While many of you interns feel homeless, think you’re starving and below poverty lines, you’re wrong. While you whine about the meager stipend you receive every week and struggle to buy that expensive fifth of vodka before you go to some hipster bar , people who actually don’t have homes and live well below poverty lines from all over the world are gathering all weekend for the Homeless USA Cup in D.C.! So stop your moaning. Go to this badass FREE event at Washington Kastles Stadium, 11th and H Street.  Today, tomorrow (28th) and Sunday (29th) are the USA trials for the 2008 Homeless World Cup in Melbourne Australia.

What’s unique about this tournament is consists completely of street soccer on a street-like “field,” four v. four and men’s, women’s and mixed teams. Each player on the team receives special kits from Nike, which kinda sucks, but I mean what can you do? The winners of the world cup are awarded a huge cash prize, so the stakes are high.

On top of the intense tournament, there are special poetry slams, a skills session with DC United and tons more. PLUS, don’t miss a special screening of the documentary “Kickin’ It” at the E Street Cinema, 555 11th St. NW, Washington, DC about the 2006 Homeless World Cup!
