Amid the continuing troubles engulfing the USL's 1st and 2nd divisions, the league is busy
organizing their extensive lower divisions' 2010 season. Last week they announced the 2010
"alignment" of the Premier Development League (PDL).
The PDL is made up of amateur teams (with a few pro exceptions), and college-age players (with a
few older exceptions) who are, well, developing.
USSF President Sunil Gulati started off with pleasantries talking about U.S. World Cup, etc, etc.
Basically the Federation will take a direct role, operationally, etc. There will be a board of
directors handling any issue. There will be no commissioner. All disputes are dropped. Goal is to
have a stable professional league in the U.
Wow, it's been a rollercoaster month for soccer fans in the Triangle. As the frigid NCAA College
Cup closed out at WakeMed Soccer Park, RailHawks fans' excitement over the birth of the NASL turned
to anxiety over the fate of the upcoming season as the US Soccer Federation ruled that it would
sanction neither the NASL or USL-1 for 2010 unless the two leagues came to a compromise for the
upcoming season.

Thunder general manager Djorn Buchholz who is now the current GM at Austin, has been working on
signing Olum for several months.

AdamsBorn in Kingston, Jamaica, Lyle Adams is a 6'2" defender that was drafted 26th overall in

Though we're still eagerly awaiting the 2010 schedule (due out next Tuesday, per the team blog),
the Aztex put season tickets on sale this week:
Season tickets are priced at just $190 for adults and $150 for youth. The new
open-ended season ticket allows fans the flexibility of using one ticket at each of the 15 regular
season games or using multiple tickets for several games.
