As the impasse between Major League Soccer and the Players Union continues, the possibility that
the players will be locked-out by the league on February 1st when the current CBA expires becomes
increasingly more likely.
There is a mix of concern and fear amongst soccer fans in the United States about what effect a
work stoppage would have on not only the league, but on the state of the game itself.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK — Representatives for Major League Soccer announced today that a new
collective bargaining agreement has been finally reached between players and management, meaning
everyone bored stiff with learning the complexities of MLS's single entity system,
precedent-setting sports entertainment labour decisions, and whatever Kasey Keller has to say about
either, breathed a sigh of collective relief this morning.
From US Soccer:
CHICAGO (Jan. 7, 2010) – Representatives from the U.S. Soccer Federation, United Soccer
Leagues and the North American Soccer League will discuss plans for a Division 2 professional
soccer league in 2010 during a call on Thursday, Jan. 7, at 3 p.m. ET.
Reportedly Montreal Impact owner Joey Saputo has said there's a deal - one that
might have us party like it's 1990, when the Western Soccer League and American Soccer League
played separate schedules, then met in a championship game.
Big Story
The resolution to the deadlock over second division plans for 2010 in North America is of course
analysed all over the place: over 100 journalists and bloggers joined the US Soccer teleconference
yesterday afternoon. You can read the full transcript from US Soccer here.
I'll admit, I don't want to dive into this whole CBA mess. The more I look at it the more my
head hurts. I still believe and fully expect something to get done before the new season kicks
off.
Today a few bloggers out there give their take and keep us all up to date. The best however
maybe a summary from Jason Davis at Match Fit USA.
Finally, after months of back and forth, America's 2nd division is set and ready for play. The
United Soccer League (USL) and the North American Soccer League (NASL) will play in the same league
separated by two conferences of six teams each. The league will be overseen by the United States
Soccer Federation (USSF) for the 2010 season, and titled the USSF Second Divsion.
Not good enough. Just not good enough, dammit. If, come the end of the season, Harry Redknapp's
charges are sat in the away dressing room at Burnley and feeling sorry for themselves, then they'd
be wise to look back on this game and those against Stoke and Wolves as an indication on why they
did not succeed.
I'm not going to insult your intelligence by explaining what a big game this Cameroon vs Egypt
Africa(n) Cup of Nations quarterfinal is. Replay of the 2008 final (which holders Egypt won 1-0),
Samuel Eto'o, etcetera, etcetera. Instead let's focus on the form of two teams who will be planning
on winning not just this game, but the whole thing.
