For does who are interested the Islanders will have three pre-season games in Orlando, against U of South Florida, Panama City PDL team, and the USA sub-17 team. This game will be played on the 7, 10 and 13 of this month. Ill have to confirm where.
Odd that teams from Tampa, the Panhandle and Bradenton would all travel to Orlando to play a Puerto Rico team. But it is Orlando...
Orlando is the new New York, Puerto Ricans are flooding the city, so maybe thats why PR decided it would be a good idea to have pre-season there. Plus its also separates the team form any mayor distraction that the wouls have in PR. Stuff like that from what i have heard PR is heading strate from Orlando to Portland for the season opener, maybe get there a couple of days early so the boys can aclamated better, who knows.
04:46 p.m. Vencen los Islanders En el inicio de los partidos de pretemporada dominaron 6-1 al equipo de la Universidad de Central Florida. Por Luis Santiago Arce Los Islanders de Puerto Rico iniciaron hoy su serie de partidos pretemporada con una cómoda victoria 6-1 sobre el anfitrión equipo de la Universidad de Central Florida (UCF) en la ciudad de Orlando. Carmen Vanessa Figueroa, delegada de 'La Tropa Naranja' en el campo de entrenamiento, informó que los goleadores en el triunfo fueron Taiwo Atieno, Edwin Miranda, Noah Delgado y Fabrice, junto a Edson Elcock y Kerry Norey, dos nuevos integrantes de la plantilla. El reporte no incluyó datos adicionales. La agenda de juegos de los Islanders en el área de Orlando, aparte de sus sesiones diarias de entrenamiento, seguirá este jueves a las 9:30 a.m. contra la selección de Estados Unidos, y terminará el domingo 13 a las 3:00 p.m. con un choque frente a los Piratas de Panamá City, afiliados a la Liga Profesional de Desarrollo (PDL). El onceno boricua, bajo la dirección técnica del norirlandés Colin 'General' Clarke, está en preparación para el torneo Primera División 2008 de la 'United Soccer Leagues' (USL), que iniciará este sábado con visitas de Charleston a Miami y Montreal a Vancouver. La campaña de los Islanders abrirá el próximo jueves 17 visitando a los Timbers de Portland, previo a sus dos primeros juegos locales, el viernes 25 y domingo 27 contra Miami en el Estadio Juan Ramón Loubriel de Bayamón.
You said: So I said: To which you said: So, any idea what the attendance was at any of these matches? I mean if the reason they came to Orlando was because of the influx of Puerto Ricans.
The game against Panama City on the 13th is in Panama City not Orlando. Would not be surprised if the game against the USA 17s if it is played tomorrow will end up in Bradenton since the USA 17s do not do a lot of travelling.

I go to UCF, and didn't even hear about the Islanders playing us till today.....almost 2 weeks later. I'm pretty pissed, but ahh well (definitely need some more footy friends here in Central Florida, LoL) Anyhoo, what were the results of that match. Our website doesn't even list it
You all should've shut us out LoL, I hope this is a regular thing, as I wouldn't miss the next one... Thanx for the score though
