Background: Diego Serna spent six years in MLS. When he first arrived here from Colombia, he did quite well and was even named to the 2001 MLS Best XI. But, his last few years were marred by injury and unproductive. In 2000, prior to the decline of his career, Serna did set one infamous MLS record though.

The soccer pyramid was impossible to climb in first-round Open Cup games Tuesday. We had one upset that really wasn't, given their league forms and the narrow gap (if any) between the NPSL and PDL. Another USASA team came close to beating a nominally pro team, while history-rich Rochester needed a late goal and penalties to beat USL2 opposition. Click to continue reading...

Miami FC was able to overcome a 1-0 deficit at half time and defeated Lynch's FC by scoring 2 goals in 1 minute.
Lynch's drew first blood at the 35th minute off of a penalty that left the crowd gathered at Tropical Park silent. As half time came and went things looked bleak for the Blues until a confusing play that looked like a penalty in favor of Miami FC led to the first goal by Paulo Araujo at the 64th minute.

In the past two weeks Miami FC has been the revelation of USL. A team that came out of the starting blocks with only weeks of preparation yet their showing so far has been impressive. The one man that stands out the most in this team is Diego Serna. This player, at the twilight of his career has shown that he still has what it takes to play at a high level and I was lucky he granted me a few moments of his time. Click to continue reading...

The Rochester Raging Rhinos ended Miami FC's winning streak with a 2-1 victory at Lockhart Stadium.

South Florida fans can rest assured we have a team that is still up in the standings and will have both players ready for the next game Saturday May 2 against the Charleston Battery at Lockhart Stadium.

The domain transfer hasn't fully gone through yet (I'll call tech support as soon as I finish my coffee), but I saw this post by Luis and had to respond. He noted that, with Guzan leaving for England, Francisco Mendoza is the only player currently on Chivas USA's roster who was there from the beginning, and put it out to his readers for the others.

Rating: 4 (Good)
Big Apple Soccer is reporting that former NY Metrostar, 34 year old Colombian striker, Diego Serna
is currently training with the team. He currently is playing for Brazilian 3rd division side Nacional Fast Clube.
In his days in MLS he was a prolific goal scorer but that was overshadowed often by his diving and other antics such as skiving off to Colombia whenever he saw fit. Click to continue reading...

Maybe it's the horrible hair or his skill on the ball but no one has been talking about an MLS Toja of FC Dallas is well on his way to setting. The young Colombian was brought in by Steve Morrow for his offensive skills. He has done well in fulfilling that role. It seems that along with reaching back in history for the Spinal Tap hair, Toja noticed that now ex-FC Dallas Simo Valakari had lead the league in fouls committed during his 3 years in the league.
