American soccer writing, history & data.
Please check out my Substack site where I post pieces on occasion about soccer.
I'm also on Bluesky if you want to see my more cheeky, off-the-cuff soccer (and other) takes. @dancreel.com on Bluesky
Some structural updates. We've added player, keeper and manager totals for those individuals! We've also updated the look of the site to make it a bit more visually pleasing.
As far as data, we've added player, keeper and manager stats plus match results for all the professional soccer leagues from the turn of the 20th century through the 1926-27 St. Louis Soccer League season. That catches that league up to the American Soccer League stats we've already added through that same season. Because of the overlap and importance of those leagues, we'll be adding each season for both of those leagues in tandem going forward.
We're currently working on the stats for the National Association Football League. That league ran from 1906 to 1921 and was an important precursor to the ASL. We'll also do the same for the Southern New England Soccer League which ran from 1914 to 1922.
For more modern history, we'll also going to start adding a ton of stats from the professional and semi-pro leagues in the 1980s and 1990s thanks to the great work of Scott Leach. This will include data from the later ASL season, A-League and the early years of the USISL/USL.
