  81. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="/img/48_team_fifa_world_cup_will.jpg" alt="48-team FIFA World Cup will increase Asian and African" align="left" /><p>Asia is a big continent, so it's hard to make sweeping generalizations. I think Zac meant specifically Far East countries like the two Koreas, China, and Japan. So I'll focus on those. The short answer is that yes, there is a physical gap, and it matters. Yet it probably does not matter as much as many think it does. And it comes with two big qualifiers: 1- it's not about endurance, but height, especially in forwards and defenders. 2- cultural and geographical reasons are probably even more important The longer answer: China and Japan certainly underperform in soccer relative to the interest level in the sport and their socioeconomic/infrastructure level. Asian countries are overrepresented in World Cups wrt the absolute strength of their teams (due to diversity + FIFA voting mechanism), and have produced a grand total of one home-court semifinalist in 2002 following two of the most scandalous refereeing ever seen at the World Cup (and that's saying something, considering the history of the world cup) vs Italy and Spain. In general, a team like Japan has always massively underperformed vs their home league level and the level of its stars. The likelihood of Japan winning the 1998 World Cup is not zero -Hidetoshi Nakata (May 1998). That was a provocative but not outlandish statement at the time. Japan ended its run with a 0-0-3 record, including a 2-1 defeat against Jamaica, a team of amateurs and unemployed young men gathered together by Simoes two years earlier. This is despite the fact that Nakata, Nakayama, Nakamura, and now Kagawa, Honda and Yuto Nagatomo were/are well-established players in European leagues. They're ostensibly better than any player in US history, yet US has been a regular in the round of 16 and has made appearances in the last 8 in modern times. So why? I don't buy the argument about stamina. 1- the Asian players in european leagues tend to make stamina and running capabilities a strength of their game (Park, Nagatomo, etc). Asian athletes are very competitive in stamina-heavy disciplines like mid and long distance running, swimming, etc. 2- Asian players who play in their home leagues play less demanding seasons and should be in better physical condition come World Cup times. They're also comfortable in hot and humid climates. I do buy three other arguments: height/elevation, mindset, and talent pool. The World Cup is a weird tournament: it's a much shorter and compressed than other competitions, it's played in hot and humid conditions, and national teams do not have time to gel tactically to the level of clubs playing together 9 months every year. All these factors make set pieces particularly important. Key factors in set pieces: a) header (and goalkeeping) ability and height, and Asian teams are 4in shorter per player on both ends of the field. Japan has only one player 6' or more. You can't teach height. b) defensive prowess and roughness, and Asian leagues are among the most defensively relaxed/less tackle-y. Japan came to the 2014 world cup with an impressive record, dominating its group and upsetting Belgium, with excellent level of play. Japan had a good coach in Zac, well-defined style of play and above-average technique. Japan had a plan. All plans are good until you get punched in the face, and the plan that works against Asian teams or in friendly matches tends to crumble once you face a taller, rougher, more muscular team motivated by World Cup prospects (for many players, the World Cup is *the* occasion to put themselves on display and get a good contract immediately after). With their best defensive midfield player, Endo, rapidly declining at 33, there was absolutely no dam against the of the likes of Ivory Coast and Colombia. Japanese soccer has reached a local maxima in its level of play, favored by its cultural insularity that makes it so that few players go to play in Europe and few european players come to Japan (and none in their prime). That makes Japanese football, with its emphasis on technique and passing, a slightly different sport that does not work against a western style of play. Kakitani, who's the terror of Japanese defenses at home, is a joke of a striker internationally. The midfield is not a problem as height and physicality matter less than running and technique (and in fact almost all Japanese exports are midfielders or atatcking midfielders), but they do need to get defenders and strikers with international experience, and that's going to be hard because of height. Finally, soccer is the most popular sport to watch but not necessarily to play in the Far East. Many prospects are geared towards individual sports where they can win gold medals on their own or in a small team: swimming, fencing, archery, where height does not count a lot, or even tennis, where height matters but you just need to field one. The likelihood that Nishikori could have been a good defensive player for the national soccer team is relatively not low. This one factor is even more important in China and Korea. So what do Far East football teams need to do better? - Tall and strong prospects that choose to play soccer and not an individual/Olympic sport, especially in goalkeeping, defense and striker positions. - The above going to play in Europe and absorbing that mindset, and in general to play more against European opponents There are serious geographical, cultural, and physical barriers to the above, which is why soccer has been extremely popular for 20 years now in the Fa East, but results are lagging. So physical characteristics are not the factor, but they are factor, and a very significant one. To people make the rexample of the short-ish Spanish team that won everything for 6 years: that is a really bad surface analogy. 1- Spain's play is completely centered on midfield (where height counts less), where they could run laps around any other team in the world. Unless you have that midfield, and that strong of a home league, you can't play like they do.</p>]]></content:encoded>

  90. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="/img/why_football_specific_training_alone_is.jpg" alt="Why football specific training alone is not enough to physically" align="left" /><p>Photo Ezekiel Elliott, an Ohio State running back, running against Notre Dame during the Fiesta Bowl on Jan. 1.Credit Ross D. Franklin/Associated Press Gretchen Reynolds on the science of fitness. To protect the heads of football players, it might be advisable to have them occasionally practice without head protection, according to a counterintuitive new study of a successful Division I football program. Head impacts are frequent in football, as they are in many other contact sports. By some estimates, high school and college football players sustain 1, 000 or more impacts to the head during a typical season. Youth players, some as young as 6, can accumulate 100 head impacts a season. While the long-term health repercussions remain uncertain, most of us have heard that repeated concussions, which occur when the brain bangs against the skull, might increase an athlete’s subsequent risks for cognitive decline and other brain conditions, including chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a degenerative brain disease. Just this week, in a case study published in JAMA Neurology, neurologists reported that the brain of a recently deceased former college football player who had sustained at least 10 concussions over his playing career showed signs of severe and widespread C.T.E. He was 25 when he died. Thankfully, few of the head impacts that most athletes sustain during sports such as football result in concussions. Many are imperceptible to the players themselves. But researchers, doctors, players, parents, coaches and common sense agree that it is better for athletes to absorb fewer knocks to the head than many. So in recent years, researchers have begun studying ways to reduce the number and intensity of head impacts during football and other sports. Most of this attention has focused on improving helmets. But some researchers have wondered whether changes to helmets or other protective headgear are, by themselves, sufficient to protect athletes, or whether better helmets might subtly encourage dangerous play. Erik Swartz, the chairman of the department of kinesiology at the University of New Hampshire, said that “in the 1950s and ‘60s, after a hard shell was applied head and neck injuries increased, ” in part because players began spearing with their heads while tackling, believing the hardened helmets would keep them safe. Dr. Swartz and a group of other head-injury experts decided instead to look at an inverse option: having football players occasionally remove their helmets and seeing how that affected their subsequent play. Two years ago and with some trepidation, the researchers approached the coaches for the University of New Hampshire football team, a Football Championship Subdivision powerhouse, and asked if they would consider implementing a helmetless tackling program designed by the scientists. Dr. Swartz, who had played college rugby, a sport that involves hard tackling, no helmets and surprisingly few head injuries, had developed drills for these helmetless practices, emphasizing proper tackling technique and no spearing with the head. The coaches, told that the researchers “really believed that this program would reduce head impacts, ” agreed, Dr. Swartz said. And so, during the 2014 preseason, half of the U.N.H. football team began practicing twice a week without helmets, following a carefully prescribed series of drills. The other half of the team completed standard practices, with helmets. During the regular season, the players assigned to the helmetless group continued to practice once a week without helmets. Throughout this time, all team members wore helmets equipped with sensors that tracked the number and force of impacts to their heads. Early in the season, head impacts were comparable in both groups, the researchers found. But as the season progressed, the players who occasionally practiced without helmets began to experience considerably fewer blows to their heads. By the end of the season, they were hitting their heads about 30 percent less often in any given game or practice than the players who never took their helmets off during drills. To Dr. Swartz, the lead author of the new study, which was, the data strongly suggest that “the athletes in the intervention group had learned how to tackle and play” without involving their heads as much. Perhaps as important from a practical standpoint, the coaches told Dr. Swartz that they thought that the players in the helmetless group were now tackling more effectively than the players who had not participated in helmetless drills.</p>]]></content:encoded>

We also invite families of younger players who are interested to see what will be available for them in the future as we continue to form new AFC teams at U13 level each year.</p>]]></content:encoded>
