On June 2nd 2012, the San Francisco Seals will come together to face Figueirense, http://www.figueirense.com.br/, a first division soccer club in Brasil, currently in fourth place in their top league. Figueirense will bring some of their greats of past years on a tour of the United States. This will be a great opportunity to see great players up close and personal. The Figueirense players, average age 45, will provide us the opportunity to see high level skill in slightly slower motion given that they are all permanently retired from high level football. Accordingly, Seals fans will get to see some of the great Seals players of the past who have also retired from high level play. There's a roster below for you to look at.
