No, hubris killed the NASL. That's like saying "nutrition" starved someone to death. Jesus, the NASL was big hat, no cattle. Didn't matter...
I'm sorry, you were saying
The rare merger that hurts both leagues. The NISL started talking so big, couldn't complete either of its seasons with all its teams intact, and...
Incorrect, as always. I do not believe the USL has ever had a dispersal draft or an expansion draft.
Meanwhile, expansion fees help weed out the riff-raff. There's a benefit to that. I'm not sure how much benefit there is today in the constant...
Muller is credited with 365 goals in 427 Bundesliga appearances (0.85 per game). Both are Bundesliga records.
Co-signed. I own two of the red ones from MISL II, but the orange is just better. I wonder if whichever manufacturers any given league partners...
It’s exciting to add such a proven and storied team to the NPSL,” NPSL Managing Director Cindy Spera said. They've literally played for two...

Of course it would be beneficial. But, again...history tells us that getting people to agree and align and not go their own way has been the...
The "super clubs" who made up the Team Owners Association (TOA) which led the breakaway were: Atlanta Silverbacks (who had left USL in a pique...
I used to live like five minutes south of there. When I worked for the Blast, they played at Kuntz Stadium, which had been built for the Pan Am...
Someday. someone will write about how this went from serious soccer project with MLS aspirations to How Is This Still A Thing? I only know a tiny...
I see you're unfamiliar with Sakiewicz's work. :)
I am stunned Las Vegas still exists.
"Well, I see the Western Division as a two-team race, Bill!"
I missed that yesterday. DII teams used to fold a lot more often than they do today. But now there's a stadium there with no one to play in it....
Everyone always seems to jump from, "Everyone should come together for the good of the order" to "And here are the divisions and how the playoff...
