With little in the way of league soccer to cover, we spend a few minutes on 1860 Munich’s financial troubles that may lead to the team being dissolved. We also review the MLS, USL, NASL and NWSL standings and stats. All that and much more on this week’s We Call It Soccer! You can subscribe…
Wes won the lottery by being willfully ignorant of the depressing results from the weekend, so it’s on Jeff to carry the water. Christian Ramirez wasn’t called into the Gold Cup Squad, which is borderline criminal negligence.
