Owls Down Tucson Despite Late Scares

Despite triple-digit temperatures, a second-half red card, and a second-half own-goal, Union Omaha prevailed at the end of Saturday night’s match against FC Tucson with a score of 2-1.  What seemed to be a manageable cruise to an away victory turned into anything but that, yet the Owls maintained their composure and returned to OmahaContinue reading “Owls Down Tucson Despite Late Scares”

Data Dump: Ft Lauderdale (Home)

Wooooooooooo boy. We ducking did it. It’s been a few days, and I’m still not sure it seems very real.

So instead of a normal Data Dump,Continue reading “Data Dump: Ft Lauderdale (Home)”

Data Dump: Madison (Away)

Let me start off by saying if I never watch Forward Madison play at Hart Park again, that might be too soon. It is the perfect combination for a headache, a team that chokes the life out of the beautiful game and a field that is the sports field equivalent of a participation trophy. ToContinue reading “Data Dump: Madison (Away)”

Data Dump: Tormenta (Home)

IT HAPPENED! It all came together for Los Buhos on Saturday night and it was as satisfying as you could hope for, and then some.

Data Dump (Ft Lauderdale Away)

Hey-oooooooooo! We won! Not only did we beat FtLCF but we beat the ref. I still can’t get over how bad the missed call was on their first goal.
