Freedom Kicks for 5 February 2015

I meant to get to the Freedom Kicks earlier today, but I'm at the beach and on beach time. So deal with it.

Quality, Depth in D.C. United 2015 Signing Day class | D.C. United: D.C. United's Academy teams are going to an impressive slate of schools, including three to Jason's Maryland and one to my College of William & Mary.

2015 PRO SCHEDULE ANNOUNCED - Richmond Kickers: The Richmond Kickers only have one back-to-back gamedays, and no two in three days. Looks like conferences are good for USL PRO.

Jurgen Klinsmann says Miguel Ibarra's future with USMNT bright: "He has a lot of cards in his pockets" | MLSsoccer.com: Sigh. I mean, Ibarra may be good, but he's also the poster boy for Jurgen's hate of MLS.

Joey Saputo aims to bring 'buzz' back to Montreal Impact | CBCSports.ca Mobile: Maybe signing old Italian who are about to break down isn't the best way to generate buzz.

Mexico manager Miguel Herrera sees no problem with players joining 'growing' MLS: Well, at least one national team coach likes MLS.

Rowdies sign veteran MLS player - SaintPetersBlog: Maicon Santos is joining Marcelo Saragosa in Tampa Bay with Thomas Rongen. No word if Mike Sanders was included in the deal.

Leaked Sounders shirt has ominously absent comma - Sounder At Heart: "Come on Sounders" has a very different meaning than "Come on, Sounders." Watch them freak out.

Finally, an interesting tidbit

A source has revealed to me @dcunited is in talks with a star from our U.S. U20 youth national team. #usmnt
