Are You Ready For Some Futbol?

Have you ever wanted to immerse yourself in Soccer Shangri-La? Can't afford a quarter of a billion dollars to play with a European icon? Not even a lengthy vacation in Brazil?

OK, we've got a freebie that will kick your weekend into high gear. Time for all you soccer moms to gas up the team bus -- errrr, SUV -- and head to the Soccer Nation Expo this Saturday at the LA Convention Center.

Over 100 exhibitors will be on hand from 9a-5p along with players from the LA Galaxy and Chivas USA. National Team legend Brandi Chastain will make a special appearance (you remember her bra, trust us), and coaching clinics will be put on by the experts from FC Chelsea, Everton FC, Southern Methodist University, and NSCAA.

Admission is free, but good luck with parking!
