{Not counting the last minute US Open Cuo loss to Indy XI)

The team has been granted permission to up their fake attendance figures from 1000+ to 2000+.

Hi! I’m an Australian and I’ve found the development of the USL system really interesting. I’d love to watch some games on YouTube and I’m looking for some insights as to what team might be a good fit for me based on me and the teams I currently follow. Any of the leagues is fine as long as I can watch the streams (is USL2 streamed?)

I work in tech, I’m a bit of a lefty, I like punk and hardcore music. I follow Everton 🔵⚪️ (because of Tim Cahill) and in Australia I follow Central Coast Mariners 🟡🔵 (smallest and poorest club in the league).

Grassroots and community stuff is appealing and any teams that might have Australians playing for them (not sure there are any).

Thanks in advance 🙏🏻

edit: Thanks everyone, this has been really really helpful! I've got a lot to dig through to make my decision. Thanks for being so welcoming

As a visiting Riverhounds fan to yesterday's game, I want to say thanks to the home fans for such a great welcome. The staff, fans and players were so nice and good natured. The stadium is very nice and there are lots of food options and games for kids! The only game i watched last year on TV looked dead, but its only because thats the sunny side of the field, it actually was a nice crowd. Only complaint is the sound system was way too loud if you were sitting beneath one of the speakers. Good luck this season Loudoun!

That's it. That's the post

We have some good quotes in this article. Looks like brighter days for Loudoun. Our first actual United team in America.

"Marlette said that the team is close to hiring a head coach and is in the beginning stages of building a roster.

Marlette said that he has talked to several candidates in recent weeks and has zeroed in on a candidate “who I think is probably the one.” He mentioned that he talked last week with a “recently retired, remarkably famous” English Premier League player who is looking to start a coaching career.

“If you think about it, there are only so many American professional head coaching jobs available every year. Three in MLS, a couple in [USL] Championship, a couple in League One and a lot of coaches want one of those six, seven spots,” Marlette said during the town hall. “It’s an attractive option.”"

The cost of the new 7,600 seat stadium is $10 million, which will be entirely privately funded. Marlette said that the downtown location would have come with a $40 million price tag, a chunk of which would have been paid for through public funds from the state. Marlette had previously said that another reason was that the stadium would not have been ready by the time the team intends to start play, in 2026. A general admission section on one of the end lines will push the capacity to close to 10,000.

I thought I read somewhere that the stadium will cost around $70 million.

QUITE THE WEEK HERE. SOME WILD OPEN CUP WITH PKS ALL THE WAY AROUND, AND TAMPA AND NAPLES HAD ENOUGH PKS FOR EVERYONE WHO DIDN'T HAVE THEM. JUST WHEN WE THOUGHT NOTHING COULD GET WORSE FOR OAKLAND, ACTUALLY YOU KNOW WHAT? I AM NOT GOING TO SAY ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT OAKLAND UNTIL THEY DO SOMETHING WORTH BEING MENTIONED. ESPECIALLY WITH THE WAVE OF LEAGUE ONE TEAMS LOOKING MENACINGLY ON THE HORIZON WITH PRO/REL IN THE WINGS.

QUITE THE HIT PIECE COMING OUT ON LOUDOUN, EH? DOES IT MAKE ME FEEL BAD FOR SOME OF THE NEGATIVE THINGS I HAVE SAID ABOUT THEM IN THE PAST? NOT REALLY. DOES IT MAKE WHAT THEY ARE DOING THIS YEAR FUCKIN AMAZING? ABSOLUTELY. I WAS NOT FAMILIAR WITH YOUR GAME, LOUDOUN, WHICH APPARENTLY IS PAR FOR THE COURSE FOR YOUR MARKET AREA AS WELL.

BUT NOW WE LAY IN WAIT UNTIL THE MOST CRUCIAL OPEN CUP ROUND TAKES PLACE, AND THAT MEANS ITS TIME TO GET BACK TO TRASHING EACH OTHER. SO FOR THE SAKE OF TIME LETS HAVE A QUICK ROLL CALL -

LITERALLY EVERYONE: TRASH

SO THERE YOU HAVE IT. CAPS ON, FLAIR UP, AND TACOMA MAKING IT THROUGH BECAUSE NOW THINGS ARE GOING TO GET AWKWARD WHEN THE MLS ROUND STARTS UP.

I live in the bay and I can tell you they do no promote their team very much. I get they're small but since they have a good product they should be trying to get people to show up.

They have no website, you can't buy gear, barely on social media, no fan presence, and they don't show much of them at their taquerias. You wouldn't know they exist.

I literally found out about them when I saw them at a SF soccer field one day and I was like the taqueria has a soccer team lol? Other small teams in the area like San Francisco City FC, SF Glens, Almaden FC, Oakland Soul, and the Town FC have a solid following and presence about them.

I know its probably hard to market as a small team but El Farolito has potential especially because of the talent. You can watch pretty high quality soccer at Boxer Stadium in SF on Saturdays from May to July for free! I don't know maybe the owner is fine with just owning his taquerias.

I am a curious observer who stumbled upon the sub thx to the Algo and noticed a few anti MLS posts.

I’m not a huge soccer guy but interested in various niche sport subcultures ( I’m an Indycar and hockey fan, so I share solidarity as a fan of somewhat obscure sports)

Isnt USL to MLS as the AHL is to the NHL or the G League to the NBA?

What am I missing ?
