Three of the four referees have been removed from tomorrow's championship game because the league somehow forgot about wanting an all-female crew until just now. This seems all sorts of problematic because A) the game is tomorrow and B) this has potential lawsuit written all over it.

I'm curious because my team the Oakland Soul lost and won't be able to see anymore games =(. I don't know the format and if a particular team gets a home match each round . Kinda sucks to think I could've saw more home games if the Soul won but thats why I'm asking because I don't know.

NC Courage U23 4-0 Lancaster Inferno FC

Minnesota Aurora FC 1-2 Indy Eleven

AHFC Royals 0-1 Tennessee SC

Detroit City FC 3-0 River Light FC

Long Island Rough Riders 2-1 Eagle FC

FC Olympia 2-1 Oakland Soul SC AET

Florida Elite Soccer Academy 1-2 Asheville City FC

California Storm 0-3 Colorado Storm

I noticed lineups change from game to game or at least with the team I watch the Oakland Soul. Some of it is based on quality of opponent bc they beat up on a lot of teams but most players are on summer break and may have other plans. I'm just wondering the factors that go into it.

I regularly watch the Oakland Soul and SF Glens in the bay area. They definitely have some players from top quality schools like Stanford and Santa Clara but I don't know if its exactly like watching a D1 school when I'm at these games. Just wondering how good of quality I'm watching.

I've gone to all of Oakland Soul's home games. I'm starting to recognize some of the players but it seems like they have different players starting almost every game.I don't know if some players aren't available or if its strategic.

I don't believe most teams get paid and that money is more tight because they don't have the funding. I go to Oakland Soul games and they have a really good atmosphere. Their ticket prices are expensive but maybe that's all they bring in and that's how they pay to rent the field. I like to think attendance is their mains source of income and it's just to have the games. I don't know if that's how it works and I don't know how soccer teams operate financially.

Hi everyone,

As Pittsburgh will be gaining a USL W team next year, I am looking to see if there are any podcasts of sites that cover USL W. In a former life I covered the riverhounds for a year and would like to cover the Pittsburgh USL W team (without stepping on anyone's toes obv).

If there are any podcasts/sites/etc that covers USL W I'd like to know and potentially reach out regarding the Pittsburgh opportunity.

Thanks!
