Doh... then I wont say no more.
I'll try to contain myself and I hope I didn't spoil the excitement when you do get the time to watch it.

At least you have friends interested in soccer, most of my friends are a bunch of lazy bandwagoner's if you ask me.


When will America embrace soccer?

It's the year after the Bulb-Eye, haha. I didn't really like the Bulb-Eye... This is more of the regular headlight shape..




The reason being, I am moving to Illinois and I figured having AWD would be mighty useful there. I can always get a BRZ later (maybe next year?), when I am used to driving in harsh winters. And there are some screaming deals on STi's of that year around here...

Yeah lucky for me, most of my friends have same interest as I am. Summer time, we usually play some soccer on the weekend.

I think it'll take longer time to make soccer famous in US. Cuz other sports are more popular than soccer, so soccer have a long way to go.... Even though soccer has longer history than some other sports.

Major problem for me in US soccer is no options for cleats. I want Mizuno cleats, but I cannot buy it locally... Gotta import it... FML

Ah~ so moving to IL huh... not sure weather is, but if it snows, then AWD is awesome to have.

Ooooohhhhh, sorry!!! I was confusing Bug and Bulb... Lol, the words are very similar...

Yes, Bulb Eye then! Like in the picture!


And yes, it's quite snowy in IL. The BRZ will be my Texas car if and eh I come back.

Heh that crank picture...with perspective taken into account, the rod/stroke ratio is no more than 1.5... Wonder what that means... Every other high revving motor has at least 1.6.

Importing, that's what I used to do but left my pockets pretty empty as I had to pay for it when I started doing this at 13 years old.
I remember getting Lotto's and Predator cleats in jr and sr. high school but I can't remember the exact model name anymore. Those cost me so much money but I didn't care, I thought they were sick, especially getting them customized.
Mizuno, all I know is they fit nice and snug and materials were on point but the only kids I knew who wore those were rich academy players.

You own the first 3 for rotation? I just go 1 pair for indoor, outdoor and 1 for practice.

From the look of those pictures I can see the Ignitus and Neo would be the pairs I'd pick up.
Before I didn't even know Mizuno even made soccer cleats, just for baseball, till someone showed me. Now I just run with Nike now so no more adidas, Lotto, or Puma. Although you're making me think of picking up a pair since I need to upgrade this season.

So damn autocorrect. I meant to say, I want several of em.

Currently,
Puma v2.08 - use for spare


Puma v1.10 - main cleats


Diadora Kobra K Pro - rain & bad weather cleats


I love 2.08 spike setup, but hating the rest... 1.10 fits me nice, but isn't great spike or soul part bugs me after a while. Kobra is nice, but my feet gets tired after play for an hr...

I want 1.10 (newer ver) & Adidas F50... But they're not cheap at all...

Seattle Sounders and Portland Timbers have a really strong following. The Sounders fill up an NFL stadium and a lot of people around the entirety of the NW sport their gear

Sounders




Timbers
