Sunday, March 7, 2010 :: It's that time of year again!!!  The months of waiting are over, as the Austin Aztex traveled to Houston to play their first match of the 2010 season.  The RAW took on familiar foe, MLS side Houston Dynamo, 5 days after the squad reported to training camp.  Unfortunately, the Gaffer was unable to attend the match, as he was out of town.  However, a contingent of Aztex faithful were able to make the trip down to H-town.  Chris "The Aztexan" Grayson has proposed the name "The Roadkill Cup", which was then picked up by KOOP's "Futbol en Vivo" Arch Bell. 

For those of you who may not recall, this is the 3rd time we've played Houston since the beginning of last year (2009).  In fact, the relationship with the Dynamo goes well beyond the pitch, and has been seen between the front offices.  An example of this is that Erick Ustruck, who scored the equalizer for the Dynamo, actually played for the Aztex as a loan last year for a period of time.

The feeling from everyone I've heard has been that we did exceptionally well for a first match, especially on the backline.  Below are match reports from those that attended the match, as well as some of the stats that I was able to find.  As we go forward in the season, these will be expanded.

As we look at the Aztex players, there were a number of faces that were on trial with the squad, who we may see signed.  This includes:

  • Sean Powers
  • Wes Allen
  • Richard Edger
  • Stephan Campbell
  • David Shriver
  • Maxwell Griffin
  • Jarrod Smith

We'll see who comes back, although it was good to see Wes Allen in the mix, as he was a member of the Aztex 2008 PDL squad, as well as their 2009 USL1 squad.

Sunday, March 7, 2010 :: Unfortunately, I've not been able to watch this match, so I don't have anything to add above and beyond what the Match Reports from the charts say.  It is sad though, that Stoke City's FA Cup dreams are done for this season, and a team like Pompey are heading to the semifinals.  Oh well.

Austin Aztex 2010 Season Tickets ON SALE NOW!!! PDF Print E-mail

The journey of a thousand miles is started with one step.

 

UPDATE :: January 28, 2010 :: As many of you know, the Aztex recognize the value that Chantico's Army brings to the matches by providing discounts on tickets for registered members of the Army.  This tradition that was established last season continues in 2010, albeit with some changes.  As many have realized, the organization made a number of reductions in ticket pricing, not only dropping the season ticket packages but also reducing the single game rates.  Even after this, the Aztex have extended a 10% discount offer to registered members of Chantico's Army when they purchase a season ticket package.

@GTTF @MFUSA Issue I have with US commentators is the constant "rules review". I know what offsides it. Don't explain 30 times a match.
No "Futbol en Vivo" podcast this week, as work is eating up all of my time. Apologies gang. @futbolaustin @koopradio
I'm taking clients to a pub that will show US v. Netherlands for business meeting. A great compromise in my priorities!! No beer though :(
