Hey it’s the fireworks day
Hi there, so I’ve been sick, my older child is dodging Covid at his school and D.C. United plays tonight. Good times!
Let’s start with this:
The boys in Black-and-Red have done it!

Good on the kids, and here is a yes/and tweet:

Now I don’t know how whatever D.C.’s plans in Baltimore have, if any, but using the organizational growth as a means of providing playing time at advanced levels, and having that cascade back down to the youth ranks, that’s a good thing.
Recaps of the Washington Spirit 2-1 loss to San Diego by us and WaPo.
DCU’s Najar speaks on his return from injury, Nashville loss (WTOP): PLEASE stay healthy Andy.
Jackson Hopkins, US Under-20s not feeling the pressure at CONCACAF U-20 Championship (PSW): Homegrowns are the thing in the links! And ALMOST AS ON CUE, nice pass by the kid:
¡Gooooooooool de Estados Unidos!
Wolff la manda a guardar y el Team USA ya lo gana al 18′.
1-0 #CONCACAF | #TeamUSA | #RepúblicaDominicana

8 Days, 3 Trophies (Protagonist Soccer): Down the road about 10 minutes from Segra is this growing beast of the lower levels.
Recap: Loudoun allows another late goal in 2-2 draw (us): Loudoun’s last five games at Segra Field: three wins, sandwiched by draws with 95th minute (or later) goals scored.
Anyway, brace yourself for whatever it is we’ll see tonight.
