Kartik — love your blog but you need to find a way to pre-edit the disgusting entries.
Regarding St. Louis I would be very cautious about what you wish for! St. Louis is not a good sports town. It is an awesome baseball town and that’s pretty much it. Despite the big names that you listed, none of them could be classified as having scintillating soccer skills. (Never-the-less — I think that Steve Ralston is fantastic). St. Louis soccer is workmanlike!! But who really wants to pay to see a “workmanlike” team. St Louis soccer is still locked in the vision of 1960’s English football. The soccer credentials of this town are much overplayed.
In addition, the local press (Post Dispatch) is notably anti-soccer. MLS is lucky if its box scores make it once a week. US friendlies are regularly ignored. TV listings for soccer on Hispanic channels are likewise not to be seen.
Seattle has shown what an engaged community can do for soccer. St. louis is not Seattle !!

The report in the St. Louis Post Dispatch of June 26, 1950 on the game between the U.S. and Spain, in Curitiba, clearly indicates that it came from United Press International. The report on the game between the U.S. and England in the Post Dispatch on June 30, 1950, contains no indication of where it came from.
The Post Dispatch of July 16, 1950 says. “Dent McSkimming of the Post-Dispatch sports staff, vacationing, flew to Brazil with the United States soccer team and saw the Americans defeat the English team in the big upset of the World Cup tournament before 30,000 spectators. On the return trip, he gathered the impressions of the six St. Louis players who were members regarding the American squad of their visit to Rio and other towns.” Dent McSkimming’s impressions are in that July 16 edition.

PUTITO u still dont get it. we know your hiding in the closet. the reason you attack us is because your very insecure in your own skin. That makes u a sad person. pathitic in many terms. If you hate american soccer so much thats okay. but you have to come here and look for a fight is only because u obviously have issues with yourself and have to make yourself feel more important, so i laugh at you because you are nothing.

To sum up the previous post.
USA sucks
USA soccer (whatever that is ) sucks
Kartik sucks
US Jerseys are ugly

Thanks for your post, but KARTIK should work at McDonalds?
