Soccer

New York City's brand-new soccer club, NYCFC (that's "New York City Football Club," for the uninitiated) is on fire, winning four of their past five league games. And now they've signed on one of the players from the 2006 World-Cup winning Italian squad. So maybe it's time to take in a game.
