to70 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 That's a different set-up inside an old stadium. Wonder what the story is behind it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toje Posted July 27, 2017 Author Share Posted July 27, 2017 It is the old Strahov stadium which has/had a capacity of 220,000. It can fit 9 full size soccer pitches. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strahov_Stadium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket Robin Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Cut and paste from the L1O Week 14 thread of the July 29, 2017 L1O scheduled game between Pro Stars and Toronto Skillz to add to this topic. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I recognized Josef Komlodi, the head coach of Pro Stars. I went over to say it was too bad about the cancelled game and he said he had some news about the trip to the Czech Republic. Hmm I'm interested. The tourney was held in Prague. He said they had three players signed by the Slovakian second division team KFC Komarno. The players are midfield brothers Adel Rahman (age 22), and Navid Rahman (age 21) and 20 year old Troy Ferreirinha-Boorman (who I looked up on L1O rosters and has not played in an L1O game so I expect he's on their U21s). He said Navid has already scored in an exhibition game for Komarno. Their regular season kicked off today. Komladi whom I've known since coaching CPSL Mississauga Eagles and North York Astros before his L1O days says he's always pushing his players to sign contracts in Europe. He boasts that he's placed more players in Europe than all the other coaches in L1O put together. He said he got Atiba Hutchinson at age 18 over to Europe. Also David Simpson and Jose Melo. He turns his players over once they turned 24. He says players just use "but my parents aren't from Europe/so I can't get a European passport" as an excuse. The Rahman brothers are actually of Pakistani heritage. I think it's great that he chooses this method balanced against other teams bragging about how many scholarships they've ensured for their players.
