Intrinsically Canadian Power Rankings: MLS Week 30/NASL Week 27/USL Week 28 2 Oct 2017 Congratulations go out this week to teenager Abraham Dukuly, who made his professional debut Sunday for FC Edmonton.
Adversity-eating Deltas win in Edmonton: “Hopefully we’ll all have jobs in 2018” 1 Oct 2017 “The only thing we can control, me as a coach and them as the players, is the better we perform, the better chance we have to be in another club next year or with the San Francisco Deltas,” said Dos Santos. “If San Francisco continues, good. If it doesn’t, and we do well, hopefully we’ll all have jobs in 2018.”
FCE needs to be better out of the gate 29 Sep 2017 Last week’s loss in San Francisco was just an extreme example of a trend in Eddies’ games. Even when the Eddies triumph, they grow into games, they don’t dominate right from the start.
Intrinsically Canadian Power Rankings: MLS Week 29/NASL Week 26/USL Week 27 25 Sep 2017 Orlando City’s Cyle Larin, Jacksonville’s Drew Beckie and Ottawa Fury keeper Callum Irving continue to lead their respective leagues when it comes to minutes played by Canadians.
Eddies dreadful start puts them in a hole they can’t escape 23 Sep 2017 The pit that the Eddies dug for themselves was simply too deep from which to escape, and Dustin Corea’s headed effort could only serve as a consolation in a 2-1 loss.
Intrinsically Canadian Power Rankings: MLS Week 28/NASL Week 25/USL Week 26 18 Sep 2017 Toronto FC misses a few key regulars, and still is good enough to annihilate the Los Angeles Galaxy, 4-0. For Canadian soccer followers, the big news out of TFC’s weekend win was that Tosaint Ricketts bagged a couple of goals.
Intrinsically Canadian Power Rankings: MLS Week 27/NASL Week 24/USL Week 25 11 Sep 2017 So far this season, 26 Canadians have appeared in MLS matches; but, of those, only five have earned more than 1,000 minutes each. To put that in perspective, 1,000 minutes is just over 11 games of full-game action. More than half are under the 500-minute mark.
Intrinsically Canadian Power Rankings: MLS Week 26/NASL Week 23/USL Week 24 4 Sep 2017 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.
Intrinsically Canadian Power Rankings: MLS Week 25/NASL Week 22/USL Week 23 28 Aug 2017 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.
Intrinsically Canadian Power Rankings: MLS Week 24/NASL Week 21/USL Week 22 20 Aug 2017 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.
