It was my test account on here to tinker with features as a non-Admin.
edit: Off to bed for now, Stevie Ireland and I have been working on this off and on, all day. Need to get some rest.
Take a look around and let me know if there is anything else you'd suggestion. Suggestion Box at the bottom portion of this board under " Trainer's Room "

USA-Mexico in English for all
If you were beginning to worry about being able to see the USA-Mexico World Cup qualifier on August 12th in English, it appears your fears are about to subside.
NBC Universal, parent company of Telemundo, is offering all cable and satellite providers free access to Mun2, the channel set to show the USA-match at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City. The free access will be for the day of the match.
If your cable/satellite provider still won't be offering Mun2, you can still get the English-language feed to the game on Telemundo using the SAP function.
A collective *sigh* echo's across the nation
, good job NBC!

I may switch back and forth after each goal jsut to hear the reaction on both sides. The commentating is rarely objective in the matches!

If only I knew more Spanish.
I enjoy the passion much more but I can only pick out a few words here and there. Ah well, I remember several foreign exchange students saying they learned English from television.
Perhaps if I watched enough Spanish Commentary I'll pick it up, over time.

Obama receives World Cup invitation
When FIFA's president personally meets with the President of the United States, you know soccer is growing in this country.
That's what happened on Monday as FIFA President Sepp Blatter ended his four-day tour of the United States by paying a visit to the White House. Blatter personally signed a certificate inviting President Barack Obama and his family to the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Obama couldn't guarantee that he would attend, but said he would check to see when it would be possible for him to go to South Africa.
The two presidents also spoke about the United States' bid for the 2018 or 2022 World Cup.
Everything seemed to go well from the FIFA article I read, except the fact that Blatter keeps insisting on us adopting a European schedule, someone take this man to Chicago in December.

Blatter is the A-typical old man, set in his ways and believes he's right simply based off his own experiences.
As you've mentioned, I highly doubt he's ever visted here in the midst of December of Janurary and further more, ever watched a game outside for 90 minutes in said conditions, which still leaves the game to be played on frozen grass and snow.
Ah well, he like the American public, are making baby-steps towards improvement in the understanding of the game as a whole, with our country and within it, as well.

not to mention Norway, Sweden, or Switzerland. Even in Turin, Italy it snows every winter at a game.
