The visiting Supporters group Ralph's Mob was greeted in their section by a little surprise that was snuck into the Stadium courtesy of South Florida United (The United Supporters Groups consisting of the Miami Ultras, Flight 19, CSE and others)

NOTE:
Burrito's Previous blog called "Everything you need to be a perfect Strikers Fan" was deleted by BLOGGER.
Blogger's malfunction deleted many blog post for other blog sites and claimed the issue would be resolved but that never happened and we assume Burrito's masterpiece went the way of the Dodo bird.
Burrito hopes he can somehow use his canine ability's to conjure something similar in the days to come. (The mentioned post was actually one of the most read blog posts this year)

Barcelona vs Chivas in Miami August 3, 2011

The rumored game between Barcelona and AC Milan was just that, a rumor. Instead Miami will host FC Barcelona vs Chivas of Guadalajara at Sun Life Stadium! A very exciting game for all of us in South Florida.

NEW YORK -- This summer’s lineup of heavy-hitting international matches just got a little heavier.

On Monday, Major League Soccer and CAA announced the addition of three global powerhouses—FC Barcelona, Club América, and CD Guadalajara—to the 2011 Herbalife World Football Challenge.

Also announced was Herbalife’s title sponsorship for the event, which kicks off with the New England Revolution vs. Manchester United on July 13 and also includes Real Madrid taking on the LA Galaxy, the MLS side which sports Herbalife on their jerseys. Herbalife is also a sponsor of Barcelona.
Video:





The Blaugrana, favorites to win their third straight Spanish title and finalists in this year’s UEFA Champions League, will face Chivas at 8 pm ET on Wednesday, August 3, at Sun Life Stadium in Miami.

They will then travel to Dallas, where they will take on Club América at Cowboys Stadium on Saturday, August 6. Kick off is at 4 pm ET.

These two games are the continuation of Barça’s US tour, which begins with the previously announced clash with Manchester United on July 30 at FedEx Field outside of Washington, DC. The meeting will be a rematch of the upcoming UEFA Champions League final, which takes place May 28 in London.

Further games for América and Chivas will be announced later, MLS and CAA said.

The Strikers
After starting off the season with a defeat, the Fort Lauderdale Strikers haven't looked back and have not lost a game since. This weekend the Red and yellow came back from Minnesota with a point as they tied the Stars 1-1.
Leading up to the game Strikers staff held a pub crawl which was a total success. Regrettably the live transmission was not available until the last few minutes of the game, but that did not deter the fans from having fun!

The first half momentum went to the Strikers with multiple chances early on. Paulinho LePetit forced a save from Minnesota’s keeper in the third minute when he shot low to the near post. In the15th minute the Strikers had another opportunity when Aaron Wheeler found Paulinho at the top of the box for a shot that was just wide.
The Strikers went into halftime with a 1-0 lead after Eduardo “Chacho” Coudet converted his fourth straight penalty kick of the season.

Strikers visit the Puerto Rico Islanders

The Fort Lauderdale Strikers will battle the Puerto Rico Islanders tonight Friday, April 29th, 2011 at 8:00 p.m. at Juan Ramón Loubriel Stadium. The Islanders, the reigning Div 2 champions and also the reigning CFU Club Championship winners, are undefeated in the NASL so far this season winning 2 games away and another in their home debut. The Islanders current form will be a test to the Strikers as they come off their first victory this season versus the Atlanta Silverbacks last weekend (2-1).

“The Islanders are playing well right now and it’s going to be a tough challenge,” said Head Coach Daryl Shore. “We are hoping to build from our effort in Atlanta last week and we are looking forward to going down there and coming away with some points.”
The Strikers four-match road trip will also take them to Minnesota and Carolina. The team will return to action at Lockhart Stadium on May 14th against in-state rival FC Tampa Bay.
