read the other day Teemu was out for a couple months with a back strain or something like that.

Seen a couple articles that state that Henry might be ready for this weekends match in MLS but if not should be ready for the USOC match.

I'm sure our Irish center back Colin Falvey will have a few nice thing to say to Henry while the match is being played!

And the draw at this stage is literally a coin flip to see who hosts (provided they meet the standards. The latter stages is when the club has to "meet financial obligations" to host but even then it is still a coin flip to see which team will host!

Bummer about Teemu! I didn't think about the French/Irish drama. Should be exciting!

So last night was... exciting? At least the weather held out for the match!

Hopefully a fuller squad will tighten things up for next Tuesday.

I'll forgo my normal Red Bull habit for Monster for the next week.

LOL.

good seeing you last night.

We are working on getting a group rate for E10 look for more info later today or tomorrow with the details.

Basically cost will be $8 each but we are going to have to collect the money ourselves.

so if you want some get a rough head count of how many you need and let me know and I will hold that amount for you.

To be fair, they were a pretty decent side. Probably would be about mid-table in our league. And our 2 goals are some of the best you'll see all year, they were 2 crushed shots and Niki's was a long strike.

We'll definitely need to play our best vs the Bulls. I like our chances though. I think our offense is better than its been in several years and the defense is solid as usual. The midfield seems to be doing its job both defensively and offensively. The GK situation is a little unsettled but we can't do much more about it, so, get on with it.

Fair play on the goals. Those two were ABSOLUTELY beautiful.

this from the Railhawks, who will be playing the LA Galaxy...

We sold out in 3 hours! Our new North Stand is being inspected tomorrow and we have preorders for 500 of those seats. In order to preorder those we are requiring that you buy in a 3 pack and those will all be gone by end of day and the people don’t even know for sure if inspection will go thru.


8500 sellout in just a few hours. Hope Red Bulls are as good a draw for you guys…….
