National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Tampa Bay Rowdies or The Villages that keep their silverware dream alive.
Little time to rest for the hosts, as they had a USL Championship fixture only three days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Oakland Roots.
