The don't call it "the Beautiful Game" for nothing. Soccer is art. A great Lionel Messi goal or a stunning David Beckham free kick is a thing of beauty.

These small moments in soccer can create life-long fans of the sport (with the help of a beer or two, perhaps?) and the memories of such sporting excellence can hang in our memories like fine art in a gallery.

The mission is as simple as it is admirable: "scoring goals on the field, and achieving their goals in life."� The non-profit organization Street Soccer USA believes in the beautiful game's power to promote social change.

This week, Street Soccer USA's NYC Cup competition hits the Big Apple!

Street Soccer USA is designed to assist men, women, and youth of all ages who lack permanent housing. The SSUSA model brings builds relationships of trust through the constant supportive community of the team.

75% of players� will move off the street within a year of joining the program.

TSG has your back!

Editor's note:

The Beautiful Game series explores how soccer makes a difference around the globe.

As you watch the Euros and CONCACAF qualifying there are those in your community using the galvanizing force that is the game of soccer to have an impact on people's lives who need it.

A wonderful day to remember and thank everyone that cares about you, makes you better, helps you out.

A happy Thanksgiving to you. A few motion pics here that just seemed appropriate for the day and sentiment.
