Well officially we should start a forum for the rivalries in Florida and having our own Cascadia Cup. but called The Tropicana Cup or Sunshine Cup or Ponce De Leon Cup. Here is some info about the Cascadia Cup:

Ponce de Leon Cup. Ponce de Leon was the first Governor of Puerto Rico before exploring Florida.

I like the Ponce de Leon Cup. If we win it we take it to his statue in San Juan and if one of the florida teams win you have to take it to St. Agustin to the statue there, they are identical replicas of each other.

I like it. Can't wait for Tampa Bay and Orlando to come on line. If MLS wants to ignore us fine, I'm all about some USL cup action!

WhiteStar Warriors · 18 Mar 2009, 08:22 PM

I think it's a start to a long-term rivalry. We should just focus on the USL for now and the fans... and show the MLS that USL is here to stay and Puerto Rico with it's performance shows how soccer should be played.
So hopefully we can get this cup up and rolling next year. I can't wait..

The thing is that St. Augustin is about 8 hours away from Miami

as a Neutral I like what i'm reading.

The name , and where to take it, is a spectacular idea. But for some reason the Ponce de Leon "Cup" is a bit of a tongue twister in my, neutral, opinion.

And if it's SG sponsored maybe it should be something entirely original to the four teams, see the Coffe pot between DC and Charleston.
