I might not be the worst soccer fan in America anymore

Sunday night after the kids were in bed I fired up the TV for my weekly ritual of ironing shirts and watching sports. In the fall this means NBC’s “Football Night in America” more often than not.

However this past Sunday, despite the fact that my favorite NFL team, the Pittsburgh Steelers, was playing, I went for the MLS and the “real” Western Conference championship game (as opposed to the “Eastern” game featuring two teams from the West).

Well the Los Angeles David Beckham’s lost 3-0 to FC Dallas in an enjoyable match-up and I get some points towards earning my MLS soccer cred back after watching a record low number of games this season.

As far as the final, I don’t have a horse in the race, but I will likely pull for Colorado as it would be nice to see Pablo Mastroeni to win a title. The guy has been a great competitor for the US team for a decade, ill-timed tackles on Italians non-withstanding.
