In the past two weeks Miami FC has been the revelation of USL. A team that came out of the starting blocks with only weeks of preparation yet their showing so far has been impressive. The one man that stands out the most in this team is Diego Serna. This player, at the twilight of his career has shown that he still has what it takes to play at a high level and I was lucky he granted me a few moments of his time.
Uncle Ed: I see you continue playing with number 17 , how do you see the team so far?
Diego Serna: It's a tranquil team, a noble team, a team that you have to guide due to the inexperience of a few players who are playing at this level for the first time. I think the number 17 is an important number for me as it continues the tradition I left behind with the Miami Fusion.
Uncle Ed: Yes, I understand and I have noticed many of the people are coming to the games because of that history that the Miami Fusion left behind (Particularly that final year 2001 with the best record in the league)
Which of the players on the team today do you think is an exciting player to play with?
Diego Serna: I like Leo Inacio Nunes who is a Brazilian player who handles the ball very well, he is a man that can play in a small area and who has a subtle touch. Orlando Bueso is another one who we know playing locally with Cinco Estrellas; he is a small player with an innate ability with the ball and good rhythm and from there on there are a number of players who in the short while I have worked with them have shown very interesting things.
Uncle Ed: What is your favorite Cuban food?
Diego Serna: Well, pinto beans and Pollo Tropical is one of the things I like the most! [Laughs]Uncle Ed: Do you have a message for The Ultras and Miami FC Fans in general?
Diego Serna: To all those people out there that love Soccer its time to support our Soccer team. Miami and Southern Florida is staying without Soccer, this is the only team we have and I'm in this team because I love Soccer and I love this game and I want to invite everyone, be it Sunday or Saturday however the calendar of the team is arranged. What we are doing now is building for the future and the years to come, we are not going to do what happened with Miami Fusion. We want to build this team for South Florida and the people who love Soccer like the Hondurans, Colombians, Brazilians, Argentinians, everyone needs to support Soccer and this is the time and this is the team. I want the fans to be a little patient with us and give us the opportunity to come to the games and get to know us. The fact that the fans come to the stadium it motivates the players and motivates the front office to continue to invest in the team. So please come out, we want to have a great team with world class stars! All pictures by Victor PalkanĂnec

The Rochester Raging Rhinos ended Miami FC's winning streak with a 2-1 victory at Lockhart Stadium.

Be sure to go to http://www.miamifc.com/ for ticket info or call: 305-728-2606

Oui Oui! Miami Defeats Montreal 2-1
Miami FC remain undefeated after last nights victory over the Montreal Impact by 2-1 on goals by Serna (penalty) and Leo Inacio. Gjertsen scored for Montreal.
The Miami Herald reports a very low attendance but there must be a mistake, it looked like at least 3 thousand out there as Miami FC played for the first time at FIU stadium.
Montreal dictated play in the first half and parts of the second but it is goals that win games and the rowdy Miami Ultras never ceased to chant and sing for their team.
"I am very happy with the players, with the work they put in the last twenty days, for this team to come out and win their first games is very impressive. It's like the Miami FC jersey is their second skin" said head coach Zinho on the Miami FC site
Miami will be without star forward Diego Serna for their game vs the Rochester Raging Rhinos after he was ejected after receiving a second yellow at the end of the game.
South Florida fans need to go out and support Miami FC as they play vs the Rhinos at Lockhart Stadium this Sunday April 26 at 6pm. We need everyone out there!
Vamos Miami!

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!

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!

Wearing FAKES
How poor is that, when you buy fakes? There are two ways to buy desinger fashion: first one: You can afford that shit... Second one: You can not afford it. In this case, it is how it is. Is it so important, that you even buy fakes? Don´t you think, it is a bit cheap? Don´t you think, there is a reason, why the desinger take so much money for their shit? They put their heartblood in their collections. (I don´t mean Christian Audigier...)
And there are many reasons, why I would never buy such stuff:
Everyone will notice it, that it is a fake. They use silly designs (Dolce&Gabbana would never do an all-over-print with their name on a shirt)
The quality is so bad, put the clothing 3 times into the washer... after that, the only thing, you can do with your cool and cheap thing is, put it in your trash can.
Or put it your drier... After that, you can put it on your doll, because you have size zero in your shirt.
The last reason, even if i could afford me an original LV bag (Not for me, for my girlfriend as a present...) I would never buy one, cause every cool chick got a fake LV,... And everyone would think, that my girlfriends bag is a fake, too...
So far so good.

Toronto lost out on Perlaza, I wish Miami FC could pick up Kaviedes and more
Toronto FC took too long making up their mind about Ecuador defender Jose Luis Perlaza as reported by Ecuadorean site CRE Satelital
Rumours on many sites indicated Perlaza was on Trial with Toronto but it seems they will miss out on this player. CRE continues that Perlaza, who used to play for Olmedo of Riobamba, is out of the country but will return in the next few days to be part of Barcelona SC of Guayaquil who have signed him for the remainder of the year.
On other news another Ecuador player and World Cup Veteran; Ivan Kaviedes was not able to sign with Liga of Portoviejo also of Ecuador. It seems today was the last day to signs players in that league and he remains free.
This striker/midfielder is one of the most experienced players in Ecuador having played in Spain, Italy, England, Mexico among other countries. This is a player I wish Miami FC could sign. Seems like Kaviedes is desperate to get playing minutes and at 31 he doesn't have much time to waste. MLS and USL teams need to hurry before some Middle East league with big bucks lure him!

Juicy Couture
How can you call a tracksuit label Juicy COUTURE?? The bright coloured Juicy trash is further away from couture than polar bears from South Africa. Every suburban teen girl spending too much time at homogeneous shopping malls wears that shit and is proud of it. How can you be proud of trackpants with the word juicy in enormous letters stretched all over your butt? (Of course it's even worse when you see it on a fat butt....) Why would anyone want to walk around in overpriced trashy clothes that became famous because Paris Hilton and Britney Spears are wearing them???

Miami FC assembles a group of Superheroes in their quest for the USL title
We are 4 days away from the beginning of Miami FC's season and we now have a team. South Florida fans hope this will be a team of Superheroes!
Brazilian World Cup winner Zinho has assembled a group that will be led by the experienced and one time Miami Fusion star Colombian Diego Serna. The team has now completed it's roster gathering a combination of youth with experience. The Miami Herald reports a few familiar faces, such as defender Chris Williams, midfielder John Pulido and forward Connally Edozien. Goalie Pat Hannigan who played with the team back in 2007.
A few notable players are El Salvador national team member Edwin Miranda, Tim Merritt, Zach Kirby, Jack Traynor, and Kenny Schoeni, a goalie formerly of the Columbus Crew. Local players: Danny Vasquez, Nicky Torres, Richard Perdomo and Orlando Bueso.
Previously Miami FC's site had reported the signing of one time MLS All-star Facundo Erpen, Brazilian midfielder Leo Inacio Nunesone, defenders Cristiano Dias and Walter Ramirez, midfielder Jarryd Goldberg and Ex Cuban national team members Pedro Faife and Reinier Alcantara.
Most notable is the signing of Georgian Zourab Tsiskaridze who was one of over 100 players that tried out for the team and actually signed.
"After three seasons at Tropical Park and an off season in which it nearly folded, Miami FC is now a team with two homes: Lockhart and Florida International University's football stadium. Thus far, the Blues have committed to play at Lockhart at 8 p.m. Saturday April 18th and at 6 p.m. April 26 vs. Rochester. They will play Montreal on April 24 at FIU. The remaining 12 games are to be determined." said the Sun Sentinel's Jeff Rusnak

Ed Hardy
Do you noticed the Tribal-Tattoo-T-Shirts? I was glad, that this "trend" was over. But this trend was replaced trough an other "trend"... You now, what im talking about... Ed Hardy. It all started with super fancy caps with sparkling stones on it. Why do a man have to wear unreal diamonds on a cap. I think, it is very pussy-like. Please don´t misunderstand me. I love Tattoos. I got many collectet on my skin. But I don´t understand, that Don Ed Hardy sold his soul to the devil aka. Christian Audigier. He is calling himself a Desingner. But why? It is not a big thing, to print oldschool tattoo desings on simple T-Shirts? And there is NO reason, really no reason, to pay 120 bucks and more for an T-Shirt. FOR A SHIRT. Me, as a tattoo fanatic, would rather use the money for a real tattoo. But the most people, that wear Ed Hardy, even don´t have the nuts, to get a real tattoo. Why? Because it hurts, sucker.
And remember that, it is not cool in any way, even if the "stars" like Britney, Madonna or Ja Rule wear that shit. C´mon. Don´t you have an own style? And you don´t become a "star" only wearing that.
And why do this world need Ed Hardy Coffee, Ed Hardy sweets, Ed Hardy Drinks, Ed Hardy Toys... And the best thing, I saw: A Ed Hardy Smart (little german car). Do they think, it makes a uncool car cooler? If yes, her is the truth: It does not make it cooler. No. It just makes it more expensive.
Does anybody really knowes, who Ed Hardy really is? If not, i´m telling you: He is a Tattoo Artist. Not a desinger, what everybody thinks. He was born in 1945 in Iowa. He startet tattooing beside studying in the late sixties. He still runs a Tattoo Studio in San Francisco.

Celebrity clothing lines
I'm so sick of so-called 'celebrities' starting their own clothing lines. What makes them think they are qualified for that? One outfit (chosen by a stylist!!!) on the best-dressed list?? Young designers are struggling to survive and these already overpaid people just print their names on some tacky stuff to earn even more money. On one hand they're supporting charity causes and on the other they let children in sweatshops produce their 'collections'. What's even worse about it is that people are stupid enough to buy that shit!
And... if you're a 'celeb' with no talent at all you just bring out a jewellry collection....

Harem pants
Lately I've seen girls running around in harem pants everywhere. It's not cool to walk around and look like you just shat in your pants. The trousers look unfavourable unless you have the legs of a supermodel. Stumpy legs are so not sexy!! So please don't wear them if you're not A) a supermodel, B) from India or Arabia or C) an actress playing a 1001 nights princess!!!!!
Fauxhawks
Why would anyone want to look like this?
Over the last few years the Fauxhawk gained popularity in some European countries (most notably in Austria and Germany). It all started out with David Beckham who sported this (un)do first. Another famous representative of the fauxhawk is Portugese football player Christiano Ronaldo who's still wearing it. On the streets you can see this trashcut mainly on people who spent too much time on a tan bed and are wearing Ed Hardy clothes. They're usually showing up in groups and I think the one with the highest hair on top of the head is the leader of the gang aka the super-cock. In Austria they're called 'Krocha', in Germany 'Hollywoodturks'. All that the Austrian Krocha care for is party and all that the German Hollywoodturks care for is fighting. Their faces always show a certain stupidity and they're always trying to act quite tough. But they are not tough at all that's why they're wearing their tattoos on t-shirts and trucker hats!
