3 weeks ago

Not sure the scorer was onside, but a lovely weighted pass from Raimbault.
He has 1 goal and 2 assists in 5 league games. His team Carolina Core look pretty shit though, bottom of their division.

Putt possibly with an outside shot to stay on in California for the next couple of days with the first team playing Sacramento Republic in the US Open Cup on Wednesday. MLS clubs routinely opt to heavily rotate their squads in that competition, so he's a chance.

Been a good opening 45 from him today too. The commentator has been highlighting his ability to get into threatening positions in the final ⅓ and his general willingness to take on his opponent.

He did find himself through on goal straight up the middle of the park on one occasion too, only for the ref to blow the whistle a little too early for a foul on the lad who played the ball in, when playing advantage might have been the better call...

Putt a full game in a 1-0 loss for Minnesota II

Wednesday
US Open Cup R32 (MLS teams entry point)

Louisville City host MLS's Austin FC

Boxy's (and Putt's) Minnesota travel to USL outfit Sacramento Republic
https://us.soccerway.com/game/minnesota-united-zXFxsw2a/sacramento-republic-z3BFwb83/?mid=O4DKVij2

Of the 27 American clubs in Major League Soccer, only 16 will participate, being the MLS teams that did not qualify for either the 2026 CONCACAF Champions Cup or 2026 Leagues Cup. Being the only Division 1 league, all eligible MLS teams will enter in the round of 32 (third round).

Full 90 for Kyle Adams as Louisville City upset MLS side Austin FC and move on to the round of 16.

US Open Cup - Minny beat Sacramento 1-0. No Boxy or Putt.

Tomorrow

Minny II travel to Colorado Rapids II

Carolina Core travel to Orlando City B

No Troy Putt for Minny II. 
He might be training with the first team squad who have a midweek MLS match at Dallas. MLS schedules pretty congested this year, as they try to cram in games before the World Cup. Lots of midweek fixtures.

Raimbault starting for Carolina Core who trail 2-0, late first half.

Raimbault picks up another assist in a 2-2 draw.  Bit generous to call this one an assist. 

Carolina Core lose the pen shootout (6-5) that follows. Riambault not required from the spot.

MLS Pro is effectively only a youth league, but Raimbault has 3 assists and 1 goal in 6 matches.

One to keep an eye on. He'd be the perfect sort of guy to be part of a Nix OFC Pro League team in 2027 if one happens, carrot of a potential ALM deal.

USL Cup (Championship & League One teams combined crossover)

Carolina Core travel to Huntsville City (MLS Nashville's reserve team)

https://us.soccerway.com/game/carolina-core-YZ1VZCt1/huntsville-city-rF836AW2/?mid=GIsr1SxA

Raimbault starts for Carolina Core.

No confirmed signing as yet, but Brendan Schneider looks to be trialling with the USL Championship side Tampa Bay Rowdies.

Spent last season at Zurrieq FC in Malta (mostly turning out for U21 side) and prior to that was at Island Bay United in the Central League.

Don't know much about him tbh. Some sites have him as Kiwi, and others list him as German. So I'm guessing he's somewhere in between, or he possibly holds dual nationality?

Steve Coleman still coaching at Tampa Bay?

Unfortunately not. He was on the books at Tampa until the end of the last USL season, but from memory they named a permanent coach about midway through the 2025 USL season. 

Last time I talked to him he was finishing up stateside and was moving up to Canada. No details on what he had lined up next though sorry.
