Coming to
Houston in just two weeks:
Mia Hamm, Briana Scurry, Cindy Parlow, Siri Mullinix...
The Washington Freedom takes on the Atlanta Beat
in the 2002 Space City Shootout on Saturday, October 19
at Rice University Track/Soccer Stadium. Pregame fan fest
begins at 3 pm, kickoff at 5 pm. Details online at http://www.hwsa.org/wusahouston.htm.
Tickets are on sale now at the Rice ticket office, at all
Soccer 4 All locations, at Fiesta on I-10 west at
Blalock, Fiesta on Bellaire at Hillcroft, at Soccer Time
in Pasadena or online at http://www.hwsa.org/.
The Rice soccer venue is fairly cozy (5000), so there's a
good chance the game will sell out. If your soccer club
would like purchase a large block of tickets, let me know
this week -- I can bring them to you sometime next
weekend.
$14 per individual ticket
$50 for family 4-pack
$240 for team pack of 20 tickets
Please spread the word to your teammates, coaches,
friends -- the more successful this event, the greater
our chances are for getting a Houston WUSA franchise down
the line.
Soccer in the Chronicle
Every Sunday the Houston Chronicle features a
soccer column by Houston's own Glenn Davis, the broadcast
commentator for the Dallas Burn as well as several 2002
World Cup games for ESPN. The column is posted online at http://www.chron.com/content/chronicle/sports/soccer/index.html. Let the Chronicle know that you like
regular soccer coverage (sptletters@chron.com) or tell Glenn what you think (gdavis98@swbell.net).
Soccer on TV
There's lots of it, 'round the clock -- check out http://www.soccertv.com/. It even has a list of soccer pubs
sorted by state -- Houston has all the soccer pubs listed
for Texas!
