Welcome to my international soccer page. I first became interested in soccer when I got my first taste of International soccer in 1993 at the U.S. Cup in Foxboro, Mass. There I saw the U.S. team beat England 2-0. That day I rode the train from Boston to Foxboro, myself and 5,000 England fans. I expected them to be crazy obnoxious hooligans, but I found them to be regular people that happen to be very passionate about thier team. Being a Red Sox, Bruins and Patriots fan, I can relate to that, and I wound up having a great time, even on the train ride back to Boston, after England lost. Working for British Airways gave me exposure, to the worlds' top league (Premier League). We spent our short breaks reading 'News of the World','Sun', and all the other London 'Tabloids'. They have the most extensive sports coverage in the world concerning the English, especially London teams (Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham, Millwall, Wibledon, QPR, etc.). Since I have been cruising the information superhighway (1996), following the top teams and countries has been easy. I have even become a top prognasticator. For the 1998 World Cup, I entered the challenge to pick the winner of every game (64). I finished 13th out of 20,000+. I also was one of only five that chose France to win the whole thing. Click on the link to the left to view the results (user name is taryns, after my daughter) International soccer is probably the most electric, exciting events to see live. Some day if I am lucky, I will be at Lansdowne Road in Dublin to see the Green Machine in action, live! On this page you will see my favorite players and teams. Check out my soccer links for more information. Phil 9-22-98
