For the short term future, professional soccer is over in the Tri-State Area. The New York Red Bulls’ season finished last month and the only other pro side to make a postseason (Syracuse Pulse) flamed out in their league’s quarterfinal. The FIFA World Cup is starting up soon but that comes with a ton of moral baggage (i.e. terrible host country). So what can fans do in the interim?
Well, it just so happens a soccer tournament kicked off last weekend across the state.
The New Jersey Men’s Open State Cup began its 109th edition on Sunday when lower division teams faced off in both qualifying and first round games.
