    For the rest of us.. here is the latest Press release.


    Press Release
    Miami, May 23, 2007 - Miami FC won both games at the Orange Bowl last weekend defeating the Minnesota Thunder 1-0 and the Atlanta Silverbacks 2-1. The victory puts Miami FC into 4th place with a record of 3-3. Miami hopes to use this momentum to continue to climb atop the United Soccer Leagues standings.



    Being able to gain 6 points was important for overall team moral. To accomplish that in two games is not easy. It was a huge step in the right direction, commented Miami FC President Aaron Davidson after the victory. Considering the number of home games it was important to win at home with a front loaded home schedule.


    The Orange Bowl was the largest stage many of the young Miami FC players had ever played on, but for one it was just another walk in the park. Zinho, a world cup champion, seemed at home scoring a goal in each of the wins. His performance is spectacular coming off less than 48 hours rest running on 39 year old legs.


    The rest of the Miami FC players seemed to raise their level of play to the level of the historic Orange Bowl. A sense of urgency and focus could be sensed from everyone in attendance. The second half of the Sunday night?s game may prove to be the turning point of the season.


    Miami FC players, Zinho, JP Rodrigues, and Pat Hannigan, were named to the USL Team of the Week. JP Rodrigues defended extremely well in both wins, and goalkeeper Pat Hannigan recorded his first shutout of the season.


    Miami FC hits the road this weekend playing two very difficult opponents. They start the weekend Friday night in Montreal. The game will be broadcast live on the Fox Soccer Channel. The Impact are 3-0-2 on the season with one of the victories coming against Miami FC.



    Miami FC will be without its three Haitian players this weekend. Jamil Jean-Jacques, Gabard Fenelon, and Stephane Guillaume joined their countrymen to play for their national team.



    Montreal s goalkeeper Matt Jordan recorded his second shutout of the season in the Impact s latest victory against the Seattle Sounders 2 to 0. Team captain Mauro Biello injured his right leg, and he will miss the next two weeks.



    Miami FC then will face the Rochester Raging Rhinos Sunday at 6 pm. Rochester will be playing their first home game after a five game road trip. They lost their last match 3-1 to the Vancouver Whitecaps.



    The Raging Rhinos are led by Johnny Menyongar. Menyoungar has four goals and an assist on the season.
