Yet another call for MLS to switch to European calendar

So Joseph Blatter made a slightly less questionable pronouncement last week by repeating his call for Major League Soccer to switch to a European calendar. I wrote a long piece earlier this year explaining the reasons why MLS won't, and to be honest shouldn't. I am not sure that a person like Blatter truly appreciates the challenges that a fall-to-spring MLS would face, from weather to pitches to media, and when he says that such a move would improve the popularity of the sport in this country, I find it challenging to believe that he knows what he is talking.

Ya lo sabe (y lo expone) Antoni Muntadas, el artista catalán que reconoce "el estadio, que nos viene de los romanos y los griegos, está destinado a una cultura popular.

The locker room that the first team uses comes complete with the hot and cold tubs right there, personalized showers and personal televisions above every locker.

Quería iniciar mi primer escrito del año con algo relacionado al concepto de mujer y futbol, por ello se me vino a la mente tomar un poco de una investigación que realicé hace unos meses sobre la influencia del futbol en la sociedad, la cual me dio a conocer que en el mundo, según estadísticas de la FIFA, 40 millones de mujeres practican soccer, ya sea de manera profesional o amateur.
