Today, we're joined by the NASL commissioner David Downs to talk about why the league saw Ottawa as a strong candidate for expansion, the ongoing stadium lawsuit and if it could interrupt the 2013 launch and whether he sees Canada as fertile ground for more expansion.
He also gets into the Ft. Lauderdale stadium situation, updates on their efforts to secure a proper TV deal and how Vancouver and Montreal still believe in the NASL model.
The archived interview with Downs is now up.

Also, there will be no live show tonight. The regular show will return on Friday with ESPN's Jeff Carlisle to talk about the Women's World Cup and we'll be joined by a member of the Canadian team.
