So, at least for Fusion, the season is over. For men and women.
No repeat of the Robbins era NPSL playoff run. No Hartley era winless WPSL season.
As it happens, Fire and Ice are repping the Central region in WPSL and Minneapolis will play Detroit in the Midwest regional semis (The other side is a farce between Rochester and Ann Arbor)
Is it wrong to feel relieved that the season is over? The league seasons are a launching pad of emotion crammed into a couple of months.
We tried our best but we couldn't get a consistent streaming offering when it comes to announcing. The highlight was two energetic (but unknown to me) kids doing that role up in the press box - but only for one game.
My aim is to get that more often but people need to be geeks enough that they don't mind being unpaid.
On the field highlights include a first win and a first home win in WPSL and a 4-4 game in Sioux Falls in NPSL.
Fun was also to be had reporting on Fusion for E Pluribus Loonum, a self-consciously fan driven site. They are good people and I enjoy being part of both the Local Soccer section and the Minnesota newsroom Slack (even though I'm a Whitecaps fan)
If anyone is interested in writing about Fusion, let me know.
That's about it for me for now. Thanks for reading.
