I know this is not MLS news, but first year FC Edmonton is in 2nd place in the NASL. They tied the first place team, Carolina, 1-1 last night. Carolina has won 12 of their 16 games this year, which is insane.

FC Edmonton has 21 Canadian players on the roster, and is really the only Canadian professional team largely filled with Canadians. For comparison, Vancouver has 2, Toronto has 10, and Montreal has 7. I think this is a team to get behind, and with good support, maybe it will lead to Calgary getting a team?

I feel a little dirty cheering for an Edmonton team though.
