Practice Ends in Aggression Towards Journalist

By: Ivan | Comments No Comments

Apparently, a journalist from La Opinion was shoved and insulted by the CDCUSA pitch caretaker/manager (sorry, I’m not sure of the correct term) for taking pictures of Freddy Thompson’s closed practice in an adjacent field. According to CDCUSA rules, this is prohibited unless specifically allowed by the club.

Together we win, together we fall apart

By: Ivan | Comments No Comments

There isn’t much I can say after watching tonight’s game versus the Houston Dynamo. We didn’t penetrate deep enough to create, we relied too much on the long ball to Galindo, passing was off tonight, and our defenders were caught sleeping.
