Las Vegas will be wearing a different jersey for each home game this season. Will be sold in limited numbers, and at $100 a pop, someone who's gotta catch em all will be out $1700.

Merciful Soccer Gods, please let this team have a winning season to make up for all this insanity.

Las Vegas Lights, or as the Unused Substitutes call them, Gimmick FC.

The guys continue to do battle with technical issues in an attempt to discuss the end of preseason, preview this week's season opener against NY Arby's 2, discuss the Rowdies Women schedule and Jake chats with Rowdies GK Evan Louro

In this episode:

USF 1:1 Rowdies
Evan Louro interview
RBNY2 Preview
Rowdies Women schedule

Speaking of Arby's 2, Rowdies finally won a game on the road in NY/NJ, this past Saturday, which is like, the first time ever for the Rowdies, I think (not counting Rochester, also, I think), circa 1975-2020 (NY Cosmos/RBNY inclusive)? That's quite the long on-the-road losing streak.

Good interview with Evan Louro by Jake Nutting on the Unused Substitutes podcast. Looking forward to seeing Evan Louro do well with the Rowdies this year. Should be fun to watch. Knock on wood.

Rowdies Get The Big Apple Off Their Back, Best NYRB II In Opener

by JAKE NUTTING

For the fourth straight season, the Tampa Bay Rowdies have started the USL Championship year off with a win.

This year’s 1-0 road victory against the New York Red Bulls II has a little extra meaning, though. The Rowdies had lost out in all three of their prior trips to face NYRB II. In fact, the club’s struggles on the road against New York-based teams in the modern era also extends to their days in the NASL, where they failed to post a win in six tries against the Cosmos.

Besides the fact that Tampa Bay and New York teams hating each other is well-honored tradition across several sports, the New York-based soccer teams also always seem to be at the top of their respective leagues So it may seem small in the grand scheme, but it’s not a insignificant thing for Neill Collins to be the first coach to lead the Rowdies to a road victory against a New York team in the modern era.

Pretty sure the Rowdies vs. NY Cosmos losing streak in NY/NJ is inclusive of both the NY Cosmos NASL 1.0 and NASL 2.0 iterations.

Godspeed, Malonga.

quote:

Dominique Malonga has officially parted ways with Cavalry FC.

Malonga, 32, signed with PFC Lokomotiv Plovdiv in Bulgaria’s top tier over the weekend. The journeyman striker was on the bench for the club’s 2-0 league win over Vitosha Bistritsa this Saturday.

Malonga led the Cavs with 11 goals in 26 matches in 2019, helping the side to Spring and Fall season titles and earning a player of the year nomination at Awards 2019.

Malonga was born in Châtenay-Malabry, a suburb of Paris, France, but represents the Republic of Congo at the senior international level. He made the jump to professional football in 2007 with Serie A side Torino FC before stints with AC Cesena, L.R. Vicenza Virtus, Real Murcia in Spain, and Scottish club Hibernian FC, where he became a cult hero scoring 17 goals in 43 appearances.

so with everything popping off today, i’m assuming there will be no detroit city fc home opener on 3/21. the state is “recommending” that gatherings of >100 people are cancelled or restricted and other leagues are making big moves in terms of event attendance
the interesting economic thing is uhh... some of these nisa teams likely can’t entirely shoulder the cost of a cancelled or heavily postponed spring season. it’ll be very, very interesting to see how things shake out.

Weird feeling right now, reminds me of how MLS post-2001-09-11 felt, except that I'm pretty confident that MLS and USL are strong enough to start back up once this is over, when it is over, whereas MLS almost didn't make it to 2002.

Still feels weird though.

CPL broke months of silence today and announced their return to play is going ahead starting August 13th in Charlottetown. Looks like an 8 team round robin, 4 of which move on to a second round robin, the top 2 of which play against each other to be crowned champions. Obviously not as good as the full season would have been, but I'm happy they're actually doing something. Plus, if they're putting money into upgrading Charlottetown's stadium maybe they can get a team one day.

Even better, now that the season is officially 'cancelled' in the normal sense, maybe I can get some clarification on what's happening with my season ticket money.

I actually don’t mind them as a whole (really like the Valour one) but that one... When they first showed it I assumed the city names were just for show/in the video to explain the shape. It either needs more detail in the map to blend the names in and a less boring font or preferably remove them altogether. I don’t think it’d look as awful with just the line.

League is letting us roll season ticket money to next year or apply some to a league group that is mostly just a way to continue to make money (understandably for a second year league considering Covid) but you get a jersey and tv streaming package. I may do that because I really like that Valour jersey.
