| | USATODAY.com - USL shuffling could lead to Euro-style league (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15) |
 | | The USL announced Wednesday that it would eliminate the name "A-League" and re-brand its two professional leagues as the USL First Division and USL Second Division. |
 | | Holt said the rebranded Second Division will be an ideal place for owners to test the professional soccer waters, which will ultimately ensure a more stable First Division. |
 | | The Second Division will have limited travel costs because all the teams are in the East — 2004 Pro Select League finalist Charlotte Eagles, Harrisburg (Pa.) City Islanders, Long Island Rough Riders, New Hampshire Phantoms, Northern Virginia Royals, Pittsburgh Riverhounds, Western Mass Pioneers, Wilmington (N.C.) Hammerheads and a new franchise in Cincinnati. |
