There are only a few days left in Youth Soccer Month and the Giant Jersey Tour—I can't believe how quickly it's gone by!

 

This week, I visited Denver and it was already REALLY cold there! It was 40 degrees at night and it even snowed a little during our visit. The cold weather didn't stop soccer lovers, though. We had fantastic crowds at all of our events!

 

On Tuesday, the Giant Jersey Tour visited the Stenger Soccer Complex to watch teams practice and hang out with kids who love soccer. We interviewed teams about their experiences playing soccer and everyone shared some great stories. (Tune into the US Youth Soccer Show on Fox Soccer Channel and you might see footage from these interviews!)

 

On Wednesday night, the tour visited Dick's Sporting Goods stadium for an MLS matchup between the Colorado Rapids and the San Jose Earthquakes. Both teams played strong defense and Colorado's Conor Casey scored on a stoppage-time penalty kick to secure a 1-1 draw. The draw secured a crucial point that helped keep the Rapids in a wildcard spot for the playoffs!

 

My next stop was Chicago. The Giant Jersey Tour was part of Fire Fest this Saturday at Toyota Park when the Chicago Fire took on Toronto FC. The Tour also appeared at Chicago Soccer in Cicero, Ill., on Sunday where fans had a chance to meet Elise Weber, defender for St. Louis Athletica and Patrick Nyarko, forward for the Chicago Fire!
