I finally updated the USL Championship combined table I've been updating about once a month to make it up-to-date for the end of the 2024 season. Some things I've learned doing this project, and some takeaways from looking at the end results.

• Next year, I might do it in 5 game chunks (per team), and keep a better track of time.
• In one year, Louisville and Miami put up one of the single best and worst seasons I have seen from a team in recent American professional sports. Not many leagues can claim such a bookend in one year.
• The USL-C's playoff format, meanwhile, might be the worst in American professional sports. A team with a -20 goal difference made it in, while a team with a +5 goal difference missed it. 16 teams is just way, way too many. If you're going to keep divisions, only take the top 4 to the postseason. Or, run a combined table and take the top 8. But 16 is ridiculous. Some of these teams shouldn't be touching the playoffs.

That is all.

Jordan Farr had never faced a penalty shootout previously in the USL Championship or U.S. Open Cup.

But after an up-and-down first season in Tampa Bay, he came through when the Rowdies needed him to send the side into the Eastern Conference Semifinals against Detroit City FC.

I'm a 22-year-old winger from Argentina, currently playing in the Eccellenza league in Italy. At the end of January, I have two trials lined up – one with a team in the USL Championship and another with a team in USL League One.

What's the level like in those leagues? And if things go well, how much do they pay? I'd love to know more since I don't know much about it.

Thank you very much!

In the USL playoffs, if it’s a draw after 90 minutes does it go to extra time or straight to pk?

Raiko Arozarena has been a key part to Las Vegas Lights' turnaround this season. On Friday night he played the central role in the club advancing in its USL Championship Playoffs' debut.

For both Rhode Island FC in the USL Championship and Spokane Velocity FC in USL League One, their inaugural seasons were aimed at being foundational.

Now both have made the playoffs, with Rhode Island the first true expansion club to do so since 2019 and Spokane only the second expansion side to reach the postseason in league history.

Here's a feature on how both got here: https://www.uslchampionship.com/news_article/show/1322568

Hey! I used to play in the 3rd division in Denmark and Greece. Unfortunately, I tore my ACL and had to take a two-year break. I returned to training about a year ago, focusing mostly on physical conditioning. I've been training intensely and have become extremely fast, with great stamina and overall physical strength. My technical skills aren't as sharp as before, I'm not saying I've forgotten how to play, but I'm definitely not at the level I was before the injury. That said, I’m now in much better physical shape than I ever was when I played in Greece and Denmark.

Do you think I have a shot at making it to the USL?

(I'm 20, 184cm tall and 75kh if this info helps in any way)

Just a shower thought lol. I am aware that they are mostly a money grab, but I am also wondering if for those brand new teams it may be different🤔 what do you think?

When I look at the USL Academy table I ask myself why don't the teams play more games during the year. They are very inconsistent. What could be improved so the players get at least 20 games in a year. Do the teams participate in tournaments that the league doesn't share on the page? Some divisions have 15 teams and some less, where the divisions with less team could play each other four times to get that number in... Just thinking out loud again lol Could USL Academy be combined with the Super Y League(or whatever it is called now) so the divisions has more teams.. U.S. Soccer had something good going, until MLS took over it, with the teams being under one umbrella...

Town love baby
