Nice shot with the left peg. Those Futsal skills on display a couple of times, incl leadup to his goal.

Playing on artificial turf with all those American Football markings, must be a distraction.

The USL regular season finishes 15th October, so I presume finals (note 16 teams in total make the USL playoffs) wouldn't finish until mid November.

So I imagine my left field suggestion of Nix getting Collier and/or Bevan in on loan until January 2019, just couldn't happen.

I'm surprised they're allowed to play on that surface. OMG it looks so bad!I've played on a few artificial, must-sport pitches before but that's just next level!

Not in match day squad for Chicago's first MLS game verus LA Galaxy.

I presume Chicago have strengthed their squad after struggling in 2018. Nemanja Nikolić, who scored 15 goals last season is only on the bench.

Interesting that Dave Ousted, who was pushed out of Vancouver by Marinovic a few seasons back is now in goal at Chicago.
Collier might end up playing in the USL (starts next weekend) mostly this season.

Saw a tweet the other day suggesting that he was gonna be loaned out somewhere so they would have a compliant roster as they had too many visas on their books.

From Flying Kiwis. I presume they mean Memphis 901 who play in the USL Eastern Conference.

Source tells me that the Fire will loan Elliott Collier to Memphis and Raheem Edwards to Lansing to become compliant in regards to international spots.

Mazy run, nice strike, but looks like went through keeper's legs??

Mods suggest either update his club to Chicago Fire (is on loan), or Memphis 901 (where's likely to spend all of this season).
