About

Avid Football (Soccer, knuckleheads) enthusiast.

I was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. So that means I love the White Sox, Da Bears, Da Bulls and the Blackhawks. Sorry Cubs. I have played competitive soccer my entire life, playing everywhere across the USA and even in Europe and South America. My obsession with the 'beautiful game' is known throughout my community, within my family and through my circle of friends. I cannot start my day without checking out the latest news in sports, specifically soccer. BR allows me a gateway to not only channel my personal opinions about sports, but also see how others feel!

I hope to be a sports writer one day, as combining my love for sports and writing only seems fitting.

    Justin, I wish to congratulate you on your recent article on JT for both being fair and well written. This site is full of people who don't understands other clubs spewing out uneducated and awful articles and you proved that that isn't always the case. Good job and keep on writing.
