To say it was hot this morning is not really doing the temperature justice. The humidity alone made this one of the hottest days we've had. Enough that even Schellas told us he stopped practice a bit short. The team started off training on the Dr. Pink field, which has the same field turf surface as we'll be playing on in Toronto on Sunday. After about 45 minutes, they moved back over to the adidas Field for another 45 minutes.
Before practice started, we found out that Duilio sustained an avulsion fracture of the big toe on his left foot. This happened toward the end of Thursday's practice, and x-rays this morning confirmed it. He'll be out, at the minimum, for Sunday's game, and likely longer. During the practice, Bobby Rhine rolled the same left ankle he's been recovering from. He's also out for Sunday.
Trialist Assan Jatta's trial is over. He was not here today.
Jamie Watson's week turned out very positive him - he was offered and accepted a contract following practice. He'll be joining the 28-man roster.

Great info. Keep the updates coming please. Go FCD, good luck against Toronto.
congrats for Jamie Watson... this kid has been around FCD for a while trying to get on, right?
too bad for Davino.... don't think it will impact much with him gone, will it?
maybe we get to see andre daniels. schellas has been putting a lot of young guys in...might as well add him to the mix.
off topic: why would fcd not put a canopy to protect the fans during games in the summer? was it not so obvious to add that to the construction request...especially when they play games mid-afternoon
Heard Watson played well and looked to be fit in the reserve game Monday...
What about Bryant Rueckner? Anybody know anything more about him?
3nout - the original plan for the stadium had a roof on it. But according the FCD officials at the time, they had to take the roof off the plans for budgetary reasons.
We got a stage instead of a roof. A stage brings in money a roof does not.
A roof definitely will bring in money. A roof will bring more people because they'll have shade to sit in instead of baking in the summer Texas sun. And people who come to one game, get scorched, may never come back. So you could be losing money without the roof.
