A tired soccer team for Iraq cannot be accused of having high hopes to win against Saudi Arabia. Their Cinderella trip to the Asian Cups finale has captured the vision of soccer fans around the world and has given Iraquis things they have been lacking for a long time such as national pride and unity.

Following the Ancient Greeks when they used to put a hold on war while the Olympics where played, the Iraqis have a ray of hope that the violence may be halted while the Asian Cup matches are played. There is a ray of hope that for at least 90 minutes, the fighting stops and with it a brief relief.

Three victims died in Baghdad by falling bullets after Iraq's quarter-final victory over Vietnam and another 50 were killed by suicide bombers as thousands of soccer fans spilled onto the streets to celebrate their semi-final win over South Korea.

The bloodshed has not escaped the eyes of the Iraqi team, but they have managed to surmount the odds and conquer a peace that the politians have failed to get. This squad is conformed by Shi'ite, Sunni and Kurdish players, all of them together under the directions of a Brazilian coach, Jorvan Vieira.

They all work for the same goal, to win the Asian Cup and bring happiness to the Iraqi people, although it will not stop people from getting killed. All of this members of the Iraqi squad have been touched by the war. All of them have relatives or friends that have passed away victims of the conflicts. For some of them being able to compete in the Asian Cup, and getting this far it means a relief in their sorrow.

The Forest Hills tennis tournament only came about after the long and fruitful history of the West Side Tennis Club which was founded in 1892 on Central Park West with only three clay courts to its name.

Although gaining in popularity, the West Side members were forced out of their rented home after only ten years at Central Park.
The venue now considered potentially too prosperous by its owners for it to be used solely for tennis. Despite this early set back, the club grew in stature and over the next twenty years West Side members were to relocate twice more, before finding their new home that was to accredit the now famous tournament with its name.

1912 saw the acquisition of the Forest Hills site in New York, however the club's popularity required a 14,000 seat stadium rebuild to cope with public demand.
Finally, West Side players had a permanent home. The potential of the new Forest Hills site drew attention from the United States Lawn Tennis association and major world players alike, it was here that the U.S open and Grand Slam events were to flourish and become recognizable around the globe.

Tennis was at an all time high with the likes of Chris Evert, Martina Navratilova, Jimmy Connors and Rod Laver, all gracing the Forest Hills courts. Recognizing the near superstar status of these players, Adidas Forest Hills trainers were introduced and first worn by Professional tennis players in 1977, they offered the player much improved grip, breath ability and style on the courts.

Since then Adidas Forest Hills trainers have enjoyed over thirty years of success, although it has to be said the days of being classed as performance tennis shoes are some what over. Technology has surpassed the Forest Hill's, now cult fashion footwear thanks to Adidas and the tennis heroes of the 70's.

There are many benefits that an individual can gain from participating in a sports activity. Some of those benefits can include having fun, getting exercise, relieving stress, enjoy the outdoors, etc.

However, along with the benefits that an individual may achieve there is a downside to one's participation in any given sport. That is why it is important that when a person is involved in a sport that they utilize the proper equipment, participate in a sport that matches the level of their physical ability and take other precautions as necessary to prevent injuries. This cautionary advice is true for any sport regardless of whether it is baseball, football, or simply throwing the ball in the park with her family

When it comes to the sport of soccer there are many preventative tips that can be utilized to prevent soccer injuries. Prevention of those specific soccer injuries surround the preparation of the body to play the game, the wearing of proper equipment and other safety precautions.

Preparation Of Body

Prior to playing the game of soccer it is important that the body is properly prepared. This preparation includes a number of fitness steps that should be taken before going out onto the field of play. Obviously, the first step in the prevention or reduction of soccer injuries is to increase stamina. This increase in stamina is continually achieved through exercise and playing the game of soccer on a regular basis.

In addition, before taking the field the body should be prepared through the performance of a number of warm-up exercises. These warm-up exercises not only increase the blood flow to the muscles, but stretch the ligaments and tendons that hold the bones and muscles together. Therefore, it is recommended that calisthenics such as jumping jacks, stationary running or walking in place be conducted for a period of three to five minutes. These warm-up exercises should be followed by slowly and gently stretching the muscles to loosen them and thus prevent muscle strains.

Proper Equipment

Another critical way to avoid soccer injuries is through the wearing of proper equipment. Therefore, it is important to wear shin guards and the proper shoes. Shin guards are those pieces of soccer equipment that help to protect the lower legs. Often soccer injuries, because of kicking the ball, are received when another player kicks the ball which may result in kicking another player. Wearing shin guards will help to protect the lower part of the soccer players legs from serious injury. In addition, it is important to wear the right shoes. These shoes should have cleats or other type of grasping action that will maintain the players contact with the ground.

Other Safety Precautions

In addition, there are other practical safety measures that can be taken to prevent soccer injuries. Those common sense items include playing on a soccer field that is free from obstructions. Those obstructions can include large rocks or large holes that may cause damage to the lower extremities. Also, it is important to properly pad the goal posts in the goal area in the event that there is a collision between the players and the goal posts.
