The Burrito Report: Parte Uno Miami FC vs Cleveland City Stars

Hola Miami FC Fans!
(Click on highlighted words if you don't know the meaning of the word)
Some of you carnales might remember "The Burrito Report" back in the days of the Miami Fusion on Bigsoccer (Burrito has since been banned from Bigsoccer with a Red Cards... pinches putos!) and on the South Florida strikers forum (Now the Miami FC supporters forum). The Burrito Report is a weekly poop fest of nonsense abouts the games, the foods, the beers, the womens and everyting that happen in Miami FC games.
Todays Burrito want to makes fun of those chingados fallen "Stars" those guys from boring town no vato ever want to ever visit... Clevelands... ay Virgencita de Guadalupe! Que feo!
Now Burrito feel more sorrys for those putos cause Miami beat them so good 3-1! ...and for reals what does Cleveland really have there? Burrito never even hear of that city until some one say somethings about basketball! Burrito remember hearing Southern Legion guys yellings "Go back to Clevelands and stick with basketball! Without Lebron you guys ain't anything!" hahahaha... or for you Espanish speakers jajajaja (Just so you understands where Burrito coming from!)
Bueno, so basically except for goal from Haitian vato, los "Stars" really have nothing on fields, Miami FC beat those carajitos like Burritos mami used to beat him for stealing a quesadilla from neighbor back in Toluca, Mexico!Anyways, Burrito was proud to see all my carnales of the Ultras singings and telling Referee he is a Wanker! Cause he was!
Burritos only complaint is that there were no topless womens at game! Why? No cheerleaders eithers por el amor de Dios!
Pero Bueno, Burrito want to invite all my homeboys in Miami to not forget to go to the game this Friday vs those ugly peoples from Canada! You see how Canadians looks in South Park? They really do look like that! Chingada madre! No wonder we have war with them! Ok so Miami FC play the Impacts on Friday at 8pm at FIU stadium! Don't forgets! Tailgate party begin at 6pm in the parking lots! If you show up for tailgate look for Burrito and he give you a Quesadilla!
Vamos Miami FC! Dale por el chiquito!
For more on Burrito join him on myspace!

My voice is still recovering from all the yelling after Miami FC's victory over the Cleveland City Stars this past Saturday. I'm still excited that our players did such a good job. They really made us proud!

In our effort to keep people informed and updated on everything Miami FC, Pieter Brown president of the Miami Ultras, Miguel Mejia, Star Trek fan and master of all things football and yours truly (Uncle Ed) decided to continue Pieter's creation, a weekly podcast that we hope everyone will enjoy. Click here to listen: "Mindless Thoughts". We appreciate any feed back and constructive criticisms so that we can make it better. Be sure to check it out every week at the Miami Ultras site!

I was also quoted by Jeff Rusnack of the Sun Sentinel on Sunday:
"I used to drive up for the Fusion," said Ed Serrano, who drove from Kendall wearing a Fusion jersey and a Miami FC scarf. "I'll be at FIU for sure. I'll take more people to FIU. A lot didn't want to make the drive."

Montreal Impact at Miami FC (FIU Stadium)
Friday April 24 2009-8:00 PM
Be there! Vamos Miami FC!

Miami FC bring down the "Stars" in vibrant match at Lockhart Stadium.

What a great start to the USL season for Miami FC "Blues" as they defeated the Cleveland City Stars by 3-1

The Sun Sentinel's Jeff Rusnack wrote this quote from Ray Hudson:
"It's a wonderful night and a good atmosphere from the fans, especially with just two weeks' notice that they were playing here"
"Diego Serna, 35, made plays reminiscent of his Miami Fusion days in leading Miami FC to a season-opening victory."Miami Herald
"Miami FC opened its 2009 USL season with a 3-1 victory over the 2008 USL- 2 Champions, Cleveland City Stars." Miami FC site

The ambiance was electric, The Miami Ultras never ceased to yell and the Southern Legion also showed up to make their presence felt. Both fan groups competed in their chants; but remained firm in their resolve to Support their team till the end. Lockhart hadn't felt this alive since the Miami Fusion days and this marked the return of U.S. Professional Soccer in Broward County after years of absence.

The festivities never truly begin until the guest of honor has arrived, "the Goal". Alen Marcina scored the first off of a Diego Serna header to make it 1-0 but Cleveland leveled it as Haitian international Ricardo Pierre-Louis made it 1-1. The Stars couldn't enjoy it for long as Diego Serna scored on a break away to make it 2-1 Blues and finally Brazilian Leo Inacio Nunes made it 3-1 Miami FC off of another Serna pass.
It was Serna who put this team on his shoulders with a goal and two assist making him easily the man of the match. Notable mentions go out to Zach Kirby who was solid in the back and Walter Ramirez on the flank.

In the end the chants of "Diego, Diego, Diego" filled the stadium and the Miami FC players left with their heads up high. Next up the Montreal Impact at FIU stadium on Friday April 24 at 8pm!

"Miami Ultras Song"

Men have lived
And Men have died
Dreaming of
A team to pride

We toast the sun
We thank our stars
That we have
This team of ours

Good or Bad
They hold our fate
With feet so strong
They devastate
We praise -We pray for the great

(Chorus 3X)
M-I

What a fan
Of fans am I
Upper 90 in the net
M-I-A the safest bet

Over 100 players try out for Miami FC plus game pictures vs Lynn University

Our good friend Victor Palkaninec has taken excellent pictures of the game against Lynn University. You can see them at the Miami FC Fan Blog

Fans were out there supporting the team led by the Miami Ultras

After three 30 minute scrimmages the final score was 4-1 in favor of the Lynn University Fighting Knights. A Notable mention for Scott Gordon scored 3 goals and Alfonso Montagalvan who scored for MiamiFC.
"No one likes to lose, but I think it's important what the coaching staff took away from playing such a strong team like Lynn University," said General Manager Luiz Muzzi. "I think with what we saw today and what we have seen in the previous scrimmages we are moving closer to having our final roster." more at the Miami FC website

Something worth mentioning is that 110 people showed up to try out for the team. I spoke to one hopeful and he mentioned there would be another round of tryouts on Sunday and that they were told only 8 would be selected.

Miami Fans, get out there and support your Miami FC as they start their season on April 18 vs the Cleveland City Stars at Lockhart Stadium!All Pictures by Victor Palkaninec
