That’s not particularly surprising of course. What I found a bit interesting was the following passage from the […]
With the news that Rocco Commisso, owner of the New York Cosmos (and chief protagonist in the various lawsuits against US Soccer) is scheduled to hold a conference call with the media tomorrow, we should be in for an interesting discussion as it pertains to these lawsuits. No word on what he will be discussing, but it’s unlikely that he […]
I’ve decided to set up a blog where I can occasionally write longer pieces than what is allowed on Twitter (at least without having to write 32 separate Tweets). This blog will be mostly focused on news/analysis/opinion of various legal happenings in the Soccerverse. Mainly United States soccer, with a sprinkling of FIFA-based nonsense where it catches my eye. I […]
