Well Laredo and El Paso will meet for the 4th time this season. It will be interesting to see if our new coach has any tricks up his sleeve to get a different result. From the webcasts it sounded like there were a couple of good games last night. Congrats to ya'll and we will see you tonight.

Viva Laredo!

Hello, NEWMAN.

Yes, a couple of good matches yesterday. Your son looked good in net. I think both Florida teams weren't on their best games. Home field advantage really helped, maybe both Texas teams. Certainly, Laredo looked sharp and not at all out of their element in a fellow border city. (The fans they brought didn't hurt either.)

I was a little surprised that both Cocoa and CenFla looked so "English" -- whip the ball downfield and send it in from the wings. Look for set play opportunities and capitalize with sheer height -- which they both had.

Both the Heat and the Patriots won because the Floridians weren't ready for teams that create from midfield. Jesús Sanchez was a bull in the middle. Cocoa just could not throw him off the ball. Same for Miguel Larrosa for El Paso, but because no one could catch up to him.

Should be a great final!

Really looking forward to tonight. Going out to Roadhouse Steakhouse in a few minutes to load up on steak and Shiner Bock. Maybe that will take the nervousness off a bit. Nah, probably not. 10 years as a father of a goalie you would think you would get used to it.

Bon chance mes ami!
