Welcome

Welcome

Soccer perhaps is the one true global game. It has also been my passion from an early age. Playing soccer, watching soccer, learning about soccer.

This blog will chronicle the sport. From an American -specifically New York- perspective I will cover everything I can: MLS, European leagues, South American leagues, the Champions League, Copa Libertadores, and the international game.

If you are reading this and have any suggestions, commentaries or advise, please feel free to post.
