UA Soccer in NYTimes

[LosAngelesZipFan]

The NYTimes Sunday Magazine today was all about the World Cup. They also had a feature on the "Next Gen of American Soccer". 11 were featured. 2 of them were Zips. No other university had an entry. Amazing!

That's cool. Of course, I only wish that college soccer got some attention in this country, then the whole University would benefit from this publicity.

I think one of the significant aspects of this story is that the writer expects the careers of Kofi and Zarek to transcend college soccer and perhaps make a splash on the USMNT. If that occurs, UA could very well receive a decent amount of publicity.

We've been hoping for that for decades in this country. It just isn't happening. If this is finally a breakthrough era, Akron could very well find its ticket to some national publicity through its soccer program. I'd love to see that.

Hey LA Zip,

How's about joining me on August 14 at the Tool Box? The Sounders and Steve Zakuani are in town to face Chivas USA and their two Zips, Blair and Ben. Not positive yet, but I may be there. Let me know if you're interested. Maybe we can get tix via the Zipvine.
