Taking in my first Orlando City soccer match tonight, vs West Brom.

If you're not going w the family, take a trip down to the end and hang out with the Ruckus for a bit. They're awesome

(if you're looking down from the top of the stairs they're on the right side, ILF is on the left)

We are hosting OCSC for a friendly next month, I have already been promised by the club's communications director that I will get to meet Kaka for all the work I've put in to help the club. I cannot wait!!!

FIFA VP Jeffrey Webb has agreed to extradition and flew to the US last night with three DOJ agents. He was handed over last night. I have a feeling he's going to cop a deal and turn states evidence on everyone.

Hope so. Then we'll see just how good this relationship is and if we can get rid of Sepp.

[Seeitsaveit13]

Dempsey!

Looking good. The rest of the Cuban team may defect at halftime

What's the Gold Cup?

[Seeitsaveit13]

Tournament for all of the nations in the CONCACAF. Determines the CONCACAF representative at the Confederations cup as well.

[shel311]

What's the Confederation's Cup? And do both of these Cups take place every year?

[Uuaww]

What's the Confederation's Cup? And do both of these Cups take place every year?

no gold cup is every 2 years. confederations cup is every 4... the year right before the world cup.

It involves 8 teams.

Host for the next WC (Russia)
Last WC Winner (Germany)
UEFA champion
CAF Champion
CONCACAF Champion
CONMEBOL Champion (Chile)
AFC Champion (Australia)
OFC Champion (New Zealand)

And it's big for two reasons:

1) It's a dry-run of the World Cup, so the nations that attend get a leg up on everyone else in regards to venues, planning, travel arrangement, etc
2) It's an international tournament one year before WC and gives you more time to evaluate our team leading into final qualifiers

C'mon Costs Rica! Hang in there!
