Miami Ultras on TV, pictures and video. USA can't hold the lead and fall to Brazil

The Miami Ultras appeared on Univision during the USA vs Brazil game and Republica Deportiva. It was a fun event that also saw Miami FC players Danny Vasquez and Richard Perdomo interviewed by Presidente Fernando Fiore.

Here are a few pictures and video (In Spanish)
For more pictures and video head over to the Miami Ultras site.


A special thanks to Miami FC Media Relations/PR Manager Ignacio Rodriguez-Argote for putting this together.

While at Univision's studio we watched the USA drop a 2 -0 lead in the second half, a heart breaker for the USA fans in the studio. Could this be time for a change of the U.S. head coach? I mean it's great we got to the final, but we need to remember we got there by mere circumstance on goal aggregate, We lost 3 of the 5 games we played at this tournament... Still, falling to Brazil by 3-2 isn't as bad as losing to them 3-0 like we did in the first round.

Soccer Fans! Miami FC returns home to play the now traditional Fourth of July game against the first place Puerto Rico Islanders. This game will be played at FIU Stadium and will include fireworks immediately after the game. For more info go to the Miami FC website and get your tickets!

Be sure to check out a great piece written by Robert Scorca in the first of a multi part series detailing the history of Soccer in South Florida called "Humble Beginnings". They didn't start in South Florida at all, it began in Washington and here is a little of the story:
The history of the Fort Lauderdale Strikers goes back before Fort Lauderdale.
The team even goes back before the North American Soccer League. The N.A.S.L.
was soccer in it's heyday. Players like Pele, George Best, Gordon Banks, Bobby Charlton, Bobby Moore, "Nene" Cubillas, etc. all graced the fields in the United States and Canada but I am getting ahead of myself...

Miami Kickers FC have a 4 game winning streak, Miami FC drops one to the Impact

Thanks to the Miami Ultras site for putting us on to the Miami Kickers FC who play in the WPSL Sunshine Division which they currently lead undefeated after 4 games. The Kickers recently beat down the FC Thomasville Dragons by a whopping 5-1 this past weekend. All Miami Kickers FC home games are played at American Heritage School in Plantation. Admittance is $8 for adults and $4 for children. The Kickers play next away versus the Puerto Rico Capitals. Be sure to check out the next home game on Saturday July 11 as the ladies take on the Clearwater Galactics. Let's support Soccer in South Florida! Be sure to check them out. FMB (Football in Miami and Beyond) will be covering the Kickers games and giving you the scoop. So keep checking back and visit the Miami Kickers FC website.

Word has it the Miami Ultras will try to attend a Miami Kickers game in the near future. We will keep you posted on that.
I'd like to see Miami FC and the Miami Kickers FC get together and give us a double header! Maybe the Kickers can move their Saturday game on July 11 back a day and play at FIU Stadium on Sunday July 12? I think Miami FC should give us a double header of any kind at this stage.

Talk about Miami FC... The Blues lost a close one to the Montreal Impact last night by 1-0. See more here. I'm kind of concerned with the highlights they gave on USL live as there is no film of any Miami attack! Omitted Mysteriously is the legitimate goal that was taken from the Blues... does USL have favorites?

Miami FC gets 6 points out of Cleveland. Blues to meet Impact on Tuesday at Montreal

The Blues played 2 great games away at the Cleveland City Stars. First Miami FC came away with a 2-1 victory on Thursday June 18th. I saw the game at Fritz & Franz and had a great time with a couple of the players and the Ultras. We were down 1-0 but the Blues recovered Leo Inacio Nunes scored off a precise shot that found the inside of the bottom right post, tying the score 1-1. Three minutes later, Orlando Bueso initiated a string of passes that led to Alen Marcina's second goal and Paulo Jr..'s second assist. for more read here and see the video below:

The Blues then played the City Stars again on Saturday June 20th also defeating the local team by 1-0, the ball hit the back of Alen Marcina and the ball fell right into the path of Paulo Araujo Jr. who finished with one touch. Here is the video:
Miami FC will now play against the Montreal Impact this Tuesday at Saputo Stadium on June 23rd versus the Montreal Impact. Miami FC last beat the Impact at FIU stadium 2-1 on April 24th.

The Miami Ultras have a great piece about the history of South Florida Soccer by Robert Scorca. It all started out with the Washington Darts who came to South Florida as the Miami Gatos. Eventually the Strikers appeared but read the complete story here

Miami FC play today at 8 pm at Tropical Park versus The Charleston Battery. Game is FREE so everyone and their mami needs to go or Burrito hit you on head with quesadilla! Tailgate start at 6 pm! Vamos Miami!

Burrito watch USA vs Italy game on Telefutura yesterday and was sad to see that those pinches cheaters that make good espagetti win over USA by 3-1. Rico Clark get red and that pretty much end all hopes for USA. Burrito was happy to see his compadre Fernando Clavijo talking on halftime pero Fernando no mention Miami FC! Porque? He should have worn something on suit with Miami FC logo or something... maybe a Miami Ultra scarf? Come on Miami FC let's do somethings!

Talk abouts Miami FC not doing anything, Burrito take bus to Lockhart stadium and there is no sign on Commercial Blvd that say there is a game! Porque? Then they wonder why people don't go to games. How do people know there is a game if there are no signs? Burrito suggest they put those waving Soccer balls in front of stadium and not hidden in the back. Now we have games at FIU stadium, lets see if Miami FC do advertisements or something there.

Marcelo Balboa was 0n DA show 560 AM Saturday afternoon and Burrito hear on way to Lockhart. Balboa say he was watching some chingado hockey game and was bored. DA never mentioned the Miami FC game that was taking place in a few hours... he did mention his Soccer Clinic...? Either ways DA going to do soccer segment on Thursdays 9 or 10ish Burrito will let you vatos know the deal. Balboa was in town for the futbolito thingie and was on Univision in morning getting hair cutoff for charity. Check out video, sorry it's in Spanish but you see most of his hair go bye-bye!
