1st post

Hello all,

My name is Isaac, and I have created this blog for fun.  It will mostly pertain to sports and my daily life, but sports is 50% of my daily life.  Besides sports, I love my family, significant other (of course when applicable), friends and life.  Sports are my passion, along with Cities and city planning.  I am about to start a Master program to get a degree in Urban planning, and I would love one day to help in the planning of a stadium either in the US or abroad.  I am originally from Northern New Jersey and with that said I am a die hard NY Yankee, NJ Devil,  NY Giant and (when they are good) NJ Net fan.  Additionally I am very passionate about overseas and domestic soccer (football for most of the world).  I plan on blogging about all sports, but I think soccer will take up most of my time. 

My passion for soccer started four years ago, during my freshman year of college.  My roommate as well as two of my best friends from school began enjoying the game of soccer.  My roommate and my other friend Pino had already loved the game for years and really got me passionate about the game and following leagues such as the English Premiership, Spanish La Liga, German Bundesliga, and Italian Serie A.  Of course there are more leagues and I try to follow as much as I can, but its tough in America because most games on TV are English games or some games from the above mentioned leagues.  In addition to my passion for watching soccer, our obsession was strengthened by our devotion to the video game Fifa.  Fifa 07, 08, 09, 10 not only have been great games, well maybe not 08, but have also strengthened our friendship to the furthest height.  With out Barto, Pino and Muff (I will never use real names), I would not be the person, Soccer Fan or Fifa player I am today.  These guys are the best guys in the world and they only fuel my passion.

My favorite soccer teams include, Tottenham Hotspur FC, FC Barcelona, USA National Team (GO USA!!) and the NY Red Bulls.  I also try to follow as many American soccer players playing abroad as i possibly can.  Players like Clint Dempsey, Jozy Altidore, Tim Howard, Freddy Adu, Carlos Bocanegra, Alejandro Bedoya, Michael Bradley and many others...

With all that said, anyone who follows me, will learn more about me as my blog gets bigger but for now you can  describe me as a young adult who loves all sports, especially my teams, and enjoys cities and life.  I hope you enjoy...

Best

Urban Yankee
