Kaka conducts the greatest Q & A session in the history of soccer (Dirty Tackle)
Iranian football has its own regional rivalries.
The haters of Miami as a soccer town were out in full force last week as it was announced that
fewer than 6800 tickets had been sold for the USA vs Honduras game to be played at Sun Life
Stadium. The game hadn't even been played yet and already they were bashing.
In the end over 21,000 showed up on a wet night to watch the United states defeat Honduras 1-0
thanks to a wonderful goal by Clint Dempsey.
Back in 2009 my seatmates and I decided that the four of us would have five seats. We did this
to take girlfriends/wives, but also with the knowledge that we could expose some friends to the

now watch the matches on TV come to a few games a year and generally enjoy the sport.
I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the final of the UEFA Champions League will be on FOX
