Who is the best soccer player?

     Who is the best soccer player now? It has been discussed for several years and it is still a controversy. Messi and C. Ronaldo are both the most talented and remarkable soccer players, and there is no doubt about that. Therefore, I will compare different aspects of them and we will know clearly who is the best soccer player in this world.
     The first time Messi played as a pro soccer player was in 2003, in the next 10 years, he started to dominate the soccer world. He won 2 Europe Super Cups, 3 Spain Super Cup, 2 Cup de Rel, 5 Spainish League Champion, 3 Europe Champion League and 2 World Club Cup in Barcelona. He was chosen to be the FIFA world player for 4 times. He is the only one who can do that since ever. in addition, He got 91 goals last year and that is the most goals a player can score in one year. It is the world record. However, C. Ronaldo just won the FIFA world player for one time. We can easily tell who is best soccer player in this world.

Retirement of Michael Owen

     One week ago, the famous English soccer player, Michael Owen announced  he had made the decision this would be the last season as a professional soccer player. Suddenly, I felt lost in the bottom of my heart. Because he was not only a soccer player, but also he was the symbol of talented players in that golden ages of soccer. To be honest, I almost tore down when I heard this news. I can still remember that Michael Owen scored against Brazil in 2002, he won the FIFA World Player of the Year in 2001. It is like yesterday. Everything is similar but different. In China, people give him a nickname called "the boy chasing the wind" because of his dribbling. Time goes by, he is not young any more and he finally decides to retire. However, he will always be the boy chasing the wind.

What Is Offside?

    Offside is a professional word in soccer. From the dictionary, we can find that offside is the mistake of occupying an illegal position on the playing field. However, what does an illegal position means? I will attend to explain it in following paragraph.
     To be honest, it is relatively difficult to understand the definition of offside. Technologically, when one of the offense team players is in the position where there is no one else from opposite team between he and their goalkeeper, and his teammate is passing the ball. It is called offside. the picture above shows us an example. when Pippo's teammate is about to release the ball and there is no Real Madrid's players between Pippo and Casillas who is the goalkeeper of Real Madrid. that is what we call offside.
