What were we doing last weekend, you ask? Well, Smash was cheering on her FC Dallas boys at home in Dallas with her girls, and Julie and I were bundled up in Chicago trying to bear the cold weather and terrible soccer being played by Chicago Fire - at least the tifo by Section 8 Chicago was off the hook.

Losses & sadfaces. Hoping this weekend is better for our teams. MLS weekend #3 of 2013 is upon us - happy soccer watching.

Footy love, nikhak

Footy love all day long…

All day long… 

After a tough 1-0 loss to Northwestern. (Taken with instagram)

Sweaty kick-about tonight. Here’s @positivelyallie and @Benny_Goodtimes on our way out (Taken with instagram)

I haven’t mentioned it here on my own personal tumblr yet (though I have been sharing the love here), but I am so stoked for the Women’s World Cup.  I’ve been waiting for the perfect photo to share here, and I think this is my favorite photo of the tourney yet.  Marta utterly defeated. Soccer and the World Cup bring so many different emotions, and I think this photo is a perfect example of that. 

AHHHHHHHHHH. World Cup excitement is in the air!

basnt: She’s fine… she’s just rehearsing for her reaction after the USA beats them. (but I gotta admit she’s one skilled player)

I am writing to let everyone know that the Chicago Fire will be honoring our dad/husband this year by inducting him onto their Wall of Honor. Naturally, the three of us are truly appreciative of this honor. As you know, the Fire has been a huge part of our lives for several years now, and at times Toyota Park seems empty now without our dad their, even with 20,000 fans filling the stadium. This tribute to our father/husband will hopefully help fill a void that is missing in our lives, though we know it will never replace all the memories we’ve shared with him over the years.  -nikhak

Reblogging my footy queen post of DePaul women’s soccer team practicing this spring on wish field. 

I’m psyched that The Footy Queen is mentioned on this list.  And because sharing is caring, check out the other amazing football tumblrs mentioned on this list provided by footysphere.

Hello lovely soccer ladies of Chicago,

I have an e-mail list of soccer women that I e-mail a few times a year about upcoming leagues, coaching positions, etc. If you’re interested in being a part of this mailing list, please send me your name and e-mail address at my Tumblr message/ask box.  Please also don’t hesitate to ask questions.

Soccer love, nikhak

p.s. I promise that I always BCC everyone’s names & e-mail addresses on the communications I send out. Sharing is not always caring. :)

(Please feel free to reblog this.)

Watching him play, not just in this match but in most matches, I find it almost impossible to believe that this is the guy who crashes his car into pedestrians, pummels teammates on the training field, curses his managers, makes two-footed lunges into opponents’ shins.
