If you were not into soccer before, you certainly may be now. Especially if you’re a frustrated San Diego professional sports fan.
The San Diego Football Club, SDFC, could win a championship, something the Padres have never done and the San Diego Chargers never did.
Padre fans are still trying to deal with the, fact that some of the best Padres teams over the last few years have fallen short.
And former fans of the Chargers are still ticked off that they cruelly abandoned San Diego for L-A.
So, the success of San Diego FC in their first year as a member of the MLS, the professional major league soccer organization is drawing big crowds and a lot of pride among San Diego sports fans.
Soccer has been growing as a favorite sport in San Diego for years, but what is happening this year has generated new excitement especially among the many thousands of kids who play soccer and now have heroes to root for who will grow up as fans of what could be San Diego’s first major professional championship sports team.
