Might as well post this site for anyone interested...

Go to the athletics drop menu, select Daytona Beach and click on the soccer team. If you manage to make it through the appalling American soccer jargon (actually reports number of saves made by keepers - sad or what! :rolleyes: ), you'll find match stats, player profiles, etc.
Or to just see Davey's profile go herehttp://daytona.embryriddlesports.com...id=260&sport=8

Since 1991 The USA have won 2 World Cups and 2 Olympic Gold medals.
The Corollary of that is that, in some Universities in most sporting cagtegories, unless there is a male equivalent the female one will not be funded. Hence Male Cheerleaders at the female team sports events.
My mentor is American. He once told me that there are more cheerleading-related injuries in the US each year than American football related ones!!Quote:
