At times I only reveal some tactic to select a good pick. For this instance
It is good to check out outpitch news about soccer. Most people thinks that an incident or disaster may boost a team morale. In fact it deeply damage it. This type of incident usually last a team in couple of matches.
Lesson 2: Indirect Factor the affect the game
Just 1 week back, I missed this piece of news: "Manchester United stars have been left “shaken and upset” over the murder of football-mad 12-year-old schoolgirl Tia Rigg." It was in 06 April. 1 day before the Champ League. Somehow it seem this news broke out late to Man United Player and Surprisingly, they dropped out of Champion League even though they lead 3-0 and during the weekend they drew 0-0 with Blackburn Rover in a Must win match. This In additional the current key striker Wayne rooney was injured.
During Last week of Jan this year, the infamous sex scandal of J Terry with his team mate Wayne Bridge girlfriend broke out. As John Terry is an influential player in Cleasea, This news greatly dampen the team morale. Surprisely Chelsea fail to win 2 underdog in a row and almost lost their title hope. They were beaten 1-2 by burnley and 3 days later, they were held 1-1 by Hull City.
Last Year in German BundesLiga, One of Germany Influential Goalkeeper, Robert Enke committed suicide in early part of Nov 2009. This not only affect Hannover 96 and they lost a key player and From then on, Hannover did not win a league match until 13 March this year. This again apply to team lost an influential player which will be touch on much later.
In 2006 world Cup qualifier, Russia played Slovakia on Sep 2004, The Russia team wore black armband to commemorate the the victime of the Beslan Hostage incident which happend 3 days eariler. Though russia had a high scoring chance, the match goes to a 1-1 draw and Russia even missed a penalty in the game.
During the 2004 tsunami in Aceh, Singapore and Indonesia were in the final of Tiger Cup with Indonesia as the favorite. The Tsunami though happen couple of week early but did not have immediate impact on Indonesia as Earthquake is so common in Sumatra. However with 150,000 dead or missing and it become an international event. This thus greatly destroy Indonesia team morale and they lost both legs of the final to Singapore.
