JPA Jr is Cold



If this little nipper's skills look familiar you're not tripping. It's because he's Juan Pablo Angel's son Tomy. Anyone have an opening in their academy for the junior cherub? What say you LA or NY? Can you take him in as a "legacy" player or is it only frats that do that?

Last Night's Party: All Star Game Edition

MaxRussell

Here's photo of Russell Simmons and Maxwell in one of the skyboxes at the All Star game and it pretty much sums up the scene in the suite level last night at Red Bull Arena: moneyed people much more famous than you or I with Blackberries and wine glasses at the ready. Oh and models. Lots of models.

I ran through the suite level at half time to chat with an acquaintance who is baller enough to get invited up there and in the 10 minutes I spent among the beautiful people I clocked Maxwell, Simmons, Tyson Beckford (a trifecta of 1990's black starpower), Ethan Hawke, Gerard Butler, Kelly Ripa and Ed Westwick off of Gossip Girl. And again, models. LOTS of models. Leggy, improbably beautiful models. It was like a casting call for America's Next Top...you know.

I missed the after parties though last night as I didn't get back into the city from the stadium until 1:45am. So I missed the official afterparty at the Highline Ballroom and skipped out on the crew that was heading to 1 Oak. And they sure as s*** weren't going to let me in to Tenjune so I called it a night after a long 5 days of practices, parties and photo ops.

So the celeb-spotted for me ended there. I'm slippin', I know. But if you guys see any photos or videos out there of famous-types from last night though drop me an email. Need my celebrity glory-seeking fix.

The Don Talks The Twitters


About halfway through this clip The Don talks social media and gives a pretty balanced and honest statement on the wonder and danger of Twitter. You should watch it. Or not. Really it's up to you.

Philly "In The Mix" for ASG 2012



Any betting men out there willing to put money down on Philly to host the next All Star game? I have no inside info on this but I'd favor them over other candidates like K.C. --which hosts the MLB All Star game in 2012-- and Houston, who have to be a favorite for MLS Cup 2012 with a gleaming, new AEG-backed stadium in a warm-weather market on the way.

But who knows. Maybe Montreal grabs a big event right out of the box in their expansion year. And let's not forget that the allure of the Pacific Northwest is always hard to ignore. Damn, there really are a lot of options.

Remember when there were so few SSS you predict the ASG and MLS Cup hosts like clockwork? Seems like forever ago. Now you need Chris Angel, an unmanned CIA drone and a Ouija board to figure that s*** out. Times have changed y'all, times have changed.

Bill Hamid is Ready for His Closeup



I know Juan Agudelo is the poster child for MLS Home Grown Players but you could argue, probably with ease, that Bill Hamid is making a bigger impact for his club than Juan Juan. He may not have the adidas endorsement, the USMNT call ups or the TV commercials but he starts on the reg...something that Agudelo doesn't do.

Check out the clip above for a lengthy look at the life & times of Bill Hamid. Show of hands: who thinks this big kid could woop their ass? I can't be the only one.

Judah Friedlander x 2011 MLS All Star Game



Remember a few weeks ago when I ran into Judah Friedlander, The World Champion, at a party? This is what came out of it. Big man can move, right?

So let this be a lesson to all the young kids hustlin' out there on how this whole "networking" thing works: you go to a party, have a drink with someone preferably more juiced than you, talk about work, and spin it in to Youtube gold.

(said in 50 Cent voice) I love New York!

Nothing says "wedded bliss" in a time of 50/50 divorce rates like bespoke Seattle Sounders garter belts. Guys, if she'll rock your club colors on her special day she's a keeper. And ladies, if you do this you can hold it over his head every time you want him to do something undudelike* like hold your purse while you shop Anthropologie or go to Duane Reade for feminine hygiene products. It's a win-win.

State of Disarray: Who's to blame?

DISCLAIMER: The following piece is written by Gefilte Fish and was published in my sole discretion. The following thoughts are not necessarily the thoughts or belief of FMB.


This season has been frustrating for us all, but the past weeks have been rough on us all. Before I get to my rant, Ill give the comatose striker fans a brief overview:

LAST FOUR GAMES:
Tampa 4-2 Strikers
Atlanta 3-2 Strikers
Montreal 1-1 Strikers
Islanders 3-1 Strikers

In recent weeks, We've dropped TOO MANY GAMES. As a Striker liker, I have to ask: "WHO'S FAULT IS IT?"

First off, Coach Daryl Shore.
In recent weeks, He has had some absolutely astounding failures in the coaching department. Whether it be his complete inability to manage substitutions, or struggling to find a spot for players everywhere except for in our swiss cheese of a defense; He needs to shape up or ship out.

Next, The Players.
The original Fort Lauderdale Strikers were about being the players with heart, drive, and talent to be on top of the sport. When we Floridiots heard that the Strikers were coming back, they gave us hope that MAYBE we could put together a dignified team. What did we get? We got a bunch of party boys, and heartless money-minded players who care more about hitting up downtown every night and getting laid in "the city where the heat is on" instead of thinking about what they need to work on while playing.

The closest we have to the REAL STRIKERS are;
a)Martyn Lancaster: Injured
b)Zach Kirby: Recently Retired
c)Matt Glaeser: Injured

The farthest thing from the old strikers are:
a)Bryan Arguez: Great player, but HANG UP AND PLAY
b)Le Petit: Now in LA, but while here he partied like Charlie Sheen

Finally, the front office.
The idea of traffic sports bringing the strikers name back was despised by many because people thought that we would have no chance at a real team because of the joke of a budget and track record of Miami FC. At the beginning of the season, I defended them til death. Now, I can't fight anymore. Everything said about them being cheap, more focused on the almighty dollar than putting a decent product on the field.

Now the team's true scorer Chacho Coudet is suspended for 6 games, Daryl Shore had an "Altercation" with a Puerto Rican announcer, and the team's morale is far from good. Coming from the loudest, biggest Striker Liker there is; It boils down to this:

If there is anyone in the organization who doesn't feel fit to continue with the club, ILL PROUDLY TAKE YOUR PLACE! I AM A PROUD STRIKER LIKER WHO CARES ABOUT CONTINUING THE LEGACY!

The New York Cosmos: Now with Brian McBride!

CosmosTest

So here it is. The first non-youth team that will don the colors of the fabled NY Cosmos since the Reagan administration. What do you think? There’s some great old names there like Fabio Cannavaro, Brian McBride and Brad Friedel but there’s quite a lot of young blood from the academy.

Sure, they’ll most likely be sacrificial lambs for Paul Scholes' going out party but hey, there are worst things to achieve as a young American soccer player than playing alongside Patrick Vierea and Gary Neville against Manchester United at Old Trafford wearing the same kit that Pele & Beckenbauer wore. Basically it’s like being in an Oasis cover band and still getting to play Wembley.

Sanna Nyassi is The Baddest Man in MLS, Today™



Some of you have read the title of this post and now believe I am inexplicalbly more full of sh*t than usual. You're saying to yourself "Sanna Nyassi is the baddest man? C'mon son." I know it sounds crazy but we're talking about today people; after the dirt he did to RBNY last night dude deserves some sort of recognition, even if it comes from an aging manic-depressive with a Blogspot account.

Sorry Caleb Folan, but you have just been styled on in the Conor Casey replacement stakes; get comfy on that bench cousin.

Brek Shea, I Believe in You. Your Magic is Real.



I'm going make a statement that you may or may not disagree with: Brek Shea is on his way to being the second-coming of Clint Mathis, adventurous hair-styling choices and all. Dude is southern, speedy, has a penchant for making winding runs through lackadaisical defenses, and is not afraid to hit a ballsy-ass ball from distance. It's enough to make me feel all nostalgic for the days of the POGO Lounge.

And if that wasn't enough to make me sweat him like a Texas summer, he put Torsten Frings on his ass in his MLS debut; he makes me proud to be an American.

It's official: everyone has had something to say about the Women's World Cup except for me. Once the former bass player for Guns n' Roses/Velvet Revolver chimes in on Wambach, Morgan, Rapinoe & co. you know the USWNT lovefest has officially turned into FrontRunnerPalooza. Can't wait to hear what Bobby Dall out of Poison has to say about the ladies during next year's Olympics; I bet he's got some awesome hairstyling tips for some of the longer-haired players.

Hope Solo and Abby Wambach on Letterman, MagicJack Fan website and more...

Most of us in South Florida who know of the existence of magicJack, the Women's Professional Soccer team playing in Boca Raton, have been wondering why the owner of the team (Dan Borislow) has not made a real website or even done some type of marketing for a team filled with stars who in their majority play for the U.S. Women's national team that recently played and lost the final versus Japan.

One of the fans recently took it upon herself to create a website and twitter account to get the word out. As the fan stated she just "Got tired of waiting for magicJack to make a website, so I just did it myself: http://www.wpsmagicjack.com/ "
You've got to admit it looks much better than the website the team has on the WPS site. MagicJack's website is http://www.womensprosoccer.com/dc
MagicJack also has a facebook page that seems to be run by FAU students.

Hal Habib of the Palm Beach Post recently wrote:
MagicJack includes two of the highest-profile members of the U.S. team: Hope Solo, considered the world's top goalkeeper, and forward Abby Wambach, who scored the dramatic 122nd-minute goal against Brazil.

Other national-team members of magicJack are reserve goalkeeper Jill Loyden, defenders Christie Rampone and Becky Sauerbrunn, and midfielders Shannon Boxx and Megan Rapinoe.
Read the full article HERE

As soccer fans we here at FMB really want MagicJack to be successful and hope that the team takes advantage of this World Cup hype, but playing at a 1500 person field is a disservice to the quality players the team has and to the fans. It would be beneficial to MagicJack to play a double header with the Fort Lauderdale Strikers at Lockhart Stadium just down the road South from Boca Raton. We feel both teams would benefit from the exposure this would give.We hope both organizations could team up for the good of soccer in South Florida.

Hope Solo and Abby Wambach on Letterman
Talk about the World Cup hype all over the internet and social sites... you can see evidence of how America has embraced the USWNT everywhere. Proof of this can be read in all the national newspaper headlines and watched on TV. Two of magicJacks star players Hope Solo and Abby Wambach appeared last night on David Letterman. We were able to record a couple of segments that you can see below.




Here is the part where Abby and Hope kicked soccer balls at New York City cabs:




magicJack's game vs Western NY Flash will now be shown LIVE on Fox Soccer Channel tomorrow Wednesday at 7:30p ET.Be sure to check it out and support magicJack and the WPS.

The Hangover 3 Might Be a Little Different Than the Sequel

Wolfpack

I wonder what happened after Dave Sarachan met Zack Galifianakis. Did they drive straight to Vegas and wild out? Did they grab Mike Magee on the way and dress him up like Bradley Cooper just for sh!ts and gigs? And will they repeat the exact same evening 2 years from now and call it a sequel? We need answers people!

Messi x Ray Hudson x The Wizard of Ox



The Wizard of Ox is Crazy Ray Hudson, Barcelona and house music all at once; if this isn't the most Miami thing you've seen all day your name is either Luther Campbell, LeBron James or Franco Panizo.

NSR: M83 "Midnight City"



Sh!t. Yes. Anthony Gonzalez is back with more of the maudlin electro-pop that made Saturdays = Youth so cotdamn unimpeachable but with a pinch of the great, grating texture of Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts. This is what I will be listening to for the rest of the day. Or at least until The Wizard OX drops another prog-house remix featuring Ray Hudson.

Conor Casey's Season is Dunzo

Casey

You may have heard at some point that the guy who killed Abe Lincoln shot him in a theater and hid in a warehouse and that the guy who allegedly killed JFK shot him from a warehouse and hid in a theater. It's not totally true as Lincoln's killer was actually caught in a barn. Either way, it's still spooky.

So is the fact that Colorado lost Conor Casey for the remainder of the year while playing away to Seattle, a team that lost Steve Zakuani while playing away at Colorado.

Somewhere in the Puget Sound area there is a smug, misguided guy on a couch wearing a "Karma's a Bitch" T-shirt who's happy about this.

NSR: The Horrible Crowes "Behold The Hurricane"



My love for The Gaslight Anthem is well-documented so I will not regale you with further confessions of affection for Brian Fallon and co. I will however mention that Fallon has a new side project called The Horrible Crowes and basically songs like GA on the mellow although Fallon says this is his chance “to experiment with the darker side of soul music.”

Have a listen to “Behold the Hurricane”, the first track the The Horrible Crowes debut, and draw your own conclusion.

Top Skills Vol. 29



Enough between-the-legs moves, ankle-breaking and fist-pumping to fill an entire season of Jersey Shore.

VIDEO: They Were The NY Cosmos



Hate 'em if you want but no one does NASL-era nostalgia like the Cosmos and I ain't mad at that. You use what tools you've got.

I just wonder why the Earthquakes weren't milking this cow years ago. Why not flaunt George Best scoring the illest goal of the disco era? How about some footage of Guus Hiddink running the midfield back in the day cut with a clip of him running things from the touchline now? Or maybe some grainy, weepy footage of Celtic legend Jinky Johnstone?

I'm not trying to say that the current 'Quakes staff are doing a bad job or the the Cosmos are 100% crushing it. Hindsight being 20-20 and all it just seems like San Jose missed an opportunity back in 1999.

VIDEO: Tina's Tips








Thank God/Allah/The Great Pumpkin that Tina Cervasio did this. If someone with a Y chromosome would have gathered a bunch of ladies together to drink champers and teach them about soccer with a bit of player beefcake on the side it might be deemed condescending and sexist (those things are frowned upon, you see). But since Tina is doing it it's cool. Right?

Strikers make player movements. Zach Kirby Retires, Gerson Mayen loaned from Chivas

Strikers defender and 2009 player of the year Zach Kirby has announced he will retire from soccer today after multiple injuries which have kept him out of many games in his career. Known to the fans as "Beowulf", Zach was one of the best players on the team and considered by many too good to be playing 2nd division soccer.
Kirby went to school at Boston University. His final season he was the 2006 All-America East Conference Defender of the Year, College Soccer News All-American, among other honors. This bought him to the attention of Alexi Lalas and he was drafted by the Los Angeles Galaxy in 2007. Zach became the answer to a trivia question as he was released to free up a roster spot for David Beckham. He finished out the year playing for the USL Wilmington Hammerheads. 2008 saw him return home to play for the Atlanta Silverbacks where he was named the player of the year by fans. With Atlanta sitting out the 2009 season Zach traveled south and became a member of the Miami FC Blues. In 2009 he was named by the fans the player of the year (as you can see in the picture).
Back in March of 2010 we were able to interview him for this blog. Here is a portion of the interview made by Robert Scorca:
RS: You had a successful college career and were drafted by the L.A. Galaxy. Even though your stay was brief are there any memories you care to share?
ZK: Yes. I remember it like it was yesterday. Defending Landon Donovan was one of the many highlights.

For more be sure to check out the Strikers website.

Incoming
In other news the Strikers recently signed 23 year old Colombian Midfielder Walter Restrepo who most notably has played with Colombian team Boyaca Chico.
“We are excited to add Walter to our group,” said head coach Daryl Shore. “He will be an exciting, attacking option for our team.”
For more on Walter Restrepo go HERE


Chivas USA midfielder Gerson Mayen has been sent on loan to the Strikers according to ESPN
Gerson is already in South Florida and started his first practice today. Mayen is no stranger to South Florida as he played for Miami FC briefly last year and showed great promise being part of the group that gave the team an extended win streak. You can read more about Gerson in a report we made last year.

It might not be nestled amongst the skyscrapers like Seattle's multi-use building but this is definitely in the downtown core even if it is a little on the edge. Good stuff Houston.

Angry Strikers Fans want the Strikers to play with Huevos! By Burrito

Burrito not write in long times cause he peed-off with Los Estrikers!
The team is playing like poopoo! They need to play with huevos! Don't they know who used to wear the Red and Gold? Don't they know Burrito's compadre Ray Hudson used to wear #4? Or that Teófilo Cubillas used to wear #10?
Burrito ponders, Burrito chews on chew toy, then bites an old chicken bone, then back to chew toy... No, nobody tell them Burrito thinks... Nobody tell them the Strikers once had the great George Best or Der Bomber Gerd Müller. No, if someone tell them then maybe the players would play with their corazones!
Burrito not the only one mad at the Strikers.

Here a carnal called Pabony (like a pony but with an A & B) Rivera even makes up a word for how bad these putos play. "Whooreotious" or somethings like that.
Listen here:
Whooreotious by Pabony-Rivera

Pero that not the only bitching being done in Strikerland, No señor! Here Burrito's amigo and one time Afusionados President Andrew Hazelton talk about how he want to change the pinche U.S. Soccer Federation! That how much he think los Estikers are sucking! Here is a little of what Andrew says on his article called "Where do we go from here?":
"The reality is that professional clubs should create professional players. Universities should create scholar athletes and youth soccer programs should create youth soccer players. To each its own responsibility and they don’t mix well. And it is the dysfunctionality of the league system, allowed by an irresponsible Fed - that is the root cause of the lack of professional player development."
Read more at MiamiSoccerFan

Burrito hate to mention Bigsoccer, since those putos give Burrito a red card and kick him off the Estupid forum. (They just hate Burrito cause he get all the bitches!) Pero on the Strikers Forum you can read how everyones want the coaches head! (Pobrecito). You can check it out HERE

So, finally El Presidente Pieter Brown and Uncle Ed had a bitch festival on the Miami Ultras Alive radio show on Monday. Everybody and their momma called in. Burrito let you listen here:

Not That You're Concerned But...



I'm on vacation this week so unless Big Name Player X signs with the league expect very little from me other than BBQing, beach bumming and generally lounging around. Before I go though check out this superb fan-made video on the Fire's prior U.S. Open Cup glory. Good stuff from the men & women of Section 8.
