About Bob »

Soccer Soap Box is online therapy for a pensive US Soccer fan. Be it MLS, the USA National Team or general topics on international soccer I hope that this page can offer some unique perspectives of news from around the soccer world. Please add your thoughts and constructive criticism.

As for your author, I like to say that my (non work related) priorities are family, friends and footy. Yes, in that order. Yes, they are best when combined.
