Moving on Up - Transaction

Battle Take Another From Union

It was a bit sluggish, but the Battle managed to fight out another win against Union SC.  Alamo City came into the match a bit leery as Union had been putting in solid performances the last few weeks and the game had all the makings of the dreaded "trap" match. 

TRANSACTION: Alamo City releases Leo Fernandez and signs Chris Tierney (NE)

Total Domination + Week 9 Preview

Record Setting Weekend Breaks Slump for Alamo City

10-0 in your favor sure does cure a lot of ills.  For the Battle it was the 3 game skid type that they shook as the club dominated Rose City from kick off to the final whistle.  That same scoreline held true against Flamengo as the Battle secured yet another Freedom Cup. 

This week the club faces Ohio.  There's plenty that can be said, but there won't be any talking from the Battle this week leading to the match.  This very scenario has seen Alamo City drop crucial points in seasons past.
