Montreal Impact vs Miami FC pictures and comments...

Miami FC and the Montreal Impact had a scrimmage on Sunday that saw a number of players competing for a place on Miami FC.
Considering Miami FC had only started practicing this past week the team looked good.
One stand out was Miami Fusion veteran Diego Serna who looked sharp and in good form. Word is he is still in talks with Miami FC and we should know this week if he will be part of this years roster.
The game was divided into three 30 minute halves that saw the Impact score 3 times to Miami's 1.
A large number of fans showed up to witness this free event. The next preseason match will take place at Barry University on April 1st, and against Lynn University, April 4th. Other friendlies are still to be confirmed.

Former Fusion player to Miami FC? Diego Serna

Back in the Miami Fusion days there was one player that was the target of all haters in MLS and all across the Bigsoccer boards. His name is Diego Serna and recently we saw him at Copa Latina and the 24-hour Soccer-A-Thon organized by the Ultras. Serna was the epitome of the player everyone loved to hate. He was fast, good at handling the ball and he had a knack at creating dead ball opportunities. Many said he was a diver and I admit he was. His acting skill put any Hollywood actor to shame. Yes, I dare say Miami FC needs a player that will be the face of the team and who better for that then Diego Serna.
If you think Serna would be a great player for Miami FC then lets do something about it and write to Miami FC:
adavidson@trafficsports.com

Here is a little on Diego Serna taken from Wikipedia:
Born October 2, 1973 in Medellín, Colombia. The all-time leading scorer for the now-defunct Miami Fusion of Major League Soccer.

Serna began his career with Deportiva Tulua and Independiente Medellín, before moving to MLS with the expansion Fusion in 1998. He ended up with the team records of 100 games, 52 goals, 36 assists, and 140 points in the regular season, and added a goal and an assist in six playoff games. In 2001, he was named to the MLS Best XI.
Serna played for the NY Metro Stars and later the Revolution. Serna then moved back to Colombia to Atlético Nacional and Independiente Medellín, before returning to MLS in the middle of the 2003 season for a stint with the Los Angeles Galaxy, scoring three goals in ten games.

After spending some time playing in his native Colombia with Once Caldas and Deportes Quindio, Serna returned to MLS with the Colorado Rapids in August 2005. He was released in November after playing only two matches for the Denver based club. He then played for Macará of Ecuador before joining Club Fast in Brazil on June 14, 2007

Although Serna was an excellent goal-scorer in MLS, after the Miami Fusion was disbanded, he never reached his maximum potential in the league, electing to play in a diverse scope of international opportunities, contributing to his advancement as an established veteran.

Plans underway to replace Bush years with alternative historical record.

Calling all Miami Fans! Ultras and Southern Legion, lend me your ears!

Calling all South Florida Soccer fans!

We need to unite and get behind our Team Miami FC! The Blues need our help! I'm calling out all The Ultras and the newly formed Southern Legion to come together and cooperate and show MLS what they missed out on!

Our goal is to start off this season on the right foot, lets get a meeting with Miami FC going to ensure we can get flags and instruments into the games. Does anyone play instruments? Do you have access or know students or volunteers who are willing to start a marching band for Miami FC? (Kind of like the Seattle Sounders have...)

We need to look like this:


Ultimately we need to grow into one solid mass of fans that will rally this soccer lazy community. Lets look like this one day:



Lets start this Sunday, March 29th at the Holiday Inn Sunrise 3003 North University Drive - Sunrise, FL.

Lets do it! Vamos Miami FC!

Incoming Israeli PM reveals plans with new "NetanYahoo" search-engine.

Fears Grow for British PM's Eyesight After He Hugs Non-Existent Person.

There are increasing fears for the British Prime Minister's eyesight after an incident that took place in New York on Wednesday. During a press conference designed to promote the upcoming G20 meeting in London, Gordon Brown appeared to believe he was hugging his wife (who was in fact off-stage), while in reality, he was putting his arm around little more than thin air. Downing Street has brushed off the incident, stating that the PM was in fact "Making a joke about how he wishes he could put his arms around ordinary Brits."

Mr Brown is blind in one eye and has deteriorating eyesight in the other as a result of a rugby accident that occured when he was aged 16.

Miami fans are stupid! WMC and otras cosas by Burrito!

Why are Miami Futbol fans estupidos?
People prefer to go to dumb events and this get on Burritos nerves! Porque you ax? Because it is that time of year for WMC (Winter Music Festival.All these vatos come from all over the U.S. and the world to listen to electronic musics and don't get Burrito wrong, some of the mamacitas that come are hotter then tamales con chile! Pero it becomes like hells on the streets and Burrito no like that!

So you vatos need a reason to hate WMC? check out this "Breaking-news-update" from Local Motion Miami :
"1.- I refuse to pay 30 dollars to get into a club. To be fair, though, I've read there are about 2 free events out of 300..."
To read more reasons check out Local Motion Miami and see why WMC sucks bolitas!

Instead of hitting that pinche WMC, Miami Soccer fans need to go see Miami FC play the Montreal Impact this Sunday at 5 pm in Sunrise.

But lets continue on why Miami Soccer fans are idiotas shall we? Burritos Carnal Brian Corey write a great piece on the Ultras site called "The Top Ten Stupid Things People do in Miami Instead of Going to Miami FC Games". Burrito think Brian is genious in bottle! He write:

Reason #10 (People) "Go to Madonna Concerts. That goes for Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson and Justin Timberlake to. They’re not even actually singing on stage, you’re essentially paying $300 dollars to watch them walk back-and-forth for three hours."
Reason # 9 (People) "Go to a Dolphins game. No offense to the playoff-cursed team but the last time they won anything was 40-years ago."
To read more go to the Miami Ultras site

So Miami Soccer fans don't be so estupidos support your Miami FC and Burrito give you a quesadilla, ok?

Right-wing media finally frames Obama...

A secret Muslim, black radical, communist, socialist, elitist, would-be power-hungry dictator, a closet Mugabe fan, a mindless celebrity, who pals around with terrorists and takes his orders from Susan Sarandon and Michael Moore...and who is also really, really boring! Don't you just hate people like that?!

The original Face-Book...

Bond Remake to Feature CGI nipple.

The producers of the upcoming remake of the 1974 James Bond film "The Man With the Golden Gun" have revealed that they will use GGI effects, rather than basic prosthetics, to create the villain's infamous third nipple. "Technology has now reached the point where we can render Francisco Scaramanga's (played by Christopher Lee in the original) nipple in CGI," said Brad Taylor, head of special effects at Industrial Light & Magic, the company tasked with providing effects for the film, "It has taken us a lot of time and money, but we have now developed the technology to give the third nipple a truly 3D feel."

Asked if this wasn't entirely pointless, Taylor defended the move stating "Just wait till you see the nipple."

Experts warn of new Al-Qaeda "F-Bomb" strategy.

Security experts are warning that a depleted Al-Qaeda may be developing a desperate new strategy - unleashing F-bombs in public. This shift is viewed as a sign that things are not going particularly well for the terrorist group. F-bomb attacks are viewed as easy to implement and require little training. An operative runs into a public place, yells "F@#k!" at the top of his or her voice and then runs away very, very fast hoping to cause as much offense as possible. Experts warn that schools and churches could be targeted in particular, due to their increased sensitivity to the F-word.

Miami FC fans are making a Second Fan Club "The Southern Legion"

The continuation of Miami FC in USL and in Southern Florida has brought on some new excitement to a Soccer town full of fans with lack of interest for Soccer that is not from their own countries.
Most people have heard of the Miami Ultras, Miami FC's official support group. But, out of the shadows of the failed MLS Miami Barcelona bid comes a group of young soccer fans that want to make a difference.

I spoke to Sean Gibb president of the new group who was brought up to love Soccer by his father. Sean is a fan of Deportivo Cali, a Colombian soccer team. Sean try's play Soccer whenever he can with friends.

I asked Sean a few questions:

Uncle Ed: What is the groups name?
Sean Gibb: "The groups name is Southern Legion (Legion del Sur in Spanish)."

UE: How did the idea get started?
SG: A friend, Luis Rodriguez, and I came up with the idea of starting a hardcore fanatics supporters group, like the one's you would see in Colombia. So we created the Facebook page to start getting some members.

UE: What is your target crowd and how many members are in your group so far?
SG: We are trying to target the younger crowd, to bring some energy to the stadium. Anyone is welcome to join, but we are mostly targeting the Hispanics of Miami. We currently have over 90 members in our Facebook group.

UE: Have you had any contact with Miami FC?
SG: We have not had any contact with Miami FC yet since we are only about 1-2 months old.

UE: Have you thought of being part of the Ultras?
SG: We have been in contact with the Ultras and look forward to working with them in the future. But in regards to being part of the Ultras, I don't think that would happen since we are trying to create a different type of group with a different vibe. Plus, maybe a little friendly competition between groups will help bring more people to the stands! hahaha. Although they do have a slight advantage since they have been around for a while.
UE: I want to thank Sean for his time and wish him the best of luck.
If you would like to be part of this group contact the Southern Legion on Facebook
or email: Southern_Legion@hotmail.com

Miami FC to play against USL rival Montreal Impact this Sunday

Only days after announcing they will continue to play in USL; Miami FC is working on getting a competitive team together for the season that begins April 18 vs Cleveland.

No site has been announced yet but it's believed the game will be played at Lockhart Stadium, though the Miami Herald reports there is a schedule conflict that day. To add to Miami FC's dilemma; FIU Stadium is also booked the following day on April 19 for an exhibition with former soccer stars playing for charity. It is also known that FIU is not interested in having Miami FC play at their stadium this year. If you want Miami FC to play at FIU stadium please write to Pete Garcia at: pgarcia@fiu.edu

According to the Montreal Impact site: The Impact will play this Sunday, March 29 at 5 pm against their USL First Division rivals Miami FC at the Sunrise Soccer complex.

I hope to see all South Florida fans out there cheering their team on!
Vamos Miami FC!

Help Bring Miami FC to FIU Stadium!

I'd like to echo the plea made by the Ultras site concerning the new possible stadium for Miami FC.
Miami FC is going to have some games played up in Lockhart Stadium (Broward County) and though I have no objections to this move I do believe the team should play most of the games in the Miami area.

From what we know Miami FC was close to signing a deal to play at FIU’s stadium until the now failed MLS Barcelona Miami bid stepped in and ruined that chance. Now it seems FIU doesn't want Miami FC to play in their stadium...
This move really doesn't make sense as FIU would benefit in many ways, let me explain.
Miami FC is owned by Traffic Sports, organizers of Copa America, Libertadores, among other tournaments. Traffic organizes many sports events in Miami and this means they will need a stadium for these games, which means more money will be going into the University who as it stands will have an empty stadium otherwise.

We need to knock some sense into FIU officials, let them know how we feel. We want Miami FC in FIU Stadium!

My Favorite and one time home for the Miami Fusion:

Lockhart Stadium

Capacity 18,500-seat facility located at 1350 NW 55 Street in north Ft. Lauderdale , Florida . This location, just west of I-95 and east of the Ft. Lauderdale Executive Airport places the stadium in the heart of the vibrant South Florida community. Approximately 250,000 people visit the stadium annually to view and participate in a wide range of activities.

Lockhart Stadium, with its intimate seating arrangement brings the fans close to all the action, and has been rated as one of the top ten venues in the United States in which to view soccer. The national teams from such countries as Brazil, Denmark, China, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, and Guatemala, as well as Team USA have played international matches in our stadium to rave reviews. The stadium is also used to showcase premier high and middle school sporting events including: the boys and girls State High School Soccer Championships, Broward County's All-star Football game, high school boy's and girl's All-star Soccer Games and the county's middle school soccer championships. The stadium also plays host to Florida Atlantic University's home football games.

The stadium is also frequently used for various non-athletic events including Easter Sunrise Services and commercial photographic and televising shoots.

Miami FC will play another season!

According to the Miami Herald South Florida fans can rejoice as Brazil-based owners of the team, Traffic Sports, will announce today that they have decided to continue playing in USL. A source indicated that the three-year-old club had enough support to stay afloat. Traffic president Julio Mariz was satisfied with the response and has decided to play the 2009 season as scheduled.

The Stadium where Miami FC will play has still not been decided but Lockhart Stadium in Fort Lauderdale might host some games. Other stadiums like FIU, Tropical Park and Ted Hendricks Stadium are other options.

In any case, Miami Fans need to support, follow and bleed "Blue" this year if they want this team to succeed and hopefully one day be part of Major League Soccer.

For those Soccer snobs out there that look down upon USL as a second rate league, read today's paper. There is a "little" team from Puerto Rico that plays in USL that just beat Mexican First Division Team Cruz Azul 2-0 and is one step from the CONCACAF Champions Final! The Islanders and the Montreal Impact went farther then any MLS team this year and clearly demonstrates the competitive level of play in USL.

I don't know about you guys but my happy Miami Soccer fan ass will be at every game this season! Just look for a loud bald guy wearing Blue, holding a scarf in one hand and a beer in the other amongst the Ultras.
Join me! Join the Ultras.

Cancer Jade tour tickets sell out in 48 hours.

Tickets for a planned 50-city worldwide "This is It" tour by celebrity cancer sufferer Jade Goody have sold out within two days of going on sale, reports Ticketmaster. The farewell tour, which could now be extended into next year, will see Goody saying farewell to fans and well-wishers in various stadium settings. According to Jade Goody's publicist, Max Clifford, the heightened demand has led planners to begin re-thinking the scope of the farewell tour. "We are considering our options," said Clifford, "But it is clear that there continues to be a huge public appetite for saying goodbye one very last time to our beloved Jade."

Steele under fire for new GOP ad.

Embattled GOP chairman Michael Steele is again under fire for a new Republican Party ad campaign, which critics have described as disgusting and utterly inappropriate. The poster ad, which was unveiled yesterday, appears to have sourced a widely-circulated "bad painting" of President Barack Obama (see badpaintingsofbarackobama.com) to make its point.

The painting in question shows Obama surrounded by Mexican tacos, against the backdrop of a White House adorned with the Mexican flag and also shows the president being adored by a strange mix of multi-colored, in some cases satanic-looking figures. Perhaps most curiously, the ad also features an array of underwear, including one pair in the president's hand. Critics have lashed out at the ad, arguing that it is filled with unsettling and inappropriate undertones.


However, Mr Steele has defended the ad, stating "I think both the painting and the ad perfectly embody the message that the new GOP is trying to convey. I think it has a very powerful message."
