    Kelyn Acosta is so out of shape that not only did he not make the squad for Pogon's first post winter break matchup, but he is not even training with the team. He is training individually so that he can get his fitness levels up to a point where he can match the intensity needed to train with the team.

    He is rich.

    He has made a few teams (including the Fire) some damn nice transfer fees!

    He has managed to see more of the world than most people.

    Pretty good for a 22 year old who does not really seem to like his chosen profession.

    There is a Jhon Duran thread in the Colombian forum which I have been following a bit over the past couple of years.
    They have turned on him lately.

    That's a bummer. The turning on him point, that is. I think it's kinda cool you follow other threads. I'm too lazy to find the ones I might enjoy.

    I can see obviously why he would go to the (Sucky) EPL and I can also see why he would suddenly follow the life changing money to the Saudi league but after doing a little time there and getting the financial boulder over the hill to where a fella doesn't have to worry about starving to death I would have for sure settled in with a club in a location I wanted to be in. I guess he's just a rolling stone and I wouldn't want him in my locker room from everything I've seen.

    Well, be fair. One of the two was 'mighty' Tom Barlow, so more like 1 1/4 forwards!

    Acosta picked up a red card late in his game today and will miss at least two matches, maybe more.

    I don't think his move to Poland will enhance his chances of making the World Cup squad this year as he had hoped in an interview with him I read last month. :eek:

    QUINCY TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    AV ALTA FC 0 – 1 Valley 559 FC
    Fresno, Calif.-based UPSL side Valley 559 FC secured a stunning upset against USL League One professionals AV ALTA FC, joining Asheville City SC as the only other side to down professional clubs on the second day of the First Round. The first-ever matchup between the pair of California foes was largely even throughout the contest, though the difference came from the most unlikely of sources. 38-year-old and former MLS Cup champion Quincy Amarikwa secured the upset victory with a diving header at the far post to seal Valley 559 FC’s first Open Cup victory.

    McKinney Chupacabras
    • We are proud to announce the appointment of Frank Yallop as Head Coach of McKinney Chupacabras FC ahead of the upcoming United Soccer League (USL) Two season.

      Frank brings one of the most accomplished coaching résumés in North American soccer. A two-time Major League Soccer Cup–winning head coach and two-time MLS Coach of the Year, he led the San Jose Earthquakes Soccer to championships and later coached the LA Galaxy, working with global superstar David Beckham. He also served as Head Coach of the Canada men's national soccer team and most recently was Sporting Director and Head Coach at Monterey Bay Football Club.

      Owner Michael Hitchcock said the appointment reflects the club’s ambition and commitment to growing the game in the region:
      “What a special day for McKinney Chupacabras FC and soccer in our community. We’re thrilled to welcome one of the most accomplished coaches in Major League Soccer history to the city of McKinney. Frank Yallop is an MLS pioneer, and his experience will play a critical role as we continue building the Chupacabras in our second USL League Two season.”

      Sporting Director Ed Puskarich added, “Frank’s professional success speaks for itself, but beyond his achievements on the field, he is an even better person off it. We believe this announcement will send shockwaves through U.S. soccer and shows the ambition of what we are building here in McKinney.”

      Yallop said the club’s momentum and vision made the opportunity appealing: “The club already has tremendous fan support, and the work Michael Hitchcock, Ed Puskarich, and the entire staff have done in such a short time is impressive. I’m looking forward to joining the club and building an exciting 2026 season.”

      The remainder of the McKinney Chupacabras FC 2026 coaching staff will be announced soon, with the 2026 season kicking off at Ron Poe Stadium on May 16.
     
  23. Potato skin must have wisely left out his time with the Fire on the job application.
