Miami FC Pub Cup First round/ Pregame Puerto Rico

Hello fellow hooligans, this is the Ultras "Lil Train wreck" giving you an update for the Miami FC Pub Cup. Tomorrow holds four matches to determine who moves onto the quarter finals. The match of the day is at 5:45 pm: The MIAMI ULTRAS vs Mickey Byrnes pub. The Ultras starting lineup is still up in the air, but may be as follows: Derek Reese, Zach Reese, Ed Serrano, Kyle Kaly, (and possibly) Juan Ruiz. The pub cup itself starts at 5pm with Fox and Hounds vs Waxy O' Connors and Frog and Toad vs The Kings Head pub. The 5:45 games will be The Miami Ultras vs Mickey Byrnes and Lion and Eagle vs Biddy Earlys.

After the Pub Cup is Played, the Miami FC Blues will face off against Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico is coming off of a tough draw vs the Tampons, and Miami is coming off of a decent losing streak. The Blues know how to win at home, but they have the ace in the hole of a tie if need be. The Miami FC Ties need people in the stands to get that emotional support to take on the cheating Ricans. Miami FC's game starts at 7:30. Come on and cheer on your Miami FC! Oi!
(Party in the city where the heat is on
All night on the beach till the break of dawn
Welcome to Miami)

Ultras Road Trip to Tampa. Blues tie 1-1 with Rowdies

A four hour plus road trip up North and the Ultras were in Tampa supporting Miami FC as they faced the Tampa Bay Rowdies. The game was delayed due to rain, we got soaked and a Rowdies fan threw a beer at me, thankfully missing, but wasting a perfectly good beer. Alcohol abuse!

Some 50 plus Miami fans came out to Steinbrenner field and danced to the beat of the Miami Ultras drums and cowbell. Tampa's security even told us they liked us better then the troublesome Ralph's Mob (Plus we are better looking too!). We never saw the Sock Mascot they have. I guess they didn't want to get their sock wet... They did have these weird bugs that I just had to take a picture of, see to the right. In the end, it was a fun drive up and we hope to see more Miami Fans make the trip to the next game at the end of the month!

The Blues held on to the ball for large portions of the game and while our midfield is strong we still seem to lack that Center Forward that can score goals a la Alex Afonso from a few years back or Romario from Miami FC's first season. Nonetheless we Ultras support our team to the bitter end.

Blues lose in Houston. Landon Donovan on Letterman (Video)

Miami FC fought hard but all for naught as the Houston Dynamo defeated the Blues in Houston. Paulo Araujo Jr and Christian Gomez were constantly mentioned on the radio broadcast for their constant attacks specifically in the first half. The man of the match for Miami in my opinion was Goalkeeper Caleb Patterson who stopped a penalty and many other shots by the Dynamo players to keep it close almost until the end.

Miami FC was eliminated from the U.S Open Cup by the Houston Dynamo (MLS) by a final score of 1-0 at Robertson Stadium in the third round of the competition. Despite numerous scoring opportunities and an acrobatic penalty kick save by Caleb Patterson, the Blues were unable to take advantage and suffered the shutout loss. Miami will travel to Tampa on Sunday, July 4th to square off against the up-state rival FC Tampa Bay Rowdies, for the second game of the “Coastal Cup”.

Landon Donovan on Letterman
Letterman congratulated Donovan on his and the team’s World Cup performance and for "bringing the country together." Saturday's match between the U.S. and Ghana was the most-watched soccer game in U.S. history, registering 19.4 million viewers on ABC and Univision combined.

"I thought we did a great job," Donovan told Letterman. "I think this time was a little more special 'cause I think we really felt the love back home and that made it really, really special for us."
