NPSL 2016 Title Game will be August 6th at Independence High School.

AFC Cleveland (Skye Harter, Ty Sanda, Jackson Crawford, Shane Wiedt) will be hosting and playing for the NPSL Championship. I haven't heard where the Michigan Bucks (Adam Najem, Brad Ruhaak, Goncalo Soares) will play for the USL PDL title.

Adam with an assist now. Bucks up 3-0 with about 8 minutes to go. Bucks won 3-0. Adam Najem with a goal and an assist.

...Akron’s done so much for me,” said Najem. “I feel like there’s things left unfinished. We want to win a national championship for the best fan base in the country”... ...These improvements to Najem’s game are what makes him arguably the best player in college soccer entering the 2016 campaign and a Hermann Trophy award favorite. Despite all the hype, Najem has remained grounded, “It’s nice to even be mentioned, but I’m not here for individual awards. I didn’t go to college for individual recognition. I want a national championship,” stated Najem. ... ...While the future looks bright for Najem, his focus is 100% on the upcoming season and what he can do to help Akron lift the title. With the plethora of talent from returning players and the incoming freshmen classalong with one of the top coaches in America leading the way, the Zips look poised to make a run. Zips captain Najem said it the best, “It’s National Championship or bust.”

Congratulations to Sinisa...

Great find @TennZip. More on Kuzain Wan Kamal... http://saintlouisfc.com/sports/msoc/2016-17/releases/20160521k9fxyu ... Kuzain, a class for 2017 product, has played for SLSG Illinois, been selected to train with the U17 U.S. National Team and Dutch club Feyenoord as well. ...

Former Seattle Sounders defender and current U.S. national team stalwart DeAndre Yedlin swings by the Sound of Soccer studios to discuss his future in the English Premier League, what he loves about Jurgen Klinsmann and how the USMNT rallied against those hoping the team would fail at this summer's Copa America Centenario. The guys also discuss the legitimacy of Clint Dempsey's red card against FC Dallas and the controversy surrounding the Emerald City Supporters and a supposed lack of diversity. Music on today's show by Seattle retro soul group Grace Love and the True Loves. http://po.st/Ec3uEG A must listen for any Zips Soccer fan. Love the stories about Akron and Caleb between Steve Zakuani & DeAndre.

Beat me to it TennZip, but here's one from 2012 (taken at Caleb's farewell)

GoZips must be a little behind. Lundt and Korb have been added to the roster along with Pollard and Crawford, who both joined in the Spring, but the remaining recruits have not yet been added. Also, Cregan, Rubio, and Dakwar removed. http://www.gozips.com/sports/msoc/2016-17/roster?sort=last_name

http://hurstathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6841 Interesting the number of GKs we now have...Rubio, Pollard, Costa, Saunders, Lundt (Gotta get a German flag now.) Strike that ... Rubio transferred to Utah Valley University back in June. In addition to USA, players from Canada (2), Brasil (2), Portugal (2), Spain, England, Germany, Israel, Cameroon, Eritrea, Australia, New Zealand, and a coach from Ireland. Strike that, too...Looks like Adi Dakwar is gone, too.

#VoteSanda as NCAA's Elite 90 Fan Favorite Award Winner It appears Tyler is currently #16

What about VS8, SH9, BR20, TS19, SG7, DR5, AM17, RD22, SH21, GS25, JP24, EK15, MCaa, ESbb, NHcc, JPdd, AMee, and so on .... ? I guess this is an Adam Najem thread. However, it takes 11 to make a team, and all of them, starters and subs, are important.

@Z.I.P ... Thanks for that Dave Wottle gold medal footage.
