International soccer tourny comes to Pontiac
There's a double threat of indicators in what would otherwise be just another sporting event in Metro Detroit.

Excerpt: "This International Soccer Tournament features four international teams to compete in Detroit. The soccer teams are: River Plate of Argentina; UNAM Pumas of Mexico; Ferencvarosi FC and Vasas FC of Hungary. The teams will fly to Detroit for this special match tournament from European matches. The tournament schedule begins with the teams arriving on February 2 and playing warm-up and practice games at the Silverdome on February 3." Read the rest here.
