REAL DONOVAN

Soccer America is also widely known. They may not be as popular as Mexico and Europe but they are on their way to the top. They organized a league, the Major League Soccer (MLS) in 1993 and have fourteen teams in the U.S and Canada.
They are slowly making a name most especially that David Beckham is already a part in one of the teams, the LA Galaxy. This has been a big issue since Beckham is from Europe and accepted the deal from his current team. In the World Cup 2006 fans are somewhat disappointed thinking that the team lacks determination but MLS worked hard on it and is stating to be competitive and heard in the soccer nation.
It has improved since 2003 and players have been aggressive on the game. Fans are getting more passionate as well and supportive. All clubs under MLS are really talented and perform well. There might not be enough teams and clubs in soccer America but they are planning to expand in 2010, fans surely would be glad.
MLS have a big plan and surely they would compete with other popular leagues. They been focusing of trainings and searching for potential players so that they can be comparable to other European and other soccer nation even though they have been through ups and downs yet they have survived.
In 2010 they are planning big and will be finishing a stadium in Philadelphia. Fans can't wait to cheer and sing their heart out for the upcoming events.
From bars to the set of the hit television show Friends, many people have seen the level of excitement that foosball can bring. The question is how many people realize that this popular game is a mirror image of soccer.
When you look down on the foosball game, you see that you have the players dressed in their soccer strip standing over a green field. Both of the goal holes that you are trying to knock the ball into, resemble the goals you find in soccer and even the tiny white ball looks like a soccer ball.
With these popular tables found in so many places and even popular tournaments in the United States, the question is why don't more people get into soccer? Well, the answer isn't as easy as you might like to believe.
American Football, Baseball and Basketball are the three most popular games in the United States. In fact, they are so popular that advertisers spend billions of dollars in advertising each year. These games draw in audiences that are in the multimillion ranges and there are sports channels that are devoted to them.
Each of these popular sports draws in unique crowds. For example, many families tend to take their young children to baseball. This sport has been established as the great American past time for generations. This is one of the reasons that it has become so popular. Football in turn is a highly competitive sport in the United States. From high school sports to college and even professional, many people have a direct connection with either playing the sport, or being close to someone that does. Basketball in turn is very similar.
This direct link to the childhoods and familiarity has quickly made these three sports standout for so many people. Since they span across the entire year, there is no break available for a new sport to join in the realm. This is one of the reasons why soccer hasn't increased in popularity.
In connection with this, the lack of popularity has also stemmed too little to no television time being directed towards this sport. Since a majority of US based teams play their season during the fall, they are up against the football juggernaut. Since this is a big drive for sports networks, soccer again is put to the bottom of the stack and other areas are focused on instead.
With all this in mind, foosball can be played at any point and time. This table unit doesn't take away from watching the big game on the screen. Instead, it is a low impact time passer that we can use to challenge our friends and enjoy a couple of beers playing at a bar.
