Greetings Miami Fans! As it is well known at this stage Barca is still negotiating with MLS and the League wants Barcelona in no matter what!
Apparently my source tells me it will be Montreal and Miami entering the league by March 19th and since MLS is trying to make a deal with Montreal, Barca wants the same treatment!

As I wrote on the Orlando Sentinel's; the Other Football . According to Elmundodeportivo.es, Barcelona has a pre-contract in their possession awarding them the Miami Franchise! The contract was sent from the U.S. and is now being revised by their legal department. It states that by February 15 an official announcement will be made and the contract states the team will begin in 2010.

According to some of my fellow Bloggers Barcaloco and one of my favorites MLSenespañol . The Miami Franchise is in danger. MLS en Español's source is SportsES who has an interview with the General Director of the club Mr Olive who states that due to these financial times there is a chance the project will not go forward.

Robert Scorca is a member of the Miami Ultras and has missed maybe one or two Miami FC games since the team started. He was also a devote Miami Fusion fan and was broken hearted when the Barcelona Miami bid for MLS fell apart. But one thing that many might not know about him is his love of the Honduran National team.

Hola Miami and the worlds! Burrito wake up today and drink cafecito con huevos rancheros and read ASS.com report today about Barcelona Presidente Joan Laporta i Estruch (Si, it's true, thats his name! His picture to the derecha). He is the vato who brings MLS futbol to Miami again so Burrito love him very much and Boliviano Marcelo Claure too!

Now that it looks like Barcelona FC along with Brightstar's Marcelo Claure will be awarded an MLS team here in Miami, the word "Barcelona" is no longer just a city in Spain. But before there was talk of Barcelona in MLS there was another team created some 25 years after the original team was established.

Miami Fans woke up this morning hoping to hear good news about the Miami Barcelona bid. Apparently meetings between MLS and Barcelona took place today and a source has indicated a deal was trying to be made. MLS really wants this bid to happen and are doing what they can to not lose it.
The Miami Herald reported that the announcement will not be made today and my friend Brant at the Orlando Sentinel goes on to say if we hear anything it will be bad news rather then good.

The Southern Legion is Miami FC's new fan group!
Formed on the ashes of the failed MLS Miami Barcelona bid, this group of rag tag soccer fans want to make a difference!
On Friday April 24, at 8PM, when Miami FC plays versus the Montreal Impact, The Southern Legion (Legion del Sur) expect to be a force to be reckoned with.

Today's announcement by Major League Soccer that Miami will not be one of the expansion teams was yet another kick in the teeth for soccer aficionados in South Florida. Consider the following facts: When Dolphin Stadium (then called Joe Robbie Stadium) was opened in 1987, it was purposefully designed with a wider than usual playing surface to [.

Major League Soccer will not award Miami according to Major League Soccer...
"I want to thank both FC Barcelona and Marcelo Claure for the tremendous effort to bring an MLS expansion team to Miami," said MLS Commissioner Don Garber. "FC Barcelona is one of the best managed and strategically operated sporting clubs in any sport in the World and I appreciate the opportunity that we have had to work with them and Marcelo Claure over the last few months.

It looks like Miami will have to wait a little longer until MLS awards this city a team. According to Eufootbalbiz . MLS Senior Vice-President Dan Courtemance confirmed that plans are moving ahead as expected in Philadelphia, bringing the reality of a 16th franchise even closer. The MLS will expand by an additional two teams for the 2011 season.
