As It's Called Football reported here first on Friday, the USSF has granted the NASL provisional sanctioning for the 2011 season.

"This is a historic day for soccer in North America as we officially launch a new Division 2 league that will seek to uphold its namesake...We look forward to working with Major League Soccer at the first division level and the United Soccer Leagues at the third division level to continue to build on the foundation the have established to grow the beautiful game in North America."
So, NASL has won the war for D2 soccer stateside. Let the war for D2 soccer north of the border begin.
