Crazy finish at the End with Lindley's corner finding White's head to finish Miami Off! #USOC
Indy Eleven 1-0 Miami FC
Looks like Hunter Sult might be getting ready to sub on (supposedly for the PKs which feel inevitable)

Into Extra time for this Round 3 Cup Tie! #USOC
Can't believe Coiller bottled that clear cut chance that Kizza served to him on a plate. Shot it to the moon instead of the back of the net #USOC

Second half is as eventful as it can get without any goals!
17.04.2025 00:50 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Still 0-0 between Miami FC and Indy Eleven.
It feels like Indy Elevens goal is inevitable, the shots on target and off target are numerous and thrive on the attack.
But Miami FC showed they have claws, with very close chances. But Indy is clearly comfortable to keep Miami FC on the back foot.
We're about to start here at Mike Carroll Stadium!#USOC #IndyEleven #MiamiFC

Happy to announce that I will be covering the U.S. Open Cup Match between Indy Eleven and Miami FC on April 16th for TheCup.US!
Remember if you want to support independent reporting on the oldest soccer competition in the United States! Feel free to contribute so we can continue the work we do!
I have to say very disappointed by the match against North Carolina F.C. - despite the many chances created by Indy, they conceded in typical Home Ground fashion - in what feels like a loss of 2 points rather than a scraping of 1 point gained.

Would you like to learn more about the #USLChampionship and individual clubs before the start of the new season?
The good folks at @rifcpodcast.bsky.social have put together a great list of league, club and supporter-driven podcasts you can tune into. -> www.raisinganchorpodcast.com/uslpodcasts
Hoping Jimmy is working on getting someone in.

Also, Kristers Tobers sounds like a name from Narnia I swear.

I have to agree with this video entirely. The whole point of American capitalism is to promote meritocracy. But yet the professional sports industry creates closed systems/leagues that discourages innovation, growth and community development.
So, if there is another league you want to watch because maybe you want something different than the English Pyramid of Football. I encourage you to have a watch of the Scottish Football. I promise it won't be boring.

Thats just Aberdeen. Which has several players who play for their country too like Bulgaria, Montenegro, Finland, Ireland and Scotland of course.
The other teams outside of OF have hidden gems to watch out for.
The Scottish Premiership is vastly underrated. While Celtic and Rangers dominating is terrible. It's a great place to look for players who will get into the top 5 leagues. Aberdeen for example, had players who got their break and recently left for La Liga, The Premier League, and Serie A.
26.12.2024 16:05 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0That is a very valid reason for sure and I don't blame you at all. I never liked the ownership system of clubs for this reason.
I think we could benefit from a Bundesliga style rule of fan ownership.
As an aside if a MLS/USL team isn't near you then I would understand why, but local culture for teams is such an important part of community building that is often overlooked.
It's something that the NBA and MLB have done very well with teams showing connection to their heritage.
I think that as an immigrant myself it's kind of a shame that the Americans love football (soccer) loving premier League teams more than MLS/USL teams.
The love that people like John Green and Tom Hanks pump into the Prem (plus all the other wealth folks) could really be used for local teams.
