Whaddup, friends! It’s Tuesday, it’s Freedom Kicks, it’s soccer. In case you missed it, there was quite a bit flying around yesterday about D.C. United—are they going after Nigel de Jong? Krisztian Nemeth? Marcus Olsson? The closure of the transfer window is nigh, so we’ll know soon enough, but in the meantime rumors are fun, aren’t they? (Except the Nigel de Jong one, maybe. Boy bye.)
Anyway, let’s take a look at some other stuff.
