    Please indulge me for a couple paragraphs here. We all have a lot of fun on BS. Discussing the game, arguing, throwing insults at each other's teams and agreeing or disagreeing on a wide range of topics. At the end of the day we are all football fans and if we could all meet in a big pub somewhere, lauph, and bust each other's chops, I would love it. I guess BS is the next best thing. ;)

    I want to get serious for a moment. We all come on BS because we all love this game with a passion. For me it has been part of my life since I was a young child. By the grace of God, I am still able to play at a competetive level even though I am well into adulthood. One of the reasons that I love the game so much is the positive impact that it can have on families kids and communities. I really believe that Soccer/Football has the power to make the world a better place. I know it has for me and many others.

    I have some friends on facebook that are soccer fans and I found this group. It looks like there is going to great event coming up this summer taking place in New York As The Red Bulls take on a group of Allstars to raise money for education in Third World Countries. It looks like a fantastic event for a great cause.

    I was very moved when I saw the video. I invite you to check it out and if you are on Facebook, join the group. Thank you. Now back to our regularly scheduled programming. :)

    Sincerely,
    Greg Roth

    The match looks like it would be great to go to. Their is a ticket request section and everything. Should be a great event if they can make it happen!

    I will be attending for sure!

    Just in case you guys were wondering, as of right now according to Red Bull New York this match is not likely to happen.

    Here's a response someone received when they contacted RBFO:

    "Thank you for your email. As of now there is NO All Stars for Hope match being played against us, at Giants Stadium or anywhere else. There are discussions taking place, but there are so many things that have to come together for this event to happen that we are not confident that it will actually occur.

    If it does actually happen, we will let you know how it will affect your season ticket package. Thank you!"

    This is disappointing. It sounds like such a great event to raise money for a great cause. Hopefully, they can make it happen, if not perhaps another time.

    I'm sure that they will play the game, RBFO is most likely being cautious, that's all.
