It’s worth remembering that Tampa Bay started this way last season also and eventually picked it up, but I’ve watched the full 90 of both of their matches and quite frankly I don’t like what I see. The standard is high there I will admit I’m judging them by the establish standard of the organization and club not based on a comparison to other USL championship teams, but I think there’s something definitely missing. They have a lot of guys out and I do think it’ll come together. It just doesn’t seem as dynamic as it has in the past.

Thanks, Jonathan! Pittsburgh, El Paso, and RIchmond have all been avid and foundational supporters of lower lev-l soccer with strong fan-bases. I hope they begin to show better form and don't lose their loyal fanbases......

A great recap of the two leagues. Some nice surprises this season, as overall quality really does appear to be above last year. But I'm not sure Richmond has a good path forward this year. Maybe things will improve for El Paso when they have a chance to catch their breath, but they don't look great so far.
