The Gold Three
Today I would write about three most appreciated and prestigious awards that You can achieve as a professional soccer player. Each of them are presented by FIFA at the end of each FIFA World Cup to the best players in their field.
First of them The Gold Ball was introduced by FIFA in 1982 during World Cup in Spain. First person awarded by it was Italian forward player Paolo Rossi who showed his incredible skills by shooting hattrick (three goals in one match) during match with Brazil.
You might think that only forward players can win the Gold Ball. It’s not true, for them there is a dedicated award that I will write about later. Gold ball is given for incredible skills, good pitch orientation and very nice play.

The Golden Glove Award is awarded to the best goalkeeper of the tournament. The award was introduced with the name Lev Yashin Award in 1994, in honor of Russian goalkeeper who was considered by many in the sport to be the greatest goalkeeper in the history of the game. First player awarded by it was  Michel Preud'homme who played in Belgium team. He is known by his tendency to produce spectacular and decisive saves.


And last but not least The Gold Boot which was introduced in 1982 under the name Golden shoe. This award goes to the most effective (in scoring goals) player which is also a top goalscorer during World Cup. First awarded player was also winner the first Gold Ball Paolo Rossi which shoot 6 goals on the World Cup.

    Where are the links to your sources?!
    Isn't the award called GOLDEN Ball? It would make more sense as a gold ball would be too heavy to even hold.

    I didn't know that the Golden Ball was introduced only in 1982. I thought this award came up in the early 60s, when Puskás and Di Stéfano played in Real Madrid.

Beginnings of association football

Who have kicked the ball first? First notes about a ssociation football are dated to the end of 12 age, when Romans went to the British islands. It was called Harpastum and it wasn’t have a lot in common with soccer we play today, it was a violent game and most importantly you could catch the ball in hands. But association football have much longer history. The beginnings of kicking the spherical object named today a ball had place in China and Japan about 2000 years B.C. Firstly soccer had a military usage – the army of cesar Huang Ti played soccer to train their mobility, dexterity and discipline. It was also useful to rip the team. On the other hand in Japan association football had a religious character and only educated people could play it.

Is there a chance that we will stop being a throwaway society?

Chances for sotop being a throwaway society are very small and even if it works it would be a long time proces. It's fine for us as it is now. We get used to comfort and we didn't take care about environment. Some time ago it wasn't as visible but now it became a real problem.

Howewer these groups are just small percent of people so they can't make a lot.

thoughts

Last week I've noticed thing that is one of the most popular stereotypes connected with school. It says that every teacher takes his subject as the most important subject on the world.
