Comments:

I really enjoyed my time with United. This was team formed by players from many countries, with me being the only Mexican, and a nice mixture of very experiences people (many of them over 40) with young blood (some of them 18-year olds). It was a very good team, we started off the season really well, playing very good at times. However, we had a very inconsistent month in January that ended our hopes for a title. In February I had a season-ending injury when I torn a ligament in my left knee (my first injury in years) so I had to watch from the bench. We ended in third place. Too bad this league doesn't have playoffs, they are missing all the excitment of the do-or-die matches. Nevertheless, I had a very good time, the folks from the team were great and I am sure going to miss them as we will be moving from Houston over the Summer.
