In all of today’s excitement over the Netherlands-Uruguay semi-final at the World Cup, let’s talk local soccer.
FC Edmonton is back on the pitch tonight, taking on one of Canada’s stronger teams, the Ottawa Fury.
FC is in the midst of exhibition games and friendlies, while the Fury is trying to lock-up the Northeast Division of the United Soccer League’s (USL) Premier Development League for the second year in a row.
Here’s hoping some of this World Cup excitement spills over to Foote Field tonight (7:35), and for the rest of this summer’s practice season. That way the team is all confident for the real season in 2011 and gives us a show.
