I been reading the book - <b>The Nowhere Men -
The Unknown Story of Football's True Talent Spotters by Michael Calvin - </b>A good book that I would recommend, that gives you a great insight on Football Scouting in England. It talks in chapter 6 about scouting a game for Colchester United so I thought I compare the report with basic statistics I produced for the club that season. I might take goal, assists and shot detail for the club that season to get more insight.</div>

He is 86 has pneumonia currently sedated and on oxygen. Although I think he get a kick out of me posting this well he's still alive.<br />
<br />
From Maclean's - June 10 - 2002 <br />
<br />
Richard Nielsen is no stranger to conflict. It has dogged the native of Plaster Rock, N.B., throughout what he refers to as his "checkered" career. As a 18-year-old steelworker in Hamilton, Ont., he took part in a groundbreaking, 81-day illegal strike at Stelco. Turning to journalism soon after, he was fired for a scoop about dishonest mine inspectors in Kirkland Lake, Ont. (mining dominated the town's economy). Then, as an organizer for the Canadian Brotherhood of Railway, Transport and General Workers - the job he held before becoming a program organizer (and eventually an executive producer) at the CBC in 1961 - Nielsen helped drive out of the country Hal Banks, the American union boss imported by the Liberal government in 1949 to rid workplaces of Communist agitators.<br />
<br />
It's no surprise, then, that during his 30, post-CBC years as an independent television producer and scriptwriter, he has drawn on those experiences creatively. Both Banks and the Stelco strike figure among his lengthy list of drama and documentary credits. But the conflict the Toronto filmmaker keeps returning to is one he has no personal experience of - war. Beginning with Billy Bishop Goes to War in 1982, Nielsen has churned out one documentary after another chronicling Canada's military history. Following his more recent, critically acclaimed series on the world wars, Far From Home and No Price Too High, there is some credibility to his joke, "I practically own Remembrance Day." And his latest creation, Test of Will: Canada in Korea, continues the tradition, throwing light on a less familiar chapter of the country's wartime experiences.<br />
<br />
What draws Nielsen, 74, to war is not so much a fascination with military conflict itself as with the fodder it provides for storytelling. "I've found so many untold stories" which, because they involve "sacrifices where sincerity is proven by action," he says, hold tremendous dramatic potential. It is his talent in portraying those incidents through the thoughts and feelings of ordinary Canadians that makes Nielsen's work so compelling. Using reports, reminiscences and letters written to and by soldiers at the front, he and his crew at Toronto's Norflicks Productions foster an intimacy between the viewer and the films' subjects that eludes many documentaries.<br />
<br />
The portrait Nielsen draws in Test of Will of the 26,791 men, most of them Second World War veterans, who volunteered for the early-1950s Korean conflict is no exception. Moving stories - such as those about Canadian troops discovering a unit of American GIs killed in their sleep, and a Canadian battalion adopting a seven-year-old male Korean refugee - effectively humanize a war that many today believe was fought without this country's involvement. The film also develops a case for the critical contribution Canadians made in key battles. At Kap'yong, for instance, after witnessing the retreat of first the South Korean army, and then the Australian battalions, and vastly outnumbered by an advancing Chinese army, Canadian troops under the command of Col. Jim Stone dug in and held their ground. The Chinese were never able to penetrate further south. This stand earned the Second Battalion Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry a U.S. Presidential Distinguished Unit Citation, the first and only such honour awarded to a Canadian unit.<br />
<br />
But Nielsen isn't simply a cheerleader for the home team. Although he doesn't question the premises of the Korean conflict, or ask if prime minister Louis St. Laurent was justified in following the lead of the U.S. in supporting president Syngman Rhee's corrupt South Korean regime (Nielsen believes he was), he does raise some disturbing questions about the way the war was fought, and the response of those back home. In a scene that recalls recent events in Afghanistan, viewers learn about squadron leader Andy Mackenzie, who spent two years in a POW camp after being shot down, as he later learns, by an American. Fearing the effect such news would have on the war effort, his Canadian superiors ordered Mackenzie to "forget the whole thing."<br />
<br />
Keeping the public ignorant about what is really going on, says Nielsen, is typical in wartime. War "gives people an excuse to lie." Nielsen also argues in the film that the Canadian contribution has never been properly commemorated. The civilians back home showed little interest in the Korean conflict, paying scant attention to the returning soldiers and the 529 who died on and off the battlefield. Moreover, until 1991, the federal government denied the PPCLI veterans the right to wear the medals they had been awarded, and it has never officially recognized the Wall of Remembrance that veterans erected in 1997 in Brampton, Ont. Ottawa's explanation? According to the United Nations Security Council, which sanctioned it, the Korean conflict was not a war but a "police action" - a stance that the filmmaker dismisses as "fiction."<br />
<br />
As for the public's apparent lack of interest in Canadian military achievements, he suggests another reason: "We're determined not to have greatness thrust upon us, particularly in an area that is morally ambiguous, like war." Uncomfortable with the notion that Canadians are, in fact, accomplished warriors, we stick instead to the national conceit that we are, in our most essential aspect, peacekeepers. "Nonsense," Nielsen insists. Not only was the country at war for 13 out of 39 years in the early part of the last century, but called to battle Canadians are virtually alone in volunteering in large numbers. Nielsen rattles off a host of statistics he came up with in his research: 70,000 Canadians signed up to fight in the American Civil War; next to the French, we boasted the largest per capita foreign presence in the Spanish Civil War; twice as many Canadians per capita served in Israel in 1948 than Americans; and we sent more volunteers than any other country to Vietnam. Canadians, particularly the young men among us, says Nielsen (who was one month short of reporting to the navy when the Second World War ended in August, 1945), "want war. There is a hunger to prove something."<br />
<br />
And once Canadians take up arms, he continues, they often enjoy it. "The reason vets talk so little about war is because they're ashamed of how exciting they found it." Nielsen has in mind men like Ernie Glover of Niagara Falls, Ont., who, at 29, was a star fighter pilot in Korea. "Adrenaline flows very quickly and the heart is pumping a mile a minute," recalls Glover in Test of Will. "If you get a strike, you feel like walking on water. You want to talk, talk, talk. You're laughing, joking, really high."<br />
<br />
Korea, argues Nielsen, marks a watershed in Canadian military history. Insofar as Canada deployed seasoned veterans who saw themselves as resisting yet another incarnation of evil - Communism - Korea can be seen as a sort of coda to the Second World War. But he says the Asian conflict also represents a departure from the past as Canada, without explicitly acknowledging as much, "segued out of the British empire and into the American" - thereby laying the ground for "a reinvention of war." Led by a superpower whose weaponry and aircraft are vastly superior to those of its foes, Nielsen says, "modern wars are obscene." In both the 1991 Persian Gulf War and the ongoing conflict in Afghanistan - the two wars since Korea in which Canadian troops have participated - the U.S. and its allies sweep down and decimate whole villages without substantial risk to their own troops. "Our vision is of a knight fighting another knight. We don't reserve much honour for knights who beat up people on the ground."<br />
<br />
Such views may not be popular with the army and navy officers who advise Nielsen on his military films, but the producer doesn't worry about speaking his mind these days. "Old age," he says, quoting Bette Davis, "is not for sissies," adding, "you learn to overcome your fears." For a man who has courted conflict both personally and artistically - and who, with a book and more films in the works, is showing no signs of battle fatigue - that is good news indeed.<br />
<br />

<br />
My Grandfather Richard Nielsen passed away at 1pm on Saturday October 25, 2014, The most intelligent person I have ever met and a great example of how the "Canadian Experience" influence us as human beings.<br />
<br />
His parents immigrated from Denmark, He was born and grew up in the Maritimes, moved west for work, was upset with how workers were treated so he joined the Union, then a journalist including in Kirkland Lake, Ottawa and London England, then the CBC, then as an independent film, television maker and writer and president of the company Norflicks (<a href="http://www.norflicks.com/richard-nielsen.html">http://www.norflicks.com/richard-nielsen.html</a>) supporting the Canadian ideas and protecting them all the time.<br />
<br />
I was with him in the hospital on Thursday he was on oxygen but we had our normal conversation even to the point that two days before his death he called up his assistant to manage work issues. He has a new Military documentary that was to be aired amongst dignitaries in Ottawa and has a new show on Jean Vanier who will probably be Canada's next Saint and passes away with over 10 projects still in development.<br />
<br />
This at 86 years of age and if the body didn't fail he would be like this for the next 20 years, Richard will have an influence on my life and I know others going forward and with all talk of staying healthy, being financially secure for when we are older it is also important to be motivated and use our minds. Richard was married for 60 years, my incredible Grandmother who is still alive, had three daughters, 8 grand kids and now 6 great grand kids and starting on his parents farm worked for over 75 years.enbsportshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00573063498608044948noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1532215387427850398.post-32642219989466770182014-10-07T16:32:00.000-07:002014-10-07T17:05:46.391-07:002015 MLS Top 100 Prospect Mid-Season Update<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">In the upcoming Gaffer & Hooligan podcast Kamal Hylton (@KamalHylton) and I plan to talk about the 2014 American College Soccer season including the top prospects for the 2015 MLS Draft/Homegrown signing period. As a companion piece for our upcoming Gaffer & Hooligan European Podcast on War Room Sports Radio Network we will be discussing the top prospects in European football. </span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">I produce prospects lists and videos for each world soccer league I cover statistically although the definition of the term prospect varies on awareness of the player so some players might be as young as seventeen well others can be as old as twenty-four also there are large differences in the quality of leagues.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
In January of 2013 I put together a list of what I felt were the top 100 players in World Football under the age of 20 -<a href="http://enbsports.blogspot.ca/2013/01/world-football-top-100-players-under-20.html" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">http://enbsports.blogspot.ca/<wbr></wbr>2013/01/world-football-top-<wbr></wbr>100-players-under-20.html</a> and for our European Podcast I updated this list for 8/29/2014. As I mentioned in my previous list, statistically I don't have as much information on a younger player compared to a player who has played a number of seasons. Although I did cover major youth tournaments over recent years and have recently added the UEFA Youth League and English Premier Under 21 League to leagues I cover statistically. </div>

The videos include a highlight as well as the player final 2013-2014 league statistics. The statistics I tabulated as part of the 50+ leagues I cover each year and my database of 80,000 players. I also have career statistics for each player with my data tabulation going back 15 years.<br />

In terms of the countries that qualified for the World Cup I been covering their domestic leagues and leagues the players were transferred to since the early 2000's. So for this year I created a player register for each country who qualified to help give greater details on how players performed going into this World Cup. I do lack data for countries such as Honduras, Costa Rica and Algeria but hopefully I was able to give these countries justice with what information was available.</div>

<strong>Analysis:</strong> In past decade, no player has had a greater impact on US National Team or the creation of professional league in North America than Abby Wambach. Arguably the top player in all forms of the North American women’s professional leagues, she lead her home club, the Western New York Flash, to 1st place in the league only losing out on the championship game to Portland.</div>

<div align="left" class="p" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">
Western NY return most of their key players from last season including Carli Lloyd, Spanish National Team player Adriana Martin and Australian Samatha Kerr, and they are now joined by fellow Australian Lydia Williams. The 2015 World Cup might be Wambach’s last games as a player and it would be fitting in preparation if she could bring her hometown Rochester a NWSL championship.

<strong>2013:</strong> 3-5-14 (8th Place)
<br />
<strong>Head Coach:</strong> Mark Parsons
<br />
<strong>Key Returners</strong><strong>:</strong> Diana Matheson M (19gp 8g 3a), Lori Lindsey M (21gp 1g 2a), Robyn Gayle (14gp 1a), Ashlyn Harris G (18gp)<br />
<strong>Key Newcomers</strong><strong>:</strong> Christine Nairn M (22gp 3g 5a - Seattle), Ranae Cueller F (18gp 5g - Kansas City), Danesha Adams F (20gp 3g 3a - Sky Blue), Crystal Dunn D (1st pick overall)</div>
<div align="left" class="p" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">
<strong>Analysis:</strong> Despite the efforts of Canadian National Team players Diana Matheson and Robyn Gayle, the Spirit struggled, finishing last in the league in 2013. The Spirt have made some improvements, including drafting Crystal Dunn with the 1st pick overall in the 2014 draft as well as adding Christine Narin, Ranae Cueller and Danesha Adams.</div>
<div align="left" class="p" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">

<div align="left" class="p" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">
They will hopefully provide some goal scoring, since outside of Matheson’s eight goals last season no other player scored more than two goals for the Spirit during the 2013 season. The club also added Yael Averbuch, who has US National Team experience and Danish international Cecilie Sandvej. On paper, the Spirit are still one of the weaker teams in the league, especially in scoring, with only 22 national team goals among all the players on the roster.

<strong>2013:</strong> 10-6-6 (4th place/Lost Semi-Finals)
<br />
<strong>Head Coach:</strong> Jim Gabarra<br />
<strong>Key Returners:</strong> Monica Ocampo F (16gp 8g 2a), Christie Rampone D (20gp 1a), Courtney Goodson D (22gp 1g 1a)<br />
<strong>Key Newcomers:</strong> Jonelle Filigno F (CWNT), Nanase Kiryu (Japan), Maya Hayes (1st Round Pick)</div>
<div align="left" class="p" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">
<strong>Analysis:</strong> The Sky Blues are Greater New York's club in the NWSL who also participated in the WPS. The team did well last season finishing forth through the leadership of US National Team veteran Christie Rampone and the offensive play of Mexican Monica Ocampo. The Sky Blues had added to their attacking depth this off season by signing Canadian Jonelle Filigno, Japanese international Nanase Kiryu and drafting Maya Hayes who scored 71 goals in 89 games while in College at Penn State. With Seattle improving this season the competition for playoffs places should be tighter this season, which might make the Sky Blue's the odd team out.<br />
<strong>2014 Prediction: </strong>5th Place

<strong>2013:</strong> 5-3-14 (7th Place)<br />
<strong>Head Coach:</strong> Laura Harvey
<br />
<strong>Key Returners: </strong>Hope Solo G (14gp), Megan Rapinoe (12gp 5g), Jessica Fishlock M (21gp 4g), Lauren Barnes D (22gp 1a)<br />
<strong>Key Newcomers:</strong> Sydney LeRoux F (19gp 11g 2a - Boston), Nahomi Kawasumi M (Japan), Kim Little M (Scotland), Carmelina Moscato D (10gp - Chicago)</div>
<div align="left" class="p" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">
<strong>Analysis:</strong> Seattle had an unexpectedly disappointing season last year, although partly due to injury and players missing games, but have gone out of there way this season to be one of the top teams in the league. The club still has US National Team mainstays Hope Solo, Jessica Fishlock and Megan Rapinoe, but have also added Japanase national team player Nahomi Kawasumi, Canadian Carmelina Moscato and ex-pat Sydney LeRoux, who scored 11 goals with Boston last season.</div>

<div align="left" class="p" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">
To me the most interesting signing is Kim Little who is the Christine Sinclair comparison for the Scottish National Team. Little played a number of seasons with UK powerhouse in Women's soccer Arsenal and is the star of Scotland’s Women's National team who should qualify for the 2015 Women's World Cup in Canada.<br />
<strong>2014 Prediction:</strong> 2nd Place

<strong>2013:</strong> 11-5-6 (3rd Place/Won League Championship Finals)
<br />
<strong>Head Coach:</strong> Paul Riley<br />
<strong>Key Returners:</strong> Christine Sinclair F (20gp 8g 2a), Alex Morgan F (18gp 8g 5a), Allie Long M (22gp 3g 3a), Meleana Shim M (19gp 5g 2a)

<div align="left" class="p" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">
<strong>Analysis:</strong> The NWSL benefitted greatly with Portland winning the league’s first title last season. The team is connected to MLS-club Portland Timbers, plays in the same stadium, averaged over 13,000 fans a game and they also have two of most high profile players in the women’s game in Christine Sinclair and Alex Morgan who performed what was expected of them last season. The biggest concern with the Thorns this season is overall depth they did add experienced German keeper Nadine Angerer who has played 250 professional games. To give a comparison, Sinclair who has now played 195 games for Canada, has only played 75 games in what would be regarded a pro league.</div>

<strong>2013:</strong> 11-5-6 (2nd Place/Lost in Semi Finals)
<br />
<strong>Head Coach:</strong> Vlatko Andonovski
<br />
<strong>Key Returners:</strong> Lauren Holiday F (18gp 12g 9a), Erika Tymrak M (21gp 6g 4a), Merritt Mathias F (22gp 2g 3a), Jen Buczkowski M (22gp 2a), Leigh Ann Robinson D (22gp 5a)
<br />
<strong>Key Newcomers:</strong> Amy Rodriguez F (USWNT), Liz Bogus F (20gp 1g 2a - Seattle),<br />
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="p" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">
<strong>Analysis:</strong> With Desiree Scott choosing to play professional soccer in England, FC Kansas City are the only team in the NWSL not to have a Canadian player on their roster. However, if given an opportunity to watch, you should, as FCKC have one of the most dynamic offenses in the league led by Lauren Holiday who is quickly becoming a key player for the US National Team and could be one of the top players during the 2015 World Cup.</div>
<div align="left" class="p" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">
In addition to Holiday there is Amy Rodriguez who has been capped over 100 times for the US Women's National team, although missed last season due the birth of her first child. Kansas City should compete as they did last season with the biggest concerns in defense, but they also have US Keeper and defender Nicole Barnhart and Becky Sauerbrunn in the team.

<strong>2013:</strong> Expansion Team<br />
<strong>Head Coach:</strong> Randy Waldrum
<br />
<strong>Key Newcomers:</strong> Ella Masar F (20gp 3g 2a - Chicago), Erin McLeod G (16gp - Chicago), Lauren Sesselmann (19g - Kansas City), Teresa Noyola M (18gp 1g 1a - Seattle), Stephanie Ochs F (22gp 1g 2a - Washington), Kealia Ohai (1st Round Pick)</div>
<div align="left" class="p" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">
<strong>Analysis:</strong> The newest NWSL club, the Houston Dash, will be up against it as on paper they are by far the weakest team in the league going into the season. The players on the roster only combined for eight NWSL goals last season and they also collectively have the least National Team experience.</div>
<div align="left" class="p" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">

<div align="left" class="p" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">
This means Canadian National Team goalkeeper Erin McLeod and defender Lauren Sesselmann will be very busy on the pitch, and also being the most experienced players in the club will have to take a leadership role as well. The team does include some players of interest for the 2015 World Cup, including Japanese defender Aya Sameshima, two of the top Mexican players in Arianna Romero and Teresa Noyola, Brazilian Rafaelle Souza, and American national team prospect Kealia Ohai.

<strong>2013:</strong> 8-6-8 (6th Place)
<br />
<strong>Head Coach:</strong> Rory Dames
<br />
<strong>Key Returners:</strong> Lori Chalupny M (18gp 5g 4a), Jackie Sanacaterina D (18gp 3g 1a), Rachel Quon D (19gp 1a), Adriana Leon F (16gp 2g 1a)<br />
<strong>Key Newcomers:</strong> Karina LeBlanc G (21gp - Portland), Christen Press F (USWNT), Melissa Tancredi F (CanWNT)</div>
<div align="left" class="p" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">
<strong>Analysis:</strong> This offseason, the Red Stars took advantage of one of the option the NWSL has, being a huge player pool to choose from as they brought three experienced national team players who were not playing in the NWSL last season. Christen Press has scored 11 goals with the US National Team and will be joined by two Canadians in attack with new signing Melissa Tancredi and Adriana Leon who scored 2 goals last season.</div>

<div align="left" class="p" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">
Meanwhile new signing and Canadian National Team keeper Karina LeBlanc to improve a defense that already includes Rachel Quon. With Lesilie Osburne, Lori Chalupny and potentially Shannon Box spearheading the midfield, Chicago should improve as long as new signings are able to play together as a team.

<strong>2013:</strong> 8-8-6 (5th Place)
<br />
<strong>Head Coach:</strong> Tom Durkin<br />
<strong>Key Returners:</strong> Lianne Sanderson M (22gp 5g 7a), Heather O'Reilly M (20gp 5g 6a), Cat Whitehill D (22gp 1g 2a), Kaylyn Kyle M (21gp 3g)
<br />
<strong>Key Newcomers:</strong> Courtney Jones F (22g 4g 1a - Kansas City), Lisa DeVanna (16g 5g 2a - Sky Blue), Nikem Ezurike (1st Round Pick)<br />
<br />
<strong>Analysis: </strong>With the drafting of Nkem Ezurike, the Breakers now have four Canadians in their club along with National Team veterans Rhian Wilkinson, Kaylyn Kyle, Chelsea Stewart. Boston have a strong midfield through Lianne Sanderson and Heather O'Reilly who combined for 10 goals 13 assists and 47 shots on target.</div>

<div align="left" class="p" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">
The biggest question will be how the forward line will do as the club traded top scorer Sydney Leroux and brought in Lisa DeVanna who played 81 games with Australian National Team. However, the rest of the forwards have no national team experience, so it will be interesting to see how players such as Ezurike develop.

<strong>2013:</strong> 10-8-8 (5th Spring Season/3rd Fall Season)
<br />
<strong>Head Coach:</strong> Ricky Hill
<br />
<strong>Key Returners:</strong> Georgi Hristov M (22gp 12g 5a), Jay Needham D (20gp 2g), Frankie Sanfilippo D (25gp 2a), Diego Restrepo G (23gp), Evans Frimpong M (23gp 6g 2a)
<br />
<strong>Key Newcomers:</strong> Brian Shriver F (22gp 13g 1a - Carolina), Darel Russel F (Toronto - MLS), Anthony Wallace D (Colorado - MLS), Christophe Lallet (Hammarby - Sweden)
</div>
<div align="left" class="p" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">
<strong>Analysis:</strong> Similar to other clubs favoured to do well this season, the Tampa Bay Rowdies have done a great job recruiting players who were highly regarded in the American youth soccer system and as potential MLS players. The Rowdies forward combination of Brian Shriver, Amani Walker, Lucky Mkosana, and Casey Townsend would be familiar to any person who follows either college or soccer at this level.</div>

<div align="left" class="p" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">
Although what will make the Rowdies successful this season are three foreign signings in the midfield with Bulgarian Georgi Hristov, who scored 12 goals and 5 assists last season, Christophe Lallet, who was a starter in Sweden Allsvenskan, and Darel Russell who has played 400 professional games including 18 last season with Toronto FC. The Rowdies have good experience and depth in all positions and will feel they have as good of chance as anybody else in lifting the 2014 Soccer Bowl.

<strong>2013:</strong> 9-3-14 (3rd Spring Season/8th Fall Season)
<br />
<strong>Head Coach:</strong> Alen Macrina
<br />
<strong>Key Returners:</strong> Javier Saavedra M (22gp 1g 6a), Greg Janicki D (20gp), Pat Phelan D (20gp), Thomas Zahorksi (14gp 9g)
<br />
<strong>Key Newcomers:</strong> Daniel Barrera M (21gp 4g 7a - Atlanta), Richard Menjivar M (21gp 2g 2a - Atlanta), Sainey Touray F (26gp 12g 5a - Harrisburg), Shaun Saiko M (17gp 2g 3a - Edmonton)
</div>
<div align="left" class="p" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">
<strong>Analysis:</strong> San Antonio had a very poor fall season and have made drastic changes over the last six months, including the manager and seven to eight of the starting eleven. It's Canadian manager Alen Marcina’s first job, although to help him the Scorpions brought in midfielders Saiko, Barrera, Menjivar and Walter Restrepo; all players who I feel deserves a deeper evaluation regarding their MLS potential. They join Saavedra and former Chivas USA player Josue Soto in one of the most interesting midfield’s in all of North American soccer.</div>
<div align="left" class="p" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">

<div align="left" class="p" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">
The defense includes four former MLS players including Ex-TFC'ers Adrian Cann and Julius James, while Eric Hassli joined a forward pack that includes Touray, who scoerd 12 goals, and Zahorski’s 9 goals in 2013. Like Ottawa, the biggest question for the Scorpions is how they gel as a club although I think they will be successful and show their MLS big brother how you can build depth on a budget.

<strong>2013:</strong> No Record - Expansion Team
<br />
<strong>Head Coach:</strong> Marc Dos Santos
<br />
<strong>Key Players</strong><strong>:</strong> Nicki Paterson M (24gp 7g 3a - Charleston), Sinisa Ubiparipovic M (Montreal MLS) Maykon D (AEL Cyprus), Mason Trafford D (Guizhou China), Tony Donatelli M (26gp 3gl 3a - VSI Tampa), Tommy Heinemann F (Vancouver MLS)</div>

<strong>Analysis:</strong> Ottawa went to great effort to add depth this winter to allow them to be a competitive team in their inaugural NASL season. The club includes two players who played in MLS last season with Heinemann and Ubiparipovic, plus six players from Europe and Canadian Andres Fresenga who played in South America. What should make Ottawa successful is the quality of players they signed from NASL level of play led by the midfield combination of Nicki Paterson and Tony Donatelli. It might take time for them to gel as unit but I feel they will be very strong this season and challenge for a Soccer Bowl place.

<strong>2013:</strong> 9-4-1 (1st Fall Season / Won Soccer Bowl 1-0)
<br />
<strong>Head Coach:</strong> Giovanni Savarese<br />
<strong>Key Returners:</strong> Marcos Senna M (13gp 5g 2a), Diomar Diaz F (12gp 5g 2a), Carlos Mendes D (13gp 1a), Hunter Freeman D (12gp 1a)
<br />
<strong>Key Newcomers:</strong> Hans Denissen F (21gp 12g 2a - San Antonio), Jemal Johnson F (11gp 1g 1a - Fort Lauderdale), Mads Stokkelien F (Stabaek Norway)</div>
<div align="left" class="p" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">
<strong>Analysis:</strong> The Cosmos, in the old tradition of the NASL, out-spent the other teams in the league, put together a quality team led by La Liga and Spanish National Team star Marcos Senna, and dominated the league losing only once all (fall) season long and winning the 2013 Soccer Bowl. The Cosmos kept most of their 2013 team going into the 2014 season and added depth, especially in the forward position led by Hans Denissen who scored 12 goals with San Antonio last season.</div>

<div align="left" class="p" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">
The question now is with the Cosmos participating in both seasons this year, will they continue to dominate or will the extra amount of games become an issue? I expect them to have the depth and with the added games it will give an opportunity for some of the younger players to get minutes.<br />
<strong>2014 Prediction:</strong> 1st Place

<strong>2013:</strong> 10-4-12 (6th Spring Season/4th Fall Season)<br />
<strong>Head Coach:</strong> Manny Lagos
<br />
<strong>Key Returners: </strong>Simone Bracalello F (23gp 7g 5a), Miguel Ibarra M (26gp 1g 4a), Matt Van Oekel G (18gp), Justin Davis D (19gp)<br />
<strong>Key Newcomers:</strong> Tiago D (Sydney Australia), Jamie Watson M (20gp 10g 7a - Orlando), Christian Ramirez F (23gp 8g 4a - Charlotte), Tyler Polak (18gp - Rochester)</div>
<div align="left" class="p" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">
<strong>Analysis:</strong> Without a chance for a playoff run, Minnesota had a mediocre 2013 season despite a number of quality individual performances. Players such as Bracalello, Ibarra, Van Oekel and Davis hope to continue their strong play although the loss of last season’s top goal scorer in Pablo Campos to a season ending injury will hurt their depth, especially up front.</div>

<div align="left" class="p" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">
Minnesota brought in three players who were highly thought of in USL Pro including Jamie Watson, who scored 10 goals and 7 assists with Orlando last season, and former GA signing Tyler Polak. Forth year coach Manny Lagos also brought in Brazilian veteran Tiago who has played in Europe and Australia. With the new NASL system of less playoff spots, Minnesota will have to show a greater consistency through a number of games to challenge for this year’s Soccer Bowl.<br />

<strong>2013:</strong> No Record - Expansion Team
<br />
<strong>Head Coach:</strong> Juergen Sommer<br />
<strong>Key Newcomers:</strong> Jose Kleberson M (Philadelphia MLS), Kristian Nicht G (24gp - Rochester), Walter Ramirez M (24gp 2g 2a - San Antonio), Mike Ambersley F (18gp 2g 1a - Tampa Bay), Pedro Mendes F (24gp, 8g, 1a - Atlanta)
</div>
<div align="left" class="p" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">
<strong>Analysis:</strong> Indy has gone the more traditional development direction than fellow expansion club Ottawa with only 18 players connected to the roster and only 1/3 them with a pro footballing pedigree. This doesn't mean there isn't some exciting additions, including former Manchester United and Brazilian international Jose Kleberson, Hondurans Walter Ramierez and Erick Norales, veteran keeper Kristian Nicht and forward Pedro Mendes, who I talked about in my list of overlooked players by the MLS. Depth will be the biggest issue for the club going into this season and are currently trialing a number of players who played at local universities.<br />
<strong>2014 Prediction:</strong> 10th Place
