The Burrito Report: Parte Uno Miami FC vs Cleveland City Stars

Hola Miami FC Fans!
(Click on highlighted words if you don't know the meaning of the word)
Some of you carnales might remember "The Burrito Report" back in the days of the Miami Fusion on Bigsoccer (Burrito has since been banned from Bigsoccer with a Red Cards... pinches putos!) and on the South Florida strikers forum (Now the Miami FC supporters forum). The Burrito Report is a weekly poop fest of nonsense abouts the games, the foods, the beers, the womens and everyting that happen in Miami FC games.
Todays Burrito want to makes fun of those chingados fallen "Stars" those guys from boring town no vato ever want to ever visit... Clevelands... ay Virgencita de Guadalupe! Que feo!
Now Burrito feel more sorrys for those putos cause Miami beat them so good 3-1! ...and for reals what does Cleveland really have there? Burrito never even hear of that city until some one say somethings about basketball! Burrito remember hearing Southern Legion guys yellings "Go back to Clevelands and stick with basketball! Without Lebron you guys ain't anything!" hahahaha... or for you Espanish speakers jajajaja (Just so you understands where Burrito coming from!)
Bueno, so basically except for goal from Haitian vato, los "Stars" really have nothing on fields, Miami FC beat those carajitos like Burritos mami used to beat him for stealing a quesadilla from neighbor back in Toluca, Mexico!Anyways, Burrito was proud to see all my carnales of the Ultras singings and telling Referee he is a Wanker! Cause he was!
Burritos only complaint is that there were no topless womens at game! Why? No cheerleaders eithers por el amor de Dios!
Pero Bueno, Burrito want to invite all my homeboys in Miami to not forget to go to the game this Friday vs those ugly peoples from Canada! You see how Canadians looks in South Park? They really do look like that! Chingada madre! No wonder we have war with them! Ok so Miami FC play the Impacts on Friday at 8pm at FIU stadium! Don't forgets! Tailgate party begin at 6pm in the parking lots! If you show up for tailgate look for Burrito and he give you a Quesadilla!
Vamos Miami FC! Dale por el chiquito!
For more on Burrito join him on myspace!

"I used to drive up for the Fusion," said Ed Serrano, who drove from Kendall wearing a Fusion jersey and a Miami FC scarf. "I'll be at FIU for sure. I'll take more people to FIU. A lot didn't want to make the drive."

Miami FC bring down the "Stars" in vibrant match at Lockhart Stadium.

What a great start to the USL season for Miami FC "Blues" as they defeated the Cleveland City Stars by 3-1

The Sun Sentinel's Jeff Rusnack wrote this quote from Ray Hudson:
"It's a wonderful night and a good atmosphere from the fans, especially with just two weeks' notice that they were playing here"
"Diego Serna, 35, made plays reminiscent of his Miami Fusion days in leading Miami FC to a season-opening victory."Miami Herald
"Miami FC opened its 2009 USL season with a 3-1 victory over the 2008 USL- 2 Champions, Cleveland City Stars." Miami FC site

The ambiance was electric, The Miami Ultras never ceased to yell and the Southern Legion also showed up to make their presence felt. Both fan groups competed in their chants; but remained firm in their resolve to Support their team till the end. Lockhart hadn't felt this alive since the Miami Fusion days and this marked the return of U.S. Professional Soccer in Broward County after years of absence.

The festivities never truly begin until the guest of honor has arrived, "the Goal". Alen Marcina scored the first off of a Diego Serna header to make it 1-0 but Cleveland leveled it as Haitian international Ricardo Pierre-Louis made it 1-1. The Stars couldn't enjoy it for long as Diego Serna scored on a break away to make it 2-1 Blues and finally Brazilian Leo Inacio Nunes made it 3-1 Miami FC off of another Serna pass.
It was Serna who put this team on his shoulders with a goal and two assist making him easily the man of the match. Notable mentions go out to Zach Kirby who was solid in the back and Walter Ramirez on the flank.

In the end the chants of "Diego, Diego, Diego" filled the stadium and the Miami FC players left with their heads up high. Next up the Montreal Impact at FIU stadium on Friday April 24 at 8pm!

Miami FC vs Cleveland City - Tailgate this Saturday 6pm

Today we bring you a friendly neighborhood message from Miami Ultras president, founder and gangster of love... Pieter Brown. (As seen on Bigsoccer)

"You’ve waited all year and it’s finally here! Miami FC’s 2009 season opener will be played in the legendary Lockhart Stadium at 8 PM on Saturday. One way to watch this game is to get there at 7:50 PM buy your ticket and sit in a corner by yourself. Another way is to go to the Miami Ultras tailgate party that starts at 6 PM - fill up on chemical courage - march into the stadium at the start of the game - sing, chant and scream your head off in support of the “Mighty Blues”.

"We’ll see you at the Miami FC tailgate Saturday at 6 PM, go Blues! BYOB!"

Football in Miami and Beyond urges all humans, aliens and sentient lifeforms in South Florida to go to http://www.miamifc.com/ and buy your tickets or buy them at the stadium in the North end of the stadium.
Come out and see Miami FC led by ex Miami Fusion legend Diego Serna defeat the Cleveland City Stars this Saturday at 8 pm!
Let's go Blues!

Toronto lost out on Perlaza, I wish Miami FC could pick up Kaviedes and more

Toronto FC took too long making up their mind about Ecuador defender Jose Luis Perlaza as reported by Ecuadorean site CRE Satelital
Rumours on many sites indicated Perlaza was on Trial with Toronto but it seems they will miss out on this player. CRE continues that Perlaza, who used to play for Olmedo of Riobamba, is out of the country but will return in the next few days to be part of Barcelona SC of Guayaquil who have signed him for the remainder of the year.

On other news another Ecuador player and World Cup Veteran; Ivan Kaviedes was not able to sign with Liga of Portoviejo also of Ecuador. It seems today was the last day to signs players in that league and he remains free.
This striker/midfielder is one of the most experienced players in Ecuador having played in Spain, Italy, England, Mexico among other countries. This is a player I wish Miami FC could sign. Seems like Kaviedes is desperate to get playing minutes and at 31 he doesn't have much time to waste. MLS and USL teams need to hurry before some Middle East league with big bucks lure him!
