    Nice!

    If you can, have a look at the last minute of the DC United game against Orlando, and watch Wayne Rooney hustle his arse off.

      Or look at the "Is He Still Playing" thread

          Attn: Gero. las vegas lights are going to be dropping $5k worth of cash from a helicopter at a home game soon.

          Attn: JV. Ron Newman died yesterday. Also, the Dallas Sidekicks are back, again.

          Laurent Ciman is gone, to Dijon.

          Montreal and SJ exchanged strikers at the trade deadline, Oduro for Quincy Amarikwa.

          Washington Spirit sacked Jim Gabarra, then got just under 8K to turn out at Audi Field on Saturday to see them get dismantled by Portland Thorns.

          Austin's USL team announced they would be Austin Bold FC. Good luck with that.

          Rochester Rhinos owners said they will return, in D3, in 2020, and will spend the meantime looking for a place for a new stadium. Yes.

          The startup D3 league that Peter Wilt bailed on might finally be putting itself forward for USSL sanctioning soon, along with a bid from some NPSL teams to go pro also at D3.

          Minnesota signed a Brazilian d-mid.

          eta: ESPN+ has added Serie A, the J-League, and the A-League, with one Serie A game to be shown on a broadcast channel every week.

            Lovely guy, Ron - I've posted the transcript of the interview he gave me five years ago this week, which was so long I could only use a few bits for the book.

              Clint Dempsey retired.

              The Memphis USL team next season is going to be named Memphis 901 FC.

                    UGH.

                      Something about Miami being an "international cosmopolitan city" and passion for the world's game and so forth, no doubt?

                        The CPL is scrambling for an 8th team after Ottawa Fury pulled out and stays in USL next year.

                        Orlando is bringing back its reserves in USLD3 next year. Penn FC and Richmond Kickers might drop down for next season also.

                        Whitecaps signed a Dutch striker; SKC re-signed 4 of their vets.

                        Someone is putting together a pro league in Puerto Rico and says they'll have $200M to build/upgrade 10 stadia.

                            So, I've learned that Zack Steffen is possibly the USA goalkeeper of the future. I think anyone who is old enough to remember local TV commercials in Southern California from the 1980s can't help but hear his name and go "Steffen...Zaaaaack Steffen!"

                              Oh yeah, and Sigi has resigned. Dom Kinnear to take over as Galaxy head coach.

                                  Some wag quickly pointed out the potential for a derby match against a team of local HVAC contractors.

                                          San Jose sacked their coach, and may have already interviewed a no longer burnt out Caleb Porter.

                                            Carl Robinson is out at Vancouver.

                                            Our long international nightmare is over.

                                              Not too surprising — though the playoffs still aren't completely out of the question. It's been clear for a year or more that he'd run out of ideas. Question is, will it be enough? Will the front office remain unchanged, and who'll be in charge of spending the Alfonso Davies money?

                                                USOC Champions are the team in 18th in the league, Houston 3-0 Philadelphia.

                                                Lansing might get a team in D3.

                                                And the USL has gone full English. Next year the 2nd through 4th divisions will be named the USL Championship, USL League One, and USL League Two.

                                                  Alexander Ring retired from international soccer.

                                                  RSL re-signed Rusnak to a lengthy extension.

                                                  Tampa Bay Rowdies are finally being sold.....to the Rays.

                                                    I wonder what the plan is. Do they want to try to build a baseball stadium at Al Lang if the Tampa thing fails? That was the site they were looking at in the past and it would be better than where the Trop is. Do they want to build a soccer field along with a new stadium in Tampa and bring the Rowdies to MLS?

                                                    Either way, it’s good for the Rowdies in the short run. They’ve been crap lately and the organization is a bit unstable. The Rays are, contrary to popular perception, a well-run organization that’s good at squeezing value out of not much.

                                                    I don’t know if there’s much chance of the Rowdies ever getting into MLS, but the Rowdies are fairly well-supported. St Pete is a good place for a second tier soccer team, but maybe they, like the Rays, need to be in Tampa to draw MLS-sized crowds.
