Alderweireld and a touch of variety
An international break gives us the chance to take in other aspects of football that may not always grb our attention and ever on the lookout for variety, I have links for you today to a couple of other forms of the beautiful game.
We'll kick-off though with an interview to the Belgian media by Toby Alderweireld which was reported by Sport Planet.
Walking Football is getting a lot of publicity at the moment as a way to combat isolation issues and get the less mobile playing sport. So many people enjoy sport tht it is a good vehicle to use to reach parts of the community that you would not normallt be able to reach. Drawing people out of isolation is not an easy task, especially if there are self esteem isssues involved as well.
Harry Kane, Alan Shearer, Fabrice Muamba and Geoff Hurst all had a game which left me wondering did they celebrate scoring a goal in the same style they would running football? The article tells of a huge rise in teams playing the game up and down the country, you could say it's really up and running.

Walking football leads me on to another branch of the game you may not know about, Homeless Football. The 13th annual Homeless World Cup takes place in Amsterdam, Holland this year between 12th and 19th September with 49 nations competiting. Chile, Brazil, Scotland and Italy have won the tournament twice, with Chila also coming runner-up once.
Russia, Austria, Ukraine and Afghanistan have won it once each with Russia and Austria also finishing runners-ip once. England made the final in 2003 when Austria were the victors 2-1.
