Miami FC Blues vs Tampa Bay Rowdies Preview and Tailgate

It's here folks, one more day until the first of 4 games versus the Tampa Bay Rowdies this season.

The Blues have played 2 games so far this season both ending in ties. fans are hoping this time things will be different against the Rowdies.

Miami FC is announcing a special ticket deal for all groups for the match. When groups of 8 or more buy tickets to the game this weekend, they will receive free tickets good for any remaining regular season home match of their choice. Tickets are currently being sold for $12 at the gate.

As noted in a previous blog post below (click HERE for details), Miami FC has gone all out bringing us a great Tailgate set to begin at 5 pm.

The sponsors are:

Weston Town Center
Regalia Vodka
Good Spirits
Play n’ Trade
Powerade
Speed Shop
Holy Mackerel Beer
America’s Backyard
Dunkin Donuts
Into Energy Drink

With special presentations by:
Miami FC Blue Angels Cheerleaders/Ambassadors

Players to watch:
For Tampa be on the look out for Aaron King. Blues Fans remember him for his short yet productive time with Miami FC. Aaron is the first player in the new Tampa Bay Rowdies team to score.
Though lacking a potent attack so far, the Rowdies do have a midfield that knows how to hold on to the ball.
Possible line up:
GK Sattler, D Valentino, D Valentin, D Kljestan, M Ustruck, M Christie, M Millien, M Nyazamba, M Yamada, F Tan, F King

Miami, much like Tampa, has shown little as far as scoring power in official games. This is the game where midfielder Christian Gomez will need to shine in order to give the Blues their first win.
Possible Line up:
GK Patterson, D Lancaster, D Kirby, D Rodrigues, D Gbandi, M Cameron, M Goldberg, M Gomez, M Paulo Jr, F Thompson,F Santeliz

Look for a midfield battle for ball possession.

Miami FC announced this week that former USA U-17 and U-20 Bryan Arguez has returned from his loan to sister-club Estoril-Praia. Arguez is a midfielder who has been a member of the USA Men's National Team youth system since 2005. Arguez will be available for the Blues game against FC Tampa Bay. Read more HERE

For those that didn't know, the Blues have launched Miami FC TV and this week they have a video of practice leading up to the Tampa game and an interview with J.P. Rodriguez who South Florida soccer guru Robert Scorca also interviewed on this blog (You can read it HERE)

The time has come to support our Miami FC Blues!
Vamos Miami! Beat the Rowdies!

Burrito: Recent reports (Read HERE ) say Hotshot was going to sign on with Miami FC not only as a Mascot but as a player/mascot, is there some truths to dat?
Hotshot: I have not been asked by MFC front office, but I would do anything for my favorite soccer team Miami FC.
