UNION SC vs GATEWAY UTD
The only match-up in week one that features two senior BSL clubs facing off against each other. The Saints have an agressive ownership group hell bent on winning. Don't be fooled by the recent press coming out of the camp that the club has been humbled. An opening day win could light fireworks and smack talk all over again. The Blues need to win these type of games to have any chance of repeating as BSL Champions. Union SC is 1-1 on opening day all-time. Gateway is also 1-1 on opening day all-time.

PENNSYLVANIA vs GOLD COAST
The Suns revamped a Majors Cup Championship squad from top to bottom. This will be the first opportunity to see if it was a good decision. They will face the expansion Stoners filled with Philly Union players and guys with Philly afflilation. Gold Coast is 1-0 all-time on opening day.

BURUD TOWN vs ALLIANCE FC
The Stags had a good draft and will look to improve on a Semi-Final playoff appearance. However, 2010 was a very streaky season. Wins and losses came in bunches. Because of that the owner made big moves in the trade and transfer market last year to help to create success. What is up the sleeves for this club this year. Alliance FC has been active and knowledgeable and has stated aspirations to win right away. Should be a good first game. Burud Town is 0-0-1 on opening day all-time.
_______________________________
CAPITAL DISTRICT vs SECOND CITY
The Gunners have the youngest roster in the league. Will all that youth require time to mature? The owner knows how to win and has a Honors Trophy to prove he knows how to judge talent, so the benefit of the doubt goes to him for now. Second City had a good draft for an expansion club and could pose a lot of problems for all their opponents all season long. Expect this game to go the distant. Capital District is 1-1 on opening day all-time.

ALAMO CITY vs HILLCREST UTD
This could be the first blow out of the season. The Battle are poised for a return to the playoffs with the highest payroll in the BSL and the owner has built a reputation of knowing how to succeed in this league. The name may be different, but that Mongomery County Championship is the same club. Meanwhile Hillcrest United had a questionable draft. The league wishes success to all its clubs and a fun experience, but the Rainbows could have their work cut out for them. Is there an upset in the future? Alamo City is 1-1 all-time on opening day.
season starts in 15 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWeek 1 hasn't even started and Alamo is already in trouble.
ReplyDeleteshowtime!!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck everyone.
ReplyDeleteSaints release Evans (SEA), sign Eric Friberg (SEA)
ReplyDeleteIncase anyone wants to know. Saunders WOULD HAVE been the first BSL keeper to score 2 points in a game. He had a clean sheet and 5 saves. Keller in return had 1 save and gave up a goal = 0 points.
ReplyDeleteCapital District releases Anthony Ampaipitakwong (SJ) and signs Simon Dawkins (SJ)
ReplyDeleteSecond City made the request via email at 2:52pm. I was real busy at work and was unable to update. sorry.
ReplyDeleteCORRECTION:
ReplyDeleteThe Alliance/Folan transaction has been deleted. He was already drafted in the 4th round by Alamo.
Wouldnt he have 24 hrs to battle it out with Dawkins? I know that technically nobody has any points to separate dropped players...
ReplyDeleteDawkins was on the roster for preseason and was signed to a 1 year loan. He's more in the "Trialist" section of the rules like Folan was. Bidding wars are for transfers that have not put on an MLS uniform.
ReplyDeleteWay to go Commish, leaking our team's big announcement.
