I wasn't knocking anyone. I fully get that the size of the country make regular away games both unaffordable and impractical from a time...
I wouldn't place to much stock in attendance figures being announced (although I agree LV look like they are doing poorly at the gate.) However, I...
USL might not have had too much choice about whether to let the The Miami FC in. They may not have chosen to grant them a new franchise, but...
**Some of us here** trade more in realism. And Nisa Nation does not appear to have updated since week 1. I believe the "fanboy" concerned is a...
I don't think there is much point in arguing about individual actual attendence figures for specific games, but I think it is fair enough to...
Didn't the North Texas game follow an MLS match at Toyota Park?
I knew there were two Dominic Oduro's - saw one of them playing for Tampa a couple of weeks back, then noticed the name in another match report...
I do wonder whether attendance is really fine. Announced attendance is fine and I know that is what is discussed in this thread. However, it is...
Interesting to note that the Cal Utd logo has disappeared from the NASL website. No surprise that the San Diego link has gone since they have...
Basically, you are having the same debate as every other country with a leading professional soccer league - that the interests of the league and...
I suspect it is more likely that the team has been talking to USL for a while as a contingency and that next week is a USL deadline (the report...
Provided there is a season, I reckon Edmonton will be back in 2018. It seems unlikely the Canadian league will play until 2019, at least if they...
I think the big news has already broken - back in July if I remember correctly and confirmed in the recent court case. I don't imagine there will...
Does anyone know the likely timescale for NASLs appeal against their injunction being heard? Let’s face it no decisions are going to be made by...
All of which makes US soccer not untypical of the rest of the world. While your view might depend of your "metrics of suckage" you can't look at...
Looking at the highlights on NASL.com, I think you can safely say 9,000 did not show up. There appears to be plenty of space on the side opposite...
I think the idea that NISA is an option for San Diego in 2018 is pretty far fetched. They have 6-7 letters of intend for a widely distributed...
Measuring the success of an MLS2 side in terms of player development is such a subjective thing. Is it a success over 5 years if: (i) It develops...
If the EPL was starting today as a new competition with a blank piece of paper do you think the owners signing up would willingly incorporate...
It is true that winning achieves nothing, if people don't know that you are winning. However, if you have a semi competent marketing department,...
So the Des Moines "big news" turned out to be a visit to a coaching session by a Barcelona player, not an announcement of going pro.
To be fair, I think you'll find the megalomaniacs vision was to build NASL to be a rival to MLS or even eclipse MLS as the top league in the USA....
Have you been there? In common with a number of Italian grounds the Stadio Luigi Ferraris can have a fantastic atmosphere, but one of the best...
It would certainly remove any chance of being in no 25 and 26 for MLS, but maybe not slots 27 and 28. I don't believe the league was specific...
I seem to recall Cleveland Stars accepted promotion from USL-2 to USL1 and only lasted one season.
