New USL Super League will rival NWSL and announces eight cities that will get teams in 2024

The National Women’s Soccer League could no longer be the sole top tier women’s league in the U.S. starting in August 2024. That’s because the new USL Super League announced on Tuesday its plans to become a Division 1 league on par with NWSL.

Eight cities will get teams for the inaugural season which spans from August 2024 through June 2025 (with a winter break in the middle). If all goes to plan, then five more cities will get teams for the following season.

Here are the cities receiving teams.

2024 Season:

Semifinal in Mexico's second tier ends with keeper punting one in from over 100 yards out

The 2023 Liga de Expansión MX (Mexico's second division) Clausura Final is set with Tapatío and Atlético Morelia emerging from their respective sides of the playoff bracket.

The semifinal between Atlético Morelia and Celaya (the regular season leaders) was particularly noteworthy with 15,349 attending Sunday's second leg at Estadio Miguel Alemán Valdés after a 1-1 first leg draw.

Celaya took a 2-1 aggregate lead in the 30th-minute but Atlético Morelia scored three second-half goals to advance 4-2 on aggregate.

AEK Athens fans celebrate Super League title with insane display of pyrotechnics

AEK Athens secured their first Super League Greece title since 2018 by beating Volos 4-0 on Sunday at OPAP Arena, and supporters celebrated beating Panathinaikos and Olympiacos to the crown by nearly burning their own stadium to the ground.

This is a scene you'd never get in MLS since "fireworks of any kind including, but not limited to, flares, smoke bombs, incendiary devices and pyrotechnics" are strictly prohibited. We're softer than Charmin over here. 

The Super League, however, clearly doesn't have a Fan Code of Conduct.

Gareth Bale sends response to Wrexham offer and it's not the one you were hoping for

If you are on the Wrexham bandwagon, you surely know that owners Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds have proposed that Welsh legend Gareth Bale come out from retirement and join their Hollywood tale in a series of funny golf jokes on Twitter – I mean, as funny as golf can be. 

Goalie scores last-gasp goal with his face, gets sent off after ref calls handball

We all have a reason to hate VAR: its stupid nano-sized offside lines, seeing penalties nobody else sees, the time it takes from the game to review plays — you name it. However, there are times when you wish the technology was around.

Or at least you entertain the idea after seeing how unfair life was with Spanish goalkeeper Manu García last weekend.
