📈Gainbridge Super League Power Rankings📉 We took some time away just like the team, so here's the SUNRISE updated rankings after Week 10! The changes reflect both weeks combined since the last update two weeks ago. #EnergizeTheBay

Psyched to keep Lewis and Guillen as a core continuity of the Rowdies soul. But looks like we’ll see significant turnover for Dom’s first full year in charge. Curious if Cristian Ortiz comes back from his loan to Crew 2. Still only 18. 4 goals, 1 assist in 26 appearances (1,129 minutes).

Today, the Rowdies provide an initial roster update as preparations begin for the 2026 season. 🗞️ bit.ly/3XhoFDa

“We have certain things in common.”

Once again, they have rebuffed my suggestion of the “New York Fighting Yuki Tsunodas”

For the old school USL fans.

oh my god just make out already

To be awarded by Infantino in Washington, DC … 🤔 🙄

North Carolina is going on hiatus with the loose promise of a D1 return, a decision with huge ramifications for the rest of the USL. I break down the difficult financial future for the USL's clubs and why the league's upcoming reforms might be make-or-break. www.backheeled.com/north-caroli...

Man the reply guys on both sides of the pro/rel debate are the biggest losers lol

I saw this pic on WNBA Reddit and I have been laughing about this box-out for about 15 minutes straight

On the Tenth Day, He created the Europa League anthem and hence declared, “we are so back.”

Tampa Bay Rowdies:

2009 #NASL promo scarf status update. Only 4/11 teams hanging on, 3 of those in #MLS. Of the living, only Vancouver & TB still carry the same club name (TB of course had to spend 2 years as "FC Tampa Bay" due to IP issues). TB is the sole lower division survivor from this period. #USL

it really sucks to see the NWSL catapulted into the culture wars but it also feels like a huge sign that the league's strategy of staying quiet and hoping it all goes away doesn't work, both in terms of staying out of hot-button territory & ensuring players' environments are as safe as possible

With all sorts of empathy for North Carolina FC people, it’s been some hell of a ride - Traffic Sports - Post Traffic on the brink of collapse needing league help - Malik - Bad rebrand (imo) - Hop from NASL to USL - Bid for MLS - Downtown stadium collapses - Self relegate - Self promote - Hiatus

Woke up today to the news

It’s a good thing we have this nice cozy closed system that protects ALL of us from the economic perils of–

Messi still hasn't played a game at Audi Field yet through 3 years but we're going to move a game to Baltimore That He Surely Will Now Play and that's on top of the middle finger to the home supporters at a time when they have wrecked any buy in they had left

Spoke to Paul McDonough about the USL's hiring of Tony Scholes, the Premier League's director of football, to lead its planned Division One league: www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Looking like a true, Massive Club. #COYR @asromaoficial.bsky.social

Chief football officer Tony Scholes is leaving the Premier League to join USL as president of its new first division league and help to bring promotion and relegation to the USL and American soccer. Reporting with @oliverkay.bsky.social: www.nytimes.com/athletic/676...

Orders of dismissal filed yesterday for all three actions brought by Scott Michaels in federal District Court. Those are suits against Mediacom, Werner Roth, and the US Patent & Trademark Office. He's been extremely quiet on social media the past few weeks

Green and Gold through and through 🔰 Thank you, Forrest, for bringing passion, energy and countless memories to the pitch.

A Rowdies legend, always. Thank you for everything, Leo 💚💛

Once again I am begging USSF to establish formal Division 4 PLS standards, formalize semi-pro as a real category instead of just pro or amateur, and give these teams a way to step up without running themselves into insolvency. Amateur->D3 is the biggest leap in American soccer, more than D2->D1

Texoma FC will be self-relegating to USL League Two, while leaving the door open for a future return or partnership with pro soccer projects in North Texas. All 2025 players become free agents. This is not something I enjoy reporting on.

I thought this was a bit. It’s real. All of it.

Haven’t seen this posted here, but I think the NY Cosmos starting a chess club is rad as hell.

Updated my all-time USL Championship record tracker for 2025 (since 2011). Some notes: * Louisville's record PPG season bumps their historical PPG from 1.92 to 1.96, second only to Orlando City's 2.20 * The Rowdies bad season drops them from 1.74 to 1.68 all-time, dropping them below Nashville SC
