DOWN WITH THE HOP FRONT OFFICE

DOWN WITH THE HOP FRONT OFFICE

The entire Club has been a pain in the ass since day one as reported by many fans in the Barra. And after altercations and a very disgusting moment in Portland, it's safe to say this front office and its president can suck it!

Pre-Match Essentials | Rhode Island FC vs Tampa Bay Rowdies | Sat May 9, 2026 | 7:30 PM ET

Keeping this week’s edition a little more minimal than usual due to a loss in the family, but still wanted to get the key matchday info out there. Appreciate you all. ❤️

The Matchup

Rhode Island FC returns home looking to bounce back after last week’s 3-1 loss to Birmingham snapped a four-match unbeaten run in league play.

Standing in the way: the Eastern Conference-leading Tampa Bay Rowdies, currently the last unbeaten team left in the USL Championship at 5W-0L-2T.

That said, RIFC has quietly become a nightmare matchup for Tampa Bay. Rhode Island is 3W-1L-0T all-time against the Rowdies and has won the last three meetings, including a dominant 5-0 win at Centreville Bank Stadium last October, still the largest shutout win in club history.

A Few Quick Notes

  • Tampa Bay has allowed a league-low 4 goals through 7 matches
  • RIFC has scored 8 unanswered goals across the last two meetings against the Rowdies
  • Leo Afonso scored his second goal in as many league games last weekend
  • Tampa Bay completely rebuilt its roster from last season, with every goal this year coming from first-year Rowdies players
