For the Soccer fans of the board..US v Mex report from C-bus

[Iron Shiek]

We'll almost always be the "oddballs" on the field because more non-Americans embrace and play the sport than do Americans. And really, most of my post high school playing (in highly competitive rec leagues and such) was played with other fellow Europeans (so I'm a half-"outcast") on my team, playing against Mexicans, Jamaicans, and others...

Not in Fairfax County, VA. Soccer is king there. In some places you'll see 10 year olds practicing on a million dollar grass turf field and a junior high football team practicing on a middne ridden natural field which is half the size.

Wow, that is a great image. I should move there! Sounds great.

Umm, that should say mud not 'middne'. I must have been speaking dutch there for a second.
