first game played by professionals? Hmm, this is difficult as soccer was never on TV was I was younger, my Dad didn't watch it, my friends didn't watch it, we only played it. I was unaware of the NASL until it was defunct. My first game was probably a live game. I remember going to Milwaukee Wave indoor soccer games when I was young, not sure when we first went. The club started in the mid-1980s, so it was probably around 1985 or 1986. Last game was two days ago, the Maribor Champions League game. I watched about 10 minutes of the Arsenal game last night, I'll try to watch the 2nd half tonight.
If youre talking about went to, I cant remember. The first "big" one I remember was the FAI Cup Final in 1993. I went to tonnes before that though for Shelbourne games.
Last one I saw was a friendly between Colorado and Houston this summer.
I never watched soccer match. Actually, I don't like this game. I like football very much. I am always active in discussions related to football matches. I watch each and every match of the NFL season.
First live game for me was QPR v Liverpool in 1978, first live Chelsea game (my team), Chelsea v Liverpool 1979 (father was a Liverpool supporter), last Chelsea game Nov 2013 v West Brom with a sprinkling of Crawley Town and Maidstone Utd games since :-)
First? Chicago Fire vs DC United in 1998 I believe. Last? Arsenal vs Tottenham just a few days ago.
Bradley coached the Fire back then, was Beasley on the team yet or was he still too young?
