Match Recap – Tampa Bay Rowdies vs Louisville City – 11/20/2021 – 2021 Playoffs

Seven years of existence and seven straight trips to the Eastern Conference finals. While the success never gets old, simply making it to the ECF isn’t the main objective. It is the one match that stands between the club and a shot at a third star. It would be a tall order in 2021. The Tampa Bay Rowdies are quite the formidable opponent and managed to stop City short in 2020. Was this set to be the year for revenge, or would LouCity have a long trip back home from Tampa? Loui

What Are Goals Added (G+)?

Those who have been following this site are likely well aware of my appreciation for data. With the correct understanding of the data points and taken within context, it can help add to one's understanding of a match and a team’s performance. Previously, I had written a guide on one of the most popular advanced soccer statistics, expected goals (xG). xG certainly is a great statistic, however, its measure is limited to goal-scoring sequences. In the 90+ minutes of action on t

Next Match – Tampa Bay Rowdies vs Louisville City – 11/20/2021 – 2021 Playoffs

Another year and another trip to the Eastern Conference Finals. The Charlotte Independence were formidable opponents, but not enough to stop Louisville City’s inevitable trip to the ECF. As if it was destiny itself, the Tampa Bay Rowdies have also marched their way to the ECF as well, setting up a rematch of the 2020 final. While the Rowdies got the better of the previous encounter, ending LouCity’s season in Lynn Family Stadium, will Louisville be the ones to send the Rowdie

Match Recap – Louisville City vs Charlotte Independence – 11/13/2021 – 2021 Playoffs

With the Miami match in the rear-view mirror, Louisville City’s next focus was their second-round opposition, the Charlotte Independence. The Independence entered this matchup as the #2 team in the Atlantic boasting statistics quite comparable to LouCity. Thankfully, Morados had earned the slight edge by being able to play the match on their home field, Lynn Family Stadium. The winner of this matchup would earn a trip to Tampa to face the Rowdies (who bested the Legion) in th

Round one is in the books and Louisville City bested The Miami FC, AKA LouCity South. While Miami was not exactly a walk in the park, this next match should be an even closer affair. The Charlotte Independence will come to town to serve as LouCity’s round two opposition after their 3-1 win against Memphis 901. While the Independence has had numerous off-the-pitch issues, such as a highly problematic owner and timely employee payments, they have been rather successful on the p

The playoffs are always a special occasion, but the return of three respected former players makes this one even more memorable. A Miami FC side touting Speedy Williams, Paco Craig, and Richy Ballard made their way north for their first visit to Lynn Family Stadium to take on Louisville City in the first round for the 2021 playoffs. Coming off a huge win over the Birmingham Legion to lock up first in the division, LouCity appears to be rounding into form just in time for the

With the regular season now completed, it’s time for the playoffs. The Birmingham Legion fought hard and took the battle for the top of the Central Division to the last match, but it was Louisville City that stood victorious. With that spot secured, LouCity is now set to play the fourth seed from the Atlantic Division, Miami FC. While there are several storylines tied to this match (first meeting of the clubs, playoffs, etc.), it is the return of LouCity’s alumni Speedy Willi

Match Recap – Birmingham Legion vs Louisville City – 10/30/2021

The last game of the regular season. The match that would determine the top spot in the Central Division. The Birmingham Legion had done well to not only close the gap that Louisville City had in first, but to eventually overtake them as the division leader. LouCity, meanwhile, has had their struggles on the road but has kept first accessible most recently with a desperately needed a win over Memphis 901. With the Legion holding a two-point lead over Louisville, a win in Birm
