The Miami Ultras soccer supporters group participated in the Miami Soccer Festival that was held at Kendall Soccer park. The Ultras fielded a soccer team that this time was lead by Coach Mitch Rivera who replaced yours truly Uncle Ed.
The team had in it's majority, veterans from our first soccer team adventure at MLS Futbolito a few months back. We also had 3 rookies:
Dan "The Beast" Coyle, Brian "The Terminator" Kelly and Luis Miguel "El Terror de las Mujeres" Ojeda Jaramillo. Our only goal of the tournament was scored by veteran forward David "The Judge"Ito.
Our Ultras team proved once again that we shine as supporters and beer drinkers but we can't play if our lives depended on it! Still, the adventure was fun and we'll never let it get us down... No way Jose! As a matter of fact, the Ultras will be playing this weekend at the Pub Cup! Do you want to help us lift a trophy? Contact us on Facebook.
