"Our entire country deserves this incredible win," said Hawar Mulla Mohammed, who scored the winning goal. "When the bus pulled into the stadium (in Amman) tonight, we refused to think of anything but winning, and now we are headed to Athens." Iraq defender Ahmed Alwan added: "It's a crazy joy for us. Despite all of the difficulties we faced, we still managed to qualify for Athens." The IOC in February reinstated Iraq's Olympic committee a year after suspending the agency over allegations that Uday Hussein, one of the former president's sons, used the sports office as a headquarters for torture and corruption. Soccer players were among the athletes who said they were beaten and otherwise abused when they returned from losses in international events.

History of Women's Sport "The solemn periodic manifestation of male sport based on internationalism, on loyalty as a means, on arts as a background and the applause of women as a recompense." - Baron Pierre de Coubertin, founder of the modern Olympic Games. Since Baron de Coubertin uttered those words in the late 1890's, the world has changed almost beyond recognition. Instead of merely applauding the achievements of others, women now wish to share the spotlight. MILESTONES Women's Sport from 440 BC to 1998 The Women's Olympic Games of the 20's and 30's Bruce Kidd writes, "The Women's Olympic Games have long been forgotten, but during the 1920s and 1930s they were an important, international focal point for feminist efforts to improve women's sporting opportunities." Velma Springstead died before she was 20 but her name is still prominent for Canadian sportswoman. In 1932, Alexandrine Gibb and the WAAF named the trophy to annually honour the best Canadian female athlete after Springstead, linking her with the highest levels of athletic achievement ever since.

Saturday 15 April 2000 Ref Denoncourt still breaking new ground Chosen to blow whistle at Sydney Olympics DAVE STUBBS The Gazette PAULO PINTO, AP / Referee Sonia Denoncourt shows a player a yellow card during men's first-division game in Brazil. She was the first woman to officiate at a top-level game in the soccer-mad country. DEREK OLIVER, CP / Soccer referee Sonia Denoncourt holds the 1999 Breakthrough Award at Toronto sports banquet Twenty years ago, Sonia Denoncourt was behind the counter of her hometown Dairy Queen in Sherbrooke, happily serving you a cone, a sundae, even a banana-split when your will power finally melted in the blast-furnace of July. Chances were the berries garnishing your treat were from local fields she'd worked that season, directing pickers and helping them fill their baskets. She was 14 years old. Denoncourt didn't know it then, but her trailblazing career as an international soccer referee began in that ice-cream shop and in those Eastern Townships fields. While other kids her age were sleepwalking through summer, she was taking responsibility for herself and others, learning to size up a situation and seize control, firmly and without hesitation. Now 35, Denoncourt recently learned she's been selected to referee at this year's Sydney Olympics women's soccer tournament. She'll be working her second Games, one of just eight women referees, and she's the only Canadian, male or female, on the Sydney roster prepared by FIFA, soccer's world governing body.

Homepage The History of Soccer The FIFA The UEFA ... Printable Version HISTORY OF SOCCER The history of soccer shows that so many ancient cultures played a sport similar to modern soccer that no one can say with any certainty when or where soccer began. But it is known that the earlier varieties of what later became soccer were played almost 3000 years ago. History of Soccer China and Japan One of the oldest forms of soccer in which players kicked a ball on a small field has been traced as far back as 1004 B.C. in Japan. the Munich Ethnological Museum in Germany has a Chinese text from approximately 50 B.C. that mentions games very similar to soccer that were played between teams from China and Japan. The Chinese kicked a leather ball (filled with hair) and it is known for sure that a soccer game was played in 611 A.D. in the ancient Japanese capital Kyoto. History of Soccer Europe The ancient Romans played a game that somewhat resembled modern soccer. The early Olympic games in ancient Rome featured twenty-seven men on a side who completed so vigorously that two-thirds of them had to be hospitalized after a fifty-minute game. While ancient historians kept records of such conspicuous events as wars and religious movements, they apparently had little interest in preserving the various origins of soccer or other sports, so no one can say how soccer seems to have spread from Asia to Europe. History of Soccer England The New History of Soccer This past World cup, that took place in Korea and Japan was watched by an estimated 33 billion people around the world for almost 27 days. This makes soccer, the most watched single sports event in the world's history not surpassed even by the Olympics. This sport is bigger than baseball, football and basketball combined.

Brownielocks and The 3 Bears Present Cartoon Fun and The History of the Olympics Since the Olympic games go way back to the early Greeks, to do an entire history on one page is a bit overwhelming. So, I'll give you a brief summation of how it all began, and then provide some further links for additional information. So, how and why did it all begin? In ancient Greece, they often combined religious festivals with sporting events, to honor certain gods. The Greeks held the following: The Pythian Games The Nemean Games The Isthmian Games The Olympic Games It was the last one, the Olympics, that were held for the Greek God Zeus and were also the most popular with the people. The first game is said to be held at Olympia, Greece in 776 B.C. and has been held every 4 years since = 1,168 years! Then, Greece came under the rule of the Roman Empire and the Olympic games were declined, to the point where they actually declined in 393 B.C. by the Christian Roman Emperor, Theodosius I, who objected to what he felt were some "pagan rites" associated with the games. In the beginning, the Olympic games were confined to just one day and one event. That event was a footrace that was the length of the stadium. Soon, additional races were added as the popularity grew, as well as discus and javelin throws (tosses), broad jumps, boxing, wrestling, chariot racing and a pentathlon. The pentathlon was composed of 5 different track and field competitions.
