NASL Soccer Bowl 2014 will consist of two teams with a big sporting history... and (if you're dumb enough to believe Ft. Lauderdale = Miami) a rematch of the NBA Finals.
Of course, that joke won't earn me any brownie points with the Strikers supporters, but this game will be the most widely available NASL game of the year: ONE World Sports will broadcast it, as well as ESPN3.com. I also know that the Strikers put on one of the most impressive defensive displays I've ever seen in a do-or-die game, referee mistake aside. I think that Contofalsky is going to have to stand on his head on November 15th if Ft. Lauderdale have a shot at winning the Soccer Bowl. As for San Antonio, they will look to pepper the Strikers defense with plenty of scoring opportunities. However, it also took extra time to decide their match at home against the NY Cosmos. The Scorpions have a deadly attack, with Forbes being their most creative player, leading the NASL with 7 assists in 2014. Not to say that Ft. Lauderdale's attack is bad (their main striker Fafa Picault has 12 goals on the year), it will be an exciting match that I think will come down to who can find the net, and which goalkeeper will turn up to be ready to make some big saves.
Prediction: SA 3-2 FTL
