Here we go...

I love soccer.  It's an obsession that started with rec leagues as a kid, grew with FIFA 99 for PC, and reached its ultimate peak when the US national team played in my home state this past spring.  Needless to say, that night was a religious experience.

The thing is... you, reader... don't give a shit in the slightest.  I'm probably another random college graduate who lives with his parents and claims to know a thing or two about a sport--one that he loves but sucked horribly at in high school.  He's going to make this flashy blog and post it daily on every social networking site under the sun.  He's simply going to copy and paste articles from actual news sites and provide three sentences of stereotypical and uninteresting "insight" on mindless media banter.

The first part is right, I guess.  But I'm not going to just follow what other sites and blogs are doing... keeping up with every piece of hard news that comes out.  I will, but this blog won't.  I don't even read blogs.  I'm simply going to talk about whatever I feel like.  I care very much about soccer, especially in this country.  It's an exciting time to be an American soccer fan right now, and I have lots to say.  The existence of this blog is in part a result of having few around me that will listen for that long.

I don't know how often I'm going to update this.  I'm shooting for a few times a week, but who knows what this might turn out to be?  I never got into the whole blogging thing, and quite frankly, I'm going to need a bit of help designing this whole thing.

We'll be in touch.
