USL news

The messageboards and blogs have been working overtime in the last week debating and reporting any snippets about the USL and TOA situation. Whilst the meeting in Portland did not address the TOA matter directly, it was a very positive meeting with many new initiatives. Ironically some of them are the very issues the TOA claimed to be at odds with the USL management. I'm not going to speculate on what will happen next - it's too busy here at the office preparing for next season.

We've also been busy decorating the office - we have accumulated quite a few jerseys and scarves over the season and we finally got round to putting them up. We also have an amazing wooden Aztec calendar that has pride of place at the front of the office. Visitors are welcome!




Last night's MLS playoff game between Real Salt Lake and Columbus Crew was full of action and, to be honest, some woeful goalkeeping. It was great to see Jean Alexandre get into the action. He had a great England trip and was indispensable as a translator for Ednerson and Vaniel. Speaking of, Adrian has been on a trip to Haiti (more on the website) and was in a car on the way back from a game when he saw an Aztex sticker in the back of a car - it turned out to be Ednerson!

Phil and Adrian are also taking a side trip to South America on the way to the USL AGM in Tampa on 19th November.

Finally, we welcome Djorn to the office on Monday - he's keen and ready to take up his duties.
