St. Pete, Florida. Broken by watching and yapping about soccer. Too much time on my hands. Design Nerd. Unhealthy Vices: Tampa Bay Rowdies, Tampa Bay Sun, AS Roma, Liverpool FC. (And also Boston Celtics, NBA/WNBA at large.)
Apparently this makes SportsCenter. And not only does it make SportsCenter, but they felt it was worthwhile to tease on the ticker that it is upcoming on SportsCenter – and I agree.
I checked into a hotel and was going to watch the MLB All-Star Game and for some reason the FOX station they have must be some weird substation that only ever shows Americas Funniest Home Videos
Harry Kane when considering whether or not to associate with Trump…
I see there are two camps on Bluesky about the Balogun red card suspension being lifted. This is the camp I am choosing to be in…
Interesting (to me). Nike has released a $65 *value* version of the USMNT home kit (in addition to the replica and authentic versions). Sublimated crest and logos. I feel like there should always be something like this available (though ideally for even cheaper).
chat does the Raising Cane’s promo Landon Donovan jersey kind of cook?
I think it is wholly wrong to root for Canada or Mexico as an American soccer fan. However…
Leading choice is always a Rowdies jersey. A Roma kit might work since Eldor plays for Uzbekistan. Sicko choice is always this bad boy…
Found an article with a bit of lore from this Rowdies vs. USMNT game in 1985. Happened in a weird void where the Rowdies had to operate independently (and in indoor) in between the collapse of NASL 1.0 prior to joining the ASL (which through mergers, etc. was absorbed into the modern day USL.)
[stares directly into the camera, realizes that the world cup hasn’t even begun yet]
Historic moment really. First time they’ve ever made a wax figure of a wax figure.
Years ago I did this for the Rowdies in the 1987 Topps Baseball and 1975 Topps styles.
Rowdies and Sunnies are hosting a combined Summer Camp. First time they’ve collaborated in quite this way. Hope they have the best s’mores.
I was curious what it was about, but I didn't expect to be greeted by this photo
