And it comes to a close
I know I’m a few days late, but I was not impressed with this MLS cup. People are talking about how great and “best” this LA Galaxy team is. I’m thinking far from it. It has taken 3 years under the “Beckham Experiment,” as SI Soccer Analyst Grant Wahl put it, to finally get the MLS Cup final victory (they were there before but ended up losing to Real Salt...

Teaser!
**UPDATE** Give me another day or so…
Just thought I would put up a teaser post that tomorrow (well since it is 1am, I could say today, but I haven’t gone to bed yet) I will probably sit down and really put in my thoughts on soccer and life in general. It is amazing to me the stories of soccer that are spoken about the players that aren’t in the spotlight, or without a contract...
I always find it interesting that everyone immediately chooses the Spanish teams in all competitions. Seems to be the Germans had been reloading and I think this is their time to start shining! Bayern Munich has a good squad put together and the German National team flew through Euro 2012 qualifying being the first country to qualify for the finals…with another young squad! Here’s to...

VCU's Ironic 4:0 Win
Ok so I haven’t posted in almost a month. In that time it was the end of a summer class the start of fall classes, an earthquake, a hurricane, and the end of the Kickers season. But VCU’s 4:0 win over Elon today had me thinking.
VCU was able to pick up a 4:0 win with goals coming from an own goal by Elon, Jason Johnson, Yoram Mwila, and Jose Carlos Castillo. This was a good outing...

Fest Success...Now for the Road
The Kickers walked away Saturday after a 3:0 win over Dayton in front of a record breaking 4742 fans and with the 2011 Family Fest. William Yomby got on the scoresheet first with a 24th minute shot from a cross by Nozomi Hiroyama. 6 minutes later the dangerous Matthew Delicâte heads in a cross from Stanley Nyazamaba. Nyazamba had to cut 3 times on his way towards the end line to get the cross...
Richmond Kickers Final Home Match
The season is nearing the end. It has been an incredible time I have spent with this club running it’s social media for this season. I feel like I have made the best of my time and wish it didn’t have to end.
The team itself has not seen it’s best for lately, most recently dropping 3 points at Pittsburgh, but they return home to close out the season versus the Dayton Dutch...

Pretty interesting read so far. I did notice that they mention former Manchester United player and former RICHMOND KICKER HEAD COACH Dennis Violett which I thought was kinda cool. Has anyone else read this?

Behind in the times
I think I have an idea on why soccer is not progressing in the United States as it should. That reason…technology. After looking at many youth club websites today I realized how behind in technology the soccer society is. Most of the websites I looked at today, looked like they are keeping the geocities theme. There’s one step for the progression of soccer in the United States.

Soccer and Sociology
Being a sociology major has really started to make me realize the connection between soccer and sociology. I think it is crazy how much of the sport can be viewed by a sociological perspective.
Something tells me that if I do not get to where I want to be in the soccer world, that I may go into doing research on the subject and go from there. Soccer is not a passion, it is a lifestyle.

Hmmm....
There are many times where I sit around just thinking. I have thought about what to do in my life and things like that. Working today at the Richmond Kickers it dawned on me…I really do want a job in soccer. There is no way around it. Soccer is something that drives my thought process. I think that the blog will be a shift from newsy kind of stuff to being more my thoughts on soccer and...
