30 Days

I'm not going to bother posting links to every MLS and lower league soccer story that interests me here anymore; it was getting to be a bit too much. I shall just post a few things that directly interest me as long as it is related to the Tampa Bay Rowdies (or if there is ever anything of interest to my current local football club, the New England Revolution, which is almost never). 

So it's been a week and a half and no real news about the Miami situation; however a few rumors and chatter. Everyone seems convinced that Miami is going to happen now; we shall see. I am skeptical, but I have nothing valid to back that hunch up with at the moment, really.

A-Rod passes on Marlins; Spoelstra honored; Heat nuggets; Beckham move

Some Marlins, Heat and Miami/David Beckham/MLS notes on a Sunday:

### With Dodgers co-owner Todd Boehly joining David Beckham’s Miami soccer ownership group, they’re in good shape financially and not looking for more investors. The next hurdle, which shouldn’t be a big one: acquiring Miami-Dade County-owned land, where a slice of the proposed Overtown stadium will sit, for upwards of $10 million.

Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez told WQAM’s Joe Rose: “We’re ready to go. We’re waiting for the league to award the franchise. We can get our part of the deal done within 30 days.”
