Could there be an Ideology in Soccer ?



Today, I'll be explaining a topic that's different from freestyle soccer but somewhat related. What I mean by related is that the ideologies in certain continents may give you a clue of where freestyle soccer came from.

Ideologies build up soccer culture and how the teams approach their soccer. It's a belief that's been embedded to the soccer players for years and years and what makes them in today's world.

In this article, you'll discover the truth behind the major continents in soccer like Europe and South America and how they became so successful in major tournaments for decades. You'll also discover the rising suns in the world of soccer and other hot issues related to ideologies in soccer.

Half ATW

Half ATW

The half-ATW is the half version of the ATW ( Around the World). But what's the difference between half-ATW and full ATW? To put it simply, the full ATW can be done using one foot whereas the half ATW is done by using two feet. Confused ? Basically you're doing the same technique but just that after completing rotation with the ball, you kick it up with another. Here are some steps to get you started:

Step One
The simplest way to begin by balancing the ball on your foot ( foot stall )

Step Two
Lift it slightly and rotate it, as you rotate make sure the other foot is ready to receive the ball.

Step Three
Complete the rotation with one foot and kick or plant with the other.

Tip: Lift the ball slightly higher so that you have time for your other foot to kick the ball

It's a hard soccer trick at first because you're using both feet. But as you practice, it becomes easier. Happy freestyling!

5 Facts that could change the World of Freestyle

5 Facts that could change the World of Freestyle

It's been almost 9 years since freestyle soccer grown into mouth-watering and simply addictive sports. The unapproved sport by FIFA is what concerns me about freestyle soccer. Whereas other sports like soccer, futsal and beach soccer grown into being an official sports. In fact, the game of futsal grown for the last 10 years and the first futsal match that I've watched was the final between Spain and Brazil where the Spaniards came out on top with the score of 4-3. Since then I thought those guys on the court were purely breathtaking displaying silky and showboating some soccer tricks especially Falcao from Brazil. Futsal have grown over the last 13 years since 1996 and in fact most people play soccer in the evening. What most people call it as five-aside football or in our case just futsal.

Futsal is just an instrument to show you how the sport raised for that 13 years or so. So I began pondering, what or where would freestyle soccer be in the next 10 years time. I've browse through the forum in ExpertFootball and saw about 8 replies to the topic. But then I've decided to write an article about it, laying out my very own opinion on freestyle soccer in 10 years time. It took 2 solid hours to complete but it was well worth it. Anyway, the title is called "5 Cold Facts that could change Freestyle Soccer in 10 years time"
