Phil, John and I went to Tampa for the game yesterday - great to see how much support they drew but the field - urgh! We sat level with the half way line but because of having to avoid the mound, the right half of the the field was much further away and the touch line was blocked by the advertising boards. I hate to think what will happen if it rains - the ball bounced very differently on the two surfaces. I know we moan about the lines at House but they suddenly didn't seem so bad.
We were joined by many of the USL front office plus a group of coast guards that Phil and Adrian had met in a restaurant the night before. Turns out one of them was from Austin so he brought 5 of the other coast guards with him to the game to cheer on our lads. We were very disappointed with the draw - the last penalty decision was a joke - but we are unbeaten so far on the road and joint second in the table.
The English Premier League is over and Stoke City finished in a respectable 11th place. Seems to have some last minute drama in the dressing room and in the tabloids and now, the supporters are unhappy with the new Adidas kit. It DOES appear to be a bog-standard red Adidas shirt with added logos.
On a happier note, the World Cup starts soon so all will be forgotten as the whole country comes to a standstill to watch the games. It is quite eerie to drive around any town or city when England are playing and to not see a soul! England play the US on June 12th - it's an afternoon kick off then the Aztex take on the Whitecaps that same evening. Should be a great day all round.
I'm looking forward to our next game on Sunday - I'm hoping that many of the folks who came out for the Haiti game will return, a big crowd cheering on the lads would be awesome.
Go Aztex!
