Re NASL: Just read last night that Howard Samuels, the NASL...

Joe, I have several books on the NASL and it is very clear from them that in the first years teams could bring in any player they wanted regardless of nationality. A lot of teams like Portland or...

Hi all, I just found the complete 1977 NASL Soccer Bowl on Youtube:

Amazing to see Pele, Beckenbauer and Chinaglia on the same team. Love the 4-2-4...

Montreal also has a U16 team in the USSDA. I think BringBacktheBlizzard is right, the Impact U21 team will probably join the PLSQ.

Wasn't this the first place the experts had him going to?

This is excellent news for the NASL. If the current teams stay strong, this will mean a good sized second division. I just hope Puerto Rico work out their financial issues and the Cosmos actually put...

Absolutely fascinating article on Kocic's journey in soccer. I particularly enjoyed reading about his journey in MLS. He was pretty smart to ask to be loaned to the Serbian White Eagles to get some...

I have to agree wholeheartedly with your post. When I covered the Impact in the early 2000s, I loved dealing with Bob Lilley. He always had a good quote or two(or three) for the Journalists. It made...

I'm not sure what to make of this. On one hand you want teams with their financial house in order to participate, but on the other hand it is great to have a team from the Caribbean in the league....
