Pre-Game AC St. Louis vs Austin Aztex News & Notes - September 18, 2010

Yes, that's AC St. Louis game day promote for tonight's game against the Aztex. One wonders if Heath Pearce and his mustache are going to sue AC St. Louis for copyright infringement. Nice try AC St. Louis ;-). Anyway here are some news:

AC St. Louis: AC St. Louis Host Austin Saturday Night

The Aztexan: Away Game 9/18: AC St. Louis

The Trinidad Guardian: Galaxy recalls T&T’s Marshall

Austin Aztex: Defender Mechack Jerome to Participate in Caribbean Nations Cup for Haiti


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 !!!!

My New Year's Soccer Resolution

Normally I don't do any New Year's resolutions because to me they are a waste of time and energy. Stuff like this always happens every year:

• Hangover from New Year's Day Party (I never attend them).
• Bombardment of "Getting Healthy As A Resolution"commercials & news reports from fitness & gym companies just to get you (and your money) to come into their gym.
• Eating black eye peas, cabbage, etc.. on New Year's Day just for good luck. (Yeah right!)
• Firecrackers shooting out from drunk people. Much like last night.
  
• Watching the usual {Insert Some Crappy Corporate Name} college bowl throwball game on TV.
  

So I decided to give out my realistic soccer resolutions for 2010. This is in no particular order:

FC Dallas' season x 4 years = Coma

Guess Which MLS Coach Is On The Hot Seat?

According to the Goal.com editors, most of the them said exactly what most of us said all along on which MLS coach is on the hot seat. But the Hunts Sports Group (or should I say Hunts Entertainment Group) could care less or won't even listen to what their fans are saying.

Ugly Podcast

I like to give a shout out to my friends on the Winning Ugly Radio Show on the Champions Soccer Radio Network. Winning Ugly is the Around The Horn of soccer but a million times better than that annoying ESPN show. The show is basically MLS + European Soccer + Pop Culture = fun & laughs. The show's host usually ask the questions to the panelists and judges their answers based on points to determine this weeks champions. Here are the lineups:

Scott Bornstein

Sandra Franz

Zach Woosley

Erik Young

Hank Alexandre

Jason Davis

MJ in Pitt

Bobby Rhine

So please turn in the show in which is available on podcast, including this week's Episode 27 of the show in which the lovely, smart and talented Sandra Franz is the host of this show.

However there's one subject matter that has to be address. Weeks ago the Winning Ugly panel wanted Drew Carey to be a guest of this show. So they promoted heavy for their Winning Ugly campaign:




Then this past week the FCD marketers launch their own promotion to the game against Seattle Sounders.



How dare them that they stole Winning Ugly's intellectually property and idea. That's copyright infringement. What's even worse is that the promotion sounds more like Seattle Sounders' front office promotion than FCD's. Unbelievable.

The FCD front office will be hearing from the Winning Ugly's lawyer Jackie Chiles soon:



"That FCD Drew Carey promotion is deplorable, unfathomable, improbable. It's an infringement on my client's Winning Ugly rights. It's outrageous, egregious, preposterous."

Stay turn for more info on this saga.

FC Dallas' 2009 Season So Far

First of all, due to my personal busy schedule I wasn't able to post any blogs last week. So I apologize for the lack of news & reports here. However after last Saturday's Texas Derby against Houston, I would like to share to you the many positive things have been going on with FC Dallas so far this season:

But then again, there's plenty of them in Mexico & South America (NSFW).

Too scared to play us?

After reading this blog from Los Toros website:

Are the Hoops ducking the Aztex?

Do you think that they are scared of playing a new USL-1 team? Sure that Columbus, New England and Houston are coming over for those preseason games, but you would think that FCD would be able to work their PR over winning new fans & respect in the Capitol City. Nope! They would rather play against a college team and go overseas to Brazil instead.



Hmmmmm.....Memphis or Austin? Nice.

Anyway it would have been nice to see FCD vs Austin. But I'll take Austin beating Houston instead. Hehe!
