With the NWSL schedule out and MLS in preseason, I’m thinking about the coming soccer season, and curious what it will be like for my local USL2 and USLW teams. I suspect they’ll play through the World Cup; last USLW season was from 5/4 - 6/29. Maybe those games will be empty because there’s just too much soccer going on? Or maybe full of traveling fans sampling the local soccer culture and local World Cup boycotters jonesing for a fix?

Well having moved to a city without an MLS team just means I get to support local soccer via the USL-W in this case. First game and personally happy to see a good turnout (on the side not in the picture) #USLW #SupportLocalSoccer
