Soccer Boss: 6/2/13

Thank You Fans!

Some incredible effort has gone into producing the fantastic atmosphere I enjoy every week at Puma matches. Orchestrated cheering, handmade commemorative pins, understanding ears to listen to my constant moaning and groaning about poor plays, wasted set pieces, a heavy telephoto lens or poor lighting conditions and most of all tons and tons of love have made the weekly matches a key part of my life. I also want to acknowledge the amount of effort that went into Man of the Match and Player of the Month awards last night (thank you for packing gift bags, making commemorative certificates, and collecting votes)- no other club in the PDL has a set of fans as fantastic as these fans at the Kitsap Pumas!

After a hard start to the season with five games on the road, the Kitsap Pumas fully kicked off the 2013 campaign with their first home game at Gordon Field.

The Soccer Boss

When I was eight years old, I watched my first professional soccer match. I don't remember much, but I know it was an EPL match most likely featuring my stepdad's beloved Liverpool FC and I know that I was very bored watching twenty-two men run back and forth and keep missing the goal. I understood the concept of soccer, I had played since I was six but watching was a whole other story. Now, eight years up the road, I can't go a day without watching or playing soccer. Soccer is my world. Everything I know today is soccer. My friends, my family, my school schedule, revolve around soccer. Eight years later, a hobby has turned into an obsession, a curiosity has turned into a craving for more knowledge on the game and a simple result from a weekend fixture will dictate my happiness for the 5-6 days until the next one. I hope to share my outlook on the game and present to readers some of the information I have stored in my brain. Sometimes it will be funny, sometimes it will be sad, sometimes it will be confusing and a lot of the time it will plain suck but I hope that readers will exit out of this page knowing something they didn't know before and hopefully having their perspective of the American teenager slightly altered. Cheers!
