let's hope that they have a longer stay than FCNY who just dropped out of the NPSL mid-season.

College Rewind: UConn ties Notre Dame, Virginia upsets Maryland and more
By JOHN BOSCHINI The nation's last perfect record is no more. Top-ranked Connecticut was held to a scoreless draw by No. 12 Notre Dame in front of nearly 2,000 fans in South Bend, Indiana. The draw was the first time the Huskies failed to win in 12 tries this season while Notre Dame continued...
simply put I've now gone from not liking Rafa much to actually thoroughly disliking him. Though I will put part of the blame yesterday on Backe with going to the bench way too late.
Henry's late equalizer helps lackluster Red Bulls salvage draw vs. Toronto FC
The New York Red Bulls needed a win against Toronto FC on Saturday to really boost their playoff chances, but for a team with just two road wins all year, a draw was probably the more realistic goal. Toronto FC nearly left the Red Bulls with zero points, but Thierry Henry stepped up to save Ne...
KFLY, he's a New Yorker and has had the same routine going on for years and it's worked very well for him. Seriously doubt that he's going to change for anyone now.

USL Pro Week 17: A Look Back
By JOHN BOSCHINI With Orlando City off until the middle of August, it's now or never for the Richmond Kickers and the Wilmington Hammerheads to mount a challenge on the American Division regular-season title. The results were mixed over the weekend with neither team making significant progress...
Hey Folks good afternoon: Please try and c'mon out to Long Island this afternoon at 5:00pm. The Long Island RoughRiders are playing the Jersey (Newark Ironbound) Express at St. Anthony's high school in South Huntington. This NY/NJ battle decides the Eastern finals and the winner gets a trip to the USL PDL final 4 in (I think) Texas. From what I saw on the pitch yesterday, Jersey has some better players on attack but Long Island is a very strong team. Either way, should be fun!

As I recall you played for a year in the USL PDL divsion with New Jersey. Would you recommend that same route for players interested in a pro career? In your retirement years, do you think that you'd be interested in taking an ownership stake in a USL/NPSL minor-league team or with a MLS team?
The SBI Questions: Ask Tim Howard

it's really too bad that they made the playoffs last year, it gave everyone a glimmer of hope. They were barely at .500 last season and have done nothing to improve the squad. It's going to be a nightmare of a season folks...

This decision on Portland might need to wait until 2011...from Soccer America:
If MLS is to approve the Portland expansion bid, it must either grant the franchise assuming the $15 million hole will be filled, or wait until discussions and negotiations complete the funding package. MLS spokesman Dan Courtemanche said last week the league might decide to name just one team for the 2011 season - presumably Vancouver - in the near future and wait on selecting a second.
The other funding sources for the $88.8 million package remain intact. Paulson's share is more than $24 million, with the renovations for PG&E Park projected to cost $33.69 million and a new baseball stadium pegged at $55.095 million. There are conditions and restrictions by which he guarantees repayment of the loans, and all events at both facilities will incur a 7 percent ticket surcharge to help the repayment process.
Not until the city council approves a plan that includes the $15 million portion can it enter into a binding agreement. Paulson has pledged $12.5 million and needs to raise another $11.8 million to pay his share of the projects, in addition to forking out the $40 million expansion fee.
MLS expansion race reaches final stretch
The race to MLS expansion in 2011 is in the homestretch and the race still looks too close to call even though two favorites have emerged. Vancouver and Portland look like the most likely candidates for expansion, but St. Louis hasn't given up hope, making for a final stretch so tough to cal...
