In this weird crossover of two of my soccer worlds (Monterey Bay FC and Portland-area soccer), Deportivo Rose City (Portland, OR) is playing against Next Level Soccer (Gilbert, AZ) at Cardinale Stadium on Saturday, July 25th!

If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I never stop talking about the crest I designed for Deportivo Rose City in 2022 and all their on-field success since then. They're currently the top UPSL team from the Pacific Northwest (after having beaten Bellevue Athletic from Washington state), and this is a chance for y'all to see my crest design in action! :)

(Sadly, I won't be able to attend this playoff game at Cardinale, but I did catch one of their season games in Oregon earlier this year!)

Previous post seemed to have something wrong with the link, as there should never be any restrictions to being able to access. Apologies.

Fidel Barajas was seen backtracking on the loan agreement post-game /sarcasm

What are your thoughts on the loan announcement at halftime?

For those that can make it live, enjoy!

As far as I can tell, this match will not be livestreamed.

For those out of the Quakes II loop, the team ended their tenure as The Town FC (based in Moraga) and has been playing primarily ouside of SJ this season. They've been playing at University of San Francisco's Negoesco Stadium and now Cardinale for at least two (potentially 3?) matches this month.

Confirmed matches:

• Tuesday, July 7th vs SKC II - Source

Saturday, July 18th vs North Texas SC - Source

Unconfirmed match:

• Sunday, July 12th

Quakes II don't have their home venue listed for any other matches this season, so there is a chance they could visit again in the future.

Happy 4th everyone!

That's the season folks, tough loss but an amazing overall performance from the Sirens.
