Does anyone know what is going on with the Norfolk SharX? As of now, their website roster only shows three players.
They have a little over 12 days before their first game and only have signed three players. Yet they were the first team to join the USL. It's crazy. However, I did hear they plan on signing a lot of players from tryouts, so maybe they have fielded a team already that is starting to practice and they're just waiting to announce the players.
I'm sure the bulk of their roster has been decided, but it would be funny if they practiced with only three players
Up to 11 players now: Alves, Marcello 5' 11" 177 7/28/1983 Virginia Beach Piranhas Brooks, Gary 8/5/1980 Bryant, Brady 6' 0" 175 2/13/1982 Charlotte Eagles Clare, Matthew 5/25/1988 Delicate, Matthew 2/7/1982 Richmond Kickers Ferrer, Miguel 5' 10" 160 3/28/1987 Charlotte Eagles Gunderson, James 10/4/1987 Lewis, Cecil 2/3/1981 Lieberman, Jamie 7/25/1987 Massie, Brandon 5' 9" 164 10/27/1987 Virginia Wesleyan College Sowell, Brian 6' 3" 200 1/19/1989 Richmond Kickers This team plays in Milwaukee in 11 days. Could be a PASL Cincy vs Milwaukee score
I saw a roster with 15 players. Is Gary Brooks the only one that's ever played indoor professionally?
Brooks is a solid player. Wish we had him. He'll be solid as long as he is healthy. Sees as iff Norfolk will be the weak team this year.
I believe Leiberman has experience as well, in Milwaukee. He was on the Futsal Pool team a couple weeks ago.
Yeah Jamie Lieberman played for the wave reserves and trained with the first team everyday. He won a couple state championships in High School with Racine Prairie and played at UW-Parkside. Was the MVP for the President's Cup in Madison, Wi. Very solid goalkeeper, should do well for the sharx, and according to pointstreak, the official stats site, here is the roster for the Norfolk Sharx. 1. Jamie Lieberman-GK 2. Marcos Schmidt 3. Tennant McVea 4.Thiago Cambium 5. Marcello Alves 6. Gary Brooks 7. Brady Bryant 8. Matt Clare 9. Matthew Delicate 10. Gersen Dos Santos 11. Miguel Ferrer 12. James Gunderson 13. Cecil Lewis 14. Brandon Massie 15. Brian Sowell-GK 16. William Yomby 17. Jefferson Brandao de Oliveira
sounds like the Monterrey La Raza story. Start a team with all outdoor players and hope for the best.
