Union Omaha Soccer Club, LLC

Who knows how many next year? But, uh, a lot to play for.

I think that's Union Omaha, Charlotte Independence, uh, Forward Madison, and AC Boise, some very entertaining teams, all clinched so far.

But we'll see.

I mean, fingers crossed for our, our friends, Ryan, Brian.

So we're, we're excited about Chris.

He's got some traction in the USL with teams like One Knox SC and Union Omaha.

So if anybody knows any more USL teams, we're always looking to meet those types of folks, specifically for Synopsys and also for the podcast.

If anybody wants to be featured on the podcast on the USL side of things, that's an easy ask, and if it makes sense, we could tie them into, to Chris and, and Synopsys.

But recently, some more details have been made public about what the area's gonna look like in North Downtown.

And the proposed facility, soccer stadium, where Union Omaha is gonna play, uh, seating around 5,600, expandable to 7,000.

Millwork Commons continues to grow nearby.

Um, historic building on 12th and Nicholas is gonna become 140 room Millwork Hotel, which I think is really cool.

Mm-hmm.

What's going on in your head as a player for Union Omaha when he makes that move? Is that kinda one of those things where you're like, "Oh, I'm probably gonna retire after this year." [laughs] Like the Dion Neukirch story.

I don't know.

"I'm gonna retire after this year."

Now, do you know the last time they had a shutout that they also won a game in? I'm going to tell you it's further back than your initial guess or who that might have been against.

I'm just going to throw a team name out there.

Real Salt Lake and 2023.

You

don't think they've won a game by shutout in three seasons? I'm like, I really do think this team is bad.

No, it was last year against the LA Galaxy.

May the 4th be with you.

And David Lee kind of talked about like, we're looking for a different profile of player.

And Justin, we come into this game with the Independence second on the table.

Union Omaha still holding the lead, although they do have a one-game advantage over the Independence.

What are you thinking for this matchup today?

I just don't see...

This feels like a 4-1.

Independents are just too good right now for most USL spots.

It took a red card against Union Omaha for us to lose a match.

Without that...

Okay.

And then he is a Union Omaha or Omaha Union supporter.

Pittsburgh Riverhounds because he grew up a Steelers and Pirates fan.

And then also internationally, he likes the Arsenal.

As the playoffs approach, Independence is technically in second place on the table, but they are only back two points with one game in hand.

Uh, Union Omaha speeding up and getting an extra game played than anybody else in the league.

They're the only team in the league on 28 games played, and, uh, Independence on 27.

So, uh, we could easily right that wrong.

Uh, Independence and Forward Madison both with a plus 24 goal differential ahead of Union Omaha's plus 20.

Uh, that's your fight at the top of the table.

It remains, uh, Union Omaha and Independence, and kind of a distant third, Forward Madison.

And then a pretty significant drop-off to the rest of the league, who, you know...
