What a weekend it will be soccer-wise!

What is going on-well, first, who is on Back of the Net from 7-8 am on Saturday on 99.9 the Fan? Christopher Dunn from Dunn Physical Therapy and Pilates will discuss the advantage of young athletes getting screened for potential bio-nechanical problems that might lead to injury and will talk about exercises to gain range of motion flexibility and or strength. Then Boston University women's head coach, Nancy Feldman will talk about the Women's World Cup which begins Sunday in Germany. Nancy will be at the games in Germany. The US plays Tuesday v Korea, Saturday 7/2 v Colombia and then 7/6 v Sweden in the opening round robin. The next guest will be former US National Team player, Bruce Murray, who will discuss the Gold Cup Final at the Rose Bowl...US v Mexico which is Saturday night at 9 pm on Fox Soccer Channel. The winner gets an invitation to the 2013 Confederations Cup in Brazil (1 year before the 2014 World Cup in Brazil). Lastly, Kupono Low from the Carolina Railhawks will talk about the amazing start his team has had and their game at Atlanta later Sunday.
Also, The USSF Academy Regionals will begin play today in Frisco, TX (Dallas suburb). CASL has both teams in the playoffs. The U18's are ranked #1 in the country and play tonight (7:30 pm CDT) against Concorde out of Atlanta. The U16's play on Saturday (11 am CDT) against the home standing FC Dallas squad. The U18s play Saturday (6 pm CDT) v Colorado Rush. I will be blogging at half time and at the end of each game in order for folks here to keep up with the games.
Also, I will be headed to Sweden with 120 CASL Challenge players on Monday. They will be playing in a tournament in Pitea, Sweden which is just south of the Arctic Circle on July 1-3. I will be blogging scores back to this blog. All teams play a late night game on 7/1 but not under the lights because of the midnight sun....should be cool, in more ways than one!
Lots going on, ENJOY!
