From time to time as you all know we like to post interviews done by former MLSer Jared Montz. If you haven’t gotten into his podcast yet I highly recommend you do so now. Today he has added a new podcast/video interview with NASL or USSF Div II Carolina Railhawks Brian Plotkin. The two discuss…[continue reading]

Some will find this ruling shocking and others like myself will not. The USSF has told both the USL and the newly formed NASL that they will each not be sanctioned in 2010 unless they can work it out within the next week. According to a press release (see below) sent out by the USSF,…[continue reading]

I believe it was only really going to be a matter of time before things got real nutty with this whole USL/TOA/NASL/USSF mess. The Kartik Report found out this morning that the USL is suing the Tampa Bay Rowdies, Crystal Palace Baltimore and the Rochester Rhinos for breach of contract. The three clubs had allegedly committed contractually…[continue reading]

So the news came down today that the TOA league would be dubbed the new North American Soccer League. Yes the return of the NASL is possibly more about the name than the actual league here. The TOA group went for name recognition right away with this choice. The league has nine clubs now that…[continue reading]

Some big news is coming out today. The Team Owners Association or TOA is moving forward in their plan to break away from the USL first division and form their own league. TOA just released a press release making their plans public with the decision to move forward with a new division 2 league in…[continue reading]

Yesterday out at the Nike headquarters in Oregon the USL first division owners got together for a little meeting. It turns out the group does know how to play some hardball with the other group of owners known as the TOA who are planning to start their own league. The USL called it a new…[continue reading]

There isn’t much tonight for the evening links and thoughts. Got some USL-TOA talk and a brief thought about Kevin Payne’s fine from the league earlier today. But first there we gotta go back into the TOA-USL talk that we’ve been going around and around with for the last few weeks. Reports tonight suggest the…[continue reading]

This whole USL-TOA situation continues to take a turn for the worse. Today reports out of the Great White North say that both 2009 USL finalists Montreal Impact and the Vancouver Whitecaps will not be coming back to the USL in 2010. In a radio interview in Montreal, Alex Papadakis confirmed that neither of the…[continue reading]

It’s weird to say that its been another quick week for me here but it has, this week has flown by. Tonight’s links and thoughts may end up being a quickie. I had some things planned for the day and for the week for that matter but I never got around to some of them.…[continue reading]

While Major League Soccer is enjoying a slower week in terms of news and even games (yeah only three this weekend) due to the World Cup qualifying going on, the USL keeps rolling in the news. I just caught wind of another release via SoccerNet that goes into more details about how some clubs could…[continue reading]
