Would anyone be interested in a bracket challenge for the World Cup? For some reason I think it might work with this group.
Please welcome the newest Hooligan, Silas Joseph Fredrick!

2010 mls draft
Well DII got shafted again in the MLS 2010 draft. This borders on the irresponsible. Ogie, did you watch today? Fort Lewis could beat 80% of the DI schools in the country and guys were drafted today that couldn't even start for FLC.. Trust me I have actually seen some of these players in action. If FLC doesn't step up or DII doesn't start raising hell then good luck recruiting. If MLS scouts aren't at the elite 8 or the finals in DII then "houston we have a propblem". FLC has been in or a part of the National run 3 out of last 4 years if i remember correctly. We cannot continue to be a top soccer power without support at next level. What are we to do??? All we see is.........well I hope the tide turns and great players aren't standing on sideline.
Way too much time in the Offseason
I'd like to start by saying 2009-2010 sports season my have been the best of my life as a fan. Not only did the Fort run the table, but my University of Alabama Crimson Tide ended our 17 year painful dry run and claimed the whole damn thing too.
I am in Tampa currently and met up with an old friend of mine who played right back for Tampa the past few seasons. In speaking with him and fellow former/current UT soccer players, they loved watching the Fort play due to the style and fluid nature of our game. They wish they could of pulled their heads out against Lees McCrae in the Elite 8, I told them I would let them see a national championship ring if they really wanted to. read more »
Moving on Up!
VfB Stuttgart ascending the table! Win 4-1 over Borussia Dortmund http://soccernet.espn.go.com/match?id=273140&cc=5901
Watch out Barcelona!
Totally sick
This is totally lame and inappropriate, but it would be nice to know the schedule for some of the RMAC scrimmages and 6x6 contests going on in Denver this spring. There may be a need to get in pre-season fan form, you know.
Gay Yuletide to all
Happy holidays and happy new year to all helms and hooligans! See you helms in Durango on 2-20-10!

Where's our Song?
I watched Green Street Hooligans the other night and with a few empty Newcastles clattering beside me and the recent FLC National Championship Victory still fresh in my mind, I had a strange sort of epiphany. First off, it's a pretty good movie, and any fan of the English Premier League should give it a good watch through, but watching all of the thug fans (and "fan" seems a huge understatement), I realized that they had a very significant West Ham Theme Song. And I thought, "where the hell is our song?" Any team who has two National Championships and two National Runner's Up's in the last ten years needs a quality theme song. I apologize in advance if anyone feels that we already do have a song, but if we do, I don't know it and the kind of song read more »
