Even though FC Fargo never joined NPSL or PDL (the two open division leagues in which automatic qualification to the US Open Cup is secured through league position), the club attracted a remarkably similar pool of players as Fusion currently do. The Beljulji brothers, (Big) Ben Eastwell, (Saint) George Gauld, Stephen Harris, Jade Johnson, Fiaz Musa and Miah Wills all played for Fusion in their #USOC2018 loss to Duluth and played for FC Fargo. The Beljuljis live in Moorhead, Jade went to West Fargo High (as did Akeem Smith). George Gauld is a coach at WFHS. Jacob Weiler went to Fargo South before D1 soccer in Omaha (ironically the Summit League where NDSU are otherwise, but not in Mens soccer, members) Ben, George, Jade and Steve went to University of Jamestown (along with a bunch of other connections to the Buffalo City). Joel McIlroy went to Mary in Bismarck. This club, which revels in the slogan "a Fusion of cultures", seems to have built a roster which echoes footy&#
