With the news the other day that Cosmos chairman and CEO Paul Kemsley resigned, you just knew something…[continue reading]

  Most soccer fans in the US had their attentions on Detroit last night (who have MLS ambitions of their own) but the one place Major League Soccer would like to expand to next had a little international game of their own last night.
