Giorgio was one of soccer’s legendary figures and we’re honored and grateful to have had him as a part of the SiriusXM family.

Another source was able to tell us that one committee has yet to see any documentation or be advised on the situation. This suggests that the process may not be as far as expected. I thnk everyone can agree
Another team left USL-1 today as the Rhinos chose to join the revived NASL rather than stay in a depleted USL-1. It will be interesting to see what the remaining USL-1 clubs will do.
