Hello, all!
After a longer hiatus than I had intended, the Fort is back in business! The off-week was a time I really thought I was going to do a color piece on a couple of Revs, and maybe a bit on the MLS, but that was going to be a pretty bad idea just because I had so much work and, well...frankly, it wouldn't have been all that interesting.
That aside, the Revs take on the Carolina Railhawks just a few minutes away from me tonight. Hopefully the boys are rested and ready to play a tough game, the Railhawks aren't such a bad team. They have performed very well against the MLS team they faced in the Open Cup (Chicago), and the Revs need to be ready for a scrap if they want to win.
Out of the Revs' office came a press release about signing a Gambian U-20 national player during the off-week. He seems to have the skills to be able to play in MLS, but who knows whether this international signing will be good (a la Shalrie) or bad (Khano Smith). It has been pretty spotty in the past with internationals playing for the Revs, but who knows, this one may just work out in Nicol's favor.
One international that the Revs will not sign is Dusan Petkovic, the Boston Globe confirmed today. It seems that being rusty and old has an effect on your chances of playing in the MLS, surprise. It wasn't too long ago that MLS teams were signing washouts left and right (Jose Manuel Abundis). Glad to see that Nicol is making sure the Revs stay at the top of their game, and not just signing internationals because the rest of the world thinks that Americans play bad soccer.
And as for Deuce, he played a fantastic game for Fulham against Tottenham. So good, he has FOX Sports raving about him.
Yep. Fantastic...
Good day, you all.
