HARRISON, NJ - The New York Red Bulls played their first official MLS game at brand new Red Bulls Arena in Harrison, NJ on March 27 against the Chicago Fire. Before arriving at the game, spectators may not have heard about all the new amenities of the state of the art, $200 million stadium, but then again, those in attendance had trouble hearing anything through the rampant cheers of the Red Bulls faithful.

It's easy to say that Puerto Rico and soccer don't go together as well as peanut butter and jelly, but members of the Hofstra Pride soccer team are looking to change that reputation.

Hofstra's sophomore goalkeeper Greg Cumpstone started playing "the beautiful game" at age 7 out of a sibling rivalry with his older brother. "We were a similar age so everything back then was a competition," Cumpstone said. "I wanted to be better than him, but I also looked up to him and wanted to follow in his footsteps a bit."

On Friday, December 4th, an estimated 200 million pairs of eyes and ears glued themselves to Cape Town, South Africa for the 2010 FIFA World Cup draw, where the thirty-two teams that qualified for this prestigious event discovered who they will play during the first group stage beginning on June 11th, 2009.
