Hey, I'm happy.

It'd be hilarious if Herediano makes the final considering they only entered the group stage because Belmopan didn't have a suitable stadium to play in.

Y'all are still 3rd in the league.

I'm a Pumas fan. We've been shit.

Also, I heard Herediano is 5th in their league at the moment. What a strange result.

Wow, Ronaldo might move to the MLS?

*sees "in 2018"*

Oh.

Why is this even news? 3 years is a long time and so much can happen between now and then that it is sorta pointless to speculate or discuss this scenario.

Pro soccer league kicks for Bay Area franchise
Two potential ownership groups are vying for a Bay Area franchise in the second-division North American Soccer League.
...
The would-be Bay Area team has no owner or place to play — yet — but Peterson said San Francisco is "a city that holds a lot of interest for us."

Without naming names, Peterson said one ownership group includes locals; the other is a "foreign ownership group." The four-year-old league, he said, could make a decision to award a franchise to one of the groups in "the next couple months."

Hopefully this is more real than Virginia, or OKC, or the Canadian Football League - NASL partnership, or Kim Kardashian owning a team in LA...

We've received inquires regarding the SF Business Times NASL article published yesterday mentioning potential NASL SF expansion.

We can confirm that we have made initial contact to NASL regarding potential expansion.

I don't know what's more interesting, Montreal representing north America in the club world cup, or them collapsing 4-1 away leading to an all Costa Rican final

I'd say any Champion League final poster reading: Montreal Impact vs. Herediano is more interesting.

Updates from Sciaretta:
Mixed news on dual nationals today for U.S. Soccer. Desevio Payne to play for the U.S. U-20 team. Adam Henley to Wales for cap-tying games

FC Groningen spokesman confirmed to me today that right back Desevio Payne will play for the US U-20 team for the upcoming camp in London.

Desevio Payne has been seeing first team Eredivisie minutes recently with Groningen. He'll be a very nice pickup for the U.S. U-20 team

U.S. Soccer hires Belgian consulting firm

In its quest to "accelerate its mission of developing world-class players," U.S. Soccer has hired the Belgian consulting firm Double PASS.

Double PASS lists among its clients the Bundesliga, the English Premier League, the J-League and the federations of Germany, Belgium and Hungary.

“We are now ready to take on the challenge in your country to work together to produce more better players,” said Double PASS CEO Hugo Schoukens in a conference call with U.S. Soccer Development Academy (USSDA) club representatives on Wednesday. “The Double PASS USA project starts with what we call customization. It means the adaptation of our talent development model to the situational context of your country.”

USSDA Director Jared Micklos said the partnership begins with an analysis of MLS first teams, MLS Academy teams, and a selection of four other Development Academy teams.

“It’s a consulting project that has a large scope that has not been defined in all the exact details until we get through the evaluation task force,” Micklos said. “We’ll be looking at different geographies, different markets, different player pools, different sizes.”

The USSDA was launched in 2007 by the Federation and is now comprised of more than 100 clubs.
