in Sports/Top Headlines by

Were the Tampa Bay Rowdies offside? After a 2-1 loss to the New York Cosmos, that’s sure to be the subject of great debate for the Rowdies over the next few days.

He had received a nice cross from Joe Cole to apparently set up the goal, and replays seemed to indicate that the Rowdies were onsides on the play. Mwanga had missed on a…

Rowdies draw in Joe Cole’s debut after winning goal disallowed

in Sports/Top Headlines by

The script was perfect. The comeback was complete. The debut was perfect. And, for the Tampa Bay Rowdies, it was all waved off.

Tampa Bay Rowdies fall, 3-1, to undefeated Carolina Railhawks

in Sports/Top Headlines by
