#GameDayEve 2016 FC Montreal Edition

by Marissa Blackman

The 2016 Wilmington Hammerheads FC campaign continues tomorrow with a match at home against FC Montreal. The two clubs are separated by four points, and FC Montreal has completed one less match than the Hammerheads. Although FC Montreal's season is certainly getting off to a slow start, the season is still too fresh to label the club as easy competition. Wilmington Hammerheads FC has had strong moments throughout each game this season, but, with one of each possible result, it is also too early in the season to predict undoubted victory for Wilmington. Here are some stats about both clubs:

FC Montreal sits in thirteenth place with two losses in two games. Although the Canadian club has played different rosters in its two games, three players, Janouk Charbonneau, Kyle Fisher, and Michael Salazar, have all played for the full length of both matches. Two different goalies, Maxime Crepeau and David Paulmin, have played for ninety minutes in each match. FCM has only tallied one goal this season, and it was scored in the first half by Ballou Jean Yves Tabla . As the tables currently stand, FC Montreal could jump up to eleventh place with a victory tomorrow.

Wilmington Hammerheads FC sits in seventh place with four points from three games. The Carolinian club has registered one win, one draw, and one loss. In three games, the Hammerheads have established a trend of scoring the most in the first half and conceding the most in the second half. Ashani Fairclough, Logan Miller, and Bruno Perone have each scored once for Wilmington.

So far, neither of the two teams have been defeated by more than one goal. Will one of these eastern conference club make a statement victory tomorrow afternoon?

"Not Everyone Is Messi"

By Marissa Blackman Brace yourselves because I'm about to go on a little rant! I can't be the only one who notices these things. I like to get my soccer content from a wide variety of sources. I scroll along the meme-based, click bait ridden accounts just much as I prowl through the latest writings from more reputable sources of "news." For the past several weeks, I've been seeing posts showing Cavani and Neymar debating over who will take a kick. They all have captions along the lines of "not everyone is Messi." I get what they're saying. Messi would let Neymar take the kick, but Cavani isn't going for that. Ok. Fine. But...there is something so grammatically terrible about that phrase. It must make sense to somebody, but it racks my brain. There's an even bigger problem with these incessant posts. Neymar has been trying to take a kick for weeks. Cavani has been telling him no for weeks. Cavani has ultimately taken most, if not all, of

Hammerheads Tie Montreal

by Marissa Blackman For the second time this season, the Wilmington Hammerheads FC  competed against FC Montreal. Although the first half of the match was competitive, both teams were lacking at times. There was a bit of disconnection in passes between the Hammerheads in the early minutes of the match which lead to some preventable turnovers. Montreal certainly made its presence known by maintaining a fair share of possession, but the Canadian club never did much with the ball. Each time Montreal attempted to approach the goal, the Hammerheads cleared the ball. There were virtually no moments in the first half where Montreal made a real threat of a goal. The Hammerheads made several goal attempts but none were successful. Although the first half was a goalless one, the Hammerheads seemed much more likely to score. In the second half, Montreal had a larger presence. Though FC Montreal maintained possession in the first minutes after half time, the efforts did not force Hammerheads

DIFERENÇAS ENTRE O FUTEBOL EUROPEU E O FUTEBOL BRASILEIRO

por Hugo Haacke Começando na Europa e se espalhando pelo mundo, hoje, o futebol é o esporte coletivo mais praticado em todo o mundo. Tendo objetivos e regras iguais, o futebol se diferencia de lugar para lugar na sua forma de jogar, torcer e gerenciar. Entre a Europa e a América Latina, onde o futebol é mais popular, há significantes diferenças, tendo como principal referência nesse continente, o Brasil, o país do futebol. A primeira diferença e mais perceptível é a tática e a forma de jogar. No futebol europeu, a velocidade durante a partida inteira é algo natural. Há também características gerais como o costume de manter a linha de quatro no meio de campo e, a estratégia de recomposição do time inteiro, o jogo mais centrado, objetivo e calculado. Já o futebol brasileiro, conforme o tempo passa, os técnicos vêm aproximando a tática de seus times ao futebol europeu – principalmente depois da copa de 1982. Mas em sua essência, o futebol brasileiro sempre se caracterizou por lance
