Dundee United Take The Points In The First Dundee Derby In Seven Years

The orange side of Dundee, Dundee United "hosted" their neighborhood rivals for the Dundee Derby this afternoon in the Scottish Premier League. That atmosphere rivaled the intensity of the fans at the Old Firm (the Glasgow derby notorious for its passionate fans) with the sounds of the home side, Dundee United, blasting throughout the city, surely causing a rumble when the home side struck their three goals to give them a victory in the Dundee Derby, which hasn't happened in a competitive competition in seven years.

Lexi and I are planning a mission to Kenya!

Apologies dear readers for not posting anything in a while! I've been working away at my soccer project in Kenya recently and I am thrilled to announced that in August of 2013, I will likely be posting from Miwani, Kenya! The arrangements have been made and my co-president and I are now working feverishly at assembling a team of coaches, players and soccer fanatics to go to Kenya and spend a month structuring the youth academy for Nehemiah FC and running kids camps to get the youth excited about soccer and to use the camps to educate coaches that we will seed into the youth academy! We are SO excited to be making headway like this and I am SO excited to be able to go over and finally see all of the hard work that we have been putting into this pay off! I am also excited to announce that Nehemiah FC is playing in their very first tournament. Shebby is away from the internet right now and can't send me many details, but so far I know that we have drawn the first game 1-1 and it was a very good match. If anyone would like any more information on this mission trip that we will be taking or how they can help, please refer to this link.

The Swiss visitors were lucky to claim the win on their trip to Norway for the third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League. Despite being a man up for the majority of the game, Basel looked unconvincing in terms of their finishing but were strong in possession. They will have the 1-0 aggregate lead and a precious away goal when the two sides clash in Basel next week.
