Miami FC beats the Vancouver Whitecaps will now face the Portland Timbers

"With key players such as Diego Serna out, Miami FC continued its recent strong play and defeated Vancouver 2-1 at FIU Stadium." Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald

Things are looking good for the Blues on the field as they remain unbeaten at FIU Stadium. Miami looked strong in the first half and could have increased the score if their players had better aim. Numerous opportunities were wasted. Miami took a 1-0 lead in the 5th minute on a goal by Alan Marcina. Leo Inacio made it 2-0 on a penalty kick awarded after defender Jeff Parke grabbed the ball in the area with his hands.

The Second half saw the Whitecaps come on strong in search of some goals but it wasn't until a red card given to Alen Marcina towards the end of the match that the Whitecaps were able to score with only two minutes left in the game. Dever Orgill gave Vancouver some hope but the game was sealed, final 2-1 for the Blues.

With the win, Miami FC is in sixth place and is only four points behind the Rochester Rhinos. The Blues will now play two consecutive games against the second place Timbers on Friday 8PM and Sunday 6PM at FIU Stadium. For more information visit www.miamifc.com

Weekend of Soccer in South Florida: Gold Cup, Miami Kickers and Miami FC

Who said Miami was not a soccer town? You see games being played all over South Florida, but fans are known to be fickle and demanding when it comes to watching a game live.

It will be a double header that will see Costa Rica go against Canada at 7 p.m. and El Salvador vs. Jamaica at 9 p.m. For ticket information go to The Gold Cup site but hurry, the stadium can only fit about 20,000 people so tickets will go fast!

New Miami FC Jersey, History of South Florida Soccer and more

This Season it seems everything that has to do with Miami FC is late. The team almost folded due to MLS and we didn't know until the last minute it would survive. Therefore the team was organized at the last minute and so to continue with that trend this season the new Miami FC jersey finally came out in time for the July 4th game against the Puerto Rico Islanders.
To get a better view click on the picture to the right. What do you think? You can get the new jersey at Miami FC games or at Soccer Locker for a mere $40.00. Get your jersey and support our professional team.

It seems Miami FC will lose Facundo Erpen and Richard Perdomo. This according to the Miami Herald. Both seem to be ready to make moves Perdomo to Platense of Honduras and Erpen to a yet unknown team. Perdomo was recently on Republica Deportiva where incidentally the Miami Ultras also appeared (You can see the video in a post below). For more thoughts and the direction this is taking the team read this Miami Ultra piece called "Traffic Sports 2 Miami FC 0"

Also on the Ultras site you can check out more History of Pro Soccer in South Florida as Robert Scorca takes us back to the Miami Gatos days. Click here

Folks lets get out there this Sunday July 12th as the Blues will take on the MLS bound Vancouver Whitecaps at FIU Stadium. The game is set to start at 6 pm with an Ultras tailgate starting at 4 pm. The Beer is FREE! So get out there and support Soccer in South Florida!

Soccer Roof Top in Miami, with pictures and video...

This past Friday our good friend at Miami FC, Ignacio Rodriguez invited us over to Soccer Roof Top for a game of 6 on 6 and I must say it was a great experience! To think we only played one hour. But it was enough for me to realize I need to go again.
Surrounded by high rises and just off Brickell, the view is spectacular and though playing on a synthetic field it only takes a few minutes before you get a hang of how to play on this surface. The field is 56 feet by 110 feet and you play caged in so you don't lose the ball. There are 2 fields but you'll need to call in to reserve just in case. But enough with the writing, let the pictures speak for themselves.



Located at Rivergate Plaza, 444 Brickell Ave. Miami FL, 33131 Phone: 786-493-7167
For rates and more information you can also go to their website http://www.soccerrooftop.com/

Miami FC tie with Puerto Rico. Pictures of Tailgate and more

Miami FC played to a 0-0 tie with the Puerto Rico Islanders on the 4th of July. The Blues dominated most of the match but was unable to capitalize their many chances and had to settle for the draw. Miami saw what seemed to be a legitimate goal called back after a clean header by Leo Inacio. For more on the game go to the Miami Herald or the Miami Ultras site.
