Takayuki Suzuki gets some love on ESPN’s Soccernet
By: Bob Kellett | April 7th, 2008
It is a rare moment when the USL First Division gets a mention on ESPN’s Soccernet and an even rarer moment when that mention is not simply a reprinting of a wire story. Anne Ramzy, who used to pilot The Offside’s California Victory blog and is a contributor to The Offside’s podcast each week, writes about the state of the league heading into the opening match this weekend. She points to our very own Takayuki Suzuki as being one of the players to watch. Portland Timbers boss Gavin Wilkinson also gets a mention.
Looking at some of the players that have been signed by the Timbers and the rest of the USL-1 teams this offseason, I can’t help but think that the level of play is continuing to improve every year. I’m not sure if that will continue to be the case when MLS eventually expands to 18 or 20 teams. Those MLS teams are going to need some bodies, particularly guys who are young and willing to work for slave’s wages. In other words, most players in USL-1.
