The most significant change comes in MLS, where Orlando City, which has been that league’s leader in minutes played by Canadians since First Kick, was finally passed at the top. The Montreal Impact, even with Samuel Piette and Anthony Jackson-Hamel on international duty, has surpassed the Lions in terms of minutes played by Canadians. Patrice Bernier’s 90 minutes played in Saturday’s loss to Chicago helped nudge the Impact ahead.

Well, North Carolina FC keeper Brian Sylvestre’s own goal on Saturday night will get the NASL that exposure. It’s going to find its way onto blooper reels on sportscasts around the world. It's that, well, odd. Sylvestre’s gaffe allowed FC Edmonton to get a 1-1 tie in Cary, N.C.

Teenagers David Doe and Abraham Dukuly are the latest to make the jumps from FC Edmonton’s Academy to professional contracts.

Coach Colin Miller looks back to a June 3 loss at Puerto Rico as the turning point for the Eddies. FCE was hammered 3-0 in the Caribbean that night, and Miller called it the worst performance by the Eddies since he took over as coach before the 2013 campaign.

FC Edmonton’s Allan Zebie scored his first NASL goal, and it stood as the winner as the Eddies defeated the San Francisco Deltas 2-1 in the league’s unofficial Canadian derby.

But, there were so many wild swings in FC Edmonton’s 2-1 win at San Francisco on Saturday night, it’s hard to know where to begin.

This coming Monday, Sean Fleming will sit down with FC Edmonton coach Colin Miller and assistant Jeff Paulus, who also directs the team’s Academy. Fleming will also meet with parents of some of the Alberta Capital Region’s  best soccer prospects.

But we’d be remiss in our duties at The 11 to ignore the fact that the number of minutes for Canadian players at TFC has dwindled over the last couple months.

Some themes we’ve seen over and over again this FCE season played out once again Sunday at Clarke Stadium, as the Eddies had to settle for a 1-1 home draw with Puerto Rico FC.

This brings us to FC Edmonton keeper Tyson Farago. When it comes to a heavy kicking foot, the only NASL keeper I can remember hitting the ball for the same kind of distance as Farago does was Daniel Illyes, who played for the Atlanta Silverbacks in 2012 and ‘13.
