"2011 debut of USL PRO, which will be governed by team owners and present the highest level of competition in the United States, Canada and the Caribbean outside of Major League Soccer (MLS)" Sounded like USSF Div 2 to me but USSF Div 2 in 2012 maybe...? - It would make sense to delay the Application at first IMO & USSF could always APPOINT them as Div 2 if they chose to - It;s not like the remaining NASL USSF Div 2 Teams (IF their are ANY in 2011) are really gonna be any better than the Div 3's anyway ~! _________________________ The Charleston Battery go to USL2 to rescue all of SOCCER on planet Earth as we know it...

Given the new USSF guidelines for USSF Div 2 the USL really did'nt have a tough decision here at all IMO ~! - It was already made for the Leauge & the Owners - When the true Powers That Be hand you no choice it aint REALLY a decision that's needed.. just a plan & this plan should work - I can't WAIT to see the NASL's "plan". _________________________ The Charleston Battery go to USL2 to rescue all of SOCCER on planet Earth as we know it...

Allison A Hall Of Famer Registered: 12/17/98 Posts: 5156 Loc: Portland, OR	This is pretty much what I expected USL had to do, and I think this may kill NASL2 which would mean no Division 2 next year. I would think this league, with it's lower financial committment and travel costs with it's regional setup, would be a more attractive options for some of the less stable NASL2/USL1 teams. The USSF's new standards were basically a put-up or shut-up to the NASL2 group, and I think they won't be able to commit 8 teams to those standards.

NASL is mostly mirth-inducing at this point, but the above assertion strikes me as a distinction without a difference. Was it not a put-up or shut-up to USL2 teams as well? Isn't USL PRO an admission that USL does not have 8 teams that meet those standards? _________________________ http://nathan3e.blogspot.com/

DanB Hall Of Famer Registered: 12/10/98 Posts: 2926 Loc: Maple Grove, MN, USA	Well, that is a valid point, for sure. They (the USL) were also unable to satisfy those new standards at this point in time. Their strength is that they have the ability to restructure and survive quite nicely when all is said and done. _________________________ For the Fans, by the Fans .:. Men's Pro Soccer in Minnesota
