Re: [NDR] Has any one else heard about Free Kick Masters?

December 22 is what it said on the first link I put up there. It's going to be great to go watch. I'm looking forward to it. I'll try to find something about when tickets might go on sale also.

 

Re: [NDR] Has any one else heard about Free Kick Masters?

It shows Relint. I guess that is the best place to have it since I think this will be a sell out. Think of all the star players that will be there. I say we have another 75K+ soccer event at Reliant.

 

Re: [NDR] Has any one else heard about Free Kick Masters?

Exactly, and I'm thinking that it's because we had such a large crowd for the Club America Barca game. Largest futbol crowd in Texas history.

 

Re: [NDR] Has any one else heard about Free Kick Masters?

--Just an update after reading more on the website. It looks to me as if it is only going to be held in Houston, and not anywhere else. What does everyone else think after reading this?-- (see below)


The Free Kick Masters is a skills-based international soccer competition featuring some of the world’s top rated free kickers competing against some of the world’s top rated goalkeepers in a free kick shootout to declare the world’s “Free Kick Master” and “Golden Goalkeeper”. The last Free Kick Masters event held in 2004 in Marbella, Spain was sold out and broadcast to over 30 countries and an estimated 110 million viewers.

The Free Kick Masters 2007 will be held in Houston, Texas. The player crowned “Free Kick Master” will receive $1 million in prize money, and the “Golden Goalkeeper” title winner will receive $0.5 million in prize money.

The Free Kick Masters panel of judges includes former players and distinguished coaches from around the world.

Professional referees will be keeping score to the official standards and regulations as set by the professional football association. The referees will be chosen by draw and distributed amongst the groups in the qualifying phase and final.

I'm thinking 1v1 since it's just Free Kick Master, and Golden Goalie. Could be wrong though.

 

Re: [NDR] Has any one else heard about Free Kick Masters?

I would rather see someone from the MLS win, but I don't even know who is going to be in it much less if anyone from MLS will be in it.

 

Re: [NDR] Has any one else heard about Free Kick Masters?

ok, response to a couple of posts between my last post and now.....

I know that Beckham will be in the MLS by December, but as cmack said, it wouldn't help much. I still have yet to find anything out about tickets. It's not until December, so I'm guessing maybe October, September at the earliest. I have been wrong before though. I'll try to check up in a few days.

 

Re: [NDR] Has any one else heard about Free Kick Masters?

I was thinking the same thing, but you know they always find time to do something. It's kind of like the MLS with Superliga. They wil be mid-season, and they find the time. So I guess that's about the only way to explain it.

 

Re: [NDR] Has any one else heard about Free Kick Masters?

Pretty sure it's free kicks. Dead ball situations and things of that nature.
