With training moved up and fairly short session today, it’s not that hot by the time the session ends. It is starting to get close though cause FCD came out 30 minutes late, which usually means they had a video session to start the training. At least it gave me a chance to read my paper.

Monday Morning Gaffer: FCD vs West Texas United Sockers

July 9th, 2009 . By: Buzz Carrick

I must admit this was a fun event, way out in the west Texas desert. Ok, not that far out, only a five hour drive. Midland has this great little facility, Grande Communications Stadium. It would be a perfect USL-1 or USL-2 stadium for soccer, except that it’s field turf painted with football lines. It’s primary use is for Midland High and Midland Lee football. This is west Texas after all.
