Did you think only <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Beckham" target="_blank">David Beckham</a> and his apparent partner <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MarceloClaurePage" target="_blank">Marcelo Claure</a> were the only ones interested in bringing a <a href="http://www.mlssoccer.com/" target="_blank">Major League Soccer </a>team to South Florida? Nope, there are more.<br />
<br />
We recently heard that Dolphins owner Steve Ross might bring a team too. Well, he's not the only one.<br />
<br />
Last night on the <a href="http://ultrasalive.com/" target="_blank">Ultras Alive Show</a> we heard from another possible <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MLSMiamiBid" target="_blank">MLS Miami Bid</a> group lead by former The Childrens Investment Fund partner Alessandro Butini.<br />
Alessandro, has been working with the University of Miami School of Architecture on a Stadium project . This past Monday he met up with the Dean of the Architecture school and the senior students taking part in a Fall studio which is centered on the project of a soccer specific stadium for an MLS team in Miami. In December, the senior professors of the architecture school will name the winner of the project which will help Alessandro find a location (said to be in Downtown Miami) and the perfect design for a Roofed Soccer Specific Stadium that he tells us will be completely privately funded.<br />
<br />
Butini continued, that he has spoken to MLS commissioner <a href="http://www.mlssoccer.com/executives/garber" target="_blank">Don Garber</a> and Miami city officials about what is needed and required to make this happen. He is fully aware of the challenges South Florida brings and has identified Miami as an event town, which he expects to address accordingly. <br />
He has the backing of Suzie MacCagnan, who has worked in numerous transactions of football clubs in the UK, and advised many board of directors, like Liverpool, Sheffield United, and Portsmouth. Plus Marco Felice Novelli, an investment banker who has focused his career in Real Estate deals and distressed equities.
Alessandro is looking for his Miami team to start playing in his fully operational facility in 2017 .<br />

It's been almost a month since a certain <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Beckham" target="_blank">David Beckham</a> was seen at a Miami Heat game with Bolivian billionaire <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MarceloClaurePage" target="_blank">Marcelo Claure</a>.<br />
We first heard the rumor of a Miami MLS team between Claure & Beckham a few years back. But, not many took notice until a small mention on May 1, 2013 on the Washington Post by <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/2011/02/24/AB5lfyI_page.html" target="_blank">Steven Goff</a>:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>*Getting word a <b>David Beckham</b>-backed effort to bring
MLS to Miami is about to pick up a steam and could go public in about a
month. The league has prioritized a second club in New York for the 20th
team and is intrigued by Orlando’s aggressive expansion campaign, but
with Miami featuring Beckham and Dolphins management, Miami has quietly
re-emerged. South Florida had an MLS team from 1998 to 2001, the Miami
Fusion, which played at Lockhart Stadium in north Fort Lauderdale (30
miles from downtown Miami) but lacked the investment muscle and public
will to survive. Commissioner <b>Don Garber</b> has said repeatedly MLS needs to expand into the South; currently, there are no teams south of Washington on the East Coast. </i></blockquote>

A few days later on Thursday May 30th, anyone that watched the Miami Heat game could see Simon Evans was on the money about the meeting.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Having had a couple of days to work with, a few fans decided to have a Beckham rally to show support. <a href="https://twitter.com/kaufsports" target="_blank">Michelle Kaufman</a> from the Miami Herald covered it <a href="http://www.miamiherald.com/2013/05/31/3424452/soccer-star-david-beckham-will.html" target="_blank">HERE.</a><br />
<br />
Beckham ended up staying almost a week touring stadiums and taking in everything Miami had to offer. South Florida was a buzz with Beckham sightings across town. A couple of local news sites were able to get an exclusive interview with him.<br />

David eventually attended a second Miami Heat game and for the next few days the media continued to cover his visit, as fans also began to light up twitter and facebook with pictures and mentions of sightings.<br />
<br />
A month later and as talk of Orlando's stadium project began to get attention. Brightstar CEO Marcelo Claure tweets a picture of David Beckham holding a Club Bolivar jersey (Bolivian Champions also owned by Claure) which indicates talks are still on going and mentioning Beckham as Claure's MLS partner on his Twitter account.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It's all over the internet this week, but it's been talked about for a few years now. David Beckham is going to be part of an ownership group that would bring a <a href="http://www.mlssoccer.com/">Major League Soccer</a> team to Miami.<br />
<br />
The case for Miami:<br />
Miami is becoming a soccer hub and growing soccer scene: Home to <a href="http://www.concacaf.com/page/Home/0,,12813,00.html">CONCACAF</a>, <a href="http://www.traffic.com.br/site/EN/home">Traffic Sports</a>, <a href="http://www.beinsport.tv/">beIN Sport</a>, <a href="http://www.univision.com/">Univision-ABC</a>, <a href="http://msnlatino.telemundo.com/">Telemundo</a>, US training base, new owner of <a href="http://www.mlssoccer.com/wfc/2012">World Football Challenge</a>, <a href="http://www.nasl.com/">NASL</a>, <a href="http://www.goltv.tv/">GolTV</a>, and all the soccer stars who own homes here.<br />
All we need is MLS in Miami!<br />
<br />
It's our time to act! He already denied any contact with a NY team but he hasn't done it with South Florida. <br />
<br />
Let's send emails, tweets and facebook messages to David Beckham to show our support. We've done this in the past with MLS and its worked. <br />
<br />
Tell them you want MLS in Miami and that we will support them! <br />

<a href="https://twitter.com/kaufsports" target="_blank">Michelle Kaufman</a> of the <a href="http://www.miamiherald.com/" target="_blank">Miami Herald</a> wrote about it on her <a href="http://miamiherald.typepad.com/total_futbol/2012/09/miamis-watching-mls.html#comments" target="_blank">Total Futbol blog</a> yesterday:
<br />
<blockquote>
"Miami may not have an MLS team anymore, but apparently it still has MLS fans. The league has discovered that Miami is one of the top three television markets for MLS games among non-MLS cities, along with San Diego and Atlanta."</blockquote>

<br />
It also helps that the <a href="http://www.strikers.com/" target="_blank">Fort Lauderdale Strikers</a> of the <a href="http://www.nasl.com/" target="_blank">North American Soccer League</a> have also had strong attendances numbering just under a 4K average... Not bad considering it's Division 2! Add to that the great atmosphere you can experience at Lockhart Stadium with the supporters groups <a href="http://www.flight-19.com/" target="_blank">Flight 19</a> & <a href="http://miamiultras.com/" target="_blank">The Ultras</a> and did we mention the epic tailgates?

Just last year I helped organize a meeting with MLS Commissioner <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Garber" target="_blank">Don Garber</a>, where he told the <a href="http://miamiultras.com/" target="_blank">Miami Ultras</a> in attendance that South Florida needed to show him we wanted MLS... Well, Commissioner Garber, in 1 year we've done all you've asked us to do!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Recently Commissioner Garber had this to say about our market on<a href="http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2011/11/10/garber-league-still-focused-expansion-team-new-york" target="_blank"> mlssoccer.com</a> :
<br />
<blockquote>
“Miami is continuing to intrigue us a bit more than it had been,” Garber said. That growing intrigue stems from recent news supporting Miami’s soccer bona fides. First, there is the strong interest in the recent news that Chelsea and AC Milan will play a friendly at Sun Life Stadium as part of the World Football Challenge. Second, Garber pointed out that Miami had the third-highest local TV rating for last weekend’s LA Galaxy-New York Red Bulls match on ESPN. Only LA and New York had higher TV ratings. “We’re going to do in Miami what we’ve done in many other markets,” he said. “We’ll continue to schedule international games and continue to get inundated with emails from the <a href="http://miamiultras.com/" target="_blank">Miami Ultras</a>, who want us to bring a team there. We’ll continue to be intrigued by it"

Last night on Telefutura's Contacto Deportivo, Ivan Kasanzew (Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/elcondek">@elcondek</a>)asked <a href="http://www.facebook.com/Beckham">David Beckham</a> if he will bring Major League Soccer (MLS) to Miami!<br />
There has been a constant rumors that <a href="http://www.facebook.com/MarceloClaurePage">Marcelo Claure</a>, CEO of Brightstar and owner of Bolivia's most popular team <a href="http://www.facebook.com/ClubBolivarOfi">Bolivar</a> has contacted David Beckham in hopes of bringing a team to Miami.<br />
This is the first time a journalist has asked Beckham if this rumor is true on television. Props to TeleFutura's Ivan Kasanzew aka el <a href="https://twitter.com/elcondek">CondeK</a> for being the first.<br />

Throughout Sports history there are fans who have become an insignia or
symbol of a team. The Lakers have Jack Nicholson, The Knicks have Spike
Lee... The Miami Fusion had Burrito.<br />
<br />
Very little is know about
this mysterious and solitary soul. According to Burrito he was Born
one cold night in the year of our lord 1998 in the city of Toluca, Mexico. His Mother a Chihuahua, his father unknown, this half breed was a Toluca Fan since birth and became a member of the supporters group known as la <a href="http://www.perrabrava.com.mx/" target="_blank">Perra Brava</a>! He
eventually came to this country by ways unknown and now resides in Homestead,
Florida. I was able to get a hold of him by chance, while walking by a restaurant in Homestead called El Toro. I looked down and felt something hump my leg... He proceeded to eat out of the trash and while he chewed on a piece of leftover quesadilla we talked about Mexico, Futbol and bitches... Mostly bitches... and here is what happened: (I'll try my
best to capture Burritos accent. I mean, he speaks dog so here is my translation and My nickname is Chichi btw...read on...)<br />
<br />
Uncle Ed (ChiChi): Just like many of us, your heart must have been broken when our team The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miami_Fusion_F.C." target="_blank">Miami Fusion</a> was taken from us.<br />
Burrito:
Pinches Putos nos chingaron! All Burrito have was that team. If it
wasn't for the Mexican League and Burritos mami back in Mexico, Burrito would have
died. And Burrito gots to tell you his mami is a real bitch!<br />
UE: Why the name Burrito?<br />
B: Why the name Chichi carnal?<br />
UE: ChiChi is a nickname.<br />

B:
In Mexico they call boobies chichis puto, you should change the name.
Burrito call himself Burrito after favorite food and because when
Burrito play Futbol people say Burrito looked like Ariel "Burrito"
Ortega from Argentina.<br />
UE: Is it true you used to take the bus to Lockhart Stadium from Homestead? That's got to be like 50 miles at least.<br />
B:
Si, it was very far but when you love Futbol like Burrito love Futbol
then you no think of it. Burrito used to sneak in pick up truck of this Afusionado member and he listen to some music by
Vicente Fernandez and time go by fast. Pero now Burrito just live at Lockharts Stadium.<br />
UE: Have you tried doing something about your writing skills?<br />
B: No, Burrito got paws so kina hard to type.<br />
UE: So we almost had a New MLS team in 2008 what are your thoughts on that?<br />
B: Que? Burrito drop piece of quesadilla...<br />
UE: Oh... never mind.<br />
On
that note, It was nice talking to you. You should come back to
the Bigsoccer forums where you used to be a hit!<br />
B:
Burrito have too many enemies in Bigsoccer, people no like him there an
give him Red Card! Beside, Burrito too Macho for them, maybe one day when Strikers make it to MLS Burrito make return. Burrito used to be part of Afusionados, but now Burrito is a <a href="http://miamiultras.com/" target="_blank">Miami Ultras</a> and sleep under section 115 at Lockhart Stadium. Sometimes late at night people can hears cowbell and hot bitches yellings. When you hear that then you know its Burrito!<br />
UE: Ok Burrito thanks!<br />

Two great teams will play in Miami! Check out the press release:
MIAMI (May 7, 2012) – The eyes of the soccer world will focus on South Florida again this summer when two of Europe’s most storied clubs, England’s Chelsea FC and Italy’s AC Milan, face-off at Sun Life Stadium at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 28 as part of the World Football Challenge. The announcement was made by RSE Ventures, in partnership with CAA Sports, a division of Creative Artists Agency (CAA), the world’s leading entertainment and sports agency, and Major League Soccer (MLS), the top-flight professional soccer league in the U.S. and Canada. RSE Ventures also announced that Insignia Sports and Entertainment will be assisting with sponsorship and television elements associated with the highly-anticipated match. Details regarding media accreditation for the 2012 World Football Challenge will be announced the first week of June.
“We're excited to team up with CAA Sports and MLS to bring two of the most successful clubs in the world to Miami,” said Matt Higgins, CEO of RSE Ventures. “We’re pleased Chelsea FC and AC Milan are coming to the home of international soccer for an unforgettable match. Working with the Dolphins and Sun Life Stadium, we plan a full line up of summer soccer in what promises to be an annual tradition in Miami.”
Tickets start as low as $29 and go on sale at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, May 10 through all Ticketmaster outlets. With this game, Sun Life Stadium continues to establish itself as South Florida’s top venue for world-class international soccer. In August 2011, the FC Barcelona v. Chivas Guadalajara match drew 70,080 fans, setting a state attendance record for a soccer match. In February 2012, 51,615 saw Colombia take on Mexico.
“Miami is a soccer hotbed,” said Mike Dee, CEO of the Miami Dolphins. “This announcement continues the tradition of bringing world-class events to our facility.”
Chelsea FC, currently a finalist in the prestigious UEFA Champions League, will be visiting South Florida for the first time, led by international superstars such as Spanish forward Fernando Torres and English National Team standouts John Terry and Frank Lampard.
AC Milan last played in South Florida in 1994, when more than 57,000 fans saw them take on the Colombian National Team. The defending Italian champions boast a roster of top international stars, including Brazil’s Robinho and Pato, and Swedish forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
“We look forward to working with RSE Ventures, CAA Sports and Major League Soccer to help make a positive and tangible impact through creative and innovative branding around this great game,” said Peter Murray, CEO of Insignia Sports and Entertainment. “The demand for soccer in South Florida is at an all-time high and the fan experience at this event will be second to none.”
One of the largest and most successful soccer exhibitions ever staged in North America, the World Football Challenge brings together many of the world’s most accomplished and celebrated soccer clubs to play in major sports venues across the region. The event gives soccer fans the unique opportunity to see global superstars play live and experience first-hand the fast-paced, skillful competition that has made soccer the most popular sport in the world. Now in its third year, the World Football Challenge is hosted in partnership by CAA Sports and MLS. More than half a million fans attended the event last year and sports fans across North America will once again enjoy a summer of top international matches in 2012.<br />

Yes, not long ago Coach Shore assured the fans on <a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/ultrasalive/2011/11/01/miami-ultras-alive-30">Miami Ultras Alive #30</a> (see minute 21) that he expected to keep the majority of his ALMOST championship team. <br />
We've already seen a number of Strikers players packing their bags and moving to other teams. The latest was fan favorite <a href="http://www.strikers.com/index.php?id=31&newsid=1584">Martyn Lancaster,</a> who will be playing for the NASL's Atlanta Silverbacks in 2012. Lancaster was the winner of the latest fan voted Ultras MVP award. Martyn had become a symbol of the team. Fans identified with him as he was all heart on the field. He went as far as meeting with the Ultras after almost every game. He will be missed.<br />
Other players the Strikers are losing include midfielder <a href="http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2011/11/25/impact-sign-former-us-youth-international-arguez">Bryan Arguez </a>who is moving to the Montreal Impact, not to mention <a href="http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2011/11/24/chivas-usa-continue-shuffle-deck-2011-roster">Gerson Mayen</a>, who joins him (Gerson was on loan this past season from Chivas USA). Veteran <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eduardo_Coudet">Eduardo "Chaco" Coudet </a>who we know will not return. But most important is the almost certain loss of team scoring leader <a href="http://www.corren.se/sport/aff/?articleId=5859592&date&menuids">Brian Shriver </a>who is currently on trial with Swedish side Åtvidaberg AFF.<br />
