Finally..was time to move on

Ennin also played three usl games in 2016. Opportunities are there for players who don't make mls teams..even if it's lower leagues it's a good starting place and experience

^ Yes

Randy Edwini-Bonsu signed with Tennis Borussia Berlin in d5 and played 20 minutes on Friday in a 4-3 win. From d3 to d5 in a couple of years and 27 years old..just shows how competitive it is out there

Higher salary in this case doesn't necessarily mean higher level of play of the league when it comes to comparing with d4 spain or italy. There are many reasons why the salary is higher. 360+ teams in d4 spain with 122 teams above… Saying those usl players are of higher level means they are at least d3. First, even if 5-10 players on half of the teams are of higher level it doesn't mean that the league is of higher level. There could be plenty of players in d4 spain who could play higher. Then, take a team and identify those 5 players. Take Louisville City who are currently first in the east and have no affiliation with an mls team. Which 5 players would be starters in a d3 out there… Del Piccolo was a d4 sub in germany, Craig played d6 in england, Lancaster a d4 and d6 sub england before coming and has 6 usl goals this season…Unfortunately a lot of overestimating pro leagues here and not understanding that the level of training and development is much much higher there which means that even lower leagues are of high quality

Hittarps IK is in the fourth tier

Three pages in Dutch...the lines referring to his link to Canada should be posted

He's the top goalscorer in ISL's three year history. A legend out there. This year the league has expanded to 10 teams with Bengaluru and Jamshedpur joining. Getting more interesting...

There are still 80 teams in the third tier there and he had already played at that level last year so this was probably more interesting to him

Not an awful move for Yuma as he goes from a d4 of over 200 teams to a d4 of 64 teams and with Sedan's history and presence in L2 and even L1 in the past 15 years, they will look to move right back to National 1.

Goalkeeper Nolan Wirth signs with Phoenix Rising FC

Yes

Yes Leixoes survived in d2 through play-offs. He had a good season with Torrense. They finished 2nd and got into the promotion round but didn't get promoted in the end

A solution could be to have a tab for players who are not eligible but might become eligible. In the current form and with the criteria of the first post, someone could look at this and think that we have a player who is starting games at cb in mls (opare) and is eligible.

As long as the criterias are clear there is no issue. In the first post it is said that players who are eligible will be tracked but in the latest post it said that players who might become eligible will also be tracked. In that case, foreign players on Canadian teams who haven't played in an official game for another country, who are not far from being able to get Canadian nationality and not far from reaching the five year residency should also be tracked. They have a much better chance of becoming eligible than Opare.

The chance that he lives in Canada continuously for five years before the end of his career is 0.

If it's tracking players who might become eligible there are a lot more players to track

Signs a 5 year contact as a marquee player for cpl and becomes eligible at 33 by which time plenty of players will be better than him

He didn't play in an official competition for usa u20 as he was not eligible. He acquired Canadian nationality and now needs to live in Canada continuously for five years to be eligible. Therefore he is not eligible.

There is no longer a minimum league requirement. Any Canadian playing soccer abroad (or domestically based), who is in theory eligible for the Canadian national team, will have a place on this list and will be tracked.

As per this statement, Kofi Opare should not be on the list and not be tracked as he is not eligible.

Wow Sigma looks stronger than ever. Jelani Smith who signed with sturm graz in austria but only played with their reserve team in d3 and played in d5 germany. Giuliano Frano, Dominic Samuel and Jonathan Grant who have come back with usl experience and some players ready to go to strong college teams. Wondering if Marcel Zajac, Reggie Laryea and Duran Lee will also come back. 

The team that qualifies for the Voyageurs cup will most likely add more high quality players and have a chance to get to the final four.

Of FC London, Dominic Szyszka was on the bench for some games last year with Wigry Suwalki in d2 poland and played with Bron Radom in d4. Mark Serjeant played in usl with tfc2 and Elvir Gigolaj played in nasl with fc edmonton.

Taylor Lord with Durham...wow what a blast from the past. Remember him being at Monaco and having high hopes for him but he only got to usl pro. Now I really got to watch the Durham vs Vaughan game that is up on the site.

Jonathan Parolini of Durham used to play in serie d in italy when it was 5th tier and then played one game in the 4th tier with Bellaria Igea Marina. Vaughan also has the Mills brothers, Evan Brandon John who played in d5 germany and last year in usl with s2 and Dante Pavan who played in d4 and d5 italy. Master's has veterans Tristan Watson and Jelani Grant, Watson played d4 and d5 in germany and Grant played in multiple countries.  This is a high quality league. Glad to see stats posted. Hopefully they will put up some games online to watch.

Stamopoulos is still starting at LB with 23 in 27 games but his team is now in the relegation zone with 7 games to go.

Zambazis appeared on the bench for the first time this season in the league on April 9.

The coach of Utenis has just been removed. He probably approved the signing of Cebara. Hopefully it won't have a negative effect on him such as the new coach not having him in his plans. We've heard that one many times.

Interestingly, the club ceased competing in 2011 and was reestablished in 2014, joining the 2nd league. They got promoted right away and are still in the first league. The league went from 10 teams in 2015 to 8 in 2016 after one team was disqualified for breach of fairplay regulations and another withdrew after accusations of match-fixing and breach of fairplay regulations.
