These past few weeks have been a roller coaster if you follow the US National Soccer team. From the great upset against Spain and then the heartbreak loss against Brazil in the FIFA cup the sport has taken on new enthusiasm than it has over the past 10 years. Many of the teams gear and jerseys are on sale with the success of the local players and the popularity of the Major Soccer League. Soccer is one sport that more and more kids are playing and we are now starting to see that talent at the professional level. In the NW we have the Seattle Sounders which have created a whole new fan base and are selling out their games each and every week. The US National team is making waves as the younger players are stepping up and the veteran players are helping them out on the big stage.
The US has been slow to adopt soccer but we are catching up to the rest of the world. I have never been a fan of sports jerseys for soccer or any other sport but this year I will be buying a US team jersey to help cheer on them on next year as they play in the 2010 World Cup. The largest sporting event in the world. I have always played soccer from when I was young and through high school and now I have the chance to coach my kids and we sit down and watch the Sounders or the National team and they really enjoy watching the game played at the higher level and then try and use the same moves that see in the games in their own games. Soccer is becoming a very popular sport here in the US and the gear and clothing is more widely available so that almost anyone can learn to play or at least dress like you know how to play the game.
