Toledo
Cincy
Sacramento
Nashville

Cincy has been amazing but part of me wonders what happens when it isn’t new and cool and there is no cup run? Like what have they really proven? I know Nashville hasn’t proven anything either but they have the SS stadium deal. I think it’s Sacramento. I’m wondering if they’re holding off to see what happens with Columbus/Austin?

I think I said a few pages back that Cincy would be the first one, and I thought that would be due to Columbus leaving, despite what appears to be strong support that could simply be redirected further south.

I don't see how Detroit gets a team. Of course I said that before and they moved on to the final four. Still, a soccer specific stadium would have made it a shoe in in my eyes. Instead we have Ford Field. Closed roof stadium for a league that plays in the summer. Perfect...

Sac is reportedly having ownership group problems and Cincy hasn’t finalized their stadium deal (and if they announce they’ll play at Nippert temporarily that deal could be in trouble). They’re supposed to announce the other teams in the new year.

Re: World Soccer XXVIII: Campeones de NorteAmérica.

Can someone explain the reasoning why on the EPL app, Tottenham is referred to as "Spurs" while all the other teams go by their town/city?

I don't know many of the EPL nicknames (Gunners & Red Devils is it). Do all the clubs have one?

"Rovers" often doesn't even use their city name. Which is inconvenient because there seem to be as many as Huskies or Bulldogs.

I think almost every squad has a nickname (e.g., "Cottagers" for Fulham). Remember that baseball teams didn't create their own nicknames -- they were bestowed by beat writers as shorthand. I dunno but I suspect association squads were named the same way in the mists of time.

So the FA Cup Final is scheduled for the same day as the Royal wedding, which presents a bit of a problem for the President of The FA, Prince William.

Whoops.

And it's the day when Henry VIII became a widower for the first time.

Plus
For I'm gettin' married in the mornin'
Ding dong! the bells are gonna chime.
Kick up an rumpus
But don't lost the compass;
And get me to the match,
Get me to the match,
For Gawd's sake, get me to the match on time!
