I saw most of my youth group, Grades 9-12, get beat by a bunch of 8-12 year olds, it was great. I think we need to have more Soccer related activities and whatnot here in the U.S., it is , in my opinion, one of the most athletic sports out there.

Yes, it's a pity it's not more popular in the States. I still can't believe Beckham left Europe to go play over there, they must've paid him a shit load of money, cause no sensible player would have left the Premiership to play for LA. Galaxy x)

Football!

And I agree, Urawa Red Diamonds for teh win!

for teh win, indeed

Been playing soccer all my life, I'll be finishing my last year at University this spring and if all goes according to plan I'll find myself in Tokyo this time next year.

How does someone new to the area get involved in soccer programs in Tokyo? I love playing the sport and I'm not half bad, maybe you know a team...?

Yup Freiburg is located in the federal state Baden-Württemberg ^^
Bundesliga is cool, isnt it? But Great Britains premier league is better, they play harder soccer
