can have. The saying goes ?Practice makes perfect?, but essentially, it?s more along the lines that ?Practice make permanent?. Repetition and control over the soccer ball without even having to think about it is what will make anyone a better soccer player.

American Soccer Disappoints Again In The World Cup

The 2006 World Cup was going to be our year to show the world that we belong on the world stage in soccer. The Americans boasted a squad with quite a bit of international experience and a hunger to show the world that they belonged. Coming into the 2006 World Cup, the United States team was ranked 5th in the world by FIFA. Another great sign of hope was that the Americans made it to the Quarterfinals of the 2002 World Cup, which gave everyone hope that this could be the year everything was going to come together. For one of the first times I could remember people in America were actually excited about the World Cup.

The first soccer match for the United States was against the dangerous Czech Republic. The United States gave a lackluster performance and was dominated by the Czechs 3-0. This loss was a huge blow to the psyche of the American soccer team, but it would help them focus in their next match. One of the best teams in the tournament, Italy was next in line for the Americans, so things looked grim. It appeared that the United States team was going to disappoint again. However, the American soccer team displayed the skills and toughness everyone expected to see from them this year, and fought for a tie against the Italians 1-1. With Ghana beating the Czech Republic, American soccer once again had an opportunity. If Italy beat the Czechs, and the United States won against Ghana, the Americans would be into the Quarterfinals of the World Cup again. Italy beat the Czech Republic, but the United States suffered a very disappointing loss to Ghana, 2-1.

After the disappointing first round exit from the 2006 World Cup, the American soccer team fell from 5th to 16th in the FIFA World rankings. This was a huge setback in the American?s struggle to reach the pinnacle in soccer. However, we will not be disappointed for long, because the women?s soccer team is tuning up to make their run at the upcoming World Championships. Once again we will have to pin all of our hopes on the women?s soccer team to win on the world stage.

Junior Soccer Defending - Directing the Play

Click Here To Know How To Play The Best Soccer of Your Life

Do your players know whether to show an opponent inside or
outside when they are defending?
You may want to consider this tactic when coaching your
players. There are two schools of thought on this; One says
that your defenders should show the opponents outside
towards the touchline.
The reason for this is that if your player does get beat
then the opponent will still have to get a cross in. Also,
they should be at a more acute angle to get a shot on
target if they have been successfully pushed outside.

The alternative to this is showing the opponents inside,
towards goal. If this is to be your style of play then the
players need to be organised so that there is strength
inside. This can be a risky tactic if players are not
switched on or don't know where to best position
themselves.

Showing them inside would be a good tactic if you where
playing with five in defence with a good sweeper.

If your team lacks some direction on this tactic, then it
will be very difficult for them to get an organised shape
and take a position which is best suited to holding up or
breaking down an attack.

Both young and older players can be coached on this.

As players get older, and become more tactically aware
& proficient in defending techniques, they will be able to
influence the build up play and therefore your defensive
line can react, and adjust, by taking the lead off the first
defender.

Build this simple tactic into some small sided games in
training and watch the beneficial results on match day!
