Puertorican soccer - partII

Here's the problem...

1. Islanders have the territorial rights for Bayamon, so basically Bayamon FC have to find somewhere else to play, unless they can come to some sort of agreement with the Islanders that would allow them to play in Bayamon.

2. Islanders will be playing in the PRSL, because CFU have said that they need to play the local league otherwise they can't participate in the Champions Cup, reason why Islanders have the territorial rights in the PRSL.

 

As to #1, I'm sure something can be worked out because sort far they have been able to co-exist. Surely the FPF and PRSL see they are better off having them both playing were they are, as long as it is believed the city can support the both of them.

As to #2, this is the first I've heard of it but I figured sooner or later the Islanders would be playing in the PRSL. It just makes sense that CCC/CFU would eventually say you have a league sanctioned in your home country so you should have to play in that league. But the Islanders committed a few months ago to playing in the NASL which I don't get because the cost involved in flying around North America with little profit to be gained has got to be worst then the lack of revenue to be had playing in PRSL.

 

They'll be playing both leagues, just as River and Sevilla will be playing the PRSL and USLPro

 

Hi everyone. I notice yesterday days ago, that the PRSL web is already working. Of course, some parts are still under construction, but at least, there is a schedule.

Article on the official Sevilla FC (Spain) website regarding Sevilla FC PR joining the USL:

I thought the Islanders already played in the PRSL with there Reserve Team/ Islanders B. I thought you meant that the CFU was saying they could not place any team in USL/NASL (to be clear they committed to playing in NASL). I hadn't even of Sevilla and River Plate joing USL. Its been informative I'll have to do a better job in keeping up with the teams down there but it should get easier with them joing USL.

 

The Islanders beat Vancouver on semifinals 2 -0 by Nicholas Addlery, both goals on 2nd extra time, we face now Carolina Railhawks on finals.

 

How are the Puerto Rico coach and a few players of going to handle the match congestion? Between the islanders in the USL championship, conca champions and carribean tournament its going to be a busy couple of weeks.

 

Puerto Rico climb 41 positions on the FIFA ranking, from 170 to 129 with only two games played from three (Saint Martin isn't a FIFA member), and winning all the 3 games on the beginning of this month, since 2008.

 

What about the players are they going to play for the Islanders or national team? Seems like a good group Puerto Rico is in, are they calling in all their top guys?

 

oops sorry missed that only caught the coaching part.

 

Great news. If only the NT would continue to be alive over the next couple of years, and not only play during mandatory tournaments.

 

I agreed, and thats why I'm upset with the Federación Puertorriqueña de Fútbol.

 

Guadeloupe - Puerto Rico 3-2

Guatemala might play PR in a FIFA friendly match

 

St Kitts/Nevis - Puerto Rico 1-0 FT

 

0-3-0 for Puerto Rico. It was pathetic and the excuses some may have some sense but the rest is just excuses by the Federation President. And always Puerto Rico gets the crapper. Now let's see how many more years it will take for the National Team to be active again.

 

Maybe we need to wait 2 more years LOL

 

The NT will participate in 2 years because that's when the 2014 WC Qualifiers start.
