Ahlan Wa Sahlan Ya Ramadhan
Puasa pada bulan Ramadhan adalah rukun Islam yang keempat yang wajib dilaksanakan oleh umat Islam yang telah cukup syarat-syaratnya. Puasa ialah menahan diri dari makan dan minum dan perkara-perkara yang membatalkan puasa, mulai dari terbit fajar sadiq sehingga terbenam matahari. Namun bagi mencapai kesempurnaan berpuasa kita hendaklah juga memelihara telinga, mata, lidah, tangan dan kaki serta anggota badan yang lain dari melakukan segala perbuatan maksiat.
Puasa hanya sah dilakukan jika ia disertai dengan niat berpuasa, waktu berniat puasa Ramadhan itu ialah setelah terbenam matahari dan sebelum terbit fajar sadiq. Jika niat itu dilakukan setelah terbit fajar atau sebaya dengan terbit fajar, maka puasa itu tidak sah.
Manakala lafaz niat puasa ialah : Nawaitu Sauma Ghadin An Ada'i Fardi Ramadhana Hazihis Sanati Lillahi Ta'ala yang ertinya : Sahaja aku berpuasa esok hari bulan Ramadhan pada tahun ini kerana Allah Ta'ala.
Niat berbuka puasa :
allahumma laka somtu wa bika aamantu wa ‘alaa rizqika afthartu birahmatika ya arhamarrohimin
Maksudnya: “Ya Allah bagi Engkau aku berpuasa dan dengan Engkau beriman aku dengan rezeki Engkau aku berbuka dengan rahmat Engkau wahai yang Maha Pengasih dan Penyayang”.

KroniZ night out at Polo Club
It was the last game for Kroniz Fc before taking a long break for the Ramadhan fasting month. The game was against DPMM Mgt, a team almost everybody knew in Brunei.
But for Kroniz FC, it wasn't a team to be feared but a team to be enjoyed playing with. The number of games with this elegant management team proved the cordial ties KroniZ possess with them.
In terms of last night's game, KroniZ FC managed to give the home team a game they will not forget just before Puasa. The number of lightning on-target strikes proved that Kroniz does have the sting albeit unable to score in the first half. With all the wit and experience of DPMM Mgt, the home team only managed an easy goal in the first half of the game.
Then in the second half of the hot and unwindy weather, KroniZ Fc managed to steal the limelight of the game by scoring a goal to equalised. The quick exchanges of passes found Arch who side-footed to send the ball into the upper left corner of the goal leaving the tall DPMM Mgt keeper gasping to reach the ball.
As the long night continued coupled with the ever tiring old feet of the visiting team, DPMM managed to score two more goals. The retiring of Aming proved disastrous and led to two quick goals scored by the home team's fastest player Helmi Long.
With cramps and sprains looming, time soon ran out and the referee blew the whistle and ended the game..
For Kroniz FC, a post-mortem was held at the luxurious and sumptious KTM restaurant to discuss team players, direction and the upcoming preparations for Puasa...
Selamat Berpuasa..
DPMM MGT 3 - 1 Kroniz FC

Soccer Acting
JOHANNESBURG — The Ivory Coast forward cried out in apparent agony, covered his face with his hands and dropped to the turf with a thud in the waning minutes of his team’s 3-1 loss to Brazil on Sunday at the World Cup.
The forward, Abdul Kader Keïta, was not hit with the ball or slapped across the face or punched, just bumped by the Brazilian star Kaká, who did little more than shrug, sticking his right elbow into Keïta’s chest.
That was all it took for Keïta to fall to the turf as if he had been doused with pepper spray.
The referee punished Kaká with a yellow card, his second of the game, forcing his ejection and leaving his team a man down for the rest of the game.
Many who saw the replay wondered whether Keïta’s fall was the tournament’s latest example of what officials call simulation. Much of the flopping, flailing and falling in soccer is little more than diving to the turf in an effort to dupe the referee.
If successful, the diver could be awarded an unimpeded kick from the point of the infraction or, if it occurs in the penalty area in front of the goal, a penalty kick from 12 yards.
Fans are already seeing as much bad playacting as tricky dribbling during the World Cup in South Africa, despite efforts by FIFA, the sport’s world governing body, to punish divers. Some of the best players in the world crumple under imaginary contact to win a penalty, or writhe in seeming pain to run the clock down or give their teammates a breather.
“I wish it wasn’t part of the game,” said Paul Tamberino, the director of referee development for U.S. Soccer. “Players will do whatever they can.”
In his first game of the tournament, the German midfielder Mesut Özil tumbled as if gnomes hiding in the grass at Durban Stadium had tied his shoelaces together during his team’s opening game against Australia last week. An innocuous challenge from a defender did not seem enough to send him to the ground. Indeed, no foul was called. Instead, for his ruse, Özil was punished with a yellow card.
Özil’s tumble and Keita’s pantomime did not affect the outcome of either game; Germany and Brazil easily won their matches. But with so few games, and with goals at a premium at this World Cup (1.97 goals per game through the first 29 games, well below the low-water mark of 2.21 in 1990), an erroneously awarded penalty or unjust suspension could prove decisive.
In the Round of 16 at the World Cup in Germany four years ago, Italy and Australia were tied, 0-0, in added time. Italy’s Fabio Grosso rushed into the Australia penalty area and doubled over the lunging defender Lucas Neill. Italy was awarded a penalty kick, converted it for a 1-0 victory and went on to win the title. The penalty kick eliminated Australia.
“When he slid in, maybe I accentuated a little bit,” Grosso told Football Plus magazine in the spring. “I felt the contact, so I went down.”
According to FIFA’s Laws of the Game, “attempts to deceive the referee by feigning injury or pretending to have been fouled” are punishable by a yellow card. But it can be difficult at full speed, with only the naked eye and no video replay to consult, for a referee to spot the difference between a foul and a phantom.
The referee Koman Coulibaly whistled a foul in favor of United States forward Jozy Altidore in the 85th minute of the Americans’ 2-2 tie with Slovenia on Friday — awarding a free kick that led to a controversial disallowed goal — but replays showed that minimal contact occurred before Altidore crashed to the ground. Players know they are more likely to get away with it and tacitly condone the practice.
“Personally, I’m against any type of simulation; I don’t think it should be part of the game,” Alessandro Del Piero, a teammate of Grosso’s, said recently, before adding: “It went in Italy’s favor and I was happy. If it went against us, I would be upset.”
Del Piero and his countrymen were indeed upset in 2002 when Italy was knocked out of the World Cup in South Korea by the host team after Francesco Totti was ejected for a second yellow card after disingenuously trying to earn a free kick.
Referees say that it is difficult to penalize a player for simulation because it is akin to calling him dishonest.
“If you’re going to give a caution for simulation and there is contact,” Tamberino warned, “it has to be very obvious that he’s trying to cheat.”
Sometimes, simulation is so transparent that it more resembles vaudeville than world-class soccer.
In 2002, Rivaldo of Brazil was waiting to take a corner kick when Hakan Unsal of Turkey appeared to deliberately kick the ball at him when he was not looking. Rivaldo went down as if he had been shot, clutching his face, right in front of an assistant referee. Unsal was given a red card, signaling an ejection, but Rivaldo was embarrassed when video replay revealed his reaction to be an act. FIFA later fined him $7,350.
“Whether it be the big flop or the big groan, sometimes it’s comical,” Tamberino said. “You don’t like to laugh, but sometimes, you give a smile.”
Referees must be close to the play and have the right angle and clear vision to make the correct call. It requires good positioning and communication between the referee and his assistants, one on each sideline. Three years ago, FIFA started a referee assistance program to train officials to, among other things, spot dives. Before the World Cup, FIFA’s technical study committee provided referees and assistant referees with scouting reports, including video, that highlighted teams with a reputation for simulation.
Being a good diver may help a player get an occasional call, but when he earns a reputation as a cheat, it can be difficult to erase.
Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the fastest and most dangerous forwards, is often the target of deliberate fouls or the victim of overzealous defenders.
“Referees should protect the more skillful players when they are getting fouled by the opposition,” he said Tuesday after Portugal’s game with Ivory Coast. “Sometimes it is difficult for me when the referees give fouls because they think I dive.”
But they think that for good reason. Ronaldo was notorious for feigning when he was a young player. He was lethal on direct kicks, and he relished the chance to show off his ability to strike the ball from long range. But now that he has developed into one of the game’s most hardened players, who is often hacked mercilessly by slower, less-skilled defenders, he does not get many calls.
“They don’t protect talented footballers anymore,” said Carlos Queiroz, the coach of Portugal. “I’d like to see if the rules are the same for everybody.”
Players and referees say they know which players go down too easily, but they are reluctant to identify them.
“I’m anticipating all forwards are capable of doing that,” said the American defender Oguchi Onyewu, who at 6 feet 4 inches and 210 pounds is an easy mark for conniving forwards who exploit the perception that a bigger player fouls more often.
“I think referees are taking the proper measures now more so than in the past to eliminate that kind of exaggeration,” Onyewu said. “Giving the players themselves a card and not the defender.”
But defenders and forwards agree that diving will be hard to eradicate as long as players get away with it.
“You try to get the ref on your side and you hope that he can see through all of that,” said Jonathan Spector, a defender for the United States. “There’s only so much you can control in a game. The call was made. Just get on with it.” NY Times, 2010

Offside rule
Here's a little secret in the soccer world: No one really understands the offside rule. Not all the time, anyway. That became very clear during the first half of today's World Cup opener, when fans and pundits alike cried foul after the assistant referee lifted his flag just before Mexico's Carlos Vela slammed the ball into the net.
When showing replays, commentators pointed out and graphics demonstrated that there was a South Africa defender (it was Steven Pienaar, by the way) positioned on the back post, whom they claimed kept Vela onside.
It's true that Pienaar was there, and just behind Vela where he stood by the opposite post. But the relevant position was that of South Africa goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune, not Pienaar. Khune had run off his line to try to intercept the corner kick, leaving Pienaar as the last defender in front of the goal.
The offside rule reads that a player is offside if he is "nearer to his opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent" -- the last opponent typically being the goalkeeper. Usually when an attacking player runs past the "last defender," the goalkeeper remains in the net -- meaning the "last" defender is really the second-to-last defender.
In the case of Friday's game, the goalkeeper was not there behind the defense. The second Vela passed Khune in the middle of the box, he was offside, regardless of Pienaar's position at the post. It was an intelligent call from the referee and his assistant in a complicated demonstration of a complicated rule.
