FC Edmonton says they won’t use San Antonio’s punishing heat as an excuse 4 Sep 2014 When the Eddies arrive to San Antonio’s Toyota Field for Saturday’s clash with the Scorpions, it will be a little bit warmer. OK, a lot warmer. The daytime temperatures are expected to be in the mid-30s. The game will kick off at 7:30 p.m. Central Time, so it may be a bit cooler than the daytime high. Still, it will be a heck of a lot more uncomfortable than an average September day in Alberta.
Floro’s choice of Canadian goalkeepers offers food for thought 28 Aug 2014 Yes, Borjan is a veteran, but he doesn’t have a club. Roberts doesn’t have the club experience to help Canada’s senior team, yet. And there are other options out there.
FCE dominates NASL-leading Scorpions 3 Aug 2014 But, as good as the Eddies were going forward, it needs to be said that the Scorpions created zero scoring chances in the second half. Hassli, outside of the penalty, was shut down by FCE central defender Albert Watson, who passed a late fitness test before deemed being ready to play. Watson wrenched his neck in training on Saturday.
Eddies find baffling new ways to not score in loss to Indy 27 Jul 2014 But, as Eddies coach Colin Miller put it at halftime, the way the Eddies attackers find ways to turn chances in front of goals into shot attempts that didn't even trouble the keeper is a “physical impossibility.”
Atlanta gets its first NASL clean sheet of 2014… against FC Edmonton 20 Jul 2014 It took until the 82nd minute for the Eddies to force Atlanta keeper Joe Nasco into a meaningful save. Just two minutes after coming in as a late sub, FCE teenager Hanson Boakai won a physical battle with Atlanta’s Kwadwo Poku at the top of the box, and then left-footed a curling shot towards the top corner that forced Nasco into a fingertip save.
Helter swelter: Miller fumes after FCE can’t take advantage of 10-man Fury 14 Jul 2014 Coach Colin Miller promised that his players would be doing a lot of running at that training session after the Eddies laboured to a 0-0 draw with the Ottawa Fury at Commonwealth Stadium. The Eddies went up a man in the 56th minute after Ryan Richter, making his Fury debut after being loaned out from Toronto FC, was sent off.
Heinemann’s late winner gives Fury a measure of revenge against FCE 1 Jun 2014 In the 89th minute, off a free kick from Richie Ryan, Heinemann was able to get position on FCE defender Lance Laing. The ball looped off Heinemann’s head and into the back of the net, giving the Fury a 1-0 win.
10-man Eddies fight fatigue, heat and hang on for draw in San Antonio 18 May 2014 It wasn’t FC Edmonton’s prettiest match of the season, but it might have been the club’s best effort of the season.
V-Cup: FCE “devastated” over controversial call, six minutes of added time in Montreal 15 May 2014 “He (Mallan) had his hands behind his back and the ball’s gone off the label on his jersey. That’s never a penalty. The funny thing is, I thought Drew was having a good game up to that point. But there was also six minutes of time added on. As soon as the six minutes went up, you go the feeling that something was up.”
