Happy Thanksgiving from SBI

TurkeyWave

Hello everybody. It is Thanksgiving Day, one of those rare days during the year when soccer goes on the backburner and there are no major games to watch (Well, unless you count theMexican League playoff gamesbeing played today).

American soccer fans have plenty to be thankful for this year. The U.S. national team won its group at the World Cup, and a new generation of talent is ready to take over. MLS continues to grow and prosper and we are treated to more and more European soccer on TV every week. Life is good for American soccer fans, much better than it has been in the past, and it's something we should all be thankful for.

What will I give thanks for from a soccer standpoint this year? Here are some things that came to my mind this morning:

The SBI Mafia, the readers who make my job worthwile

The SBI writing staff, who have helped take SBI to a new level

Philadelphia's addition to MLS (and the opening of PPL Park)

Barcelona and Real Madrid and the beautiful soccer they both play

The pending arrivals of Portland and Vancouver to MLS

My first visits to Liverpool, Amsterdam and South Africa

My move to Fox Soccer

The opening of Red Bull Arena

My family for being understanding about all the soccer I watch

----------------------------

Now it's your turn.What will you be giving thanks for as a soccer fan today?

Share yours below (And have a Happy Thanksgiving).

But every summer, hundreds of cyclists brave the plains, the mountains, the sun and the rain of France (and often the surrounding countries) to complete the 3,500-plus kilometer trek. But why? Fame? Sure, names like Lance Armstrong, Greg LeMond and defending champion Alberto Contador will go down in the annals of cycling history. Money? Certainly, the winners make some dough from winning and from the sponsorship deals that can result. The challenge of it all? No doubt, there are some competitors just looking to see where they rank among the top athletes in the sport. But there's another reason to race. If you win, you get to stand on the podium with some of the world's most beautiful women. Whether they're delivering handshakes, kisses or the radiant yellow jersey , these ladies serve as serious motivation t...

The 25 Hottest NFL Cheerleaders

No matter what the situation, you can bet that there will be some sexy ladies on the sidelines cheering them on, just as they have been all season. Cheerleaders are a wonderful part of the game, but it's hard to see all of them during brief appearances during games, and it's way too time consuming to check all of them out online. That's why you have me. I personally looked through each cheerleader in the National Football League and picked out the hottest ones. So for your viewing enjoyment, here are the 25 Hottest NFL Cheerleaders. No. 25: Chiefs—Suzie Kansas City has it rough in professional sports. The Royals are the biggest punchline in baseball and the Chiefs have bombed what looks to be a promising season. KC is lo...

Baseball is finally back! With the Yankees and Red Sox kicking things off Sunday night, America's pastime is officially back in session. That means another year of home runs and diving catches. It also means another year to check out the finest talent baseball has to offer off the field. With Derek Jeter locked down and engaged to Minka Kelly, what other MLB players will step up as the playboys of the MLB? And what team is the most stacked with six different WAGs on this list? (Hint: It's not the Yankees) So step up to the plate. WAGs may not be as American as apple pie, but they sure are just as tasty. No. 30: Misty Mae Treanor—Matt Treanor (Rangers) It can't be easy when your wife is hotter than you, more famous, and also better at sports, but somehow Matt Trean...
