Hope Solo and Steve Nash preview the Cascadia Cup match on FIFA12. Nash tells Solo that all she does is stand around in front of the goal. Solo asks Nash how is Sociology degree is doing.

Since the game tries to be accurate Seattle wins.

This year's Showdown in Chinatown event featured an All-Star roster that raised funds for The Steve Nash Foundation and its work with underserved children.

So last night there was an afterparty in NYC for Steve Nash's Showdown in Chinatown. To my pleasure and surprise, 30 Rock's Judah Friedlander was there and talking soccer. Dude was all high on the Freddy Adu pass and Tim Howard's general badassness but thought overall the Yanks played poorly.

NEW YORK - Ask Steve Nash who's the toughest competitor he's ever faced, and answer is at once obvious and amazing: Michael Jordan.

It's that time of year again. The time when the giraffes from the NBA do battle against the best soccer players Vancouver Whitecaps co-owner Steve Nash --which is how he will be referred to from now on-- can muster in a park below Houston St. in NYC.

Marcin Gortat suffered a broken nose against the New Orleans Hornets this weekend in a freak accident on the court.

I get a lot of emails and comments from people that want help getting onto an MLS team.

I have no idea what to do.

but I did a tiny bit of research and found this:
