I've been seeing a good deal of "USL vs. MLS" talk lately. Stuff like:
- "How does MLS get away with stealing USL's markets?"
- "If MLS is the top level league, why are they getting their butts kicked in the CONCACAF
Champions League while USL teams are cruising through?"
- "How did a lowly USL-1 side like Charleston Battery almost knock off powerhouse DC United
in the US Open Cup?

The Silverbacks website says "Silverbacks Men Sit Out 2009 Season." But given what a
struggle it is to build and keep momentum in the world of pro sports, I bet that this is the end of
this USL-1 team in Atlanta. Imagine if they were to try to start back up again in 2010, how many
fans they'd have lost, due to this "sitting out" season.

I realize that cooking up a headline about just about anything and how it relates to, or is
affected by, Barack Obama's candidacy (and now presidency) is a cheap and easy way to grab
attention. But I'll be honest with you. I think the Obama/soccer logo I made at Logobama.com is
pretty slick, and I just couldn't resist the chance to use it again.

No matter your political persuasion, how can you resist a blog post title like this? Would Obama's
election make soccer a major league American sport? (via American Soccer News' Twitter feed).
It's an interesting piece on Joe Roth, the majority owner of next year's MLS expansion team, the
Seattle Sounders.

MatthewLewis/GettyImagesThe English Premier League season is 38 games long, and at this point most
of the teams have played 10. That's about a quarter of the way into the season, so I thought I'd
post a quick, "how are Stoke City doing?" post. If you already follow The Potters and
attend watching parties with Chantico's Army at Cuatro's, none of this will be news to you.

FC Dallas saw their last flicker of hope for postseason play vanish Saturday night with a 3-1 loss
to Real Salt Lake. RSL got their first win in the beautiful new Rio Tinto Stadium, and Dallas got
served a heaping helping of offense, with a side of red cards.
Dallas will play their last game this Sunday, taking on fellow playoff non-contenders LA Galaxy.
