The Kickoff

USSF D2 officially opens up today with two matches:
AC St. Louis at Carolina
Rochester at Miami

There is no official TV, however, live online streaming is available from the teams website.

The NASL launches a new and improved website: http://www.nasl.com
Given the issues with MLS' new site, perhaps they should take some notes.

Former New York Red Bulls Goaltender Daniel Cepero has reappeared with the Harrisburg City Islanders.

Our thoughts go out to DC United rookie Goalkeeper Andrew Quinn. Quinn will be sidelined 5 months with a knee injury.

Crystal Palace Baltimore's game versus DC United today was cancelled. The official reason: weather. My speculation? DC United played terribly Saturday night and has alot of injury issues.

Austin Aztex Insurance Company

Former MLS MVP Christian Gomez has signed with Miami FC.

Austin signs forward Maxwell Griffin to a one year deal with a team option for two more years. Griffin is a UCLA alum who scored 28 goals in his college career.

Austin also released forward Leonel Saint-Preux and goalkeeper Ben Dragavon after failing to pass physicals for "pre-existing conditions."

Apparently, Austin is an insurance company.
