One of the big issues in football is Racism, and the fact that governing body’s don’t take an appropriate view to punishment. Small fines and short bans really don’t get the point across. During the Trabzonspor’s and Fenerbahce match recently, Emre made a racist comment to Didier Zakora. In this case the Turkish FA banned him for 3 games (is that enough?) In the return game the Trabzonspor players decide to make their feelings known!

200 (Photo credit: Wikipedia) The draw has today taken place for the football competition that forms part of the 2012 london olympics. I was keen to find out who I would be seeing at the city of Coventry stadium….Mexico vs Gabon get you excited! With all the talk of the Great Britain side and who it will (or wont more likely) contain. Its good to see that Great Britain is being represetneted by Mark Clattenberg, Simon Beck and Stephen Child. I was impressed with Ravshan Irmatov at the 2010 world cup and he seems to be well respected within FIFA, so maybe a good bet for the final. Infact I expect he may refere the England Great Britain vs Uruguay match. List of Mens Officials and Women s Officials. Related articles London 2012...

You may or may not have heard of the Adidas Mi Coach system. This is a sports training system similar to the Nike+ that gives you data on your performance. A while back Adidas incorporated this tech into football boots, so players could look up their performance data. This years all start game in the US will be smart as it will be used to launch the team tracking element of MiCoach. It looks to be like a variation of Prozone, however the extension to this will be the fact that fans will be able to view the data as well.

Mexican referee Marco Antonio "Chiquidracula" Rodriguez's decided to be a bit different when showing the yellow card to two players in the Tigres-Santos match. Rather than show each player the card, he pulled out two yellow cards and showed them at the same time, earning himself a 5 game ban! Mexican Soccer Federation secretary general Decio de Maria said in a statement: "The situation of having drawn two yellow cards at the same time is outside the role, not something that is considered in the arbitration rules and is considered as if he had not responded to what happened and did not sanction it.
