I happened to notice a post at The Best Eleven about soccer players who rap. I knew Clint Dempsey was into rap, but never heard his stuff. It’s not bad, although he’s no longer doing it anymore from what I’ve heard. And in case you didn’t know, I’m also into writing and producing music! Continue reading
I came across an article titled “How Soccer is Ruining America” and was quite astonished after reading it.

Another possible way we could help increase the number of goal scoring opportunities is by limiting the amount of players allowed in a wall during free kicks. Continue reading
