Do you see the clubs as rivals at all? If not, who are your rivals?

SL Obviously, Orlando City is going to be the primary rival, being Florida's other MLS team. Miami FC and the Fort Lauderdale Strikers could also become rivals if enough games between the clubs occur. Also the New York clubs could become rivals based off the rivalries between other Miami-NY pro team (Dolphins-Jets, Heat-Knicks, Marlins-Mets). Lastly, Atlanta United, being the other MLS team in the Southeast could also become interesting.

DB Sure, once Beckham's team kicks off there will be a duel for supporters…but they are at least two years away and I sincerely believe that once people are aware of who and what Miami FC is, who and what Dade Brigade is our appeal will be undeniable. Also, there is the fact we are in two completely separate leagues and can only face off against each other in the Open Cup.

Our main rival from day one is going to be the Fort Lauderdale Strikers. They are a short distance away and already have all the old Miami hand-me-downs…it’s time to show them who Florida’s real team is. They may be happy being the other team, we’ll make sure to keep it that way.
