Miami FC loses yet again. We suck again!

Sadly Miami FC lost again this past weekend. We are now in last place and its not looking pretty! What can we say at this point? Can we really, realistically make the playoffs? Can our new coach Daryl Shore pull a rabbit out of his hat and turn things around? It's difficult for a coach to make things happen with a team he didn't pick. But we hope the coach has that magic.
We all say that on paper, Miami FC has a good team. But, the mix of Ex-MLS players and youth hasn't panned out. We have seen a weak defense this year. It doesn't help that our best player in the back, Zach Kirby, has been hurt for large portions of the year. Even a great goalkeeper like Caleb Patterson can't stop every shot. (Talk about Caleb, check out his new blog on the Blues site "Don't fear the keeper" ).
Our other weak point is our forwards. We just can't score. We need a Romario or Alex Afonso up front.
We can only hope things turn around for the better in the weeks to come. It's not unheard of that a team could make a come back. But do we have what it takes?
Maybe it's time to start building for 2011, the year of the Strikers!

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."

Why? How many time you homeboys going to tease Burrito with all these ties? Sure, we undefeated pero that still don't fly with Burrito when we only tie at home!

This year we finally have a great team on papers starting with one time MLS MVP Christian Gomez. We also have players with mucho experience in MLS like Abe Thompson, Chris Gbandi, Mike Randolph and Lance Parker. So why the slow start?
In defense we look strong starting with Caleb Patterson who has been solid in goal so fars. Burrito can't complain about the back cause they doing okey dokey.
From the midfield up it seems to be the problemo. Only 3 goles so far one by Mister Abe Thompson in the last game so we hope now that Abe score one we hope Abe score many more as he be our best hope up tops!
The rest of the goles come from Christian Gomez and Edward Santilez. Burrito believe Miami FC need to half more shots from the outside. Then we can score like crazys!

Ok so a word from Burrito to the players... "Time to grab your cojones before game and go out there and make those pinches NSC Stars your bitches!"

The Blues visit the NSC Stars this Saturday May 15, 2010 at Minnesota so the official watch party will be at America's Backyard in Downtown Ft Lauderdale.

It's great to have these two quality goalkeepers on the team. They are both very young but have the necessary experience to come in and make an immediate impact. In the midfield, Sean has played with us before and we're glad to have him re-join Miami this year. Gabriel is an exciting young prospect with international experience under his belt.
