NASL Spring Season Comes To A Close On Saturday evening, Minnesota United FC secured the critical point in a 3-3 tie with Tampa Bay Rowdies and were crowned 2014 NASL Spring Champion. The tie put Minnesota at 20 points and clear of New York Cosmos (19 pts) and San Antonio Scorpions (17 pts) who kept the #FightForFirst alive until the last week of the Spring Season. New York Cosmos, by virtue of their 1-0 win over expansion Ottawa Fury FC, finished the Spring in 2nd place with 19 points. As a reminder, The Championship will feature Minnesota United FC, the Fall Champion and the two teams with the most combined points over both seasons so each point is critical. www.nasl.com/article/uuid/7eov50rxiu8p10ouobep5tvfk/nasl-spring-season-comes-to-a-close#.U5U26mco-po

CSA, CFL and NASL to launch an all Canadian soccer league The Canadian Soccer Association is involved in negotiations with the Canadian Football League and NASL to launch an all-Canadian league. There could be as many as seven teams involved, all affiliated with local CFL teams and playing in CFL stadiums. Hamilton's Bob Young is said to be the leading voice on the CFL side. The Ti-Cats owner was previously involved in professional soccer in Carolina. Although he had a falling out with Traffic Sports, sources say that relationship has been healed. The league would likely begin play in 2016, which the possibility of up to two teams coming in for 2015 (Hamilton and Calgary have been suggested). The three MLS markets will likely opt out. There is no word on whether teams independent of CFL teams (with the exception of the pre-existing FC Edmonton) will be considered. It's likely that such arrangements would be considered after the league was established. The league would be affiliated with the American NASL. The format would likely resemble Major League Baseball with two distinct leagues operating in close cooperation. There would be some inter-league play and the Soccer Bowl would likely be played between the two champions.

The Championship: DefinedWith the NASL Spring Season behind us and Minnesota United FC crowned Spring Champs, they have booked their ticket The Championship. The Fall Season is in the early stages, but its already starting to have significant impacts for which three clubs will join the Loons come November. When the NASL announced a new-look postseason format earlier this year, this is exactly the type of excitement and competition expected when it was decided that four clubs would qualify to compete in The Championship with the opportunity to emerge as Soccer Bowl Champions. The math required for The Championship is simple: Spring Champion + Fall Champion + Two (2) clubs with the best overall record = The Championship. www.nasl.com/article/uuid/5lr19nk3ab7p17tq06defhq0f/the-championship-defined#.U80tq2co-po

Soccer for a Cause Unveils Proposed Expansion of Toyota Field To Create Top-Tier Soccer Stadium SAN ANTONIO – Soccer for a Cause today unveiled a proposed expansion of the home of the San Antonio Scorpions – Toyota Field – to make it one of the nation’s premier soccer and special-events venues. “The escalating interest in the Scorpions and professional soccer over the past two years has been mind-boggling,” said Gordon Hartman, who launched Soccer for a Cause to bring pro soccer to San Antonio and benefit the special-needs community. “We are blessed to be a franchise playing in the North American Soccer League, however we must be prepared to expand once support and investment are secured to allow for additional opportunities. “We want to be ready to take our venue to the next level as fan and sponsor support in soccer continues to grow.
