NASL Files Federal Antitrust Lawsuit Against US Soccer

As Commonwealth citizens Canadians are allowed a 2 year "working holiday" in the UK. This does not carry over to the rest of the EU.

4 Canadian born players play in the English lower divisions, 11 play in the German leagues. Scotland and Germany seem to be the preferred destinations.

 

I wonder if the Canadian players in the German leagues are dual-nationals like many of the US players in German leagues.

 

finally someone speaks some sense.

 

USL -- It's Soccer! Hooray Soccer!

 

USL. It's like the English Second Division: Pretty Good.

 

I actually like that.

 

USL: We exist

 

I've written up part II of my story on the Amended Complaint. We should get some movement on one of the lawsuits this week, assuming USSF complies with the previous stipulation that is.

"Our games aren't played in a court; they're played on a field."

 

I'm trying to decide if the Hong Kong league match I'm hoping to see on my trip will be better or worse than USL soccer.

 

Hong Kong League goalkeeping?

 

Unless you're going to watch Forlan's club ... I'm going to go with suggesting you watch SanAntonioFC on Youtube while you're over there.

 

Probably not, the most convenient game to where we'll be is Rangers-Dreams. Kitchee would be the second choice, despite their tickets being double all the other games. That's only $20 instead of $10 American though.

 

I've never seen anyone seriously make this argument. Are you really suggesting talent identification is at such a level in this country, that it's difficult to see significant improvement?

 

Build one and they will come.

 

There was an American goalkeeper in their top division for a year, in 2015-16. Guy named Issey Maholo, former Boston College player, dual citizen of the US and Japan and apparently also eligible for citizenship in Cameroon. He dropped down a level after one season because his day job (in finance) wouldn't allow him to continue with his club's training schedule.

 

He's saying there aren't enough unturned stones that the CPL can turn that will net enough unfound talents to stock a league at the level of play the CPL targets for the player salary budget the CPL will be able to afford.

And to further his point, even if the CPL succeeds in doing just that at launch, it won't be sustainable because those formerly missed players will find a demand for their services from MLS and abroad that the CPL won't be able to match. Sooner, rather than later, they'll run out of stones.

 

Always wanted them to do a Red, Red Wine spoof commercial with Red Stripe.
