By Robert ScorcaEven though I am a very big fan of Miami FC, I am often puzzled by the way they do business. When
it comes to the way they are towards the fans and the Miami Ultras they have been great. They have
always made me feel special and appreciated. I have not heard any complaints in this area.
I love US Soccer Federations press releases. I have every sympathy for why America's governing
body cannot reveal much information on private and legally sensitive ongoing disputes, but there's
something about the dry and cryptic teasers of information that amuse me to no end.
The big news of the day came early this morning with Kartik Krishnaiyer broke the news that the

Suazo scored 3 goals in the 2-game finalHumberto "Chupete" Suazo put Monterrey's third title in the icebox with his 90th minute breakaway.
The Chilean striker, along with Aldo de Nigris, made sure that Monterrey would not let their
opportunity to win the trophy slip away. The same can't be said for Cruz Azul, who unfortunately
for them, are turning into next year's champions – the bridesmaids of Mexican futbol.

I haven't had as many posts on the lower divisions of US soccer as I should, but this latest news
will motivate me to do so. The USSF has declined to sanction neither the USL First Division nor the
new NASL as a second-division soccer league for the 2009-2010 season. The NASL is composed of
breakaway clubs from the USL First Division, and since the end of the USL season a number of clubs
have defected to the NASL so that now it has just four members.
