The one-day soccer clinic is open to both boys and girls aged four to fourteen years old. Admission is free of charge. This much-awaited event will be held at the Spry stadium this Sunday from 5 to 6 p.m. Participants are advised to bring their own drinking water and soccer ball.
After the hour-long session, the Wake Forest team players will be signing autographs for fans while season game tickets will be offered at discounted rates.
The Walt Chyzowych Memorial Fund Soccer Clinic was started by Ralph Lundy in 1995. It is held in a different state every year to commemorate the great contributions of Walt Chyzowych (known as "a pioneer for American collegiate coaches") to the nation's soccer education program.

Soccer... While the sport is gaining in popularity in the US, most Americans aren't very in to soccer. And, well, I'm an American. Soccer is something I pay attention to mostly during the World Cup.
I was on vacation at the beach, but I did watch the USA v. Ghana game. Kevin-Prince Boateng and Asamoah Gyan each scored goals for Ghana to beat the US 2-1. Gyan knocked in his goal from 92 feet out. The USA has never made it to the round of 16 before. Maybe in 2014 we'll beat Ghana (or whoever we draw for that game) and move up a round.
I'm still following World Cup coverage. I have some German friends that seem to be hoping their team beats Argentina this weekend (Schland... Schland... Schland...).
They are emotionally more involved because at the last World Cup in 2006 they were very close to win the trophy. They lost at the Semifinals against Italy with 0:2. If you ask me, I think that the Germans will win this time. Some soccer-fans are thinking of good World Cup 2010 Odds and place their bet to show how much they trust in Germany.
Me? Almost as soon as the USA-Ghana game was over I went back to worrying about the next NASCAR race...

In order to win, you have to participate. And wouldn't we rather be the winner than have a friend or family member hit the lucky stream? How many times do we go off into dreamland spending the big jackpot we won? If you are like me then you have probably never even given a second thought to financial management.
Yet how many stories have we read about how money does not buy happiness? How many big winners squander or lose everything a couple of years later?
If you are lucky enough to make the jackpot, think about getting an accredited financial team behind you to help you manage your money. One million dollars sounds like a lot of money but when the taxman takes a chunk of that, when you pay all your outstanding bills, all you have left is the money for a nice house………no luxury cars, luxury vacations, luxury boat, housekeepers, gardeners….just a nice house.
Safeguard your winnings by seeking qualified financial help when you win big. Put your ticket in a safe place and make a plan of action. This should include changing your phone number before all you best friend's forever start to call.

Shine 2010 - 2010 World Cup good news
Argentina is still holding its own as a prediction favorite for winner. Many people believe that Argentina's only down fall this year comes in the form of national manager Diego Maradona. Others stand by Brazil. Yet, others believe the win should go to an African team.
Then there are others who stand by their own country in a solid wall of patriotism, no matter how bad the team sucks. Of course that is what these games are all about. Putting aside our differences and joining together with people from all over the world at the same time, to cheer.
No matter whose side you are on I hope that you are satisfied by your team's efforts, whether they win or lose. At this point, eleven days in, it's still anybody's game. Anybody except Tunisia of course!

World Cup 2010
on June 17, 2010
Reactionary Spanish fans have been blaming football presenter Sara Carbonero for their side's surprise defeat to Switzerland yesterday. The favourites slipped to be equal on odds with Brazil after an uninspired display throughout by the attackers in the final third (until, at least, Fernando Torres came on) during a game in which only Xabi Alonso came close to scoring. They are blaming the "sexiest journalist in the world" for one reason - she is Iker Casillas' girlfriend.

Only the Spanish team's over-confidence and tactical howlers on the part of del Bosque are to blame. The fans, however, have refused to buy this and are jumping to scapegoat Carbonero, who asked her boyfriend on live TV after the match, "how did you manage to muck it up?". The Spanish team typically have not been allowed to take WAGs with them to international tournaments, and for this reason fans all over the internet have suggested that Casillas' mind may be on "other things". The English team have, before this tournament, been allowed to take their wives and girlfriends with them, so clearly this ridiculous attitude stems from a lack of understanding that the players can cope having women nearby. To say that Casillas was "distracted" is a very backward attitude.
It comes down to only one thing, when the defence were caught off guard and couldn't cope who would you rather have in nets? A keeper used to playing behind a first-team back-line which cost almost €75 million to amass, or the goalie who remains on the bench despite co-winning the Premier League golden glove in a season where his club's defenders were beyond mediocre?
