The Fire trimmed the training camp roster to 33 remaining players (21 signed players, 2 draft picks, and 10 trialists) today after cutting draft choice Amani Walker and trialists Jordan Seabrook, Eric Ustruck, Evan Schwartz, Fabian Burbano, Anderson Costa, and Jocian Bento.

Tunisian Nadir Taider has been identified as one of the new trialists but interestingly enough Open Tryout winner Pari Pantazopolous has survived the first few rounds of cuts and remains in camp.

The Fire can't be too happy with a 2-2 draw with Florida Gulf Coast University on Thursday night. The game was played in three thirty minute halves and featured most of the trialists on the pitch as the Fire relinquished a two goal lead after the first sixty minutes.

Here's the Fire line-up:

Sean Johnson (Jon Conway 31', Alec Dufty 61')

Jalil Anibaba (Yoximar 31', Eric Ustruck 61', Yoximar 79')

Josip Mikulic (Kwame Watson-Siriboe 31')

Cory Gibbs (Pari Pantazopolous 31', Jalil Anibaba 61')

Gonzalo Segares (Michael Muniz 31', Evan Schwarz 61')

Patrick Nyarko (Bratislav Ristic 31', Jochian Bendu 61')

Baggio Husidic (Fabio Burbano 31', Martin Rivas 61', Shane Clark)

Logan Pause (Michael Videira 31', Corben Bone 61')

Daniel Paladini (Marco Pappa 31', Orr Barouch 61')

Gaston Puerari (Calen Carr 31', Amani Walker 61', Jason Herrick 82')

Gabriel Ferrari (Anderson Costa 31', Davis Paul 61')

As you can see subsitutions were very liberal while Marco Pappa and Kwame Watson-Siriboe scored the goals for the Fire.

Media Day at the Bridgeview Sportsdome featured the full current roster in training with the exception of the two mystery international strikers, Deris Umanzor who has been loaned to Aguila in El Salvador, and Steve Kinney and Mike Banner who are recovering from injuries.

Carlos De Los Cobos and Frank Klopas addressed the media after training.
