As you all know, this is the kinda thing that I think is pretty cool and humbling at the same time:
Next week Hanging Cleats joins forces with MLS to make "doin' it for the kids" into an even bigger deal. The shirts they sell are VERY cool looking. And you would look good in one, plus you would feel better about your life too. Of course.
About HC: Established 2007, Hanging Cleats is a clothing line created to promote and sustain a non profit organization called The Hanging Cleats Foundation which goal is to provide a better path for children in underprivileged countries where drugs and violence are part of their every day lives by constructing/reconstructing soccer facilities, donating soccer related equipment and teaching basic soccer classes. All net profits of the clothing line will go to maintain the Foundation.
Please get on board with this.

2 MLS matches on the ESPN family on Saturday, how very odd...
I don't think Gooch could have gotten to that ball, as it seemed very well played to me.
Agree with Joe J.... Ives has got a more complete analysis - interesting note about Gooch pulling up at 12 yards out and thoughts about his performance beyond the goal:
