Union highlights: Bedoya claims the Supporters' Shield for Union

Press conference: Jim Curtin
Union head coach Jim Curtin speaks with reporters after the Union's 2-0 victory over New England to claim the Supporters' Shield.
This is exciting. In a non-sexual way, I mean.
Nice! Great Pics! I hope to make it over there on Friday 🙂
I spy, with my little eye, something (Jeremiah) White. Curious who “dreads” is. And no Knighton, nor Coudet, but a keeper on trial (Holder).
Is that White in picture with Sheanon Williams and the group shot with Le Toux and Pfeffer? I kept looking at those pictures but the lightbulb refused to go off in my head. It’s driving me nuts who the dreadlock guy might be – Nicolae said he looked very good. Knighton and Coudet may have been there but just weren’t in the photo’s Nicolae sent me to select from for the essay. I’ll try to find out.
Yeah, in that pic L to R is … Zimmerman, Jacobson, Pfeffer, Le Toux, Marcin, White. I did some digging and think that dreadlocks may be Brian Ombiji from the Harrisburg City Islanders. http://i51.tinypic.com/2q9w2mu.jpg I think, of the 2010 rostered players, Coudet and Knighton are the only MIAs.
Nicolae confirms that Knighton and Coudet were not at Monday’s training session.
anyone else think that califfs hair needs to get cut or styled a diff way… he looks like elvis.
Bring back the ‘hawk!
Ahhh, these pictures warm me up after the biting cold and snow we’ve endured so far this winter. Can’t wait to bask in the sunshine at PPL and have a good Doop or two or three!
I think the trialist you think is jermiah white might be chris aggossor? He played at UVa then went overseas on trials but not sure if he got picked up. Great player.
Which picture? The one with Le Toux, et al, seems to clearly be him?
No the one where sheanon williams is marking him, I think that is chris agorsor…. you are correct about the le toux picture, that is certainly jermiah white.
Gotcha – thanks, Joe.
