Rowdies Video - Indoor Soccer: Rowdies vs. Zenit of Leningrad 3/9/1977

"The Russians are Coming....The Russians are Coming...."
For weeks prior to their indoor exhibition against Zenit of Leningrad, the Tampa Bay Rowdies pushed the game as an extension of the cold war. The Russians beat the Rowdies 8-7 at the Bayfront Center in St. Petersburg on March 9, 1977. The announcer was Tom Keene, with help from Gordon Hil. That's some homer-iffic fanboy nonsense right there.
Many thanks to Kenn Tomasch.
