    But they do have certain dialect that does have words unique to Jamaica, so "Xtabi" could be one of those. "Irie" is the most well known.

    My limited experience with them (Xtabi the club) is they play dirty (and start that young).

    My club once made an agreement with Xtabi for sending a reciprocal number of teams to each other’s tournaments. We sent ours and then....nothing.

    The “USL Championship” is the USA’s second division and is the top level of USL.

    The “USL League One” is the second level of USL and is the USA’s third division.

    And “USL League Two” (formerly the PDL) is the 3rd level of USL and the USA’s fourth division.

    Clear as mud?

    I think USL is trying to mimic England, with the 2nd division being called the Championship, the 3rd division being League One, and the 4th division being League Two. (MLS=Premier League; LOL).

    Tony Tchanis not exactly a superstar but I'm surprised he cant find a USL Championship team whose midfield could use a boss.

    Wasn't this set up also part of their plan to get recognized as a Division 1 league in USSF (next to MLS)?

    Hmmm.
    I hadn’t heard or read that.
    USL was competing with the NASL to be recognized as the division 2 league; USL won that by attrition.
    Perhaps @Bill Archer knows something about USL/USSF division 1.

    When my wife told me of this move (which she apparently learned of from Alex's Instagram) my response was something along the lines of "wow, that's huge for him!" She promptly asked why I thought so, since Birmingham isn't in a top flight league, and I nearly flew off the handle about how playing for a mid-tier Championship side would be a great opportunity - but instead I asked "You mean Birmingham City, right?"

    She did not mean Birmingham City, and I was suddenly disappointed for our guy Alex.

    Alex was pretty successful in his time on loan with Orange County. Even had 4 goals. Could see him dominating the league and becoming a stalwart defender there with one of the more ambitious clubs.

    That's at the 6th level--so semi-pro at best.

    For those who read the article and were wondering about the comment about the "breakfast egg"--the German breakfast tradition is a soft-boiled egg in an egg cup, with a special small egg spoon, which does take a bit to get the hang of.
