Love the new advert for the upcoming edition of FIFA Street that Vice shot. Sh*t's vibrant, lively and captures the essence of the street game around the world. Also it uses "Crache La Douleur" by Fanga & Tony Allen; nothing like a little Afro-beat niceness to make me feel good about a game that disappointed last time around.

Hello everybody. It's that time again. Time for us to discuss all things soccer in the latest SBI Live Q&A.

With the U.S. men's national team set to play a pair of friendlies, the MLS season hitting the playoff stretch drive, the college season getting underway and the European club season having already gotten into full swing, it's a good time to catch up on all these topics and more.

It's SBI Live Q&A Time.

Time for you to send your soccer-related (and pop culture) questions my way and time for me to answer as many questions as I can over the next few hours.

There's plenty to talk about. Jurgen Klinsmann, the U.S. men's national team, the MLS playoff race, college soccer, European soccer.

Today CONCACAF World Cup qualifying starts for 19 more national associations in the confederation, with matches going on from Toronto to Georgetown. (Or is Paramaribo further south?)

The SPANISH FOOTBALL NATIONAL TEAM managed to comeback & defeat a difficult CHILE 3 - 2 tonight in an International Friendly played in Geneva ( Switzerland).

The local conspiracy theorists are celebrating as news from Brazil has given a "face" to the lengthened dark shadow over Brazilian & SANTOS player NEYMAR.

There are no surprises to the top positions with FC BARCELONA first placed followed by REAL MADRID.
