We are just under a month away until Olympic Qualifying. In early March, the US will have qualifying games in Tampa. Finishing top two in their group, the US will make the semifinals which occur in Nashville. A victory in the semifinals, will send the US to the Olympics. However, there is still work to be done. With a semifinal victory, a date with Mexico on Easter Sunday will likely be looming. Jozy Altidore is set to be a key figure on this team. Time to roar on our favorite son to the Olympics. Also likely to appear: US National Team players Freddy Adu, Maurice Edu, Benny Feilhaber, Robbie Findley, Chris Seitz, Jonathan Spector, and Marvell Wynne. Flights and hotels are likely to be finalized within the next week. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, please post in this thread. So, we can see what kind of numbers we are looking. We want as strong as ESC - US group as possible to represent in Nashville. We want to be strong, need to be heard. Time to show your true colors and represent the boys and this country strong! If you were in Montreal for the Under 20 World Cup, that is the kind of group we need in Nashville. Montreal was my favorite soccer trip thus far, an experience I'll never forget. Nashville will be just as good, if not better. WHEN: Thursday March 20 - Monday March 24 WHERE: Nashville, Tennessee TRANSPORTATION: Fly out Thursday morning. Return Monday morning/afternoon HOTEL: Still being decided You can also PM me your email address, so I can include you on future email correspondences related to this trip. Thank you all and see you in Nashville where the best BBQ, honky tonk bars, and southern hospitality exist!
It's a damn good bar (btw the bar is called "The Basement"-- Grimeys is the amazing record store above it), but I like the pub at the Yazoo Brewery more. Too bad about the fact that it's in a terrible neighborhood and has very limited hours. You won't hurt for drinkin choices in Nashville, that's for sure.
If you're downtown, Paradise Park is pretty good in that genre-- it's bigger and draws a bit of a tourist crowd, but as far as 24/7 food and drink goes, it's awfully good.
