Armada enjoys record-setting night against FC Edmonton 5 Apr 2015 But, the Eddies were down by three goals at halftime — one for every week spent in Florida.

FCE camp update: Lousy weather, great expectations 29 Mar 2015 And while no coach will confirm or deny what the starting XI will be ahead of time, there’s a feeling that Tuesday’s preseason curtain-closer against Jacksonville United might give Eddies fans a closer idea of what the lineup will look like when Colin Miller and his troops begin the NASL season April 4 in the first-ever home opener for the expansion Jacksonville Armada.

Laing: “Wouldn’t be a greater joy” than helping FCE beat the Strikers on Saturday 22 Oct 2014 “There wouldn’t be a greater joy than to beat my former team and knock them out of a playoff spot and get myself into it. That’s what’s soccer is all about. Teams that win championships, to get to a championship game. On Saturday, this game is as big as a championship game for us. If we lose, we’re out. If we tie, you can say that we are out as well. We have to go there with the mentality that we have to get three points.”
Laing scores directly off corner, adds assist as Eddies beat Ottawa 18 Oct 2014 In the middle of the week, Lance Laing signed a contract extension that will keep him in Eddies blue and white into the 2015 season.

Unkel’s controversial call, Pickens’s great saves deny FCE a win in Tampa 5 Oct 2014 And, then, it all changed with one blow of a whistle. Unkel blew a play dead after a cross went into the FCE area. A few players had gone down in the scrum. The Rowdies players went to complain, as they were sure the foul was being called on them. But Unkel, instead, pointed to the spot, claiming that FCE defender Kareem Moses had impeded the Rowdies’ Keith Savage.
