I grew up in Northern California in the 80s & 90s. I played soccer since I was 4yo and the NASL collapsed in what? 1984?
We didn’t know soccer was supposed to be dead! I ended up an All-California defender and had scholarship offers, which I blew with bad grades. Sometimes I wonder, though… what if

With a second championship in sight and Bernie Sanders’ support, Vermont is the US soccer state of the moment Vermont Green could cap an undefeated season in this weekend’s USL League Two title game, with overflow crowds expected once again

ICYMI ahead of tonight's USL League Two final, a look at @vermontgreenfc.bsky.social and the idea that in the closed leagues of US soccer, it is not just about the division in which you play, but also about who you are and what you do as a club, not just in your league, but in the community, too.

💚 Congratulations to @vermontgreenfc.bsky.social for winning the 2025 USLL2 ‘ship!
⚽️ Maxi Kissel scored the winning goal in second half stoppage time to defeat a very determined @goballardfc.bsky.social - it was a great game and a great moment for the club, league, and fans of lower league soccer!

🤍 Congratulations to Hickory FC for winning the 2025 NPSL Final!
▪️ Down a man, but up a goal, Tomas Pollacchi scored what would end up being the winner in a dramatic showdown with hosts El Farolito - a thoroughly entertaining final at historic Kezar Stadium!

🏆 In Oregon, the Latino owned and operated clubs have self-organized to create the Toyota Copa Güero. For six years running, but its more than 11v11; they have an over-40 tourney, youth, women’s 7v7, and of course, their big prize competition. Commendable, but also shows the failure of a state SA.

Let’s welcome Eugene to League One and for folks who aren’t familiar with the distances between things in the US, Glascow is closer to London than Spokane is to Eugene, Oregon #LocalDerby #PNW
