With the holiday weekend (which yours truly spent in California) and the World Cup going on, we have not had a chance to review any games, including the two Birmingham Legion games, so this will be yet another summary rankings post. Coming up this week is the final round of USL Cup games, although there are two Championship games being played tonight. Two teams have already completed their group games and are idle this weekend: Indy Eleven have an extremely thin chance of moving forward as a wild card; Sporting JAX are among the eliminated teams.
