In the past six months, the Dayton Dutch Lions of the USL-Pro league and Toronto F.C. of MLS have become well-acquianted with one another. In fact, it could be said that Toronto F.C. may be enamored with the Dutch style.. And even that this fascination started with meeting the Dutch Lion owners, Dutch Lion Head Coach Sonny Silooy, and watching the Dutch Lions in July and culminated in signing a Head Coach/Technical Director in Aron Winter today who is not much different at all from Dutch Lions former Head Coach Sonny Silooy.
In the footie book The Rough Guide to Cult Football there contains different sections on the pecularities and legendary figures of the world's game. Well, one player that actually played against the Dayton Dutch Lions was included in this new book underneath The Legends section. That was German goalkeeper Lutz Pfannenstiel. Last April, The 37 year old Pfannenstiel took time off from his new Nambian club- Ramblers FC (yes, I said Nambian club) to play against the Dayton Dutch Lions.
That's according to MLS-Rumors, as they first stated on Friday that Toronto F.C. was not only interested in Ent but the Dutch Lions whole right side from the 2010 season; both Ent and overlapping Dutch Lions right back Evan Schwartz.
The Dayton Dutch Lions already have one sister club in Dutch champions F.C. Twente. The Dutch Lions might be going for the partnership treble this offseason... Yesterday the Dutch Lions announced a partnership with a very successful PDL club- the Baton Rouge Capitals. The Baton Rouge Capitals were founded in 2007, and have a strong English influence- with nearly all of their international spots taken up by English players similiar to how the Dutch Lions keep most of their international spots open for Dutch players.
One of the featured players by Radio Netherlands was Regillio Seedorf, newphew of famous Dutch, A.C. Milan player Clarence Seedorf. The 21 year old Regillio hasn't had as remarkable of a career as his cousin yet, with only stops in the Second Division of Belgium and the Netherlands. But, with a nice goal strike at the end of this video, who knows his career might take off stateside starting with the Dayton Dutch Lions

These are highlights mainly from the second half. Had some transfer difficulties with the first goal that were working on. Should have some complete highlights up on the main website sometime tomorrow. Just wanted to give everyone something to look at as most of the action and two of the goals were in the second half:
Here are the highlights from last night's 3-3 tie between the Dayton Dutch Lions and the Cincinnati Kings:

Here is some video footage of the Dayton Dutch Lions 1-1 preseason scrimmage tie with Xavier University. The quality of the video could be better because all I had available was my flip video camera, but you still get the idea. The quality will improve for the next scrimmage video for the game next Tuesday against Cincinnati as we'll get our USL video kit in by then.
The up close footage near the end was all footage from the 3rd, 30 minute half when I felt the Dayton Dutch Lions picked it up a notch. The Dutch Lions had most of the possession for the entire game, but seemed to knock it around without any direction in the final third. Finally, near the end, in the final 30 minutes it seemed the Dutch Lions had more purpose to their play:
