NASL Power Rankings 2016: Week Twenty Two
Categories: NewsContinue Reading: NASL Power Rankings 2016: Week Twenty TwoA week after I called the NASL playoff hunt more or less over, but the seeding race heating up, we got a battery of results this weekend that narrowed the contest significantly at the bottom and lengthened it at the top. Three of the league’s top four teams lost, and three of the chasers won,…

NASL Power Rankings 2016: Week Twenty One
Categories: NewsContinue Reading: NASL Power Rankings 2016: Week Twenty OneWhat a week it’s been in the NASL. Not the good kind. For all of the facts, rumors, speculation, and #PANIC about the league’s future, it’s worthwhile to remember that the league is still very much going on. I know that’s a bit rich coming from Chicken Little, but I do write these Power Rankings every week. You…

NASL Power Rankings 2016: Week Twenty
Categories: NewsContinue Reading: NASL Power Rankings 2016: Week TwentyThe past week in the NASL was a curiously quiet one, thanks to two teams going on bye weeks (didn’t even know we had those this year) and just a single midweek game. But the action picks right back up this coming week, with two (really important) midweek matches and a full slate the following…

The NASL trundles on. It’s that time of year when the playoff picture is clarifying quite a bit, but there’s still so much soccer left to be played that it feels…

Opinion: Nothing Is Perfect And All We Have Is Each Other
Categories: The AngleContinue Reading: Opinion: Nothing Is Perfect And All We Have Is Each OtherThis past week has been a lot of everything and a lot of nothing at once.

Opinon: Everybody Chill Out
Categories: The AngleContinue Reading: Opinon: Everybody Chill OutOne of the great things about being on vacation in another country (especially when you’re in a place that speaks a different language), is that you can check out a lot of things that are going on in the world.
