Merry Christmas from SBI

Hello all. I want to wish a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of you SBI readers out there. We hope you enjoy some time off, quality family time and a few peeks at SBI in between your unwrapping of presents and celebrating.

We will have a few presents for you in terms of posts today to help quench your thirst for soccer so keep an eye out for those, and feel free to throw some story suggestions our way today as we make our way through a second straight day without soccer to watch (the good news is soccer is on the way on Wednesday courtesy of the Premier League’s Boxing Day schedule).

Thank you for making SBI part of your Christmas tradition. For those of you who have been around with us for a while, you might know that this is the fifth straight year of our Merry Christmas post, with the familiar Santa playing soccer image. I thought about finding a new image to run with this post, but ultimately it felt wrong to break with tradition.

On behalf of the entire staff at SBI, thank you for making us a part of your soccer world and please enjoy this special time of year.

  1. Merry Christmas, SBI!!! santa really needs to sink this last shot. going one for three from the spot against a stationary keeper with such frail arms is nothing to carol about.

  2. Ives, I was just thinking about how that image was so familiar. Every Christmas for 6 years I have checked this website and seen that image. Don’t go changing it!

  5. Ives, where was your Happy Chanukah post? Just kidding. Merry Christmas to you and yours too. Looking forward to those posts. One question though, isn’t today Tuesday? So isn’t today Boxing Day?

    • Boxing Day, I’m almost 100% positive, is always the day after Christmas. I’m England, it was tradition to give little gift boxes to servants and help the day after Christmas, hence “Boxing” day. Now that we dont have servants and hired help anymore, you just give presents to people you think less of on Boxing Day (I’m just kidding, I made that last part up).

      Merry Xmas my fellow soccer fans. I want a strong run of USMNT performances as a belated Christmas gift!
