Auto Soccer is the most American invention since sliced freedom. This sport combines the intense and exciting world of destruction derbies with the foreign and occasionally captivating sport that is soccer.

Auto Soccer is as simple as it sounds. Two teams try to knock a ball through each other's goals. The teams are comprised of destruction derby cars, and the ball is made of a 400lb propane tank. Let the games begin! Check out the gallery to see images of Auto Soccer or just watch the video. I've never been more pumped to watch soccer.
