All Eyes on the World Cup in South Africa

With the professional seasons winding down in most of Europe and around the world, all eyes will soon be turning towards the build up to the World Cup in South Africa kicking off on June 11.
However, before we all become engrossed with the world's largest sporting event, won't it be great to see Newcastle United back in the English Premier League when the season kicks off in August! The Magpies, or the Toon as they are now so often called, led the Championship almost throughout the gruelling 46 match schedule which ended last Sunday. Their 102 points total wasn't quite a record, but with 30 wins, 12 draws, and only 4 losses, the season was an unqualified success, with an average home attendance bettered only by two Premier League teams. The Geordie battle cry of 'Howay the Lads' will once again ring out at St. James' Park and the other EPL stadiums after a one season hiatus.
SoccerTours.net staff will be on tour with teams in Holland, Belgium, Germany, Sweden, Canada, and the UK this summer. We are all looking forward to helping make this summer a memorable one for all our tour participants.
