"Soccer is going to explode/mushroom/be the next big thing in America!"

investor hype mindset vanishes when truckloads of cash don't immediately start backing up to the stadium.

Spoiler: it's very fast

Not all heroes wear capes.

Some romance a microphone with emotion and flair the likes of which nobody has ever seen.

Footy on TV will never be the same.

(oh and he was a pretty decent footballer too 😉)

Hope it’s a Bernini sculpture of a retirement, Ray.

48 years ago today, April 9, 1977, pro soccer came to #FortLauderdale for the 1st time.

The @ftlstrikers.bsky.social defeated the St. Louis Stars 2-1 at Lockhart Stadium, & ever since Broward County has been the heart of soccer in southern Florida.

Today #FTLUTD carries on the legacy!

Over here trying to figure out what evel on the pyramid

"only exists as Bluesky and Insta accounts and a few trademark listings"

counts as
The USL is officially adopting promotion and relegation for its men's soccer system, becoming the first U.S. professional sports league to go to the model.

The structure will have three divisions:
1️⃣ USL Division One
2️⃣ USL Championship
3️⃣ USL League One

One of those names ring a bell?

Neveleff was briefly manager of @ftlstrikers.bsky.social for the Spring 2015 season.

Later he'd go on to manage Orlando City B, assistant manager for New England Revs & USA U-20s, and is currently also the manager of the Dominican Republic national team.

Verdict is in and defense wins on all counts
In the jury instruction, here are the four claims the jury must decide:
1. USSF/MLS conspired w/ USL to deny NASL D2
2. USSF/MLS conspired w/ each other to deny NASL D1
3/4 MLS monopolized the market for team membership in a D1 league (or injured NASL by attempting to monopolize)

Always love to see a former Striker still in action ❤️💛❤️
Texoma FC dropped a pair of announcements today, bringing on Jorge Corrales (Lexington) and Preston Kilwien (Tormenta). They’ll join Jordan Chavez to form a pretty experienced back line so far.

On this day 8 years ago, a Fort Lauderdale Strikers team took the field for the last time (...for now).

A U20 squad, wearing black and yellow, finished as runners-up in the Lauderhill Youth Soccer Classic on December 18, 2016.
