I am surprised we haven't been able to figure it out :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have also made it possible that the player would have scored against Liverpool in FA Cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackTheBlizzard Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Best I can come up with is John Rooney. Not sure everything fits, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if the line about scoring against the Reds best didn't mean the team itself but rather a player on that team? Scored against the Galaxy with Gerrard playing?

BCM Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 On 2/8/2019 at 2:43 PM, BringBackTheBlizzard said: They are chasing the league title this year, which they have never won and Albert Watson would have played for their manager previously when he was at Linfield, so not too surprising. Daryl Fordyce had a trial with Linfield last month as well as the Ballymena tryout mentioned in the article, so looks like he will probably be playing for somebody in Northern Ireland soon as well. Fordyce recently signed with Sligo Rovers in the Republic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had some fun scouring the internet for clues to this one. Nothing conclusive but my first guess is Lamar Neagle, and my second would be Kevin Ellis. Few other possible options (depending on how we interpret it) I concluded were Quincy Amarikwa, Mo Babouli or Sean Okoli toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pottsy3 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 hint for a second player. Mr. Tobo seems like Patrick Tobo who is Paulus' friend who formerly coached the U17's, and is from Cameroon. This player also played in Canada before. From the three listed American locations 2 would be in California (unless he's talking Disney in Orlando) and one in New Mexico A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenFisk'sBiggestFan Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I believe it is James Marcelin who scored on Alisson in the Copa America for Hati. He played for FC Dallas and Portland in MLS, as well as North Carolina FC and Fort Lauterdale in the NASL. He would have played against FC Edmonton but may not have played against them in Canada.

Zem Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 So I think I've figured this one out, although it assumes that Paulus made a mistake and forgot that the Copa America Centenario was played in the US. The player would be Haitian international James Marcelin, because he scored against Alisson in a 7-1 loss where Countinho scored a hat-trick, and he has played all over the US from Portland to Fort Lauderdale.

Blackdude Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Also, the only player who fits the bill that I found in a Cameroonian player who has played only in SW US is Jeannot Esua. 22 year old played for Orange County SC in 2017.

I don't think Esua played in Canada though! I've been thinking that the three USA locations may be three different teams. One location is right near Albuquerque, so I've been thinking that they either played USL PDL with the Albuquerque Sol or at New Mexico State.

He never said they played in Canada, he said “this land” which I took to mean the North American pyramid. 1 hour ago, Blackdude said: I don't think it's a mistake.

Ansem Posted February 22, 2019 Author Share Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) FC Edmonton is pleased to announce the club has signed international midfielder James Marcelin and international fullback Jeannot Esua to contracts, as the Eddies continue to build their roster ahead of the inaugural Canadian Premier League season. Both signings are pending International Transfer Certificate approval. Marcelin, 32, has played the entirety of his professional career in North America and the Caribbean, including 39 appearances with Portland Timbers and FC Dallas of Major League Soccer. Marcelin also has 33 caps for Haiti, scoring five goals, including one against Brazil at the 2016 Copa America – the team’s first ever goal against the South American giants. Esua, 22, developed in the Rainbow FC Academy in Cameroon, before signing his first professional contract with Orange County SC of the United Soccer League in 2017. Esua made 12 appearances in all competitions with OCSC, scoring one goal. He returned to Cameroon for the 2018 season.

Big_M Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Who knows what their current level is..marcelin turning 33 and played npsl last year and esua was mostly a backup in 2017 usl then went back to cameroon..but could be a big success if it works out as they shouldnt be on high salaries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenFisk'sBiggestFan Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Marcelin was a beast a couple years ago. The type of player that Edmonton doesn't really have yet, so a really good fit in my opinion. As for the other guy, it is hard to judge just by a resume. He is more likely a backup as it seems that Zebie A. and Moses will be the starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
