AC Milan confirmed today that Kaka has a loophole in his contract, says he leaves for free if no CL next year.
Which means he can leave for free. They're already ruled out of the CL. They're 22 pts out of the CL with 7 matches to go.
Does anybody read Italian? Orlando City Soccer Club: doppio acquisto in Italia? http://www.calciomercato.com/news/o...al&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer
If you perform a Google search, then link on the page, you should get an option at the top to translate the page to English. Worked for me in Chrome, anyway. https://www.google.com/#q=Orlando+City+Soccer+Club:+doppio+acquisto+ Looks like they are basically saying that OC is trying to sign Ambrosini as well as Kaka. The translation may not be all that accurate, however.
A 37 year old will be very useful for Orlando in MLS.. not. http://www.football-italia.net/47180/ambrosini-join-kaka-orlando
Orlando City SC to host Serie A club AS Roma for second straight year in May http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/artic...host-serie-club-roma-second-straight-year-may
http://www.bizjournals.com/orlando/blog/2014/04/exclusive-sunrail-drives-orlando-city-soccer-to.html Exclusive: SunRail drives Orlando City Soccer to move downtown "Phil Rawlins, team president, told Orlando Business Journal about 75 back-office employees will move from Winter Park to a new approximately 15,000-square-foot space in the GAI Building on Summerlin Avenue and South Street later this year" I thought the SSS was going to have team offices there? But maybe the bulk of the employees will be housed at GAI, while upper management will be at the SSS. Also, I do not know why OCSC is pushing the SunRail "bit" for matchday? For the foreseeable future SunRail will not be running on the weekends. And by chance if there is a weekday match SunRail stops running by 930-10pm.
I can see them deciding to use it for gamedays for the Magic, Orlando City, and possibly even the Solar Bears, sooner rather than later. There's too much money to be made off of it.
Amtrak runs now on weekends and the Sunrail is suppose to do that some day. But as you noticed nothing runs southward after noon as of now and the sunrail doesn't plan on getting to Winter Haven for several years. I guess they think folks from up north (Sanford, et al) will take the train to the games.
I didn't even know there were plans to bring it to Winter Haven. The furthest south I've seen it is Poinciana. I can't imagine it'll serve Winter Haven (ergo, Legoland) until rail service comes to Disney and Universal.
I only know what the paper has said here. That the plan is commuter rail from W.H. to Orlando in 2016. I am sure it will not run Sat. nights to get us home from the games so it is useless to me.
Yeah, That's the first time I heard to WH as well. The main reason for SunRail not running on weekend and weekday nights is so CSX can still move their cars. From what I've read its a pretty strict contract... for now.
New Info: http://www.bizjournals.com/orlando/blog/2014/04/orlando-city-soccer-signs-deal-to-move-office.html "The team, which had a the deal in the works to sublet the 18,630-square-foot office formerly occupied by XOS Digital Inc. in the GAI Building, executed a five-year lease agreement on April 16. Orlando City Soccer will be going into about 11,600 square feet of the space right away and has options to expand into the remaining space."
Have to give props to OC planning two friendlies at home in may with a lot of appeal to them. Tampa Rowdies on WED for the I4 Derby will bring the Rowdies supporters as well and now a match against AC Roma on mat 23rd. Florida is really becoming the state to be in for soccer at the pro club level and international level.

A crowd of 4K plus seems like a pretty good crowd for a weeknight game. Tampa will get one more shot at OC before they head to MLS in 2015. I am not sure an MLS OC team will agree to a derby during the regular season. I could see OC agreeing to a one off final pre season tune up at Tampa every year
But then we will be playing trialists and "B" teamers like the St. Pete team supposedly did Wednesday. They will play their top flight to brag they beat an MLS side.
Exactly. They might take it seriously right when Orlando stops. However I am not sure Heath ever takes things not-seriously. That man is intense, and I say that as fan of Jason Kreis!
Did you hear the soccercast? http://www.orlandocitysoccer.com/news/OC_SoccerCast/ he really wants to win it for the hard working folks who pay their money to watch the boys play. I think he'll always want to beat St Pete.
