Asian soccer players, like these, will probably play in the tournament

(New York) Let the games begin.
The entire Pacific Rim is salivating at the prospects of one of the most glamorous competitions in the world of soccer, as some team or another will play some other teams for the prestigious Pan-Pacific Cup Championship.
Sometime this spring, some team from Asia will play some team from Oceania in what is sure to be a sizzling affair with heart-stopping action and goals galore. Then some team from California, quite possibly worldwide megastar David Beckham and his Los Angeles Galaxy, will play some team from somewhere else, maybe Japan, in a matchup that will rival only the World Cup for star power.
"What more could you ask for? We are very privileged to see teams of this calibre and we are especially excited about hosting the game between some Chinese or Korean, I think, team and that other place with those people... Australia? No, New Zealand?" said Tim Liewicke, head of the Hosting Committee..
The drama is set to unfold at some stadium somewhere sometime in the Spring, possibly. Surely tickets will be tough to come by, but the entire tournament is set to be televised to a rapt pan-Pacific audience by some network or another. Not sure about radio.
This is the second year, at least, of the Pan-Pacific Cup Championship and last year's champion won the prestigious trophy with a win over some other plucky but ultimately unlucky team that couldn't quite capture the championship, although they came achingly close, having come in second place.
Whether they will be able to repeat as champions, or indeed even compete again, remains to be seen.
And if the emotional roller coaster of passion of the Pan-Pacific Cup Championship wasn't enough to sate the avid soccer fan's excitement, Superliga will again be played in the Summer and/or Fall by some teams, probably.
