I coached\played in the FSSL (Florida Suncoast Soccer League) Cup Final at the Rowdies yesterday and spoke to one or 2 people about Joe Cole.
Although it’s a small, probably 7,000 seater former baseball stadium, the settings and surroundings are absolutely superb.
It’s right in downtown St. Pete, on the water, with views of the marina close by and if you want to earn loads of money, be idolized by fans and not have to exert to much energy and still look quality, this is the place to be.
From what they were telling me, he was here on vacation previously and came and watched a game and was really impressed with it all.
They are all stunned that someone of his caliber agreed to play for them and to be honest if he isn’t THE stand out player in the NASL then he isn’t trying.
The standard is good, but it ain’t that good.
The Rowdies are trying to make a push for an MLS place and this goes a long way to proving they can attract big players.
They also mentioned he is flying in this week sometime, but I don’t remember if they said he was starting this Saturday’s home game against Rayo OKC (Oklahoma City)
If he is.. I’ll be there.
PUSB!!
