Yeah they get Charleston Battery next. Pretty good for a "Beer League" team.

Where is that idiot anyways?

Charleston Battery struggled to get by their lower division opponent 1-0 with their opponent on a red card.

NPSL Jacksonville Armada eliminated USL Tampa Bay Rowdies. Beer League.

In a good way, right?

I dunno. Hartford City FC is the current NPSL team at CCSU. How does NASL add them knowing that USL is coming to the same market and will literally be in Hartford. I don't think having two Division II teams in the same market and one called Hartford City FC that doesn't play in Hartford is a great thing.

In theory it could be good for HCFC in the sense that they will lose the lower division NPSL stigma and in theory generate a larger budget to compete in the NASL which in theory could lead to a venue in Hartford. In theory, in theory, in theory.

In reality, idk how HCFC can afford to join the NASL at the current state of the club and it's financial situation.

HCFC starts the season 3-0! Defeated the Stockade of Kingston last night @CCSU. Goals by Grant 7', Morrison 64', Stezekwski 74'.

3rd goal in 2 games for Stezekswki and Morrison logged his 2nd goal of the season on a penalty kick.

Stezewski scored again, and Ryan Taylor scored his first of the year. Scary part is they're 4-0 and haven't gotten significant contributions from Alvaro (#17) or Taylor (#9) who led the way offensively last season. Stezekwsi has upped his game tremendously, he was good last year but he I'm pretty sure he's already eclipsed his goal total from 2017.

@ct06111 It holds around 1,200 actually. Should be a good crowd, but I doubt it's over capacity.
Given the ongoing further demise of the Cosmos' brand and the NPSL's overall level of play, more sort-of soccer fans may still appear versus more knowledgeable fans who may prefer to watch World Cup replays or otherwise stay home.

Clearly, many people that know anything about soccer give a crap about today's version of the Cosmos. :rolleyes: In contrast, people that don't know squat may still think there's something special about the Cosmos. Capiche?
