For the majority of this winter, it looked like second division soccer in the United States was extinct. Squabbling between the newly-formed NASL and established USL left the second tier hanging in the balance.

Besiktas consolidated fifth spot in the Turkish Turkcell Super League with a 4-1 home success over seventh-spotted Genclerbirligi.
This was the first game, Besiktas scored 4 goals, in the one game, this season....
Substitute Hursut Meric looked to have earned the visitors a point when he cancelled out Tomas Sivok's opener seven minutes into the second half, but three goals in the last 11 minutes secured the win for Besiktas.

For the majority of this winter, it looked like second division soccer in the United States was extinct. Squabbling between the newly-formed NASL and established USL left the second tier hanging in the balance.

The Carolina RailHawks dropped their first match of their young 2010 campaign on Friday night at Wake Med Soccer Park at the hands of first-year franchise Minnesota Stars one-nil.

Minnesota came into the game with a determination to come out of WakeMed with three points to their name and that's exactly what they did.

The Carolina RailHawks downed Southern Derby rival Charleston Battery 2-1 in a friendly today at Blackbaud Stadium in Charleston.

The match, which received limited publicity from either team in advance, was played in front of a largely empty stadium. The first half ended 0-0, but the RailHawks will have felt they lost the first half when Kupono Low was tackled hard just before halftime and had to leave the game with a knee injury.

Inside Minnesota Soccer's Brian Quarstad has organized a great 2010 USSF D2 Pro League Preview for the upcoming season.

IMS's preview will give you an quick look around the league as NASL and USL set to embark together on the 2010 campaign. The previews of each team were submitted by fans and writers following each of the teams giving a unique local perspective of each team's situation.
