Fashionably Football

Soccer actually is a term that was used to shorten "association  football" by an-ex Sheff Wednesday player from the UK (presumably England). That slang got used so much that it stuck when English immigrants to the US used it and the Americans picked up on it  when the sport arrived with them. Already the World Cup has seen many interesting matches so far. But what about the uniforms? I found a site that shows the history of what each team that qualified for Brazil has worn every time they have participated ion a World Cup. In the mean time, a schedule for today and tomorrow are readily available.

For more regarding the schedule, the MLS has it readily available. I am very interested to see if there will be a good place around town that is not Mes Que on Hertel Ave. in Buffalo. I will go there for one of the other two USA games and (if their doing so) Conlon's Bar and Grill on Abbott Rd. in South Buffalo for the remaining of the three. Enjoy this tournament while it's around . . .
