    I’m bummed that the Railhawks didn’t make it this year. I wanted to go.

    Watch out for the winner of Rochester-Charleston. I think the Islanders schedule of playing all these CONCACAF matches is about to catch up with them much like it has caught the MLS sides in the tournament.

    Wish my Railhawks could have pulled out and made the playoffs. At least we’ve held onto the Southern Derby trophy.
