RAIDERS SCORE TWO GOALS IN FIRST 18 MINUTES, CRUISE CONTROL PAST COUGARS 2-0
The third time was the charm for the Brownsville Rivera Raiders boys soccer team as they scored early, threatened throughout, and with precision ball control cruised past an overmatched Katy Cinco Ranch Cougar team that looked more like lost kittens on the field.
With a perfect 28-0 run to the finals, the 6A Raiders become the third Valley school to win state titles in soccer; Lopez and Porter high schools were state top dawgs in 2004 and 2006. Rivera had made it to the semi-finals twice before.
The Raiders' Isidro Martinez, the game's MVP, rattled the Cougars with a goal in the 16th minute. David Alexander scored a second goal two minutes later. After the shock wore off, a more composed Cougar team settled down but played methodical and uninspired ball, at times lobbing long arcing passes, hoping to use their height advantage near the porteria. On defense, the Raiders were short of spectacular, attacking the lanes, contesting all balls, and allowing the Cougars meager looks near their net.
As the waning minutes and seconds drained any hope of a Cougar miracle at Birkelbach Field, diehard Brownsville fans that made the 7-hour trip to Georgetown erupted into roars, porras and cheers when the scoreboard clock stopped at 0.00 and their boys crowned state champs.

Soccer is the game of third world countries. That makes sense...Brownsville and BISD look more like a third world country than the rest of the state. Go to any of the high schools. You might think you are in Mexico.
Congratulations Rivera Raiders soccer team and coaches....you have made Brownsville proud!!!
Congratulations Raiders! You represented the Valley well!
great piece of writing
you surprised me
never thought you had it in you
congrats
you could actually make an honest living
I've always said that our boys' college ticket is and will be Soccer. We have to be brutally honest and our district needs to realize that if some kids are gonna have a shot at scholarship money for college, soccer is the way to go.
We need to stop throwing money away under the football and basketball programs, punto. Our kids are fast and agile, but don't have the size to play college football or basketball. That's a fact. We need to stop smoking crack and realize that soccer is a real viable way to send our kids to college. Dejemosnos de Pendejadas. Es la mera verdad.
To the idiot who commented on "soccer" being a third world sport, Germany is the current world champion. I assume Germany is third world, no? That's right, you might think you are in Mexico because this is the border and it is dominated by the Mexican culture. If you don't like it, move your ass to Iowa. But, its full of Mexicans as well. Move your ass to Mongolia, not many Mexicans there. I hope you are young so you can see the US become majority hispanic in about 25 years, asshole.
Culture is defined by three things: language, food, and customs. The people in the Rio Grande Delta can neither speak proper Spanish or English. As far as food and customs...I do not see anything authentic in the "valley". The valley for all practical purposes is cultureless. The word "culture" is thrown around a lot in this area when indeed is used mostly by pseudo-intellectual morons as yourself. The word Hispanic is also used improperly. Most of the folks in the valley do not have an ounce of Spanish blood in them. They are Indians moron. Sounds like someone needs to go back to school puto.
Culture goes way beyond the three things you mention. To suggest that the people of the Valley are "Indians" is prima facie evidence that you are a stupid dick. Some of the great intellects of Texas, which is not noted for them when we had a recent governor, Anglo, you was a C student and made a D in economics while at Texas AM, have come from the Valley, including Carlos Castaneda, for whom the UT Austin library is named.
As far as you mention of Rio Grande Delta, it ends just Northeast of Las Prietas, comprising only about 20% of the lower border population. The term "Valley" came from you asshole gringos when they were trying to sell land to clueless gringos from the Midwest in the early 1900's. They also dropped blocks of ice into wells to fake them into thinking they were "Artesian Wells".
If you find the area so distasteful, why not move up to East Texas with your own kind, a veritable hotbed of intellectualism.
Artesian wells are usually composed of sandstone and shale rock layers which have been uplifted to form an area of higher to lower elevation (that would be a mountain moron...you are probably having trouble following this narrative). The valley is primarily made of limestone and alluvium. Another fabricated story by a pseudo-intellectual...that is moron to you. The valley as a whole is a cesspool of ignorant humanity which would include your racist rant and yourself. Have you lived anywhere else in your life? Or are you a prisoner of your own stupidity?
You stupid pendejo, of course there are NO artesian wells in the Valley. The point was that the Anglos were cheating their own kind, who were too stupid to realize what was going on. It is not a fabricated story. I heard directly from the people who did it. They thought it was hilarious.
The real cesspool of humanity are the Anglos who have exploited the vulnerable Mexicans from the very beginning of the Valley's history until today, like your hero up in McAllen, the late Mayor Brand. Why do you not move up to McAllen? By the way, I have in lived in 7 countries and speak three languages fluently, how about you asshole?
Words that come to mind when I hear "Mexican": thief, corrupt, stupid, ignorant, welfare, gimme something for free, family violence, gangs, drugs...did I forget any puto.
You stupid shit, there is no welfare or food stamps in Mexico. The biggest welfare state in the world is the USA. Over 50 million people in the USA cannot even feed themselves without the government handout. Most are Anglos. There is no Social Security retirement plan in Mexico like the US, no six figure retirement salaries, no triple dipping into retirement plans.
You have to work to survive in Mexico.
Read this white boy and weep. Ha, ha, ha.
