Topics typical of a utopian soccer

Topics because they are just that, prejudice. Typical because they never stop. As goals from Cristiano and Messi are repeated again and again. Utopian soccer today because many people believe that women's football is unfeasible. Sounds like a fantasy to think that someday may have the same impact that men's soccer. Yes, that's what this article today is March 8. Women's soccer. I wanted to write my little tribute to the days of women from the area to which I belong. Football and, for one day, soccer women do.

I say "soccer" to dry because they know it. Needless to point out that men talk about football when we say "football" because they conceive as the original and true. Above is practiced by women. "They have less muscle mass." "They're more vulnerable." "They have so much strength." These are usually the type of repeated phrases. Topics to be explaining the same sport as the sex of their players. "Players" masculine plural adjective plural has little. Here I use it indiscriminately to include males and females in the idea. On the way, exclude females. "Machismo grammar? The fact is that language, like football, is a human construction. As such, part of a view. For many years, the point of view of the world has been, if not still the man.

Because women's soccer history, as the male, is written with names. For that reason and because few media give surely deserves the hype. I tell you of the most recognized soccer player today. If they did a survey in our country would surely be the footballer Milene Domingues recognized. Not so much as with the ball, I had it. Not for all the goals he has done. Milene Domingues Ronaldinha alias is remembered primarily for her marriage to Ronaldo. Cristiano Ronaldo, on the other. The Ronaldo of a lifetime. Although Ronaldinho Ronaldinho Soccer true today by the name of Marta Vieira da Silva.

We could see a few months ago on the same stage that Messi and Mourinho. The Brazilian player had a presence in the Golden Ball gala. A ceremony known as the palm of your hand. There are now five occasions that Martha has attended to collect as individual distinction. The first four to receive the trophy for best player in the world. It was in 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009. Last time, last January, when he picked up the new FIFA Golden Ball feminine. It was not easy competing with Birgit Fatmire Bajramaj and Frings, two real machines for Germany. But before winning the joga bonito Martha, now in the Western New York's Flash Women's Professional Soccer, considered the most important women's league.

Five consecutive years recognized as the number one football. A record that have failed or Pele or Maradona. What if someone would answer them compare with Marta Vieira? Knowing the temper tantrums of one another, he did not think. I've heard of professional coaching women's football may not have the power of the men's game. For a pure matter of metabolism. In contrast, some of these same technicians, note that precisely this is the virtue of women's football. The physical game is in the background for a more tactical game, where technique and strategy stress more. At last, after all, that is the essence of football. What it really worth the price of a ticket.

The women's game, and by extension all women's sports, Marta has a great ambassador. His feints, his changes of pace and his dribbling skills are the best proof for the unbelievers of football played by women. At least more skillful Marta shows that many top level players. Reminds laclt Ronaldinhoeta but above all by the imagination which radiates in every movement. It dares to face all opponents that come their way. Brand screamers, as noted in the Brazil-USA 's World Cup in China, to name one. I have no doubt that this combination of courage and talent shows among their peers would do well to triumph in the men's soccer. In the end, more like a football that any fan worth his salt is striking. Marta, without much muscle or beard, it succeeds.

I hope this brief nod to women's football, and especially Marta, you have got to know a little more about a pattern and some players are almost invisible in the media spotlight. Marta is today the best player and Silvia Neid, the German team, the best coach. There are very few resources that discuss women's game and its heroes. I do not know many but increasingly showing up thanks to new technologies. The possibilities of the Internet have encouraged many journalists to give an alternative view. Away from the topics and committed to the dissemination of sports they would not sell either a conventional daily. Or not sell directly. This is the case Esport Femenía in Catalonia, from where I write, Balearic Islands and Valencia. A newborn portal but with a lot of projection that I can not recommend it here. Because it is the one I know and follow. Esport Femenía as there are other media covering the women's game from the county level, regional or national level. Luckily, step by step how are you helping efforts to leave behind what I called the typical topics of a utopian soccer. A headline so pompous and repetitive as the phrases often heard when talking about women's football. Although less and less.
