It must have been 1994 and the World Cup was in the United States. I was 15 and my soccer team was excited to get together throughout the Summer and watch the games and hang out. I can't say we didn't get bored at times and go out to kick the ball around, but we also watched quite a bit of soccer that Summer.

It was a different time in 1994. That was all fun until I figured out the system ...

Every time I want to write, I go through the stages of grief again about not having Tormenta around this season and I lose my motivation. But I could either mope and do nothing, or I could try to shake myself out of my writing funk and get back to doing something that I've always enjoyed and return to the basic premise that I've had since the beginning of this blog. Sports are supposed to be fun. So I'm going to try to have a little fun with this and, hopefully, it's fun for you as well.  Today, we're looking at the top Charles Dickens Sounding Names in USL League One. You know Dickens.
