Springfield MO Soccer

Pretty good week coming up folks.

The US Men’s National team has a pair of games this week. The first on Wednesday against Spain, followed by the game against current World #1 Argentina in Giant’s Stadium. I’m aware of a few folks headed East for that game, hopefully we’ll have some soccer adventure stories to share with you afterwards.

The European Championships open on Saturday. If you are unfamiliar with these games, the best description is that it’s the European mini-World Cup, as the rest of the world watches the European national teams battle for bragging rights before they face off in the final World Cup qualifying for South Africa 2010.

As always, I’ve added all of the games to my Soccer Calendar so go subscribe or pick your favorites and add them to your calendar, it’s a simple as clicking and downloading the info for import into your calendar.

I’ll also be adding Events to my SGFsoccer.com Facebook Page for key games which for me includes any game with Sweden! I see there’s already one guy who’s planning on watching the two opening games at Coester’s on Saturday. Hosts Switzerland face off against the Czech Republic at 11am and Portugal face Turkey at 1:45 pm.

Remember, the best place in Springfield to enjoy the World’s game with fellow fans is at Coester’s, located at 631 S Kimbrough, just West of the MSU Basketball stadium.

And I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention there are a pair of Springfield Demize home games on Friday and Saturday this week. I’ll be back with more details tomorrow.
