Miami, March 30, 2008 - Pouring rain and thunderstorms were responsible for the cancellation of the preseason game between Miami FC and the Montreal Impact, which was scheduled to be played this Sunday night.

The first game of this Sunday's tripleheader ended with a convincing 5-0 victory by the US National Team against Miami FC Kendall Under-16. The second game of the day between Miami FC Kendall Under-18 and the corresponding US National Team was also interrupted due to the heavy rain at minute 39. The score was 0-0.
