NXL World Cup Finals

November 07, 2017 by matt thomas

15 years ago, I just happened to catch the PSP World Cup on television and I was immediately hooked. I watched the match between Dynasty and Aftershock on the yellow JT field with the giant pyramid in the middle, and instantly Dynasty became my favorite team. They were having unprecedented success, winning the PSP, NPPL and Millennium Series.

Flash forward to last weekend when I traveled to Florida for the second year in a row to cover this year's NXL World Cup. Dynasty was in the Finals, but this time I was on the field. Some of the names you saw that Sunday night, were the same names back 15 years ago. Alex Fraige, Ryan Greenspan were two veterans on that team,, and now a new crew is solidifying their own legacy in the game. Dynasty didn't win this year's Cup. They went down 3-0, but just when you were about to count them out they started to come back. They closed the gap, but when the match was over Impact finished on top, 4-3.
