Short takes

• The North American Soccer League is still hoping to win a court ruling regarding its divisional status, but by the time it does, it might not have any teams left. San Francisco and Edmonton have folded. North Carolina has moved to the USL. The league has only seven teams, two of them expansion teams. At this point, it's impossible not to wonder if we've seen the last of the NASL.

• It's official: FC Kansas City, once one of the pillars of the National Women's Soccer League, is no more. All of the club's contracts and draft picks have been transferred to the new Salt Lake City women's franchise. Minnesota businessman Elam Baer couldn't figure out how to draw fans to FCKC games in his one season as a women's soccer owner, but at least a new team has taken Kansas City's place.

• The second legs of the MLS conference finals are Wednesday and Thursday, with all signs pointing to a rematch of last year's MLS Cup Final. Seattle, last year's winner, leads Houston 2-0 and gets to play the second match on home turf. Toronto, the league's best team in history, is tied 0-0 with Columbus but plays the second leg at home and gets Jozy Altidore and Sebastian Giovinco back from suspension.
