The Not-So-Beautiful GameMiami has a pro soccer team. No, really.By Chris JosephPublished on April 17, 2008 at 3:00amThey call soccer the beautiful game. In most parts of the world such as Brazil, Italy, Argentina, and England this is true. Here in the States, not so much. With 11 teams, give or take a club folding up every other season, the United Soccer League (USL) is generally regarded as a second-tier league behind the MLS if its regarded at all. The USL is where the careers of aging, once-great players, such as Brazils Zinho and Romario, go to die. So, no, USL soccer may not exactly be the beautiful game. But it can be mildly attractive.
