All of the other discussion...... Well I suppose you could take it or leave it. All in all, a very well written piece which has obviously got people talking. We'll expect you to keep it up. By the way, Eric Wynalda (the westlake wonder) did a fine job. Arena's not cut out for anything that requires him to speak. Nice work Josh!

Except for the Latin American model soccer match video thing (which I've just HEARD about) porn and soccer don't mix :) I was just stunned at the number. Ken - heh same here. Family on my mother's side, WAY back, migrated from Canada where they lived in a community called 'Bois des Fillion' (Woods of the Fillions (I knwo that spelling is wrong), the Fillions migrated to Michigan and stayed there until my mother decided to take off and live in NYC. My grandmother researched the heck out of our family tree. Turns out the last male in teh direct family named Michael was the father who moved his family from France to Canada back in like the 1500s. Go figure. How I ended up in North Carolina is anyones guess! Mark – oh agree totally.

He's Canadian. Soccer Dad: I was born in America, but have French Canadian roots. I'm Cajun, which is kinda like being Canadian but via Louisiana. My great, great, great, great, great Grandfather was kicked out of Nova Scotia in the 1770's by the British. If it wasn't for those damn Brits I'd be going to hockey games and drinking Labatts. Or maybe I would be Bruce Cockburns agent. Yea, that's it... And Les Stroud (Survivorman – love that show). He’s Canadian.
