San Jose Frogs:
The End!

The San Jose Frogs (Premier Develoment League) announced today they are closing down the franchise. The main reason is the lack of support they have received from the fans last season. The club had hoped they could have a minimum of 100 fans at each home game but, after a succesful season opener against the San Francisco Seals in May, they barely reached 20 tickets sold in most of following games.

More than a Worldwide Sport,

A Local Passion


You, like me, probably always wondered why, in the US, Soccer has not became the popular sport it is in almost all the rest of the world.
