    An interesting but probably not too odd of a story of lower level "pro" soccer in the USA.

    The article shouldn't say "a senior national team on course, at the time, to qualify for the World Cup." The only time Uganda led their group was after beating Egypt on August 31, 2017, which lasted for 5 days until Egypt took the lead back by beating Uganda on September 5. Even if there were negotiations with Uganda during those 5 days, I still think it's misleading to say that Uganda was on course to qualify.

    a criminal like Yan getting involved...lovely:

    Yan Skwara, commissioner of the UPSL, said “USASA has been communicated with directly and will serve as a intermediary with this business matter involving FC Minneapolis and the APL. I am confident a solution is on the horizon with all parties.”
