What’s up with the Rays and St. Pete? Rick Kriseman won’t say ‘publicly’

The mayor continues to reject the Tampa Bay Rays’ plan to split the season in Montreal. But some St. Petersburg City Council members support exploring the idea.

ST. PETERSBURG — It’s been more than seven months since the Tampa Bay Rays unveiled their plan to split home games between the bay area and Montreal.

Rays stadium debate used to be contentious. Now, it’s just stupid

John Romano | The baseball team and the mayor’s office can’t even seem to agree on whether they are still negotiating. And that’s how baseball is going to be saved in Tampa Bay?

The St. Pete City Council asked Mayor Rick Kriseman for an update on the Rays stadium situation. Kriseman said he did not want to discuss details in public and, instead, offered to meet with individual council members to fill them in on six months of fruitless negotiations. [DIRK SHADD | Tampa Bay Times]

ST. PETERSBURG — Let me see if I understand this correctly:

The Rays don’t want to talk about what they may or may not be offering the city in exchange for talking to Montreal, they don’t want to commi...

Starting XI - 2015 Minnesota United FC

The Team That Nobody Wanted is Going to MLS, but first they have a few seasons left in the NASL.

Before getting into MLS the Loons knew there was two to three seasons left in the North American Soccer League, of which the 2015 campaign would open on April 11th in St. Petersburg, FL against the Tampa Bay Rowdies.

#11, MF Kalif Alhassan - A young but veteran player by the time he made his debut for MNUFC in 2015, Alhassan began his career in his native Ghana playing for Liberty Professionals from 2007-10. In February of 2010, Portland Timbers of the USSF D2 Pro League signed Alhassan. While Kalif would only make 8 appearances between the regular season and playoff he would be re-signed for 2011 as Portland moved to MLS. He would stay with Portland in MLS for four seasons making a combined 104 appearances across all competitions, including 3 in the CONCACAF Champions League, before being released by the club. In 2015 Minnesota United FC would pick up Alhassan where he would play 27 matches for the Loons before being released in December. Kalif would sign with Tampa Bay Rowdies for the 2016 NASL season before leaving them for New York Cosmos in 2017. After just 5 games with the Cosmos, Alhassan was released from the team but would join Georgian club Dila Gori shortly after. He would make two appearances with the Guarders before heading back to the US and signing with OKC Energy FC in the USL for 2018. After a single season with just six appearances, Alhassan would leave Energy FC for Indian I-League side Minerva Punjab for the 2018/19 season. He would make just 3 appearances in the I-League and 6 in the AFC Cup during the season, after which he moved to fellow I-League side Churchill Brothers for the 2019/20 season.

GLOBETROTTING: Championship Alums Take Overseas Opportunities

FIND OUT WHERE SOME NOTABLE FORMER PLAYERS HAVE TAKEN THEIR TALENTS THIS OFFSEASON

Brown is the latest player with Championship experience to head to the India Super League, and he’s already made an impact for a Bengaluru FC side that is in contention for the league title with three games to go in the regular season. The Jamaican forward – who scored 19 goals in 48 appearances between the Tampa Bay Rowdies and OKC Energy FC – scored in his first start for his new club last week to help it take a 3-0 win against Odisha FC. Sitting in second place in the standings, Bengaluru FC is closing in on clinching a playoff place with a seven-point advantage over the teams in fourth and fifth place going into Friday’s action.

If you’d like to keep up with Brown’s exploits, every game of the India Super League season airs on ESPN+, which of course is also the home of the USL Championship.

PAPE DIAKITE
Former Club: Tampa Bay Rowdies
New Club: Ho Chi Minh City FC (Vietnamese First Division)

After establishing himself as a central figure in the Tampa Bay Rowdies defense over the previous season-and-a-half, Pape Diakite’s next move has taken him to the far east. And while Ho Chi Minh City FC might not be the most recognizable name in the AFC Champions League, it was part of the competition this month after finishing second in the V.League 1 in 2019. Diakite’s first goal for his new club, in fact, came in its Qualifying Round contest against Thailand’s Buriram United on January 21, only for Buriram to take a 2-1 victory and eliminate HCMCFC from then competition.

After rolling out the red carpet for their new signing on social media, though, Diakite’s new club will be hoping he can help lead them to a first V.League 1 title since 2002 when the new season kicks off on February 22.

Caleb Richards seals Yeovil Town loan move

Richards has completed a deadline day move to join a growing number of the club's development talent looking to get regular game time away from Carrow Road.

The 21-year-old left back spent a season with the Tampa Bay Rowdies, making 34 appearances in the Rowdies' USL campaign and featuring in the USL play-offs.

Richards, who goes straight into the Glovers' squad for this weekend's National League clash against Chorley, joined Norwich in 2018 on a free transfer but has yet to make a senior appearance for the Canaries.

The former Blackpool trainee joins the likes of Simon Power, Akin Famewo and MK Dons' loan duo Carlton Morris and Louis Thompson in seeking first team football in January.

One weird thing: How Inter Miami lost the south Florida soccer war before kicking a ball

Awake, MLS sleepers, and rise from the dead of winter. January is almost over. And you know what that means? That’s right, the pinnacle of the sport: MLS preseason soccer. And you know what that means?

One Weird Thing is back, baby.

With the new year comes brand new teams to chronicle in all of their bizarre, existential endeavors, both on and off the field. And what’s more important for an MLS expansion franchise than a coach, a new stadium, a vibrant supporters culture or a robust set of sponsors? Celebrities. All the celebrities you can possibly cram into your social media feed.

Which makes it all the more strange that Inter Miami couldn’t lock down the throbbing, vodka-Red Bull heart of Miami celebrities: FRIGGIN’ PITBULL — MR. LOWER LEAGUE WORLDWIDE.

Wringing out celebrity endorsements for your MLS club is an inexact science. LAFC has made waves by getting absolutely any and every celebrity they can into the Banc. Or at least, all the...

The best way to pregame March’s Gasparilla Music Festival is to attend its Streetcar Live series, which features a stripped-down set on the TECO streetcar that travels throughout Ybor City and downtown Tampa.

Saturday’s installment features Dunedin rock band Row Jomah (frontman Joe Roma, pictured), which has been known to do a mean Talking Heads cover, so expect the small TECO streetcar to be chock full of good, danceable, vibes this weekend. This niche, traveling concert is free, but it’s not for the weak-stomached.
