I was fortunate enough to see the Tampa Bay Rowdies open 2020 with a win at New York Red Bulls II in person. I was also unfortunately there to witness them get drubbed 5-0 by the same Red Bulls in April of 2018. Neill Collins was the player that came out of the locker room […]
The Tampa Bay Rowdies will play on in 2020. Tampa Bay extended their season another week by prevailing 2-1 over Louisville City FC in Saturday’s Eastern Confernce Final at Lynn Family Stadium. Zach Steinberger notched the first goal just four minutes into the match and captain Sebastian Guenzatti bagged the winner seconds before the halftime […]
For weeks, Neill Collins has been saying that if the Rowdies showed up and played their game at the level they’ve set for themseleves, the result would come against the Charleston Battery. Saturday night was the last chance the players had to prove him right. There wasn’t going to be a sixth matchup with the […]
The frustration from several defeats the Tampa Bay Rowdies suffered at the hands of the Charleston Battery in recent months were completely wiped away on Saturday night.

Things were looking pretty bleak for the Tampa Bay Rowdies an hour into their clash with Birmingham Legion FC in the USL Championship’s Eastern Conference Quarterfinal on Saturday night at Al Lang.

For the third time this year, the Tampa Bay Rowdies (10W-2L-3D, 33 pts) had to contend with an extended weather delay. This time it was the club’s away match against Miami FC (2W-8L-4D, 10 pts) that was scheduled to kick off at 7:30 didn’t end up starting until 10:01. The delay didn’t dampen the Rowdies […]
With under 30 seconds left in stoppage time in Wednesday’s battle with Atlanta United 2 (2W-9L-3D, 9 pts), it looked as if the Tampa Bay Rowdies (9W-2L-3D, 30 pts) were going to have to settle for a point. Fortunately, Sebastian Guenzatti had other plans and bagged a last-gasp winner in the final seconds to give […]
The Tampa Bay Rowdies’ returned to South Carolina on Friday hoping to set things right after falling 1-0 to the Charleston Battery two weeks ago. Instead they fell by the exact same scoreline, allowing the Battery to pull within three points of them in the Group H standings. This time around Zeiko Lewis provided the […]
You don’t get to say this too often — the Tampa Bay Rowdies’s 2-0 win over Philadelphia Union II on Sunday night came very close to carrying over into Monday.
