Greetings to all soccer, football, futbol, futebol lovers around the world!

Why am I starting this Blog?

The Euro Cup has just finished with a brilliant win by Spain. Throughout the championship I had discussions and arguments with coworkers and friends about this tournament and who was the better team and who deserves to win etc. This passion has lead me to start this blog! Thus, today July 1 2008 is soccertalk's first entry! Horay!

What is the objective of this blog?

With this blog I intend to give accurate but opinionated analysis of soccer. I am a past soccer player from Brazil and USA. Circumstance and injury have left me off of the pitch; however, the philosophy stands strong.

What do I plan to get out of this blog?

I plan on releasing some of my thoughts, and hopefully feel better at the end of the day!

What can you expect to see?

I will post photos, videos of myself playing, I will write about certain teams, players and leagues from around the world. And I hope that I will get a good response from people.

Final word?

This game is part of my soul, I love this game and live this game daily. Personally I see soccer not as a game but a way of life. This is the one thing I will never be able to stop.

Lets have some fun!
