Carolina Railhawks vs. Vancouver Whitecaps

WakeMed Soccer Park (map)

Selected By: Greg

Here we go!  It's time for the TSF to get back to what we do best (and no, it is not singing)! Dust off the noise makers, tune up the drums, find those hidden smoke bombs, practice the old chants and songs, and come on out to the Wake Med Soccer Park for a friendly match between the Carolina Railhawks and the Vancouver Whitecaps (aka Last Year's Railhawks vs. the New Railhawks).  Weather permitting, the tailgate starts at 1pm in the usual spot under the trees.  We'll march in around 2:30pm, game at 3pm.  See you all there.

Judging by the thin roster, all TSF members are encouraged to bring their cleats and shin guards in case we are needed to step in to fill out the team. 

Also, a special TSF prize will be given to anyone who can come up with a chant or song with "Agbossoumonde" in it.   "Gale will prevail".

    Speaking of flags.... I have a Costa Rica flag that we can use if TSF doesn't already have one since it looks like we are going to have a Costa Rican on the roster this year.... we are both looking forward to another season of Railhawks soccer!

    okay, I am bringing something in a pot. I am serving Roda's favorite drink of mine.
    So I could use plates nothing big and some cups for said drinks.
    I have at least two tables maybe three.
