Alex Nimo has found a brilliant way to kill any time wasting tactics from his opponent. Well, at least he tried to that is. LOL! Thanks to Matthew Gray & his wife for finding this.
Thanks to Austin photographer Patrick Meredith for this bad ass picture of Jamie Watson staring at Tampa Bay's Pascal Millien. So what do you think Jamie said to him? :-)
News 8 Austin: Aztex draw with Tampa BayBlogger Note: It's really bad enough that they don't show more than just one highlight of the match on their station, but the "Kiss Your Sister" comment at the end? Come on now!
The Austin Aztex's next 2 matches will be road games at Miami FC on Wednesday May 26 (6:30 p.m.) and on Saturday May 29 (6:00 p.m.) at Crystal Palace Baltimore. Then their return home for their next home match on June 5 (7:30 p.m.) at House Park against the Puerto Rico Islanders

The Aztex played to a 2-2 draw against the Rowdies at their "evil Yankee Owner's" baseball field on May 8. ;-) Here are the highlights of the Tampa Bay Rowdies vs Austin Aztex match:
Now was this a penalty or not? You make the call. But I think all of us can agree that the referee was poor in this match.
Blogger Note: Rochester is actually in 1st place with 11 points. Austin are tied with Portland with 10 points but Portland are ahead on goal difference (+5 for timbers & +3 for Aztex)
Both Sullivan Silva & Kieron Bernard will not make the trip to Tampa due to injuries as well as Joey Worthen due to suspension for his red card against Minnesota last week.
Leonard Griffin, Eddie Johnson & Jamie Watson lead the Aztex with 2 goals each coming into this match. Both Leonard Griffin & Jamie Watson lead the teams with 4 points (2 goals and an assist).
Both Eddie Johnson of the Austin Aztex and Chad Burt of the Tampa Bay Rowdies are team leaders in fouls. 13 fouls in 4 matches of Johnson and 8 fouls in 3 matches for Burt.
After the Rowdies play their home opener, they will play another 3 matches on the road again after playing their 1st 3 matches away from Tampa (perhaps Miami might be an exception ;-) ). I just wish the leagues in the U.S and Canada would follow a fair and balanced schedule for their teams throughout the season.
The Rowdies-Aztex match will start at 6:30pm CST. You can follow the match at www.austinaztex.com or join us Aztex fans and Chantico's Army members at the Game Day Watching Party at Cuatros. We hope to see you there as the Aztex will seek their 3rd road victory of the season and spoiling Tampa Bay's home opener.
