Michigan Bucks schedule released

E-mail Print PDF

The Michigan Bucks have released their schedule for the 2010 season, and the team has some work to do if they're going to get their way back into the playoffs after missing out last year. Now why is this being released on Saturday at 7:30 PM? We want you to get used to that time slot, to spend Saturday nights with the Motor City Supporters and the Bucks from May to July. Six of their eight home games take place on Saturdays, including five in a row from May 22 to June 19.

First up is the home opener on May 22, an afternoon matinee against the newest addition to the Great Lakes Division: the Dayton Dutch Lions, a professional side backed by the FC Twente organization in the Netherlands. Other important dates include the annual Canton Cup on May 29, as the Bucks play the Cincinnati Kings for the second year in a row at the event. The big day we're all looking forward to is Saturday, June 12, as the United States takes on England in the 2010 World Cup. That evening, the Bucks are hosting border rival FC London to make for an incredible soccer day. Also, in-state rival Kalamazoo Outrage comes to town on Thursday, June 24, and the hated Chicago Fire Premier make their way to Pontiac on Saturday, July 10. Potential road trips for this season include London, Dayton, and Indiana.

Supporters group season tickets will be offered once again by the Bucks, and they will announce in the near future how to purchase them. The complete schedule, as well as news on qualification for the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, can be found on our Michigan Bucks page.

MLS SuperDraft recap - Local perspective

E-mail Print PDF
The 2010 MLS SuperDraft is complete, and the Motor City Supporters would like to send out well wishes to two specific players drafted today. First, for the third straight year, a former Michigan Bucks standout has been taken in the draft. Mauro Fuzetti (U-M) was drafted by the Kansas City Wizards with the 41st pick (Round 3). Also, a Michigan native was taken for the second year in a row as Eric Alexander (Indiana), a Portage native, was selected by FC Dallas with the 44th pick (Round 3). Congratulations to you both!

The Game Is In US

E-mail Print PDF
The list of 18 bid cities that the United States has given to FIFA in their bid for the 2018 or 2022 World Cup has been released. We are sad to hear that Detroit has been cut from that list. However, this will not deter our motivation to support the bid to have the World Cup back in the USA. The closest location for us is now Indianapolis, and we will take advantage of any and every opportunity that may be given to us if in fact the United States earns their bid as World Cup host, even though unlike last time in 1994, Detroit will not play a part.
