To say the North America Soccer League (NASL) had a really bad day, on and off the soccer pitch on Wednesday, would be a gross understatement. The day started with Chairperson Aaron Davidson being arrested as part of the United States Department of Justice’s sting against high ranking FIFA executives and other individuals for their alleged corruption, racketeering, and other charges. It ended with the league being swept by the USL (6-0-1, 1-0 in PKs) leaving only two NASL clubs advancing to Round 4 of the 2015 US Open Cup.
On the positive side, the USL found success by going a combined 11-4-1 (1-0 PKs). Elsewhere, the USASA’s PSA Elite advanced to the Fourth Round for the second year in a row and since they are the last amateur club standing, they earned the $15,000 Division 4 prize money. Not to mention, they also earn a date with the defending MLS Cup champion LA Galaxy.
