I have looked at the FIFA website and the ESPN site, but it is very confusing for a newcomer.

Where do you live ?
Is there a local team near you ?

some web sites that I live by are;

I put an article on the front page of this blog to help explain the most common soccer terms in plain English. Hopefully this list will help soccer moms everywhere (and soccer dads too, for that matter)to better understand what their little athlete is talking about! Click Here For Access: Soccer Terms.
