Open Cup 2010 - Emigrantes disqualified

After travelling to New York and taking a major step towards returning to the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup, by beating the Brooklyn Italians 3-2, the 2009 Massachusetts State Cup Champions, Emigrantes Das Ilhas, has been disqualified from the USASA Region I tournament and consequently eliminated from a chance of competing in the 2010 Lamar Hunt US Open Cup. Emigrantes has also been barred
from entering the 2011 National Open Cup tournament.
The team from Brockton was scheduled to play in the USASA Region I tournament quarterfinals on May 2nd against Go Soccer FC from New Jersey, instead, the Brooklyn Italians, the team they beat in the first round, will.
According to a source close to Emigrantes, they were disqualified on two fronts. One because according to the UNITED STATES ADULT SOCCER ASSOCIATION, Inc . National Cups Committee, they used Wilson Medina(Zico RI) without having international clearance on the April 17th match against the Brooklyn Italians. The second reason is because the Emigrantes player Kyle Courteau, did not present a valid player pass for the same match. The source informed criolosports.com that Emigrantes has an email from the US Soccer stating that Zico (RI) was clear to play in that April 11th match. The National Cups Committee is claiming that the email was sent by mistake because the person responsible for handling these issues was on vacation.

Criolosports.com has learned that Emigrantes has appealed the findings. Currently, the 2009 Massachusetts State Cup Champions is trying to gather funds in order to file an injunction/Restraining order to keep the quarterfinals game from being played this weekend and allow a judge to make a decision. Emigrantes is also filing a lawsuit for $10,000.

On a question posed by criolosports to the NELASA President and Emigrantes ex-President, Carlos “Bibi” Amado, on what would be the benefit for NELASA, NELASA teams and players had Emigrantes gone further in this competition?

Bibi said: “the benefit would be that the further Emigrantes went the more exposed the team/league and the capeverdean community would get. Last year we went to the finals and few teams had even heard of Cape Verde. We are the only Capeverdean team to qualify for the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup. We were close to playing the revs (New England Revolutions). We lost to Western Mass (PDL) in extra time after twice taking the lead. W. Mass then lost to NY in PKs and the team from NY played Revs”. Bibi added that it also would continue to add to NELASA's prestige. In part because of Emigrantes Success in the national cups, any referee from Mass who's a candidate to become a national ref has to work on NELASA’s games.

  3. Correction bibi, W.Mass pays in USL, which is a completly different from PDL, and second they played a TOP team from their own USL division which was Hrrisburg City Islanders from PA(former USL Champion) losing in PKs as u mentioned. Just some facts corrections.... With that said, continue to fight and im sure it will pay off, if they made a mistake its their own fault and justice will be done.........

  13. It's funny how this story is just now coming out...When they (Emigrantis) won, they made sure that Criolosports & Futebolcriolo oa nay other form of media out there new about the result before they even got to Brockton, why keep this under wrap? why not inform your fan base?? THANK YOU criolosports for uncovering this... and Patricia please get yourself informed b4 you criticize others, the only one talking SH*@t is you

  14. Got to love your passion,however you probably want to take this sentece back"this is the problems with cape verdeans that at times i feel embaressed 2 call myself cape verdean"...
    A bit pretentious don't you think?i guess Cabo vernidade will cease to exist because Patricia sometimes feels embaressed to call herself cape verdean,chill criola.oops sorry i called you criola.people will always desagree and it doesn't mean hate.
    Now to matter in hand,many people are of the opinion that the only championship imigrantes ever won was accomplished in a very suspiscious fashion to say the least after the were beaten fair and square on the field of play,and that could be one of the reasons some people are sounding off against imigrantes.
    You seem like a person that is big on justice.Why not justice for all?or it only hurts when it happens to me?
    And what is it with this thinking if you are criolo and your opinion differs from what is perceived to be correct,you are called names,labeled one thing or other?why not attack the merits of ones opinion.
    I'm not a fan of imigrantes still hope they aren't in the wrong.
    It goes without saying that an injust act is an injust act not matter which direction it comes from or point to.
    Long live democracy!
