I am waking up... it's just that games in the middle of the night are rough on those of us who have jobs!

Red Eye, there are plenty of us who are passionate about soccer in this country. It is true that the majority of Americans will never "get it", but that doesn't matter. Americans are SPORTS fans, not just one SPORT. Last week we had the NBA finals, the Stanley Cup finals (we didn't invent hockey!), the U.S. Open Golf championship, and the Mets-Yankees had a "subway series" (which I also attended!). We are passionate about all these and other sports, including ones where we participate instead of simply watching.

Soccer will have it's place in this culture, it the number of fans are growing along with the number of youth playing the sport.

We are celebrating!!
