The Nike Friendlies Are Coming
In Sarasota, FL next week, two great soccer events are taking place – the Nike International Friendlies and the US Soccer Development Academy Winter Showcase – and both of Corey's teams will be participating.
As we approach the International Friendlies, there is news popping up on the various International soccer federations' web sites.
