FusionMutiny  The Fusion and Mutiny played more games than are listed on this page  Their rivalry lasted from       Rowdies vs Miami Toros   Any thought to expanding this rivalry to include its prehistory the  and  NASL Seasons when the Rowdies played against the Miami Toros who would become the the Strikers If we are including MLS matches this notion would also seem logical to me Cheers to all     Original research I know theres been a lot of earnest work here but the premise appears to be entirely original research It combines information and scores for every team from the two metropolitan areas whether there was any real connection or not The original Tampa Bay Rowdies were not related to the Tampa Bay Mutiny or the modern Tampa Bay RowdiesFC Tampa Bay The original Fort Lauderdale StrikersMiami Toros were not related to the second Fort Lauderdale Strikers the Miami Fusion or the third Fort Lauderdale StrikersMiami FC And of course several of those were named for or played in Miami rather than Fort Lauderdale I doubt that any source outside of Wikipedia has ever pulled them all together like this Most of the sources used here are either selfpublished blogs or they just give information on individual teams or games they dont make a claim about an overall rivalry lasting since the s Unfortunately this article may need a total reshifting in focus to keep it    Allow me to address your areas of concern about this page  THE EARLY YEARS  Perhaps you did NOT read the newspaper accounts cited in this page of the very first meeting between the original clubs in  Four minutes into the match and the players began to brawl Yup no rivalry that The Toros moved to Ft Lauderdale in  so from  it was always the same two teams playing The original Rowdies lasted until  and all of the subsequent Striker teams in that era had numerous NASLera Strikers playing for them That is part of what carried the rivalry on during those lean ASLAPSL years The other cited references span the years right up to the two franchises that play under the names Rowdies and Strikers in the NASL of today Many were published by the local media in the two markets some were done by the MLS and some by the new NASL Are these not varied and reliable enough for your tastes Or are you suggesting that every single article on the rivalry topic over the past  years needs to be cited to prove a rivalry existed and continues to exist   BLOGS AS A SOURCE A quick count of the sourcing shows  of the  cited sources are from blogs etc Even by the broadest of definitions ie    this is not most of the sources as you state It would be more accurate to say many of those blog citations are used only to verify final scores or attendance figures Again are you suggesting that every np article on every match be unearthed to confirm the scores Until the USSF sees fit to publish the recap of every sanctioned match in US history online resources will remain a hodgepodge Nearly all of the narrative of the page in question is supported by information published by reliable media outlets Closer examination will further show that even some of the blog sourced material happens to be previously published np photos andor articles that were scanned and posted in the blogs  MLS era In the MLS years the Mutiny had several former Rowdies working in their front office staff one of whom by the way now happen to work for the current Rowdies Both they and the Fusion had former NASLera Rowdies and Strikers as their head coaches at one time or another The Miami Ultras were originally the Fusions supporters They now follow the Strikers The connections were always there As a matter of fact inclusion of the MutinyFusion era
