UNA FC, Forbes.com, and Buddle vs Gomez

UNA Students Establish A Soccer Club

University of North Alabama FC was established last fall. Yep, that FC as in Futbol Club. UNA students AJ Santos and Loic Dimithe established the club as an outlet for UNA students to play the sport they love. UNA does not have a men's soccer program, but UNA FC hopes to take on other collegiate club teams soon. UNA FC is recognized by the University and is open to male and female students of all skill level players, the best of which will fill out the competitive roster.


My Favorite New Soccer Website, Forbes.com. Huh?

Forbes.com has been publishing some very interesting articles in the past week. The first is a very detailed article on ESPN's coverage of the World Cup. Later this week, it published its list of most valuable teams. Included on that page are links to other interesting rankings, such as highest earners list of players and soccer's billionaire owners.


Buddle vs Gomez

Both Edson Buddle and Herculez Gomez are tearing it up as the World Cup approaches. With the thin talent pool in that position on the US National Team, there peaking at just the right time to catch Bob Bradley's eye. Here's a video of their recent goals, along with some highlights of Alejandro Bedoya who is also a contention for a spot on the team.

  1. I'll take whoever wins in a foot race. Both seem to rely on good service and both seem to lose their marks pretty well.
