Sometimes adversity brings out the best in us. Going into Wednesday's match with the undefeated
Puerto Rico Islanders, the Fort Lauderdale Strikers were without their head coach, Daryl Shore,
forward/assistant coach Abe Thompson and dependable defender Toni Stahl due to suspension following
Saturday's match with the San Antonio Scorpions.

being on trial with them all of preseason.
With less than 50 days until the 2012 NASL season opening kickoff, the Carolina RailHawks have been

from last year's side and adding two of their own U-23 players. The Strikers announced the

A day late on the former SKC Wizards update, but being a day late has given me a little extra news
to post. Word on the Twitter account for Mexican club, Puebla FC is that they are signing former
Wizards player, Eddie Johnson. Johnson would join the brother of another Wizard, as DaMarcus
Beasley also plays for Puebla FC.
Another former SKC Wizards Update, plenty of player movement this week. Jonathan Leathers, Rauwshan
McKenzie, and Ryan Pore are now without clubs after not being selected in the second stage of the
re-entry draft. They're joined by Shavar Thomas who also wasn't selected. Also looking for a new
club, is Stephane Auvray whose was let go by the Red Bulls.

plenty of former players are available, including Adam, Cristman, Taylor Graham, Frankie Hejduk,
Jonathan Leathers, Rauwshan McKenzie, Kurt Morsink, Ryan Pore, and Scott Sealy.
Here's your former SKC Wizards update for this week. Lots of news, including 6 new former Wizards.
Jeferson, Scott Lorenz, Craig Rocastle, Seth Sinovic, Ryan Smith, and Milos Stojcev are all now
classified officially as former Wizards. Also in the news is the movement of Tyson Wahl, who was
traded from Seattle to Montreal for allocation money.
This week's former SKC Wizards is up for you. A couple former Wizards could be on the move. Sunil
Chhetri is apparently getting ready to go on trial with Scottish club Rangers. Chhetri's had trials
in England previously, but had been unable to earn a work permit. Not sure how that will change
this time.

Another week of former SKC Wizards updates. Nick Cardenas is still getting looks from the Sporting
KC coaching staff and I'd expect him to be invited to preseason this coming year. Two other former
Wizards have taken coaching jobs under Jesse Marsch with the Montreal Impact. Preston Burpo has
been named the team's goalkeeper coach, while Mike Sorber has joined as an assistant coach.
For the six months, the NASL marveled at FC Edmonton's discipline, maturity and ability to grind
out results.
Well so much for that.
The expansion side showed their youth and inexperience in a 5-0 loss to the Fort Lauderdale
Strikers during the quarterfinals of the NASL playoffs.
What a great night at Lockhart Stadium this Saturday when the Strikers defeated FC Edmonton 5-0
thanks to a hat trick by Abe Thompson and a brace by Brian Shriver. The team played inspired
football and gave South Florida a true show that we hope we can see again next week as the playoffs
continue.
The Strikers will face the Puerto Rico Islanders this coming Saturday in the first of 2 games to
determine who advances to the NASL Finals.

Stephane Auvray - New York - No game this week.
All eight NASL teams were in action Saturday night. The two Florida franchises had big nights,
as the Fort Lauderdale Strikers pinned a rare loss on the Carolina RailHawks at Lockhart Stadium
while FC Tampa Bay won 4-0 in Atlanta over the Silverbacks. Saturday's other two matches were also
won by the visiting team, as the NSC Minnesota Stars hung another loss on the Montreal Impact at
Saputo Stadium and the Puerto Rico Islanders rebounded from their CONCACAF Champions League
elimination by eking out a 1-0 victory in Edmonton.

Here is this week's Sporting KC Wizards update. Lots of European teams seasons are starting to kick
off. In other news, Eddie Johnson is still looking for a club, but he's in the news as part of a
domestic dispute with his wife. It appears his wife may have caught the former Wizard and Fulham
forward cheating on her.

The Carolina Railhawks will have to wait another week to wrap up their playoff spot.
After a 1-0 victory over the Atlanta Railhawks, Carolina needed only for Montreal to lose or
draw against the Puerto Rico Islanders to assure themselves a postseason berth, but the Impact came
out with a surprising 1-0 victory of their own.
Two NASL matches were played Wednesday evening, with both matches, Montreal Fort Lauderdale and
FC Edmonton Carolina RailHawks, ending in 1-1 draws.

This season certainly isn't going as scripted for the Montreal Impact.

Jimmy Conrad - Chivas USA - Did not dress in Chivas' 1-1 draw with KC.
NASL Week 14 consisted of two reversals of fortune, as NSC Minnesota beat the Carolina RailHawks
1-0 Saturday to break Carolina's 13 game unbeaten streak, while the Atlanta Silverbacks got only
their second win of the season, holding on for a 3-2 victory in Fort Lauderdale over the
Strikers.

On Wednesday evening, the long-awaited first installment of the new NASL Florida derby kicked
off, as the Fort Lauderdale Strikers hosted FC Tampa Bay. Both teams came away with a point in a
1-1 tie. In Montreal, interim Coach Nick De Santis, replacing Marc Dos Santos after his
resignation earlier this week, guided the Impact to a scoreless draw with the 2010 D2 champion
Puerto Rico Islanders.
