I think they lead MLS in young players having "good weeks of training" and "narrowly missing making the 18."
Both Servania and Ferreira started for Tulsa last night in their 2-1 win over the Switchbacks. Servania played the entire match and Ferreira was subbed out in extra time. That might be the longest Ferreira has played in a pro game. We are about 45 mins from kickoff tonight as we take on @SwitchbacksFC! Here's tonight's Starting XI. #VamosTulsa #TULvCOS pic.twitter.com/VPLoQcECdH— FC Tulsa (@FCTulsa) August 11, 2018 Mason Toye in the XI for the switchbacks, and he was subbed out in the 72nd minute.

I watched the first 10 minutes or so. Ferreira looked great, and had a goal called back (for a teammate being offside, which was close) and what should have been a nice assist when he put a teammate in alone on the goalkeeper. By far the most impactful I've seen him with Tulsa.
Inbox: TAMPA, Fla. – USL Division III officially provided sanctioning paperwork to the U.S. Soccer Federation on Tuesday, with at least 10 founding members set to compete in the inaugural 2019 season. South Georgia Tormenta FC, FC Tucson, Greenville Triumph SC, Madison Pro Soccer, Toronto FC II and Chattanooga Pro Soccer have already been revealed as founding members of the new professional league, and official announcements of the remaining teams will be made in the weeks ahead.
Sands on loan to Louisville City. Of course, their manager is now John Hackworth who knows Sands very well. The only tricky thing is that Louisville is quite good at the USL level. I don't know their squad, so I can't ascertain how easy it will be for him to win minutes. #LouCity is excited to announce the loan signing of James Sands from @NYCFC! Welcome, @jamessands_16! 👏📰 https://t.co/Lh6oElXr00 pic.twitter.com/ks5AEn4KZm— Louisville City FC (@loucityfc) August 15, 2018
Probably won't be too easy when he's only there for two weeks. I highly doubt they plan on playing him when he comes back, so why don't they just leave him with Louisville for the rest of the year?
NYCFC has the same problem that Atlanta and Dallas have. Its just not considered as big of a problem because their players aren't as highly rated. Lewis has been treated terribly all season, and they've forgot about Sands development (until 5+ months into the season). Scally also made a bad decision to sign with NYCFC. Scally is the caliber of player who should start getting MLS minutes next season. What are the chances that happens? Very unlikely.
Several, if not most, of the MLS reserve teams should eventually join the DIII league - they just don’t know it yet. At some point, when the DIII league has many more clubs and is much cheaper to play in, it will be more obvious.
Ocampo-Chavez and Gonzales start, Atencio, Fowler, and Rogers on the bench - Here is your S2 starting XI for #PORvSEA! Kick-off is in 1⃣ hour. Plenty of talent all over the pitch for our Cascadia clash! pic.twitter.com/bbc8gs1fj0— Tacoma Defiance (@TACdefiance) August 20, 2018
SPR started the triple-YNT-eligible midfield of Kuzain, Busio, and Hernandez. Lindsey started at RB as well.
That's only the half of it! Castro, Hinds, Brisco, Kingston, and Hopeau are also YNT-eligible starters. So that's 7 YNT-eligible starters with 3/5 bench players YNT-eligible as well.
Peter Kingston is an '01 who has been with Seattle's U17 team. Is he someone we should be looking out for? S2 gave a decent number of minutes to Teves and Martin, but they are off to the NCAA now I think.
'02 76' Atencio!!! The 17-year-old starts the play by winning back possession and finishes it off with a Cruyff turn and a goal! Fantastic debut for the @SoundersAcademy midfielder.3-1 #PORvSEA pic.twitter.com/cKh45LVHXS— Tacoma Defiance (@TACdefiance) August 20, 2018
US Soccer presumably watched him play at the academy playoffs, and didn't think he was worth getting called into the recent U-17 call up in Costa Rica. Huge omission from that team. He's a starter for the U-17's on merit, IMO.
That's a good catch. He's not listed on Washington's roster. (Neither is former YNT player Elijah Rice, a 98 who should be a Jr. this fall.) Maybe Fowler is gonna take a gap year with the academy and matriculate next year. Wouldn't be the first time that happened with the Huskies. I believe Blake Bodily (also a 98 who got some YNT looks) did that two years ago and spent an extra season with the Timbers academy.
very blessed & excited to have signed with @loucityfc.. excited to get going with such a great team. thanking the Lord for this #LouCity 😈😈😈 https://t.co/pTTtMNrnvR— j (@jcarranza10_) August 20, 2018
16-year-old Sounders Academy center mid Josh Atencio made his S2 debut last night. I'll have more on this in an article tomorrow, but he was great in a 25 minute cameo. Tallied one goal, one key pass, two dribbles and two defensive recoveries.Here are some of his best plays. pic.twitter.com/hKL8gXQBNo— Joseph Mondello (@JoeMondelloFC) August 21, 2018
Hopefully not too bad. Chris Goslin was also injured in training—on Friday, I'm told—and his may be more serious. He'll be evaluated soon, and we'll know more later this week. It's another bad break in what has no doubt been a frustrating, injury-riddled season for Goslin.— Joe Patrick (@japatrick200) August 20, 2018

Inbox: TAMPA, Fla. – Rochester Stadium Operations, LLC, the operating company for Marina Auto Stadium and the Rochester Rhinos, today announced it has received approval from the United Soccer League (USL) to join USL Division III by the 2020 season and has begun to pursue a potential new stadium development in the region. In addition, the company announced it will vacate its current facility by year’s end. "After careful consideration and discussions with a number of our stadium partners and the United Soccer League, and after assessing the totality of our last three years as a tenant of the City of Rochester, we have determined that it is time for the Rochester Rhinos to move on from this venue," said Rochester Rhinos Co-Owners David and Wendy Dworkin. In November 2017, the Rhinos announced they would take a hiatus for the 2018 USL season after a campaign to rally local support failed to meet required objectives.
