Hi. A little tired from the game and a little melancholy; doctor says our 7 month old has a severe allergy to our two cats (which we’ve had for a dozen years), so if you know anyone that wants to foster a couple of senior indoor felines, hit me up and such.
USMNT take point from Azteca Stadium with 1-1 draw against Mexico (us) - After seeing United States coach Bruce Arena talk about a plan for the Mexico and Trinidad and Tobago games a week ago when players came into camp, it reminded me you should never give out a long-term job extension contract with no merit.

Homegrown Watch: 5 players worth contracts (Top Drawer Soccer, $): Not the dollar sign as this is a paywall thing, but you know why this applies to D.C. United, I’d presume.
Christos confident heading into DC United game | So Much Sports Baltimore : So much so, they may even practice!
