It may have been a draw, but that's enough to keep Phoenix Rising's unbeaten run in USL Championship going. Ihsan Sacko's first half strike helped secure a point for Rising away to FC Tulsa, despite the squad missing key players like Carl Sainté and Jearl Margaritha through international duty. Now, the challenge gets bigger: a road trip to Charleston, with multiple players on Pa-Modou Kah's side still away with their national teams at the CONCACAF Gold Cup. Can Rising still come away with points? Join Max Simpson and Owain Evans to discuss.

The Orlando Pride remained unbeaten in the state of California, but it wasn't easy. Barbra Banda snapped a scoreless tie early in the second half and the Pride held on against a barrage of Bay FC attacks down the stretch to claim another road win.

USL League One spreading out West is an essential part of the plan over the next few years (“Manifest Destiny for L1”). Forming a Western Division would cut down on travel costs and make a 3rd tier professional club more affordable to operate. It is cities like Boise that are the perfect fit for joining the USL Western Front. The intrigue for the city as a potential soccer hotbed piqued after two friendlies produced sell-out results in the recent history. There was an Athletic Bilbao vs Liga MX Club Tijuana in 2015 that drew nearly 22k people into Boise State (where the infamous blue turf was covered with grass for the event…). Then there was a very unique event - where a USL Championship regular season league game took place (Portland Timbers II vs Swope Park Rangers) in 2016 at a High School in Boise and sold out the field at 4,350 people. The feeling of it being a good fit for USL is proving to be true as the club have already sold 3,500 season tickets for their USL League One Inaugural year. That is even without the branding in place (which is set to be released on June 27th). There was a brief period where the local Minor League Ownership group (of Boise Hawks) was speaking with USL to get a USL Championship squad. But Covid changed the narrative there. Now the timing is right and an All Star Front Office composed of four individuals - each with a different, unique specialty, are the ones backing this new project. There's NBA Executive experience, US Soccer Experience, Idaho Youth Soccer, and Real Estate Development experience all coming together to give this project legs. The Stadium project is perhaps one of the best stadium projects in the Country at the moment as well. They are converting an old horse racing track into a 6,000 fan soccer-specific stadium that has an incredible mountain backdrop. Phase 2 of the stadium project, which will hopefully be necessary as USL institutes promotion/relegation, would add an additional 5,000 seats for a capacity of 11,000 people. Needless to say, I'm looking forward to watching how things unfold in Boise, Idaho and I appreciate Bill Taylor for taking the time to speak with me. Here's a snippet of our conversation.

A constitutional ban on women pastors and a proposal to abolish a public policy agency accused of compromising with leftists narrowly failed on the last day of this year's Southern Baptist Convention in Dallas. Close margins on both key votes demonstrated the staunchly conservative views of the nation's largest Protestant denomination, which counts 12.7 million members. In other news, the guardian and family members of an 11-year-old boy who died two days ago in Wylie have been arrested on child abuse charges in connection with his death. The young boy was found unconscious by first responders at his home on Long Meadow Road Monday evening; the proposed change of AT&T Stadium to 'Dallas Stadium' to comply with FIFA rules during next year's World Cup may be tweaked to include 'Arlington' in the name. and a battle between two professional men's soccer teams for a stake in Dallas' sporting future ended with the City Council unanimously approving a contract that gives Atlético Dallas, a new USL team, the keys to Fair Park's Cotton Bowl stadium and MoneyGram Soccer Complex for the next three years.

In this podcast episode, former professional soccer player Amir Lowery shares insights from his journey through the American soccer landscape and his transition into advocacy and leadership. A Wake Forest standout from 2001 to 2004, Lowery was drafted by the Colorado Rapids in 2005 and spent several years navigating both MLS and USL rosters, including stints with Kansas City and the Montreal Impact. After retiring from professional play in 2012, he launched a new chapter focused on social impact—culminating in his 2020 run for D.C.'s seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. Lowery discusses the origins of Open Goal Project, a youth soccer initiative started in 2015, and the organization's shift in 2019 from supporting players to establishing its own club. He outlines the current structure of Open Goal, including how many teams they field and the challenges they face operating within the U.S. youth soccer system. Lowery offers candid thoughts on what needs to change in the national setup, comparing today's youth development landscape to when he began Open Goal. He closes by reflecting on the best and worst aspects of soccer in America—emphasizing both its immense potential and the barriers that still limit access and equity.

Money makes the beautiful game possible, but what happens behind the scenes to fund a professional soccer franchise? This revealing Stoppage Time edition of Pitch to Pro pulls back the curtain on the complex investment structures that can make or break a soccer club.We dive deep into the critical role of the primary investor in professional soccer, exploring US Soccer's strict requirements and the valuable lessons learned from past failures. The tragic story of the North American Soccer League (NASL) serves as a cautionary tale—despite attracting global stars like Pelé in the 1970s, the league collapsed because owners couldn't sustain the initial years of inevitable financial losses. Contrast this with MLS, where committed investors who weathered years in the red now own franchises worth hundreds of millions of dollars. The episode reveals our exciting new partnership with Prospect Park, a group with extensive experience working with family offices nationwide and specific expertise in USL investments. They'll lead our search for a primary investor for the Northwest Arkansas project, with the goal of securing this crucial piece within approximately a year. Once identified, potential investors undergo rigorous vetting by the USL, ensuring they have the financial stability to weather challenges like we saw during COVID-19. Most importantly, we share why our project has become more attractive to investors since shifting to a new development model featuring a mixed-use facility on new land.Whether you're a soccer fan curious about the business side of the sport, a potential investor, or someone interested in sports franchise development, this episode provides valuable insights into how professional soccer continues to grow in America. Subscribe to Pitch to Pro for more behind-the-scenes looks at bringing professional soccer to Northwest Arkansas, and share your thoughts on what aspects of soccer business you'd like us to explore next.
