Summer of Soccer 2017


This Summer I will be writing more about the soccer tournaments going on during the Summer. From the 2017 Confederations Cup to the 2017 Gold Cup. I will be writing all there is in the works of Summer soccer. With most of the soccer leagues around the world done with the 2016-17 season, this blog will be a center for all Summer soccer. The Summer is all about international soccer and pre-season warm-ups for the following European soccer seasons. Four key tournaments/ seasons that I will be covering on this page will include: The International Champions Cup, Confederations Cup, MLS Soccer and FIFA World Cup Qualifiers. We are one year away from the 2018 World Cup and this is the place to be leading up to the tournament. Stay tuned for more soccer news.
