Thanks. I've been waiting for the announcement of this roster. Edit: This is awesome, btw, to see these 3 getting extra practice/game experience together before the Zips' season.

Thanks Crew8 for the additional AFC Cleveland info. I love seeing our guys doing well. By the way, Andrian is headed to Bradenton, FL with the U20 Crew Juniors for the Super-20 playoffs. (The Crew Juniors with Chad Barson and Ben Speas won last year.) I wish they posted better information on the Crew Juniors U20's. I know that Andrian has played numerous matches for them, specifically the 6-1 win and the 2-0 win on July 5th and 7th as well as others. It's nice to see Meves recognized by some of his peers. The Seattle Sounders U23 won their first playoff game 3-1 last night. DeAndre played, but apparently Aodhan is back home in San Diego right now. Less than one month to first Zips Exhibition match...August 15 vs St Louis at First Energy/Cub Cadet.

Apparently, Thomas Schmitt scored what would become the game-winning goal in stoppage time to give AFC Cleveland the 2-1 lead over Detroit in a playoff game in Erie, PA. AFC Cleveland won 2-1.

Michael Nanchoff is starting tonight as well as Darren Mattocks for Vancouver. Go Whitecaps!

Please add that we're already booking non-refundable flights to Birmingham December 7 - 10, 2012. No pressure.

Sweet! And Vancouver still has 15 MLS regular season games remaining.

You're right...the defender's back. My bad. That's what I get for hastily posting. http://www.whitecapsfc.com/news/2012/07/jump-jump-and-get http://www.whitecapsfc.com/news/2012/07/mattocks-makes-orbit

Absolutely agree. Although, in the still shot, it looks like he climbed the Keeper's back as opposed to jumping as high as he did.

Nice whooping the Sounders U23s put on the North Sound Sea Wolves in a meaningless regular season final match, 5-1. In the 82nd minute the Sounders U-23 put another one on the board with a goal from Zack Foxhoven. DeAndre Yedlin hit a bending through ball behind the SeaWolves defense. Foxhoven brought it down perfectly with his first touch in stride and then struck in past a relatively helpless Claudio Lazar for the 4-1 lead.

The article is funny referring to it as a header. I watched it live on MLS Direct Kick...it didn't seem to be a header. Darren jumped so high, it deflected off his chest as you can see in the video and picture. Perhaps he did get a little chin on it, but it slowly goes into the goal as opposed to giving it some extra momentum with his head.

Too bad Vancouver gave up the game-winning goal to Toronto on a corner kick in the 4th (final) minute of stoppage time to lose 3-2 after Darren had tied the match in the 90th minute.

I hadn't seen this quote before from Eddie Johnson: Zakuani logged four minutes as a reserve Saturday in the Seattle Sounders FC’s 2-1 win over the visiting Colorado Rapids. The crowd of 39,060 at CenturyLink Field gave Zakuani a hearty ovation. “That’s the loudest I’ve ever heard a stadium,” Sounders forward Eddie Johnson said. “I’ve been playing 11 years of soccer and that’s the loudest.” But, I know Sounders fans love Steve. Thousands showed up at a match between the Sounders Reserves and Whitecaps Reserves on June 1st mainly to see Steve back in action. Every time he touched the ball, the crowd went crazy with applause and cheers. Great fans. I still hope to experience a match at CenturyLink sometime in the near future.

I'd prefer Caleb to stick around awhile, too. He's built something very special at Akron. Zips Mens Soccer has become the only sports team I really care about. I can never thank Caleb, his staff, and our players enough for all they have done and continue to do. I'm so proud to support all of them whenever and wherever I can.

That goal was very significant for Zarek. Unless I missed something when perusing back through the stats today at lunch, the only goal Zarek scored for the Zips was his PK vs UNC in the 2009 College Cup semi-final (just as I thought when I saw him score yesterday).

Great photos of Sounders U23 action, including Aodhan and DeAndre

Zarek Valentin scored in the 78th minute vs the Crew to even the score at 1-1. Montreal went on to win 2-1 on a pk awarded for a foul in the box. Edit: http://www.impactmontreal.com/en/matchday-...uly-8-mtl-v-clb Edit 2:

Awesome. I believe Aodhan Quinn and his parents (visiting from San Diego) were attending their first ever Sounders game at CenturyLink last night. Nice that that worked out for them.

Sounders U-23 2 - 1 Kitsap Pumas (RECAP) The Sounders U-23 defeated the Kitsap Pumas 2-1 Friday night with two late goals. DeAndre Yedlin tied the game in the 87th minute off of a corner kick... ...The Sounders U-23 continued to press in the 87th minute and earned a corner kick. A powerfull and whipping ball was struck into the box by Mauricio Diaz De Leon. U-23’s defender DeAndre Yedlin timed his run perfectly and met the ball in front of his defender. He directed his header toward the back post and into the lower corner for the equalizer. ...

AFC Cleveland defeated FC Buffalo 3-0. Thomas Schmitt scored the 3rd goal. Andrian McAdams looked very solid in goal, including an outstanding save just before half time. University of Akron striker Tommy Schmitt had the goal of the night just three minutes later. Schmitt found himself smothered by a defender and the onrushing Buffalo keeper, but calmly slotted a shot between the two at a very title angle. This gave Cleveland the 3-0 lead.

Nice victory for the Sounders U23. I must admit, I fell asleep before the heroics. Congratulations to DeAndre for getting the goal that evened the score. Bremerton, WA – The Sounders U-23 defeated the Kitsap Pumas 2-1 Friday night with two late goals. DeAndre Yedlin tied the game in the 87th minute off of a corner kick, and then an own goal from Pumas defender Steve Mohn in the 88th put the game away for the Sounders U-23.

I would add Trapp, Yedlin, and Gallego. They fit well into both the 4-3-3 (usual formation) and the 3-4-3. Meves will compete with Pina and McAdams.

Yes. You are correct. Quinn was in midfield alongside Scott Caldwell.

Yes. It is misleading.

Not that simple. Aodhan Quinn is also in the mix.
