Report

Five Irish Soccer played in Major League Soccer in 2013: Robbie Keane starred in 25 games, scoring 16 goals for Los Angeles Galaxy, Jonny Steele (Northern Ireland) played in 24 games, scoring 5 goals for New York Red Bulls, Darren O’Dea scored one goal in 17 games for Toronto FC, Andy O’Brien played in 16 games for Vancouver Whitecaps FC, and finally Peter McGlynn, was on the San Jose Earthquakes squad.

In Addition, Gloucester Celtic of Ottawa won the Canadian National Cup – the Canadian Challenge Trophy Final, the team with an Irish name defeating Surrey United Firefighters 3-0 in the Final.

In Mexico’s Liga MX, Atlante Cancun finished 17th of 18 in both the Apertura and Clasura Championships (Opening and Closing Championships). Atlante Cancun are named after the Atlantic Ocean, which is in itself named after Atlantis, what some archeologists believe may be the Tin Mining Regions of Ireland and Cornwall, known to the ancient Greeks. The name Atlantic Isles is also used instead of the British Isles. [Reference: 6-7].

Note: In Central and South American Soccer Championships, the season is divided into Apertura and Clasura (Opening and Closing Champiobships), with two separate Champions for the two halves of the season, decided by playoffs as in North American Sports. As with all North American Sports, Major League Soccer is divided geographically into Conferences, with playoffs determining the overall Champions.
