Onyewu retires, Campeones Cup, and more: Freedom Kicks for 9/18/18

PS there’s still no USMNT coach.

Guys...I need a moment here to complain about the wicked sunburn I have from Sunday’s game. IT IS RIDICULOUS. My legs look like Ross on that one episode of Friends when he only gets a spray tan on one side of his body. I will never trust a weather app again. Overcast was a LIE. And also I will never forget my sunglasses again.

OK. Anyway. Soccer! Let’s do some Freedom Kicks.

I love stories like this. I, too, would consider accepting the USMNT coaching job if it were offered to me. I will also now reveal my interest in becoming the lead singer of a 90s cover band, if approached. And should the opportunity arise, I would have to consider a position as Chief Master of the Universe.
