Since Friday is the slowest day of the week around here, I suppose I might as well make a few site related announcements and get them out of the way:

There is now a MFUSA store, featuring everything from t-shirts to coffee mugs with the stylish MFUSA logo (aka Scarf Guy) for your purchasing pleasure. If you want to be the first on your block (hell, the first on the planet) to own a snazzy MFUSA t-shirt and show your support for the site while you do it, please visit the store by clicking the link at the top of the page. Your support is always appreciated, and while I know it's a little goofy to have a store, I was bored one day and put it together. There's not much money in it for yours truly, but I've always wanted to have a reason to put out a t-shirt.

Also, our man Ginge has set up a message board for fans of the Winning Ugly Radio Show, and has generously dedicated a portion of the space there to the Match Fit USA Soccer Show. If you'd like to interact with me, the crew of Winning Ugly, or even the proprietor of the always excellent twofootedtackle podcast, please stop by and join in. There's link to the board at the top of the main page.

Any and all support you can spare for MFUSA is greatly appreciated; things are on a massive upswing recently, as my recent "Thank You" post intimated, and that only means good things. Of course this includes clicking through the ads here, buying your fantastic Who Are Ya? Designs t-shirts after reaching their site through mine, and telling people you know to check out the site and the podcast.

If you have any suggestions/comments/gripes and want to send them my way, please email me at matchfitusa (at) gmail.com

Sorry for the self-serving interlude, but sometimes these things have to be done. Back to our regularly scheduled programming.
