I'm in.

February 22nd is National Margarita Day... https://www.wincalendar.com/National-Margarita-Day

Also welcome Hazem ....

I previously put this in the 2020 Spring roster thread, but it belongs here too. Welcome Gabriel...

I believe Nick is a member of both... http://crew.ussoccerda.com/sam/teams/index.php?team=3934180&player=264744693 http://intr.ussoccerda.com/sam/teams/index.php?team=1400699&player=36590965

Welcome Nick Scott.

UMU Football is still much better than the crap poor job done by our AD and his top assistant finding someone qualified to run our D1 Program. I’m hopeful that Arth will do something given UA can not afford another change anytime soon. I will not hold me breath, though, given what I’ve seen thus far. Looks too much like 2010/11 Deja Vu. By the way, UMU came closer to beating the eventual D-3 Champion than any other team in the playoffs. 52-59 loss. Fun game. North Central College in Naperville IL (not far from our NIU buddies) looking like the newest D-3 powerhouse crushed one of UMU’s usual rivals in the Stagg Bowl.

No idea either. All of what I posted is information that I came across through social media. Best wishes to Mani, but I'm looking forward to finding out more about those who are joining the Zips, too.

With the Spring Semester beginning on Monday, I wonder if we will soon thereafter get an update of the Men's Soccer roster. Mani Austmann transferred to UNC Greensboro. ... https://uncgspartans.com/news/2020/1/7/mens-soccer-mani-austmann.aspx GK Ricky Ceballos transferred to High Point ... Gabriel Ramos joining the Zips...

For those who might be interested in supporting young soccer players' development and a trip to see DeAndre Yedlin and NUFC v Liverpool ... https://charity.gofundme.com/o/en/campaign/watchyedlin2020sweeps ends February 7, 2020, I believe.

Congratulations to Tom Smart.

Congratulations to Richie Laryea who has been called into Canadian MNT January (2020) camp. https://canadasoccer.com/canada-soccer-s-men-s-national-team-holds-january-camp-p162533

Lest the writer forgets, 4+ years ago Caleb and Darlington won an MLS Cup together in Columbus for the Portland TimberFC. Let's get that MLS Cup for Columbus now!

Thanks @TennZip. By the way, there is a 2020 thread, which seems more appropriate now.

Evan Bush ????⚽️

Congratulations Jon Lewis... https://www.coloradorapids.com/post/2019/12/30/international-duty-update-lewis-vines-earn-call-usmnt-senior-camp ... The Rapids duo will report on January 5 to Aspire Academy in Doha, Qatar. The camp will run through the end of the month and culminate with a friendly against Costa Rica in Southern California on February 1. Lewis, 22, was a late addition to Gregg Berhalter’s first USMNT camp in January 2019. He made his senior debut as he subbed on in a friendly against Panama on January 27, 2019. Since then, he has made five appearances for the senior team and notched two assists. The Plantation, Florida native recently spent time with the US U-23 squad, where he played in both games of the United International Football Festival, which saw the US fall 1-0 to Brazil, the 2016 Olympic champs, and claim a 4-0 victory over host nation United Gran Canaria. ...

Curious ... Michael Obafemi's goal, Chelsea (no Zips), Southampton (no Zips) are related to the Zips in Pro Leagues how???

...98 games in the Premier League puts DeAndre Yedlin on the verge of joining a select group of Americans to have achieved the century mark in the English Premier League. Only three other field players besides DeAndre have started more than 30 games in a season (Geoff Cameron, Clint Dempsey x2 and Brian McBride x2). ... ... To me it is unreal how undervalued his accomplishments are. Regardless, he’ll continue to be a polarizing figure for his country. He’s a great player and with Reggie Cannon and Sergiño Dest pushing him at the right back position for the national team will be challenged for years to come. For club he’s battled for his career and doing some amazing things in the top flight league in the world. Cheers to DeAndre Yedlin as he hopefully rings in the new year with a century in the Premier League.

Former Zips in International Leagues for 2020 include EPL DeAndre Yedlin, Newcastle United FC Canadian Premier League Marcel Zajac, Hamilton Forge FC https://forgefc.canpl.ca/article/forge-fc-roster-update-championship-core-set-to-return-in-2020 Thailand Premier League Anthony Ampaipitakwong, Bangkok United FC http://www.truebangkokunitedfc.com/teams/first-team.html (by the way, I read that Ampai was team captain in 2019) Serbian SuperLiga (added 2020-02-05) Danilo Radjen, FK Partizan Campeonato de Portugal (added 2020-02-08) Manel Cordeiro, Centro Desportivo de Fátima

The Crew don't play the LA Galaxy at all this year...so, no chance to see Perry Kitchen in Columbus during the regular season MLS matches, unfortunately. https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2019/12/19/2020-mls-schedule-your-club-will-face-every-team-except-these-three
