NOTE:

Watching Event: Austin Aztex at Carolina RailHawks Watching Party begins on Friday (Tomorrow) at 6 p.m. at Mister Tramps Sports Pub & Cafe. Please get here early because here are some reason why YOU SHOULD BE THERE.

1) We have the big room with the big screen to ourselves that evening.

2) Very soccer friendly atmosphere. Meaning no NFL and MLB games or fans to get distracted from watching soccer.

3) No college throwball games (since UT fans will be traveling to Big D for the weekend).

4) Contest to win some Aztex playoff tickets perhaps?

5) It's FREAKING FRIDAY !!!! What better way to get off from work than to head to Mister Tramps to get a cold beer after a hard days work.

6) You get to hang out with very cool and hip Austin Aztex fans & Chantico's Army members. If that doesn't get you excited, I don't know what does. ;-)

7) You get to see & witness the Aztex (hopefully) clinch the USSF D2 League title with a win at Carolina.

So I hope to see you this Friday evening. GO AZTEX!!!!

NOTES:

Apologies for the highlights of the game in which

1) The 1st 2 Aztex goals were either not good in quality or cut off from the build of play.

2) The last 2 Aztex goals were never recorded which is a shame because Maxwell Griffin's goal (Aztex's 3rd) was brilliant.

3) For some reason they showed Eddie Johnson's goal 2 weeks ago against NSC Minnesota Stars instead.

At least the interview with Aztex coach Adrian Heath, Miguel Gallardo & Maxwell Griffin were good. So there's room for improvement from the broadcast staff to get it better next time.

UPDATE:

Here's the fixed highlights. Thanks to the Austin Aztex staff for correcting it.

NOTES:

Two words: Missed Opportunities.

Considering that we conceded 2 stoppage time goals in the last 2 matches not only cost us 4 points but it cost us to move up in the USSF D2 table and allowed Rochester to remain on the top of the table. Now I understand that playing 2 matches in a three day span is very grueling physically, especially on the road. But the way the Aztex performed and approached the game against St. Louis last night was very disappointing and didn't show any good effort on the field. So the Aztex need to learn from these two road matches and get back on the winning track for this Saturday's rematch against St. Louis at House Park.

BIG NOTE:

Please join us this evening at 7:00 p.m. at Mister Tramps (8565 Research Blvd) for the Aztex Watching Party Event. The Aztex need this win to get back up top of the USSF D2 table. And that position was help by Miami FC's 2-1 win at Rochester last night. Knowing all willing that this AC St. Louis-Austin Aztex match is up against the Big Burnt Orange Gorilla that is University of Texas football game at Texas Tech, we need as much Chantico's Army members and Austin Aztex fans to be at Mister Tramps. Let's get those numbers up for tonight's match and cheer on for our Aztex.

COME ON YOU AZTEX !!!!
