Blues snap losing streak, still might make playoffs plus Pictures and Video

It took 8 games for Miami FC to finally win one as they came from behind and scored an important victory over the Austin Aztex at FIU Stadium on Saturday. The fans led by the Miami Ultras came out on a wet night and were rewarded with a stellar performance by Midfielder Brian Shriver who was awarded man of the match.

Austin scored first but Leo Inacio Nunes tied the game for the Blues Alan Marcina put the team up 2-1 right before half time. The secon half saw King score the third goal and secured the 3 points. Zinho's new line up proved to be a good one. The additions of Shriver, Pizarro and Aaron King have made a difference. It seems King and Marcina up top is the right formula. Missing was Paulo Jr who in my opinion would mesh well with these new players.Miami lined up with Pat "The Man" Hannigan at goal, Tim Merritt, Junior Baiano, Jack Traynor and Zach "Beowulf" Kirby on Defense. Midfielders Jarryd Goldberg, Leo Inacio, Nelson Pizarro and Brian Shriver. Aaron King and Alen Marcina up top. For more on the game go to the Miami FC site.Miami FC still has a chance to make the playoffs but will need wins to make this happen.
The Blues will play at Lockhart Stadium this Tuesday, Sept. 8th at 8 p.m.

A special mention goes out to JRuiz and his crew who added that special flair with the 305 flag! They also added to the Ultras drum ensemble and were the winners of the Cow Bell tickets. Good job guys and we hope to see you at the rest of the games!

Let's go Miami we can do it! Check out these videos by Ultra Matt:

No Hulk, New Player, Cow Bells and Miami FC's last game at FIU stadium

Hulkamania will not be coming to FIU Stadium after all. Turns out the Hulkster canceled his South Florida dates. No further info was given.

While all the drama concerning USL's sale was going on, Miami FC signed a new player. He is Forward Aaron King who transferred last Friday. King, will be need up front as Miami's forwards have not been very efficient this year. Aaron was injured during the first half of the season, and comes by way of the Railhawks where he appeared in a total of six matches. As usual we never get much info out of the Miami FC site so I found this at the "Railhawks Report" Click Here

Miami FC signs Brazilian WC Veteran Junior Baiano

First it was Gale Agbossoumonde, defender for the U.S. Under-20 National team. Now Miami FC signs 1998 World Cup Veteran Junior Baiano to replenish a team plagued with injuries and recent transfers. The Blues have been struggling and the Brazilian will be a needed addition.

Raimundo Ferreira Ramos Júnior, known as Júnior (or adding demonym of Bahia state, became Júnior Baiano) (born March 14, 1970 in Feira de Santana, Bahia) is a Brazilian football centre back. He retired in the end of 2005, but in December 2006 he signed a professional contract with América from Rio de Janeiro to defend the club in Rio State Championship in the beginning of 2007. Baiano signed a contract with Brasiliense to play Série B Brazilian League in 2007
Baiano is an imposing 6ft 3in and will most likely be the target man on the team. No word yet if Junior will be available for this Friday's game versus the Minnesota Thunder at Lockhart Stadium.
For More info go to the Miami FC site.
