    Well, Army soldiers, we're up to version 3 of the design, and we're getting great feedback on the scarf. Additionally, we've managed to get enough order, so that the per unit cost will only be a maximum of $16/scarf.

    We're looking to place the first order for the scarves on December 19th .

USL & MLS: A Grand Unified Theory

8
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?

Atlanta Silverbacks USL-1 Shut Down

2
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. Click to continue reading...

More Obama/Soccer Connection

0
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. Click to continue reading...

An Obama/Soccer Overlap?

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. Click to continue reading...

Stoke City Season Update (Game 10)

0
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. Click to continue reading...

No Playoffs for FC Dallas

0
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. Click to continue reading...
