Greatest. Moment. Ever. Here's to hoping we see Kiko Sunday.

A post vaguely outlining who this new Wizards fan and blogger that just happened to pop up and cause this two game result streak. The Wizards are undefeated since my creation of The Daily Wiz, just for the record. Anyway, I thought I’d take a bit of time to share a few of my personal soccer favorites and I am. And, what better time to do so than the week our city hosts world giants Manchester United? (I’m a fan, if you can’t tell.)
I’m actually a relatively new fan to the soccer world. “New,” as in I just completed my first four year World Cup cycle as a soccer fan. I got caught up in the 2002 World Cup and the United States’ run to the quarterfinals, but when it was over, so was soccer for me. It wasn’t until four years later when the 2006 World Cup came that it actually interested me as a sport, rather than just a USA competition, because I will cheer to death for any team with “USA” across their chest.
But, I wasn’t instantly hooked. It actually took me another full year before I learned what club soccer was, and how it was different from the international game. The game that did it for me? 2007 FA Community Shield between Chelsea and Manchester United. For whatever reason, I saw the sport of soccer completely different and a thousand times more interesting. Slowly that evolved into the near 100 percent consuming of my time and thoughts, but if you’re a soccer lover, who isn’t like that?
