Schedule? The league isn't sanctioned!!!!!
I hope they keep the Miami FC name. Personally I don't want those dumb donkeys at Traffic ruining the Ft Lauderdale Strikers legacy with a half asked effort in typical Traffic/Miami FC style.
Fold this team now! Save the Strikers name/legacy and support bringing MLS to Miami. South Florida deserves the best, not the worst which is what we currently have.
Well Mr. Anonymous, we have what we have. Last I checked we don't have an MLS team. I'm hopeful we'll have one someday soon, but we may never have one again. I'm supporting my local soccer team, rain or shine, good or bad. That team is the Strikers. And the Fort Lauderdale Strikers is a legacy that deserves to be playing real games at Lockhart, not forever relegated to being a ghost of soccer past. South Florida has the same kind of soccer history and tradition that the Sounders, Timbers and Whitecaps rode right to MLS. The path back to MLS for South Florida can begin April 9th when the Strikers take the field once more at Lockhart.
The Dolphins ownership has been ruining that team's legacy since Joe Robbie died. The Panthers since Wayne sold the club. The Marlins, regardless of owner, have continuously taken 1 step forward and 5 steps back. The only respectable ownership in town is Micky Arison of the Heat. But that doesn't stop fans from supporting all those teams. So support the Strikers, regardless of what you think of Traffic. Tell them they suck from the stands, bring a sign, scream at the team president, he's there.
NASL still has time to get things in order with the USSF and I see no reason why they will not play this year. I'll be at Lockhart April 9th supporting my local team, and so will Uncle Ed. Will YOU?
If you are content with sitting on your couch and watching some club from thousands of miles away, cool, stay home. But I'll be showing REAL support for soccer by screaming until my lungs are sore at Strikers games.
Everyone has their opinion and I give everyone that right to voice it here, so it is welcomed
I understand Traffic hasn't been on the ball when it comes to Miami FC but now they can prove us wrong with this new team.
I hear some good things from the front office especially word of a number of great signings that are on the on the way.
This team is all we have. Let's give them a chance.
Fans don't make the mistake NASL/ Traffic Sports/Aaron Davidson will ruin D2 and soccer in south Florida.
oh a little bit too late; however, I really wanted to thank you for sharing the schedule with us, I hope you share the next year season schedule too
