World Cup Withdrawals? Take In Some Soccer Movies!

Even though the globe's biggest soccer event is over, you can still feed your fever with a soccer movie or two. Check out this solid starting eleven, or if that’s not enough, take a look-see at a list of 30 soccer films for your viewing pleasure.

Best part: You can hit the ‘mute’ button to silence any scenes featuring overzealous vuvezelas.

Speaking of vuvezelas: thought we share one last shot of a young noise-making fan, taken at last week's Seattle Sounders-LA Galaxy matchup at Starfire Sports in Tukwila, WA.

We drove our Code 4 soccer ball car there, stood the full 90 with the rest of the raving fans, and had a grand ol' time. Nothing beats professional soccer up close and personal!

It's Soccer Tournament Time!

Summer is pretty much upon us, and everywhere you look soccer tournaments are kicking it into high gear. Among our favorites: The Yak Attack in Yakima, WA, a fun-filled, rip-roaring-of-a-good-time 5-on-5 tournament/festival for kids and adults. In fact, the tournament’s slogan is, “If your coach doesn’t know how to have a good time, GO WITHOUT THE COACH!”

The 8th annual event, which took place last month, featured the always-popular soccer uniform contest sponsored by yours truly, Code Four Athletics. To qualify, teams had to create their own interesting/whacky/unique uniforms, and play all games in them. An esteemed panel of judges chose the best, awarding them a certificate toward our soccer specialty brand of soccer jerseys, uniforms or soccer gear.

The Happy Cows, shown here, took top honors with their udderly creative uniforms honoring heifers everywhere. We particularly appreciate the team mascot, who took one for the team in that costume as temperatures rose throughout the weekend.

If you’re looking for your own custom soccer uniforms, albeit a bit more mainstream than the Happy Cows, keep us in mind!
