Nurse’s second goal in two games gets Eddies a draw in Tampa 25 Aug 2013 “I spoke with him, just himself and me,” said Miller. “I told him that I thought he was an underachiever. I told him that I thought he could put his stamp on games the way that (Nigel) Reo-Coker does for the Whitecaps. I am delighted with the way he’s now getting into the box, delighted that he hasn’t been involved in silly changes. We all know he’s a brave lad, but I think he’s got it in him to be a special player.”
“Handbags, lipstick and eye shadow:” Eddies and Silverbacks fight at halftime, slug out a 1-1 draw 18 Aug 2013 Miller joked that it was “handbags, lipstick and eyeshadow,” but it was clear the emotions weren’t being kept in check on the field. Maybe the biggest surprise is that no one was sent off, though Eddie Corey Hertzog was stretchered off late in game after being scythed to the turf by Milton Blanco, who saw yellow. Hertzog has a knock on his hip.
Hertzog scores in his debut, as Eddies win fall-season home opener over Scorpions 11 Aug 2013 “Corey’s been here for three days, I’ve been here for a week, and for us to click like that, it’s great,” said Adur, a former Maccabi Haifa youth player who has also had pro stints in Singapore and Thailand. “I think the two of us are going to become a special story in this league as the season progresses.”
Hertzog “excited” to join the FC Edmonton team he scored against earlier this season 8 Aug 2013 “I talked to Carlyle as soon as I found out, and he only had good things to say about the team,” said Hertzog, who arrived in Edmonton Wednesday and had his medical Thursday. “He said it’s a good bunch of guys. Now I’m looking forward to helping this team get some wins.”
Hertzog loaned by Whitecaps to FC Edmonton 8 Aug 2013 Now, Hertzog will join the Eddies on the field. The Whitecaps and FCE confirmed Thursday that the American striker will come to the Alberta capital on loan, and should be available for Sunday’s NASL fall season home opener against the San Antonio Scorpions.
After “shocking” series of flights to Carolina, FC Edmonton succumbs to RailHawks 4 Aug 2013 “It was a catalogue of disasters, it was a shocking trip,” FCE coach Colin Miller said of the trip “Finally, the rain delay set it right up for us to have the kind of first half we did. But I don’t want to make excuses, we set high standards at this club.
FCE coach Miller has known about Dosanjh’s soccer talents for almost 15 years 1 Aug 2013 “A lot of CIS coaches will be delighted knowing that he won’t be playing for UBC in the fall,” Miller said. “I didn’t bring him in here to make up the numbers. Hes got a great football brain. He can find tiny pockets of space in the field.”
CIS standout goes pro: Dosanjh signs FC Edmonton deal 1 Aug 2013 Former University of British Columbia standout Gagandeep Dosanjh has committed to FC Edmonton, and will join the club this week.
Adur dreams of MLS, national team; hopes that FC Edmonton can relaunch his career 29 Jul 2013 Before coming to FC Edmonton on trial, the Canadian striker was training with the Columbus Crew where his cousin, Trinidad and Tobago international Kevan George, is under contract. Adur wants to attract the attention of MLS scouts. He wants to one day wear the Canadian national jersey. But, even though he boasted a solid scoring record in Thailand, it wasn’t going to put him on the radar of the national program.
Miller finding the search for loan possibilities is very tough going; Adur to arrive in FCE camp 25 Jul 2013 Right now, FC Edmonton has midfielders David Zaharija and Dominic Oppong for the week. On Friday, Anthony Adur (also known as Anthony Bahadur), a former Maccabi Haifa youth team forward who has also played in Singapore and Thailand, will join the Eddies on trial.
