Bison44 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Gonzalez got his first of the season in his first game back from the U-23's. USL summary also mentioned DIdic had a solid game, no sign of Macleod getting a start in goal for Swope yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zendenjas gets sent down a lot, and Greczek is their draft pick. Macleod and Greczek should rotate, but there will be a few times a season that Zendenjas will come down and take over the number one spot. But Darrin is feeling pretty good about his chances. He was on the bench in the last game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Didic and Melvin were in the last USL Team of the week with Kacher making the TOW bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub Narcotic Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 http://www.usld3.com/ USL D3 gets a webpage. Believe they are targeting a 2019 launch, with the 'Central Conference' starting as earlier as next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_M Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 That's also again making a case to have permanent d2 status which will surely be given. Question now is will nasl survive or will teams simply join usl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Lareya on the team of the week, Cavazullo, Morell and Riggi on the bench, nice to see multiple canadians 2 weeks in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question now is will nasl survive or will teams simply join usl. That would be "full" D2 status not "permanent" as its reviewed on a year by year basis, and not for sure as well. NASL adds 4 clubs including a central time zone club to reach full D2 status again.They comply in everything else whereas USL has issues where close to half the leagues teams out of 30 don't meet D2 standards along the lines of 10 stadiums to bring to compliance along with staffing, coaching, and team owner net worth issues. With the changes the NASL has made this year and is making don't see any clubs giving up their share of NASL league ownership and paying exit and entry fees to join USL which is a privately owned franchise league.Looks like there will be 2 leagues in D2 and probably D3 with 2 different models for the foreseable future.

Big_M Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Tough part for nasl will be to not lose any teams and add four in the same year, which they've never done after the start of the league, to get to the required twelve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 3 CDN start for OCB tonight. Lareya, Ellis -Hayden and Schweiter, no sign of Cox. NIL-NIL snoozer. Schweiter and Hayden had a few nice link ups on the right side. Lareya came off around 70th minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermanator Posted April 29, 2017 Author Share Posted April 29, 2017 6 Canadians starting for both WFC2 and TFC II. Since I've shit on these clubs for not starting many Canadians early in the year, only fair that I praise them for starting 6 tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bison44 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Cavalluzo on team of the week. The highlights from saturday looked like Louisville threw the kitchen sink at him. Too bad Vanney likes his keepers taller and more american. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is good enough he'll break through just like Raheem Edwards has. When you need results to keep your job, you don't play favourites based on nationality. That's crazy talk. The highlights from the Louisville game suggest Cavalluzo is a genuine prospect and that Quillian Roberts leaving to try his luck elsewhere may have had an upside in giving this guy an opening.

Bison44 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 You are bending over backwards to cut management slack. If Irwin had not gotten injured, Pais would be down at TFC2 getting all the starts. While potential "Genuine prospect" Cavalluzzo would be riding the pine. TFC would never uncover any gems from the academy if management stuffed the roster with 22-25year olds previously like they are now. The old "if they are good enough" montra just doesnt cut it. We all know how fickle things can be and how breaks can go your way or someone elses and it does make a huge difference. Look at AJH, rumor was he was done at the Impact, look how it turned with a lucky break, a bit more playing time. Or Hamilton, I thought we were done with second guessing him after getting 3 goals in 900minutes last year. But no, TFC has to sign Spencer and give him a shot while Hamilton sits. Hamilton isnt a sure fire star, but I would think he isnt something you walk away from for a guy that has DONE NOTHING. Not even score at TFC2. The brain trust has shown time and again that they prioritize draft picks (mainly foreign) and these journeymen american signings over academy kids. The fact that Edwards has gotten through the logjam doesnt change the fact that that even when talent seems pretty similar, players they have brought in from outside are given the first chance, or multiple chances. When as a TFC fan, and a CMNT fan I would hope that you might show the homegrown local kid just a bit more love. Even if it was just for the selfish reason of keeping a segment of the fan base happy. So instead I'll get to watch Pais start in the CDN championship.....(i sure hope not!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you are overlooking is that it's what happens in training Monday to Friday behind closed doors that plays a big part in shaping team selection and that starting positions on any team can be won and lost based on that in addition to the visible tip of the iceberg that we get to see on weekends.

masster Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Not happening for the 2017 season, but the Sounders reserves will be moving to Tacoma.http://www.sounderatheart.com/2017/5/6/15566446/s2-announces-plans-to-move-to-tacoma I really do not like this trend of MLS teams trying to monetize their reserve squads and gobbling up cities where independent teams could potentially thrive. This is one of the instances where I wish the governing body would step in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bison44 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Amanda, Chung, Gardener, Baldisimo, Norman, Serban, strarting for WFC2 at Tulsa on right now. Paris Gee playing (at CB) for Tulsa, I thought there were rumors he was ineligible for some reason?? The shameless self promotion of USL by the announcers is actually pretty funny. Greatest, most wonderful 2nd division in world!! HEHEHE, I am waiting for UT to start debating them on the relative strengths of second divisions. And as I hit enter, Tulsa scores on a beauty free kick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The commentator said it was his first start of the season and had high praise for him when he was subbed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 My mistake, while i was watching he was sitting very deep, thought he was in the backline. He was very involved and looked like he could be a starter for Tulsa even though i think its only his second game. I guess any eligibility problems he may have had are worked out.

Bison44 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Orlando wins over FC Cincy, Lareya, Ell-Hayden start for OCB, Cox subs on. Lareya with a nice finish, 3rd goal of season for him. As usual I watch the first half, everything happens in the second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bison44 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Haber was named to the team of the week, 1G and 2A against Colorado. No other Canadians this week. Out of maybe 40-50 CDN playing in USL, we are consistently seeing somebody on the team of the week, not too shabby. Plus Pasher finally got his first MLS game with SKC. Hopefully VWC and TFC will have some CDN USL kids playing in CDN championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
