For the first time in our 132-year history, Leicester City Football Club are the champions of England after securing the 2015/16 Barclays Premier League title on Monday night.
This is the story that has captured the imagination of sports fans around the world. A unlikely story of a team that beat enormous odds to win the English Premier League championship.
It’s proof that if you work hard and dream a little the improbable can be possible. Way to go Foxes.
The US Women’s National Soccer team is in Chattanooga for a friendly match against Costa Rica. Without doubt they are the best national team in the world. Having them in our city is awesome. It is one more way to grow the game of Soccer/Football in big and small places.
I just bought tickets for Saturday’s football/soccer national championship game on Saturday. This is going to be fun, competitive, rowdy and festive. They expect 10,000 plus for the game and this is fourth division competition. Chattanooga FC has captrued the imagination of our city and its exciting to see the rally of this scrappy team. It’s going to be a great match.
