Indoor Soccer In Dallas.

WatchThis past weekend I traveled to Montreal to support my @ChicagoFire for their first game of the 2012 season and the first MLS home game of Montreal Impact.
Before we, Section 8 Chicago, were allowed into the stadium, we waited outside the concrete walls of Stade olympique where chants were sung in excitement for the match.

Sometime during the run-up to the 1996 Presidential election, a Republican political advisor named Alex Castellanos told a reporter from the Washington Post that incumbent Bill Clinton was going after a newly identified demographic of American voters called “soccer moms.” Middle-class, suburban, and constantly on the go in her loaded Dodge Caravan, the Soccer Mom represented a...

What happened to that really little girl with the...
Or how about that girl on your middle school squad who rolled her shorts one too many times? Ever wonder what happened to the girls who you have played with in the past?
