The Throw-In: Too soon for DeAndre Yedlin & USMNT? Or a sign that something's working?http://www.mlssoccer.com/worldcup/2014/news/article/2014/05/30/throw-too-soon-deandre-yedlin-usmnt-or-sign-somethings-working

I guess in thinking about it more ... you could add Bryan Gallego (Portland Timbers), but of course, he's on loan.

Um, Dillon Powers wasn't a Zip.

Will do.

What's Caleb Porter's pregame speech like? | The Sideline http://www.timbers.com/video/2014/05/29/whats-caleb-porters-pregame-speech-sideline "Ooooh, are kids watching?"... Will Johnson, LOL

Say "hi" to Bisbee and the Mrs. while you're there. They are beyond excited for the trip, and I'm certain they'd be pleased to see someone from Akron there.

I will be there. How can you get advanced tickets? EDIT: I guess that's to be announced: http://www.thecrew.com/news/2014/05/crews-fourth-round-lamar-hunt-us-open-cup-opponent-set

VOTE: http://www.mlssoccer.com/all-star/2014/vote 7 Zips on the ballot, if I didn't overlook any. Kofi Sarkodie DeAndre Yedlin Perry Kitchen Wil Trapp Teal Bunbury Darren Mattocks Darlington Nagbe

Eric Stevenson, NYRB. However, he has yet to play in a first team match.

Bisbee and the Mrs. are extremely happy and proud. They texted me the news on the 22nd while I was driving home from a 2-week roadtrip. So proud of and pleased for DeAndre and the Zips Mens Soccer Program as all of you have posted.

Thanks. I missed that allong the way. http://cleveland.cbslocal.com/2013/07/05/state-budget-amendment-clears-way-for-sin-tax-extension/

Apart from the college vs pro sports, the difference in summit county is a sales tax that hits everyone vs a sin tax that hits only those who drink or smoke. It's easy for those who don't drink or smoke to vote for a tax on alcohol & cigarettes.

I agree that both yellows were warranted, but Parkhurst's pass put Wil in a bad situation on that 2nd yellow. I'm not impressed with Josh Williams at RB, Oduro is lazy and makes bad decisions in my opinion, and Higuain is often in the wrong position. Hopefully, as the Crew continues to play this style, they will work out the issues. I'd imagine Wil has to be somewhat frustrated.

Sorry, but all I can think when I read this is "No shit, Sherlock"... Statistics show Trapp will be tough to replace Crew midfielder to miss Wednesday’s match against Houston due to red-card suspension http://www.thecrew.com/news/2014/05/statistics-show-trapp-will-be-tough-replace

Richie's awesome goal got noticed by Top Drawer Soccer. http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/the91stminute/2014/04/akron-freshman-hits-stunning-goal-in-spring-game/

Perhaps because Maryland Football actually draws a crowd, albeit small for the B1G. 38,878 average in 2013 according to this article http://www.pressboxonline.com/2013/11/26/terps-home-football-attendance-is-low-for-big-ten Historically, Maryland has drawn crowds greater than 50k. Maybe they're expecting that to happen regularly as a member of the B1G. http://www.umterps.com/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=208133544

Dillon Serna scored his first MLS goal in the Rapids' 4-1 loss to the Sounders. Dillon scored in the 62nd minute (approximately 6:44 on the video highlights). http://matchcenter.mlssoccer.com/matchcenter/2014-04-26-seattle-sounders-fc-vs-colorado-rapids/recap

Sacramento Republic FC set a new USL PRO regular-season attendance record, but the Harrisburg City Islanders claimed all three points as they took a 2-1 victory at Hughes Stadium in front of 20,231 fans on Saturday night. Robbie Derschang and Morgan Langley both scored for the Islanders, who took their first win of the season. http://uslpro.uslsoccer.com/home/804761.html

@fknbuflobo, I found this a week or so ago and forgot to mention it at the Spring match vs Louisville. It answers your question about why the Crew didn't sign Eric Stevenson as a homegrown. http://www.soccerwire.com/news/pro/akron-senior-eric-stevenson-overcomes-chronic-injuries-to-play-in-mls-combine/ "After the season, he was in talks with the Crew to sign a Homegrown Player contract, but the league deemed that Stevenson had not trained enough hours with the first team the past two years. ... His lack of training hours in Columbus stemmed from playing for the Seattle Sounders FC Under-23s in the Premier Development League in summer 2013."

Is anyone planning to go to the Spring match at Xavier this Saturday? I was considering it, but leaning toward attending the NY Red Bulls vs Crew match in Columbus instead. I wish the match at Xavier was at 1 or 2 pm so that I could do both and get home at a decent time. A 7:30 pm match in Cincy is not really conducive to my traveling there and getting home at 2 - 2:30 am. I think it's unfair to our players as well, but that's just my opinion.
