Are you as frustrated as I am with the lack of accurate and thorough American soccer statistical resources available online and in print? For years, there has been a massive void in the availability historical statistical archives for hardcore American soccer fans. Absolutely no publications exist that provide comprehensive statistical soccer data and player archives (aside from a few that covered the North American Soccer League, which has been defunct since 1984). Additionally, the current professional American Soccer Leagues do a poor job (at best) of offering and making available historical statistics. There are not even any all-inclusive websites on the “information superhighway” dedicated to American statistics for the World’s most popular sport. The American Soccer Guide solves this problem.

The E-Book The American Soccer Guide, Volume 1 (2008 Infosential Press) is the statistical bible to the legions of soccer followers in the United States who cannot get enough of their sport. It traces the careers of all players who have played professionally in the United States since 1985, with detailed year-by-year statistics, biographical information, national team appearances and stats and informative player trivia. For the first time, soccer devotees around the country can research and review the careers of their favorite players with this comprehensive encyclopedia of American soccer.

Players from Major League Soccer (1996-present), United Soccer Leagues 1st Division (1985-present), United Soccer Leagues 2nd Div`ision (1995-present) and United Soccer Leagues Premier Development League (1989-present) are included in this massive registry dedicated to American professional soccer players.

I have a keen interest in the history of the game in the United States, my home country. Starting in the mid 1980’s, I began keeping detailed statistics for the various American professional leagues and have accumulated an impressive collection of data that is unavailable anywhere else, in print or on the World Wide Web.

Exhaustive research has been performed to ensure The American Soccer Guide is the most complete and authoritative reference of American soccer available. It is the first and only statistical archive profiling modern day professional American soccer players. Each year, a new edition will be released, with up-to-date statistics and information. The American Soccer Guide is a fascinating look at American soccer players of the past, present and future.

As far as my knowledge of English is concerned, purchase always means obtaining something in exchange for a consideration. Therefore, the book is not free.

I'm not English/American so I don't catch every word properly.
However, if it isn't free, I'm not interested :-)

I'd spend money only for Colin Jose.
