Sporting KC playing this morning in New York but no Musa. Would probably still be winging back in from Honiara.

Shame missing a possible chance to come up against the legend Pirlo in midfield.

He just managed to re-enter the NT set-up and given his age and future opportunities I don't think he'll be too fussed IMO.

Appears to be back with feeder side Swope Park Rangers in the USL at the moment. 

Played for them as a DM a few days ago in a 5-2 win.

He was on the SKC bench the other day, so I guess they were just getting some game time in his legs.

Seems the MLS-affiliated USL teams don't play in the cup, so will just be not selected.

Sporting KC now have a knock out tie verus Houston on Wednesday or Thursday.

Musa could also be called up by his USL club Swope Park, who are still going in the USL post season - they knocked out Drogba's Phoenix on penalties over the weekend.

They play Sacramento next.

Melbourne City just signed an Aussie from the USL, when he starts playing we might get be able to judge it.

Musa’s now on a MLS contract anyway. USL definitely better than Handy Prem.

Feeder league to MSL, and features Didier Drogba at Phoenix Rising, Utah team!!

Many of USL teams have aspirations to join MSL as expansion teams.

NEWS: @NZ_Football International James Musa, formerly of @SwopeRangers and @SaintLouisFC, joins Phoenix Rising for the 2018 season.

Musa signs with the cool sounding Phoenix Rising FC. https://www.phxrisingfc.com/news_article/show/8925...

I'm an optimistic pessimist. 
I'm positive things will go wrong.

One of the favoured clubs for expansion into the MSL - hope it happens.

Cool to have Drogba as a team mate.

Good to see he's involved in a Phoenix set up again, sadly this one's half the world away...

Best of luck to him though, hope he puts in another solid season.
