    Saw a ton of TBU jerseys there yesterday and heard that TBU is in serious discussions about formalizing their relationship in time for the MLS application deadline.
    MLS application due in less than 3 weeks.

      The training an development in FKK is way better than in OCYS. The training and development in OCYS is terrible. Even in the DA teams, the development is questionable. They might win some games now because they focus on athleticism at a young age, but their technical skills and thinking and decision making on the field are poor.
      Can you explain the FKK records in NPL? 6 wins, 22 losses and 3 ties for the boys ages 13 through 18?

      A couple of the age groups have ZERO wins.

      Not a lot of training and development going on from what I can see.

        We love what Bill has been able to do. Al Lang Stadium is super cool. You can’t get a better environment, right on the waterfront. This is the largest market that we’re not in. If you look at the top 15-18 DMAs, this is the largest of those where we don’t have a team in, so that’s intriguing to us,” Don Garber said at a University of South Florida lecture in October. “We’ve shown that we’re more successful in New York with two teams in New York. The rivalry between Red Bulls and New York City FC has helped the league and has certainly helped both clubs. And I think we’re going to see this thing just explode in LA with two teams in Los Angeles. In Orlando’s case, I’m convinced that at the time that we decide that we want to come back into this region, we’ll sit down and have a conversation with the owners there and figure out a way to make that work as we’ve done throughout the expanded rollout of our league.”

          Edwards has promised to fund the entire project privately, with supporting investors. So where does this bid rank compared to the Miami, Raleigh, St. Louis, etc. of the expansion world?

          * Finances – MLS wants stable ownership in place. Raleigh appears to have a central backer, whereas St. Louis’ plans of state money is clearly not coming any time soon. If Edwards truly can handle it privately, that should speed up the bid timeline.
          * Stadium – The club already owns the ground; it wouldn’t require much involvement from the city due to staying within current limits; and it sits right on the water. A great TV view, much like the Union’s stadium.
          * Market – Ranked as the #11 TV market in the U.S., the MLS can’t go wrong by adding Tampa Bay. Increased TV ratings, and in a city that is use to supporting professional teams. It would be hard to imagine that they would have a difficult time filling 18,000 seats.
          * Structure – With a team already in existence and playing the USL, filling out a full MLS roster and staff wouldn’t be a big challenge. Following the model of Orlando, they should be able to easily transition into the top level.

            Add to the list:
            * Rivalry - Another positive would be the built-in rivalry between the Rowdies and Orlando by having a team on each end of I-4 . The rivalry would sell tickets on both ends of I-4.

              * Tourists - Tampa/St. Petersburg beaches get a ton of European tourists who would surely buy tickets to an MLS match while on vacation. Don't think many of the competing cities (think Cincinnati) can say that.

                  Not so much. That is a different set of tourists from a different set of orginating countries.

                    FKK Boys ECNL lol

                    FKK puts kids in teams not with the purpose to win a game, but with the purpose for them to learn and get better. They play kids up all the time. The development of the kid is priority. This does not happen in OCYS. In OCYS, winning is always priority.

Kraze/Krush were a band of gypsies out begging for passes from every club in town prior to partnering with FSA. It was FSA/Seminole Soccer and the resources they already had in place that earned ECNL. HM was only used to facilitate the process and they couldn't dump him fast enough afterward.
                      You have no clue what was going on at the time CFK earned ECNL do you. The Kraze/Krush merged with CFU way before ECNL was earned and I think that the merger was before the ECNL league was even around. So therefore what the othe poster said is true, CFK earned ECNL before they merged with OC who had taken over FSA the year before. At the same time that they earned ECNL, CFK and Rush put a proposal together for DA which they received and then moved that to OC at the same time since CFK merged with OC. Wow, wonder how the central florida landscape would be different if CFK hadn't merged with OC since that added 2000 kids to the youth program for them.

                        This is simply ludicrous. You're getting that Alternative Facts thing down pat!

                          FKK, like most other clubs, puts kids on teams to meet their participation requirements for the different leagues they participate in. It has nothing to do with the ability of the players on the team, particularly on the boys' side.

                            TBU would be a great fit for the "youth programming." They have a large and growing footprint on both sides of the bridge in the Tampa Bay area and a lot of good momentum.
                            Boom!!
