On this day in history: “On February 4th, 1971, the newest NASL team from New York City chose ”Cosmos” for its nickname. At the time, the club announced that it had held a “name the team” contest and that is where the name “Cosmos” came from, but as the club’s first general manager explained to club historian, Dr. David Kilpatrick, what really happened is far more interesting.”
Head over to the New York Cosmos site to learn more.

MLS and USLPRO Partnership
I’m a little behind, but I am pretty happy with the news of the MLS and USLPRO partnership. I was even more happy to hear that two teams I work for, D.C. United and the Richmond Kickers, announced affiliation.
Since United’s inception, they have had a working relationship with the Richmond Kickers. Three players on the original roster of D.C. United, Richie Williams, Jeff Causey, Brian Kamler, had been members of the Kickers. Those players had also won the Kickers only U.S. Open Cup title in 1995, before joining United.
As late as this season, the Kickers still have an effect on the United roster. Ethan White had been loaned out to the Kickers for most of the 2012 season (Long Tan was also loaned for one match). Dwayne De Rosario, United’s captain and the 2011 MLS MVP, was on the Kickers roster for the 1999 and 2000 seasons.
With this new affiliation, Richmond will receive a minimum of four players from D.C. Along with this new integration of the reserve squads from other MLS teams, the Kickers will play a home and home series with the Vancouver Whitecaps Reserves. According to the press releases from both clubs:
Additional technical and commercial initiatives between MLS and USL PRO are expected to be announced in the coming months once details are finalized.
This looks like it will be a very interesting year for both D.C. United and the Richmond Kickers.

No, he’s not that Falcao. But this one, the Falcao of the Futsal world, can play as well. The brazilian Futsal legend is coming in hot with one of the cheekiest plays you’ll ever see: a spinning backheel lob free kick that leaves the goalie completely stunned. Who says Futsal is boring?!
What do you say to that?

Madness at Standard Liege vs Charleroi in Belgium yesterday. The match was stopped several times because away fans were not happy with the performance of their team. They threw much pyro and a lot of seats onto the pitch!
This is crazy.
