The challenge for all of us in soccer is to keep open the lines of communication.  Not only are we spread around the soccer fields of the world, we also have many other tasks, commitments and responsibilities that pull us in all different directions so that at times - in spite of technology - we are taken completely out of the communication loop.

Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other media sources have changed our world.

We will make an announcement next week about another way we are going to communicate with our clubs, coaches and the countless volunteers who keep the game of soccer growing - both here and in the United States and Canada.
