Originally posted by Anton Gramscescu View PostI am kind of looking forward to the new CPL. Not convinced it won't go tits up like the last one,in the early 90s, but it's nice to see all the excitement. Heart will be with Valour FC but practically speaking am likely to mostly watch Forge games (on basic universal local chauvinsim principles, York9 can go fuck themselves who do they think they are anyway?).

All Star game is v Atletico Madrid.
The fan team in the lower leagues in Detroit had the excellent idea of repurposing shipping containers as suites a a couple walkup bars.
Tim Howard is a minority owner in the Memphis USL team, along with the AA Memphis Resbirds owners. Who also bought Dagenham and Redbridge.

Fanendo Adi got busted for DUI.
12 former Whitecaps women's players released a statement backing what Ciara McCormick made public on her website last month.
There is a report on Twitter, which seems to be slowly gaining legs, that the Fire are being bought out of their lease with Bridgeview, moving back to Soldier Field, and being rebranded as Chicago City FC.

The Washington Nationals did that shipping container-bar thing when their stadium opened. Not sure if those are still there, but it filled a need.

Jesse Marsch to manage RB Salzburg next year.
If you haven't seen Sean Johnson's screwup, do so immediately.
New Mexico United drew 12,000+ again and encouragingly, 5000+ showed up in Pittsburgh for Riverhounds v Hartford.
NWSL opened as well. Tobin Heath imitated Lee Sharpe against Barcelona and the Spirit actually won a game, scoring twice after scoring a total of 12 goals all last season, and were televised on NBCSN Washington to boot.

Has anyone ever seen a map of lower-division of US soccer teams? I get that they are thick on the ground on the coasts, in the old union states of the north-east and the midwest and texas, but I get the impresion there are huge footballing deserts in the south and west. Is this true? Like, if I were in Alabama or Louisiana or Wyoming, where are my nearest football clubs?

Louisiana - none currently. New Orleans Jesters and Shreveport Rafters dropped out of NPSL over the winter.

There are useful maps of the three USL levels here.
Wyoming would likely be Salt Lake or Denver, though that isn't different from any of the other major team sports.

In a shocking twist never foreseen by anyone, anyone at all, MLS announced about an hour ago that they'll be expanding to 30 teams, and hope to announce #'s 28 & 29, at a price of $200M each, at the ASG. Welcome Sacramento and St. Louis.
Chicago Red Stars have done a thing. Every match for the rest of the season is on NBCSN Chicago or one of its overflows.

Toronto 4 - 3 Minnesota. Classic winning ugly. We're totally using that top allocation spot on Omar Gonzalez in the summer because when Moor's not there it's a complete shit show at the back. Also, I was unaware Vito Mannone had moved to MLS.
Fans are getting angry in Vancouver over those women's U-20 revelations. Good.

Personally, I'd be fine with splitting the league in two and having an east championship and a west championship with winners playing a home-and-home series at the end. This will bever happend, of course, but I think it would be fun.

CPL starts in a week. Do we start a separate thread?
While you;re thinking about that, here's a look at Forge FC's new mascot. And for the kit fanciers among you, here's the entire league's kit launch, all at once
