The Carolina RailHawks destroyed Miami FC last night by a 9-0 scoreline.
That is not a typo.
With Miami FC on a 0-6-1 streak where they have been outscored 24 to 2, I think the top 7 in the USL 1st Division are pretty safe.
News & Notes:
- The sale of the USL by Nike has been finalized. If you want a job with NuRock Soccer Holdings, go here.
- Vancouver's match preview for Saturday night's Rhinos-Whitecaps game is up.
- The Champions League Group Stage draw is complete. Arsenal have to be the happiest club out there.
- Nike's internet ads are awesome from "The Pledge" to the new Theo Walcott ad.
- I like Umbro's new customization idea where you can submit artwork to go on the bottom of your boots.
- Seattle fans continue their internet mocking of DC United.
- One West Ham fan is really embarrassed.
- Sky Sports has some better highlights of Jozy Altidore's free kick goal for Hull City.
- At least Houston got a road point in CCL play!
- I have to pick up the soccer version of Moneyball after reading this interview.
