    Well, now with the Rowdies he's going to be playing basically for the food and a pack of smokes.

    Which tells me he probably wasn't making much in Finland. Unlike the Serbians and Brazilians, though, at least the Finns did pay.

    Well, at least he is paying his own way.

    I spend a couple days in St. Petersburg right around Christmas last year. My impression was very positive--great downtown, beautiful old residential areas, and the Rowdies have a real presence in the city.

    I wouldn't mind coming down for a game, actually.

    Yup, Nevsky prospect is a nice walk, good clean, consistently running metro system, lots of interesting museums and cultural places of interest, some good Georgian food too.

    oh, wait.....Flooorida :p

    So it's not just gun shops, stripper bars, & fast food joints? I'm disappointed. I was already making plans to go there "on business."

    I'm sure Tampa, proper, has plenty of all that.

    Is the field size a problem?

    That is a nice little ballpark, but I always worry about baseball stadia for footie.

    Will have to come up for a game since I live over the bridge.

    110x70 it's on the narrow side but falls in regulations.

    Those are Yankee Stadium type dimensions. RFK is 110 yds long and when I watched maches there, it seemed easy for the keepers to punt it back and forth to each other if so inclined.

    Saw a bit of the Rowdies game on TV against Ft Lauderdale i think. He came on as a sub and actually looked decent. Skill level is still there, but he will need to work to get into game shape.

    Rongen seemed pleased with his performance.

    This actually makes me want to watch a game. Anyone know how I do so? I have Kodi on my TV and all so I just need a website link or app or Youtube channel.

    I watched one of the Rowdies matches on WatchESPN App via Apple TV and I don't have a cable subscription. I've no idea if you can do that via laptop.

    Either your response has nothing to do with what is being posted here or your thoughts had to do with the posts here but you did not include them all in what you wrote.

    Yeah, forgot to include that he is with the Rowdies and that he knew who Freddy Adu was before things went "sour".
