Message: [QUOTE="kibblesnbits, post: 3672877, member: 97"] Athletic has another big game this weekend at Pittsburgh. The USL Championship is a strange league - combining reserve teams of 16-25 year olds (essentially minor league teams for MLS) and independent teams of mostly 22-30+ year olds like Hartford. Hartford Athletic is 6-0-1 against reserve clubs and has been soundly beaten in its two games against independents - Indy and Pittsburgh. Frankly they are probably not as good as that 6-0-1 indicates but they are also better than the 0-2 record. In both games they played fairly well before late goals gave an exaggerated final score. If Athletic wants to be perceived as a real competitor at the top of the league they need games like this one. [/QUOTE]
