Puerto Rico FC continues to haunt FC Edmonton 25 Oct 2017 FC Edmonton got off to yet another poor start to a match, and the Eddies dug themselves a hole they couldn’t find a way out of.
FC Edmonton’s home finale features a loss on the field, and uncertainty off of it 21 Oct 2017 But Saturday’s game felt different than any other home-season-ender. We don’t know what the future holds. Heck, we don’t know in what league FC Edmonton will play in 2018, or if the team will play at all. Instead of “see you next year,” the handshakes with the broadcast crew and the stadium regulars had a feel of “we’ll see you… sometime?”
Eddies damage Armada’s playoff hopes with second-half fightback 18 Oct 2017 But, finally, in their fifth meeting of the season, it didn’t finish 1-0. The Eddies came back.
Farago’s goalkeeping heroics can’t keep FCE from NASL playoff elimination 14 Oct 2017 “I knew it was always going to take a miracle for us to make the playoffs,” said FCE coach Colin Miller after the match. “I would rather focus on the team’s performance tonight. I am very pleased with the effort, and hopefully we can carry that momentum into Wednesday’s game.”
WFC2 became the Whitecaps’ own Kobayashi Maru 14 Oct 2017 But, no. Frankly, the Whitecaps were backed into a corner. When the USL got its Division-2 status from the USSF for the 2017 season — moving up from Div-3 status — it began a chain of events that really could have only ended this way.
Here comes Santa Claus: FCE’s defensive lapse gives gift of a winning goal to the Armada 6 Oct 2017 Unfortunately for the Eddies, Miller was right to be worried. Santa Claus did indeed show up in the second half.
Adversity-eating Deltas win in Edmonton: “Hopefully we’ll all have jobs in 2018” 1 Oct 2017 “The only thing we can control, me as a coach and them as the players, is the better we perform, the better chance we have to be in another club next year or with the San Francisco Deltas,” said Dos Santos. “If San Francisco continues, good. If it doesn’t, and we do well, hopefully we’ll all have jobs in 2018.”
FCE needs to be better out of the gate 29 Sep 2017 Last week’s loss in San Francisco was just an extreme example of a trend in Eddies’ games. Even when the Eddies triumph, they grow into games, they don’t dominate right from the start.
NASL makes it clear: Either it gets the injunction, or else it doesn’t continue 28 Sep 2017 Kessler stated over and over that there is no plan B — NASL “has no other option or plan to continue” if the injunction to keep its Div-2 status isn’t granted by the court.
Eddies dreadful start puts them in a hole they can’t escape 23 Sep 2017 The pit that the Eddies dug for themselves was simply too deep from which to escape, and Dustin Corea’s headed effort could only serve as a consolation in a 2-1 loss.
