Can Evan Stop Henry?

Evan Bush should play some for Montreal in a friendly tomorrow night versus the Red Bulls.

I don't see the game scheduled to air on Matchday Live, would be fun to watch tough. Montreal is going to be a great addition to MLS next year.

And the answer is.......OUI!

Evan Bush is named NASL player of the week.

Hopefully we'll see Bush get bumped up to the MLS next year with Montreal.

I am confused. Nothing new there, but...Is this the same league that shows games on FSC -- where they call it the USL???

There is still a USL but it's been weakened somewhat. It's complicated, but the USL effectively split after the 2009 season when a number of clubs, Montreal among them, chose to form the "new" NASL due to differences in opinion between various league factions. This has resulted in a realignment of the entire American Soccer Pyramid..

So the games that Fox Soccer Channel is televising (I only watched about 5 minutes of the game last week, but I think the Charleston Battery were playing (???) vs Orlando??) are actually the "third tier" "USL Pro"? Sheesh!

That is correct (although your Charleston Battery vs. Orlando City game may have actually been a US Open Cup match). I've looked for NASL games on TV, but I haven't been able to find any so far. This "schism" also threw a bit of a monkey wrench into the US Open Cup. US-based NASL clubs will not be participating in the 2011 Cup.

This link gives more details on what prompted the USL to break apart (see History section).
