Football is a game that transcends borders and boundaries. It is a common reference point that stretches beyond political and social divides, giving a common language to people of all nationalities, creeds, colours, gender, wealth and philosophical outlooks. The way in which football breaks down these barriers is not through the sport itself, but through the ordinary people who follow it. The football fans.
Football fans are the lifeblood of the game. The fans provide the atmosphere, the market, the financing, the publicity and even the participants. It is only right that football fans' role in the sport should be celebrated.
Conceived over a year ago, the International Football Fan Day campaign celebrates football fans’ timeless devotion to the sport, which overcomes social, cultural and political barriers. A worldwide vote to determine the date of International Football Fan Day will be held on Hinch.as, where clubs, players and fans meet online to suggest and discuss their greatest football milestones within the 100% football environment the social network provides.
There are more than 200 suggested dates so far, including classic games, breath-taking plays, unforgettable goals and saves, an idol’s birthday or a social need the sport has fulfilled. Clubs, players and fans are invited to nominate the most memorable moments from the sport they love and vote to choose the date to celebrate their passion. What date would you pick?
Among the many players to have voted so far are Andrés Iniesta, Dani Alves and Falcao. This day isn't just about the stars though. Your vote is as important as their's and counts equally.
The vote to choose International Football Fans Day will run until 7 November 2014.

Futsal in England
Futsal is one of the fastest growing sports in England so RBB thought we would check it out. When we heard that the England national side were playing against Switzerland in Hereford we thought this was as good a time as any... but hold on, what is Futsal?
Well according to the fountain of knowledge that is Wikipedia it is an indoor game played with five players on each side, over two twenty minute halves, with a smaller heavier ball and hockey sized goals at the end of a basket ball sized pitch. In other words it’s the closest thing to indoor football going. There is no annoying head high rule, any player can go anywhere and there is no wall along the pitch perimeter to turn the beautiful game into pinball like normal 5-a-side. For those of you hack merchants thinking this game sounds fun it requires a high level of technical skill and tactics play a large role in team set-up. Also there is no running time down in Futsal as the clock stops every time the ball leaves the playing area. Right - got all that?
The game has long been established throughout the world with professional leagues - the likes of Barcelona have their own team - World and European championships, and professional players moving around the globe to ply their trade. If you're wondering if anyone actually takes this as seriously as we're suggesting then have a look at Falcao plying his trade for Brazil and you will be left in no uncertainty at the level of ability, athleticism, and professionalism required at the top of Futsal.
