Soccer!
I really do try to curb my personal enthusiasm for the world's game, but it's hard to do so. My posting here figures on a couple things: the arrival of (a hobbled) David Beckham has energized a certain, casual fanbase of sports fans towards the game; and the possible (even probable) granting of an MLS franchise to St. Louis has added to the soccer discussion locally. (Seems that there's been more soccer coverage in the P-D in the last week than in the last year.)
I fairly regularly head up to OB Clark's in Brentwood to see games, in a communal setting, extra necessary as I lack cable. Here's the rundown of some games upcoming. Because the I-40 construction is going to be running hot this weekend, find your way there through the backdoor:
