An exciting pre-quarter finals game between Bosnia and Somalia
Bravo to the organizers of World Refugee Day here in Syracuse. This year organizers moved the event to Schiller Park and added a dimension of excitement with a soccer tournament featuring teams from countries represented in the city.
The tournament was the perfect addition to the event, and the idea was also ripe for a city under the spell of FIFA’s World Cup first round action.
Many of the games were decided by sudden death shoot outs
Early round match between Liberia and Burundi was all about speed.

Millwood on the attack (from 2003) during a Salty Dogs game at Liverpool Stadium.
The Syracuse Silver Knights announced today that former Syracuse Salty Dog and Baltimore Blast player and champion Machel Millwood will be joining their squad, and re-uniting with former teammate and now coach Tommy Tanner. Millwood was a crowd favorite when he kicked off his pro career with the Salty Dogs a decade ago. He is best remembered for his hustle and heavy footed, thunderous shots on goal.
Hopefully, the younger players on the squad will glean from Millwood’s championship experience.
