Chase Hilgenbrinck, a defender from the New England Revolution’s has quite his team to join the priesthood. The Revolution’s have just won Group B of the 2008 North America SuperLiga against Santos Laguna (who are the current winners of the Mexican Championships).

Your idea of summer might be different, but what’s better than kicking around a soccer ball to pass the time away. Some of my best memories were of just having fun in the parks of France playing with local kids. Though, they always seemed to be better than me.
Some people have said that soccer is a children’s sport and that it shouldn’t be played professionally. Yeah, well **** them! Soccer needs to emerge in North America from a children’s sport into the global craze that it is!
Let me know what great summer fun means to you?

This time french people were able to see an exhibition game in Paris at the St. Denis Stadium. Most of the original players attended, like Zinedine Zidane who has been keeping himself busy with his favourite charities.
