MAURICE EDU says he's ready for what he feels is one of the biggest weeks of his career to date with Rangers over the next few days.
Mo EduThe American international looks certain to start against both Valencia in the Champions League on Wednesday then in the Old Firm derby at Celtic on Sunday.
Gers are in a fantastic position in their European group, having drawn at Manchester United on matchday one then beaten Bursaspor at Ibrox at the end of last month.
They're also in excellent form in the SPL, having won their first eight league games of the season for the first time since 1999.
But Edu knows there's no time to sit back and dwell on what has been achieved thus far because of the teams chasing the Light Blues both on the continent and at home.
If Valencia win at Ibrox, they'll move above Walter Smith's side in Group C while Celtic have matched the defending Scottish champions' start to the campaign.
Edu will continue to deputise for Lee McCulloch in midfield and he's optimistic it can be another good week for Rangers as they look to pull away from their rivals.
He said: "In terms club football, this is possibly one of the biggest weeks of my career so far.
"It's not often a Champions League game and an Old Firm game come in the same week but I'm looking forward to the two matches and everyone's excited.
"With Lee McCulloch being out injured it puts more onus on me in midfield but I'm up for that challenge.
"Having played a few games for USA recently and most of the games for Rangers this season, I feel like I'm ready for it.
Mo Edu in action against Bursaspor"It'll be a big test against Valencia but we'll all be up for it at Ibrox. We're in a good position in the Champions League and we want to keep that going.
"They're both important games for different reasons but Valencia is first so we'll focus on that immediately. When that's done our attention will turn to Celtic.
"I'm excited about Wednesday. The atmosphere was incredible when we beat Bursaspor but it could be even more special against Valencia.
"Our Champions League nights at Ibrox are a great spectacle and it's brilliant to be part of them.
"To get a win at the end of last month - something which we hadn't done in a while in Europe - was special and the fans enjoyed it.
"We want to do the same against Valencia. We know they'll be tough opponents because they're doing well in La Liga at the moment but we'll be ready for the challenge."
Edu knows how tough it will be to keep Rangers' good run going two days from now but he has high hopes they can continue to hit the heights.
Even though Smith's squad is a small one, there are plenty of men in it at the top of their game right now.
And with the likes of Kenny Miller, Steven Davis, Steven Naismith and David Weir all impressing again at the weekend, Edu has every right to be confident.
Mo EduHe added: "We need to be that way and you can't go into games counting yourself out before you kick-off.
"We're in a good position and it would be foolish to get too far ahead of ourselves but we have belief and know what we're capable of achieving.
"If we stick together and stay united, the potential's there for something special in the Champions League this season.
"I'm not sure if we're exceeding expectations. After pre-season, we felt pretty good and started the season confidently.
"I don't know if we've surpassed the goals we set ourselves but I know this is where we wanted to be.
"When the Champions League draw was made I know a lot of people counted us out. But with the squad we've got, I felt we could do something and we're on track."
Atlanta also is likely to be on any short list of cities likely to win an MLS expansion franchise. Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank, who submitted a bid for an MLS team in 2008, is said to remain interested.
"Soccer is the international sport," said Robin Loudermilk, president and CEO of Aaron's and co-chairman of the CEO Soccer Cabinet. "For Atlanta to be a true international city, we have to have a soccer team."
And the committee has its eye on hosting the NCAA men's and/or women's soccer championships.
While most of those professional and collegiate soccer opportunities have yet to be realized, Atlanta is a major center for amateur youth and adult soccer.
The city drew 650 youth teams to the Publix Atlanta Cup on Labor Day weekend, an amateur tournament staged on close to 100 soccer fields at 26 locations across the metro region.
About 30,000 people attended the event, some coming from as far north as New York and Ohio, said Rick Skirvin, executive director of Georgia Soccer, the nonprofit official state youth and adult association for soccer in Georgia.
Skirvin said hotels and restaurants across Atlanta benefited from the economic impact of such a large, yet scattered, contingent of soccer devotees.
While 650 teams constitutes a huge tournament, the CEO Soccer Cabinet has larger visions. To build the number of fields that would be needed to host 1,000 or more teams, the committee is eyeing a portion of 1,300 acres set aside as open space by developers of the planned Atlanta Beltline.
Brian Leary, president and CEO of Atlanta BeltLine Inc., said three multipurpose fields already under construction along the 22-mile corridor could be used for soccer.
Leary, another member of the committee who played on Georgia Tech's soccer team during his college days, said becoming a mecca for amateur soccer would enhance Atlanta's soccer reputation internationally, enhancing the World Cup bid and other efforts.
"We're only constrained by the number of fields, and we're getting close to the limit now," he said.
Dean said that while other groups are taking the lead on specific soccer-related initiatives, including landing an MLS franchise and winning Atlanta a host spot for the World Cup, the CEO Soccer Cabinet has an important big-picture role to play.
"What this is is an effort to establish a broader strategic plan that helps augment what's going on already and fill in the gaps," he said. "The key is to make sure all the efforts are coordinated ... and that the community sees the importance of this."
Wayne Lord, a professor in international executive education at Georgia State University and president of the World Affairs Council of Atlanta, said it's important to keep in mind that the committee's ultimate aim is to widen the perception of Atlanta as an international city.
"Soccer is played everywhere," Lord said. "Because of its international reach, Atlanta would be well-served to be in touch with, and engaged in, international soccer."
"It's not just sports," Dean added. "It's about positioning our city and building our city."
Heady aspirations
The following list of current and potential future soccer happenings in Atlanta make a new committee of CEOs bullish on the city as a global soccer capital:
Atlanta Beat - women's professional soccer team playing in Kennesaw
Aaron's International Soccer Challenge - annual exhibition game at the Georgia Dome featuring high-profile international teams
Atlanta Silverbacks - inactive second-tier professional men's soccer team planning to resume play next year
Major League Soccer - Atlanta interested in expansion franchise in U.S.-based men's professional soccer league
World Cup - Atlanta bidding to become U.S. host city for 2018 or 2022 event
NCAA championships - Atlanta interested in hosting men's and/or women's college soccer championship tournaments
Publix Atlanta Cup - CEO Soccer Cabinet looking to expand amateur youth tournament
A recently formed committee calling itself the CEO Soccer Cabinet is working on a variety of fronts to boost the city to the top of the soccer world, from supporting Atlanta's bid to become a U.S. host city for the World Cup to joining forces with Atlanta BeltLine Inc. in a plan to build enough soccer fields to lure more and bigger amateur tournaments.
Becoming the global soccer capital is big thinking for a city that has yet to land a Major League Soccer franchise, the largest market in the nation without an MLS team.
But for Atlanta, which came of age internationally by hosting the 1996 Summer Olympics, big thinking centered on sports isn't new.
"It's a bold, audacious goal," said Clark Dean, senior managing director at corporate real estate firm Julien J. Studley Inc. and chairman of the CEO Soccer Cabinet's planning subcommittee. "[But] Atlanta has a great history of achieving bold, audacious goals."
Atlanta has been making noise in the soccer world both domestically and abroad for a couple of years.
The Atlanta Beat joined Women's Professional Soccer this year as an expansion team, playing its home games at a new 8,300-seat soccer stadium on the campus of Kennesaw State University.
The Atlanta Silverbacks, a second-tier men's pro soccer team, played in the United Soccer League until 2008 at a soccer-specific stadium in Chamblee before sitting out the 2009 and 2010 seasons. The Silverbacks, who have an active women's team, plan to return next season.
Aaron's Inc. served as title sponsor of July's International Soccer Challenge at the Georgia Dome, pitting two international professional teams, a follow-up to two international exhibition matches last summer.
Of the six international teams that participated in the three games thus far, four were from Latin American countries. The Atlanta area is home to a large and growing Latino population, whose enthusiasm for the sport helped attract big crowds to the Dome and in the long run strengthens Atlanta's case for becoming a major soccer market.
Atlanta is one of 18 American cities named as part of the U.S. Soccer Federation's bid to host the World Cup in 2018 or 2022. Soccer's international governing body is expected to award both tournaments in December.
Georgia State defense made an impressive showing on the back line, accounting for their seventh shutout in just 15 games this season.
The Panther's registered nine total shots, with only two shots on goal.
“Today’s game really showed strength of the Colonial Athletic association and how Sunday games can be such battles,” said head coach Domenic Martelli. “When you look at the results throughout the whole conference this weekend in Sunday’s games, it is always going to be anybody’s game. No matter what the records are, no matter where we stand, no matter where the games are; any team is able to capture the win. Today, at home, getting a point in the tie is very important. I think both teams had ample opportunities. We were a toe-poke away from three or four goals today. Our defense really stepped up today to land the shutout. Everyone on the back line did a great job against some very athletic forwards.”
The Panthers first scoring opportunity came midway through the first half when they put together a great series of passing to result in a shot for sophomore midfielder Jocelyn Baker. Unfortunately, she could not garner enough power behind her shot and it was just wide right of the Rams’ goal.
VCU fired a shot on the Georgia State goal less than two minutes after the Panther scoring opportunity but Collins scooped up the ball to deny the Rams a point and both teams entered halftime scoreless.
Early in the second half, GSU was awarded a free kick serviced by freshman defender Alyssia Feronti. Feronti’s kick soared over the heads of the VCU defenders but missed the net a few inches to the right.
Georgia State found the back of the net at the 61:49 mark with a successful shot from Baker, but the score was not counted due to an offside call against Georgia State. Baker was given another scoring chance off a free kick from junior defender Bri Cagle. Baker got a head on the ball from Cagle but VCU’s goalkeeper made the save and the score remained 0-0 as regulation came to an end.
Both teams came out fighting for a win in the first overtime. VCU encountered a scoring chance when forward Azania dribbled past the Panther defenders to place herself one on one with Collins. Azania fired a shot but Collins made a sliding save to deny the Rams the game-winner.
Despite four total shots taken in the second overtime, neither team was able to find the game-winning goal and the match came to an end with the score tied 0-0.
“We did well enough today to pull off a tie but there is more ahead,” said Martelli. “We have five games left, the next four on the road. It is very important for us to get as many points as we can.
Our ultimate goal of making the conference tournament is still within our grasp but it is really up to us. It is not going to come to us on its own. We have to get hungrier in the box. Create more chances up front and get those necessary goals.”
The Georgia State women’s soccer team will spend two weekends on the road on beginning this Friday, Oct. 15 as it travels to Maryland to look for its fifth conference win against Towson.
