Canadians Storm Home over Freedom to win Parallel Cup

LAUDERHILL, Florida -- Lightning.  It can come in a bottle, it never strikes twice, and it sometimes delays the inevitable.

It is also quick, unpredictable, and highly dangerous.  As the USA Freedom and Canada Northern Lights found out, it can be your best friend or your worst enemy.  And just as fast as the Americans sprinted out to a big first quarter lead, their counterparts from up north struck back early and often, then were miserly about letting the Americans get any sniff of a victory.

Devos Win, Liberty Falls on Parallel Cup Opening Night

LAUDERHILL, Florida – The next wave of American footy nationals took to the field on Friday night under the lights at Central Broward Regional Park, and for eighty minutes at a time, a total of forty-eight men and women attempted to show that they had what it takes to play at the international level.

USA Liberty Announce Captains for Parallel Cup

The Freedom and Liberty coaching staff are pleased to announce the Liberty Leadership team for the upcoming 49th Parallel Cup being played in Fort Lauderdale, FL this weekend.

Two vice-captains will serve the Liberty this year:

It says somewhere in a really old book that a lot of people read that one should “love thy neighbor.”  And when it comes to Canada, we do really like our neighbors to the North.  They are great people living in a beautiful country with much better healthcare laws and a lower drinking age than we have here.

From Sacto to the 'Gong: Kwoka's "Life Changing" Footy Journey

With her flowing red locks, her long strides, and booming kicks, Lauré Kwoka is easily recognizable on the footy field.  She has become a fixture in the midfield for the Sacramento Lady Suns, and her enthusiasm for the game has helped her become a better player in just three seasons of play.

She stands out equally off the field too; gregarious, passionate, and with an almost permanent smile on her face.  It’s what has made her a fantastic teammate, and an ambassador for the game at home and abroad.
