Being that New Orleans is the birth of soccer in the US should it be the proper home of the soon to be constructed US Soccer Hall of Fame? From wikipedia:
quote:

2013 research has shown that soccer entered America through the port of New Orleans, as Irish, English, Scottish, and German immigrants brought the game with them. It was in New Orleans that many of the first games of soccer in America were held.

Clearly NOLA didn't do a good job making the game stick and get popular.

I don't know if it's because I'm drunk but I think I drafted my best fantasy team of all time today

I'm new here and don't see many people on the soccer board must be a southern thing.

Your use of punctuation needs some work.

no


Place a plaque where the first games were played.

its already going to cost the USA trillions to deal with just a few feet in sea level rising. don't build new public buildings in New Orleans.
