Looks like the Nutrilite Championship is still a go. I didn't realize it was in limbo. Shows how much I know. That whole mess with the USL and NASL is just so un-interesting. You can read about it at the Toronto Sun today. Here is a snippet.
Toronto FC will get the chance to defend its Nutrilite Canadian Championship crown in 2010, even if the Montreal Impact and Vancouver Whitecaps have no leagues of their own in which to play.
The Canadian Soccer Association confirmed this week that the three-team championship still is slated to go ahead as it has the past two seasons, despite rumours to the contrary.
The CSA made the decision to sanction Montreal and Vancouver in December, meaning that they still can compete for a national championship.
Both Montreal and Vancouver are in limbo as the United States Soccer Federation refused to sanction the North American Soccer League, a new circuit formed by rebel owners from the United Soccer Leagues. The USL's first division also was rejected. The leagues have until some time this week to strike an 11th-hour kiss-and-makeup deal that would satisfy the U.S. authorities.
