Crew8

I was really hoping this match would take place before I leave for the southern hemisphere. I would enjoy seeing a fantastic turnout at First Energy. I'll be there in spirit from the beaches of Brazil.

Any news on the 2014 schedule? I see we play Ohio State on the road Wednesday, Sept 24th. http://www.ohiostatebuckeyes.com/sports/m-soccer/spec-rel/031814aaa.html

Looks as if Aodhan Quinn is signing a deal with Orlando City SC currently in the USL PRO before the club joins the MLS in 2015. https://twitter.com/Mike_Gramajo/status/445987687204667392

which coach did Akron let go? or is Chappel an addition to the staff?

In my opinion, it doesn't really surprise me, but it's easy to say now. I never really thought this Akron draft class was rated very high. Stevenson and Gallego were the top of this group. I expect the other boys to try out the NPSL or USLPRO. I expect Stevenson to be loaned just as Gallego was to Sacramento.

If I have the night off from work, I'll be there.

I think Blair was considering retirement, but signed on with the Sounders near the end of the season. I'm not sure about his current status, but he's not listed on the Sounders roster.

Don't think he has any attachment to the Timbers currently, but rather a verbal commitment to Dutch FC Utrecht. http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/club-soccer...n-2014_aid32333

Rubio Rubin is going pro

Maybe Adam Najem could point him in the right direction while in Florida. http://www.ussoccer.com/news/u-20-mnt/2014...roster-rel.aspx

DeAndre Yedlin is on his way to Brazil for the USMNT January camp http://www.ussoccer.com/news/mens-national...ary-roster.aspx

Zarek Valentin will continue another year in Norway. http://www.impactmontreal.com/en/news/2013...oin-impact-2014

Nice work to those who have been voting this evening. I'm going to add some more votes in the morning. Cheers! 2010 Akron (50%, 8,401 Votes) 1998 Indiana (42%, 7,132 Votes) 2008 Maryland (8%, 1,324 Votes) 1993 Virginia (0%, 36 Votes) 1997 UCLA (0%, 35 Votes)

I threw in a few dozen votes. Will throw down a few more tonight. I say continue on. And don't throw in the towel like Brazil. http://extramustard.si.com/2013/12/17/braz...quits-forfeits/

So does the voting end this upcoming Monday since it did not end this past Monday or maybe the Monday after the 2014 College Cup?

Stevenson should be considered a Crew homegrown and the Crew FO still have time to sign him before the MLS draft next month. The requirement is a minimum of one year in the youth academy before college and must reside in the Crew's home territory when added to the homegrown list before college. EDIT: MLS Homegrown talents in college, if not signed, are sure things for the 2014 SuperDraft

Steve Zakuani is out of contract and on today's MLS Re-Entry list. Blair Gavin and Sinisa Ubiparipovic are also on the list, but I don't expect them to get selected. Will we see Steve in a new uniform next season.

Thanks for posting fknbuflobo. I'm discouraged the Zips are no longer in play and disappointed we don't get to share a few beers and kick the ball around at a tailgate in Virginia this weekend. It's a long wait until we unite in Lot 9 again. Cheers and Happy Thanksgiving fknbuflobo

Let's skip OT and bang in three goals this second half.

This video feed is quality. I can actually read the numbers.

Officials I thought were very fair this evening and called a great game. If you look again at the photo, Brenes might of been blocking the assistants view to confirm a decision. I agree it was a goal the second I seen it live, unfortunate the officials missed it

Zips looked exhausted in the final 25 minutes while Indiana controlled the game. Great to see the boys fight it off until the end. Could of easily been 4-2 too. The one goal in the first half crossed the line. I had a great view of it up the line. Sad the officials missed it, but overall I thought they called a great game. On to Marquette and rest those legs boys.

A little info on the Pina/Fenlason switch UA coach Jared Embick takes big risk with goalkeeper switch
