After the U.S. was Eliminated from the World Cup, local soccer fields filled with passion and excitement.

Pegasus Cup, a youth soccer tournament in San Diego attracting teams from as far as Canada and Hawaii, is a great place to be today as America nurses its wounds from being eliminated from the World Cup by the small but powerful West African nation of Ghana.

A tournament managed by STS, Soccer Tournament Specialists, is alive with soccer passion and enthusiasm.  As spectators listened to America loose in the World Cup on their car radios and watched on their iPhones with FloTV, a somber and sad mood filled the soccer fields.  Today, that sadness has turned to determination to watch tomorrow's soccer stars today do their best and compete to be the best.  

San Diego Youth Soccer News:  If you or your youth soccer player is competing at Pegasus Cup, please send us your soccer news and pictures to News@SoccerNation.com.  We want to cover the teams and soccer players that are making a difference today!

Hopefully the youth of today will not talk of the goal that should have been but how they can do better every time they step on the soccer field.
