Mass recruitment

Che football women calendar. The Dutch national team won the women's European football championship for the first time

The 2017 European Football Championship starts on July 16 next year in the Netherlands. 12 leading teams of the Old World will take part in the tournament. All teams are divided into three groups, and subsequently the best teams in the group stage will meet each other in the playoffs. We will find out the best women's team in Europe on August 6, when the final match will take place at the stadium in Enschede.

The decision to hold the Women's European Championship 2017 in the Netherlands was taken by vote in December 2014. Applications for the women's championship were submitted by Switzerland, Scotland, Poland and England. The popularity of this sport in the country and the availability of all the necessary infrastructure for the championship played in favor of the Netherlands. A year before the tournament, all sports arenas were reconstructed and the corresponding infrastructure was ready. This distinguishes this women's championship from other large football tournaments, when stadiums and infrastructure are rented out just a month before the start of the competition.

Championship stadiums and cities

The 2017 European Championship games will be held in seven cities. The largest arena will be Grols Veste in Enschede. This stadium will host one semi-final and one final match of the tournament. Games will be played at Stadion Galgenwaard in Utrecht, Rat Verlegh Stadion in Breda, Sparta Stadion Het Kasteel in Rotterdam, De Adelaarshorst in Deventer, Koning Willem II Stadion in Tilburg and De Vijverberg in Doetinchem. Women's football in the Netherlands is very popular, so there are guaranteed to be no problems with arena occupancy. The games of the local Dutch women's football championship gather 10 thousand spectators each, so there will be no problems with the sale of tickets for the European Championship games.

Participants of the European Championship 2017 and contenders for gold

Groups have already been selected for the European Women's Championship 2017. These are the Netherlands as the hosts of the tournament, France and Germany, who were able to win their qualifying groups in advance, and other teams. In total, 38 teams take part in the qualifying tournament, which compete for 12 tickets to the main tournament.

Under the terms of the tournament, the winners of their groups receive tickets directly to the final tournament, and the best teams that take second places will play play-offs among themselves, which will allow the remaining places in the 2017 European Championship to be played. Please note that the UEFA EURO 2017 table will undergo minor changes as all participants are not yet known. The champion of the previous championship, and the 2013 championship was won by the German team, is not exempt from the qualifying tournament, and is forced to break into the tournament through the qualifying sieve. However, it was not difficult for Germany to break into the tournament. The Germans were among the first to win their qualifying group and are already preparing for the upcoming championship.

Of the contenders for the championship gold, we note the current European champion - the German national team, which was able to successfully survive the generational change and pleases its fans with dynamic attacking football. Today in men's and women's football there is a total domination of the Germans. The competition of the German national team will be traditionally strong Swedes. We also note the excellent game of the French women, who were the first to win their qualifying group. Russia at Euro 2017 is also one of the contenders for high places.

Aliens in the wall

One of the most important changes in the rules of the game, which will come into force from June this year, concerns the wall during free kicks. Now it is forbidden to get up the players of the attacking team. This will make life easier not only for goalkeepers, defenders and referees. The crushing in the wall, the delay in time will stop, the game will become more spectacular. But not all new rules benefit football.

Referee whistle

Many rules in football were formed very early. The referee's whistle was first blown on the football field in 1878. Prior to this, the referees controlled the game mainly with their voice and hands. But on July 10, 1878, one of the matches in London was judged by a policeman. When a fight broke out on the field, he immediately blew the whistle. The fight has stopped. Since then, the whistle has become an indispensable attribute of a football referee.

Video replays as proof

But the rule was introduced only recently, in 2012. The FIFA Executive Committee, after much deliberation, allowed the use of these technical means. At the last World Cup in Russia, video replays were used to test three controversial situations: when it was about whether a goal was scored or not (including whether it was scored from offside), a penalty was awarded, and a player was sent off.

Vanishing Spray

For the first time such a spray was used by Brazilians in 2001. In the same place, in Brazil, the disappearing spray was used at the 2014 World Cup. With its help, the referees draw a line to set up the wall and indicate the place of the violation when a free kick is taken. The referee no longer has to move the wall again and again, as before. The composition of the spray, mainly water and butane. The latter disappears rather quickly.

No offside

There are also more radical proposals. So, it is not the first time that football functionaries advocate the abolition of the offside rule: they say, matches will become more spectacular. In 2010, the then president of FIFA even spoke out for the abolition of offside. But it all ended only with the fact that in 2013 the rule of the so-called passive offside position was partially abolished.

Gate dimensions

Football goal dimensions, according to the rules, are 7.32 m wide and 2.44 m high. Why such strange numbers? In fact, these are English sizes: 8 yards and 8 feet, which corresponds to a ratio of 3: 1. This was defined in the 19th century. Nevertheless, proposals are constantly being made to increase the gate: they say, then they will score more, the game will become more interesting. But does it depend on the size of the gate?

Timeouts

Another suggestion is to divide the match into four quarters so that the coaches have more opportunities to give instructions to the players. And about ten years ago, they discussed whether to introduce time-outs, as is customary, for example, in basketball - 2 minutes per half and team. But, in the end, they gave it up. Time-outs are allowed only in futsal: 1 minute in each half.

Post-match shootouts

The famous former striker Marco van Basten proposed to replace the post-match penalties with shootouts. Players start moving from a distance of 25 meters from the goal, go one on one with the goalkeeper and must make a kick within 8 seconds. Penalties will only break through during the game. But the post-match penalties at the 2018 World Cup showed that it is a pity to part with such an exciting tradition.

Removal from the field for 10 minutes

FIFA is now discussing the question of whether to introduce a temporary (for example, for 10 minutes) removal of players from the field for rough play - in the event that a foul or a series of fouls does not pull on a red or even yellow card, but still requires a more serious punishment than a verbal warning. Perhaps even the introduction in this case of orange cards - in addition to red and yellow.

"Golden Goal"

From 1993 to 2004, the winner of the playoff matches was determined by the "golden goal". If a team scored a goal in extra time, the game was immediately stopped. The golden goal rule allowed Germany to become European champions in 1996. The decisive goal against the Czech national team was scored by Oliver Bierhoff (pictured). In 1998, at the World Cup, the "golden goal" brought victory to the French in a duel with Paraguay.

Bikini for women's football

In 2011, FIFA President Sepp Blatter proposed, following the example of beach volleyball, that female football players be dressed in a new uniform: tight-fitting shirts and tight panties. Then, they say, more people will go to women's matches. Team USA captain Julie Fowdy said, "We'll only wear this uniform if Blatter does his press conferences in swimming trunks!" The idea was abandoned.

"GPM Match" has provided a preliminary schedule for broadcasting matches of the UEFA Women's European Football Championship 2017 on the public federal channel and thematic TV channel . A full-scale coverage of the tournament is planned on the digital resources of the sub-holding.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, Weyrother moved with his plans to Kutuzov's apartment, where a military council was appointed. All the heads of the columns were called to the commander-in-chief, and, with the exception of Prince Bagration, who refused to come, they all appeared at the appointed hour.
Weyrother, who was the full manager of the proposed battle, represented by his liveliness and haste a sharp contrast to the discontented and sleepy Kutuzov, who reluctantly played the role of chairman and head of the military council. Weyrother evidently felt himself at the head of a movement that was already unstoppable. He was like a harnessed horse running downhill with a cart. Whether he was driving or driven, he did not know; but he rushed at all possible speed, not having time to discuss what this movement would lead to. Weyrother that evening was twice for a personal inspection in the enemy's chain and twice with the sovereigns, Russian and Austrian, for a report and explanations, and in his office, where he dictated the German disposition. He, exhausted, has now come to Kutuzov.
Apparently, he was so busy that he even forgot to be respectful with the commander-in-chief: he interrupted him, spoke quickly, indistinctly, without looking into the face of his interlocutor, without answering the questions put to him, was stained with mud and looked miserable, exhausted, confused and at the same time arrogant and proud.
Kutuzov occupied a small noble castle near Ostralitsy. In the large living room, which had become the office of the commander-in-chief, Kutuzov himself, Weyrother, and members of the military council gathered. They drank tea. They only expected Prince Bagration to proceed to the military council. At 8 o'clock Bagration's orderly arrived with the news that the prince could not be. Prince Andrei came to report to the commander-in-chief and, using Kutuzov's permission previously given to him to attend the council, remained in the room.
“Since Prince Bagration will not be here, we can start,” said Weyrother, hastily getting up from his seat and approaching the table, on which a huge map of the surroundings of Brunn was laid out.
Kutuzov, in his unbuttoned uniform, from which, as if liberated, his fat neck floated out onto the collar, sat in a Voltairian chair, putting symmetrically plump old hands on the armrests, and almost slept. At the sound of Weyrother's voice, he forcefully opened his single eye.
“Yes, yes, please, it’s too late,” he said, and nodding his head, lowered it and closed his eyes again.
If at first the members of the council thought that Kutuzov was pretending to be asleep, then the sounds that he made with his nose during the subsequent reading proved that at that moment the matter was much more important for the commander-in-chief than the desire to show his contempt for the disposition or for what be that as it may: for him it was about the irresistible satisfaction of a human need - .sleep. He really slept. Weyrother, with the movement of a man too busy to waste even one minute of time, looked at Kutuzov and, making sure that he was asleep, took the paper and in a loud monotonous tone began to read the disposition of the future battle under the title, which he also read:
"Disposition to attack the enemy position behind Kobelnitz and Sokolnitz, November 20, 1805".
The disposition was very complex and difficult. The original disposition read:
Da der Feind mit seinerien linken Fluegel an die mit Wald bedeckten Berge lehnt und sich mit seinerien rechten Fluegel laengs Kobeinitz und Sokolienitz hinter die dort befindIichen Teiche zieht, wir im Gegentheil mit unserem linken Fluegel seinen rechten sehr debordiren, so ist es vortheilhaft let des Fluegel Feindes zu attakiren, besondere wenn wir die Doerfer Sokolienitz und Kobelienitz im Besitze haben, wodurch wir dem Feind zugleich in die Flanke fallen und ihn auf der Flaeche zwischen Schlapanitz und dem Thuerassa Walde verfolgen koennen, indem wir dem Defileen von Schlapanitz undow Bellitz aus die feindliche Front decken. Zu dieserien Endzwecke ist es noethig... Die erste Kolonne Marieschirt... die zweite Kolonne Marieschirt... die dritte Kolonne Marieschirt... , on the contrary, we surpass his right wing with our left wing, then it is advantageous for us to attack this last enemy wing, especially if we occupy the villages of Sokolnitz and Kobelnitz, being placed in the opportunity to attack the enemy’s flank and pursue him in the plain between Shlapanitse and the Tyurassky forest, avoiding, together with that defile between Shlapanits and Belovits, which covered the enemy front. For this purpose it is necessary... The first column is marching... the second column is marching... the third column is marching...], etc., read Weyrother. The generals seemed reluctant to listen to the difficult disposition. The blond tall General Buxhoeveden stood with his back against the wall, and, fixing his eyes on the burning candle, did not seem to be listening and did not even want to be thought that he was listening. Directly opposite Weyrother, with his shining open eyes fixed on him, in a warlike pose, with his hands resting on his knees with outstretched elbows, sat a ruddy Miloradovich with upturned mustaches and shoulders. He was stubbornly silent, looking into Weyrother's face, and took his eyes off him only at the time when the Austrian chief of staff fell silent. At this time, Miloradovich significantly looked back at the other generals. But from the significance of this significant look it was impossible to understand whether he agreed or disagreed, satisfied or dissatisfied with the disposition. Closest to Weyrother sat Count Lanzheron, and with a thin smile on his southern French face, which did not leave him during the entire reading, he looked at his thin fingers, quickly turning over the corners of a golden snuffbox with a portrait. In the middle of one of the longest periods, he stopped the revolving movement of the snuffbox, raised his head and, with unpleasant courtesy at the very ends of his thin lips, interrupted Weyrother and wanted to say something; but the Austrian general, without interrupting his reading, frowned angrily and waved his elbows, as if to say: later, later you will tell me your thoughts, now if you please look at the map and listen. Langeron raised his eyes upward with an expression of bewilderment, looked back at Miloradovich, as if seeking an explanation, but, meeting Miloradovich's significant, meaningless look, sadly lowered his eyes and again began to turn the snuffbox.
