Onward!
Not the NASL
Oh, for Pete’s and pity’s sake!
So the Team Owners’ Association – the breakaway USL-1 group trying to form a new division-two pro soccer league north of Mexico – needs a name.
It’s a bit of a poser. History has already burned through United Soccer Association, National Professional Soccer League, American Professional Soccer League, A-League and United Soccer League. American Soccer League may be out there, but where your two biggest and strongest franchises are safely tucked away in British and French North America, that just won’t play sufficiently at home.
So they’ve gone and resurrected North American Soccer League. The biggest success – and most horrendous failure – in the history of the beautiful game in the Americas.
Not on my watch you don’t, buckos!!
