Atlanta Silverbacks Park is planning an indoor facility at its multi-million dollar complex near Spaghetti Junction in northeast Atlanta, according to a county filing.
The new facility could be similar to Atlanta Silverbacks Suwanee Indoor, a 48,000-square-foot facility with two indoor multi-purpose turf fields, a concession area and a room that can seat up to 50 people.
Silverbacks Park has four full-size soccer fields, including one inside the 5,000-seat stadium, which is home to the Atlanta Silverbacks men’s professional soccer team and the Atlanta Silverbacks Women semi-professional team. The complex also hosts numerous soccer leagues, is home to the Atlanta Renegades Rugby Club, and is regularly used as a practice site by local youth soccer clubs and high school teams, according to its website.
The Silverbacks joined the North American Soccer League for its inaugural season in 2011 but were operated by the league last season while it searched for a long-term local ownership group.
The NASL ended its operation of the Atlanta Silverbacks in January.
However, the club was bought by Atlanta Silverbacks Park and Atlanta Silverbacks Suwanee Indoor ownerBorris Jerkunica (chairman), John Hardin, John Latham, United Futbol Academy and A+ Sports Management Group, and now plays in the National Premier Soccer League.
The Tennessee State Soccer Association will host its annual adult soccer tournament the weekend of
November 5-6 in Murfreesboro, at Richard Siegel Soccer Park.

Seattle
Mr. Jordan Morris has now scored the winning goal in five Sounders matches this season, an MLS rookie record (impressive considering the team has ten wins.) Now you can watch them all here.
Here's hoping Morris makes this video outdated before the 2016 season is over.
The game-winner is just one of several plays from the Sounders-Whitecaps match featured in MLS' Plays of the Night.
The 1-0 win was much-needed for MLS Playoffs seeding, but didn't help much in the defense of the Cascadia Cup. With one match left, the most likely retention scenario is a Sounders 3+ goal win over Vancouver and a 3+ goal Vancouver victory when they play Portland on October 23.
Young Alex Roldan scored again for Seattle U, earning a victory over the College of Charleston Cougars. The team won again on Sunday, and next will play the Washington Huskies (who also downed Charleston). The women blanked Gonzaga in a 1-0 victory.

After missing the postseason for their first eight straight years, Toronto FChave ridden the back of Sebastian Giovinco to two straight playoff appearances.
Jack Jewsbury has been a solid player for the Portland Timbers since their expansion season in 2011, and now has a retirement planned for the end of the season.
USNT
More people know about Megan Rapinoe today than at any point previously in her career. Despite boos and criticism around her kneeling protest before the United States' wins vs Thailand and the Netherlands, Rapinoe says she's happy that the conversation is "picking up steam." After admonishing her last week, the United States has decided not to punish Rapinoe for the stance.

Congrats to all who participated in the largest Beer City Cup to date! And even more congrats to our finalists and ,of course, especially to our Champions!
The 2016 edition featured 3 Champs from the Atlanta area, 1 from Florida, 1 from Asheville, NC, 1 from the Triad in NC.
In the Men's Open Division, 4 time consecutive champ Blue Ion was ousted in the quarterfinals by newcomers T-Puppies (Wofford's finest alums). T-Puppies then made a run to the finals after squeaking by perennial contender GO United in kicks in the semis. First time participants, Florida Kickers and T-Puppies then put on a Beer City Cup classic in front of a record crowd nearing 1000.
In a game that had 4 lead changes and the T-Puppies leading late due to some fantastic keeper heroics the Kickers wouldn't be denied. With only 3 minutes remaining, the Kickers center back uncorked the laser of all lasers from 30+ yards which sizzled past the red hot T-Puppies keeper. The crowd erupted and the game was level. The Kickers then rode the momentum to the game winning set piece goal with only a minute remaining. Truly a game to remember.
In the Coed final the Frienemies of Asheville leapt to a 4-0 lead and held off the "always in the hunt for the Cup" Realcoholics (Knoxville, TN). The Realcoholics scored twice late to creep back in to it, but ran out of time to mount a serious comeback. This is the second Beer City Cup title for the Frienemies, who bounced back impressively from not even making it out of group play in 2015. Two time defending champ Easy Riders (Raleigh) made another solid run again, losing in the semis to Realcoholics 4-3. Cliffhanger's of Asheville made a deep run for the 2nd straight year, but couldn't find their way past the gelling Frienemies in the end.
In the Over 30 Division, Triad United finally broke through to win the Beer City Cup for the first time. After losing in the finals in 2015, Triad knocked out current USASA National Champ Phoenix FC 5-2 in the semis to advance to the finals. Triad looked impressive in their 6-3 defeat of Wanderers FC (Winston-Salem). The Wanderers held their own for the first 20 minutes as the match was tied 2-2, but Triad's quality depth proved too much over the 60 minutes. Defending and 3 time O-30 champ the Asheville Wizards were in contention but lost in penalties to the Wanderers in the semis.
In the Over 40 Division, the Roswell Rovers got their 2nd Beer City Cup title. Winners in 2013, the Rovers needed an improbable comeback to overcome the Nashville Rowdies. The Rowdies led 3-1 in the 2nd half, but a penalty kick and a sweetly bent free kick sent the match into extra time. The Rovers capitalized on their momentum and scored a cracker of a golden goal winner halfway into extra time to win 4-3. Both defending champion Colortones and 2015 runner up Asheville Hotspurs were ousted in the quarterfinals. Two first time entrants rounded out the semifinalists in Sergio FC (Jacksonville, FL) and Highlanders FC of Georgia.
In the Over 50 Division, Atlanta based Minutemen edged defending champs Hammers, also of Atlanta, 1-0. The Minutemen prevented the Hammers club from sweeping the Over 50 & Over 55 Divisions. In the Over 55 Division the Hammers downed Curmudgeons FC 4-3.
