NASL veterans, returnees highlight FCE’s five new signings 31 Jan 2019 FC Edmonton announced the signings of five players on Thursday, three of them who have worn FCE colours in the NASL — veteran striker Tomi Ameobi, local midfielder Edem Mortotsi and defender Kareem Moses.
Smits, Jonke among the five players released by FC Edmonton 28 Oct 2015 On Wednesday, the team revealed the identity of those players who have been released; Canadian goalkeeper John Smits, Canadian striker Frank Jonke, defender Kareem Moses and midfielders Tomas Granitto and Thiago de Freitas.
Giveaway after giveaway: Eddies offer up their worst performance of the NASL season 23 Aug 2015 The Eddies produced more turnovers than you’d find in a bakery. And, they really only created one scoring chance of note — and that came in the second half with the Eddies already down a goal. And, in true comedy-of-errors style, sub Hanson Boakai and winger Lance Laing got in each other’s way when the ball sat in the Fort Lauderdale penalty area and keeper Josh Ford down and out on the turf.
Practice? Who needs practice? Eddies beat Rowdies despite lack of training 18 Jul 2015 What made Saturday’s win over the Rowdies all the more special was that the Eddies didn’t have one on-field training session between Wednesday’s draw in San Antonio and the kickoff at Al Lang Stadium.
Eddies come back twice to earn point in San Antonio 15 Jul 2015 "I'm absolutely delighted," said Miller after the game. "This stadium is one of the most difficult places to come in the league. They have so many quality players here [in San Antonio]. But the credit has to go to our guys, they just never gave up."
The Walking Eds: Injuries may force FCE to bring a skeleton squad to Fort McMurray 30 Jun 2015 FC Edmonton coach Colin Miller has been involved in professional soccer for more than three decades. He said Tuesday that, at no time in his career, has he been involved in an injury crisis as severe as the one FC Edmonton is in right now.
Roberts: The thrill of playing for Canada took a couple of minutes to kick in 19 Jun 2015 “I don’t want to be the player who was only called into one game,” he said. “The experience, it was huge. I gained a lot of experience from it. There are so many players there who have careers in Europe, from around MLS and other teams in North America. I can see that’s where I want my career to go.”
It “could have been 9-6”: Eddies win high-scoring affair, but Smits named man of the match 24 May 2015 It’s not often when there are six goals in a game — and the winning team scores four of them — that a goalkeeper is named the man of the match.
Gut check in Vancouver: “What a performance” by the Eddies, says Miller 13 May 2015 “What a performance by these guys tonight,” said FC Edmonton coach Colin Miller. “It speaks to the culture that we’re trying to build here. We gave up some very poor goals to the best team in NASL on Sunday. But we came into this game not looking to draw; we thought we could win the game. We knew that, playing against the best team in the MLS Western Conference, that we couldn’t have one single player out there fail tonight. And we didn’t have any failures.”
Cosmos score early, often in 4-2 triumph over the Eddies 10 May 2015 Crazily, that marks only the fourth quickest goal the Eddies have given up this season in NASL or Canadian Championship play. That’s right. Even though the season began in April, the Mendes goal is only at No. 4 in the quick-goals chart.
