Recaps of D.C. United’s 1-0 win over the New York Red Bulls by us, WaPo and MLS. Once a Metro with (gestures) all that.

Recapping the Washington Spirit’s 2-0 win over Racing Louisville? WaPo. Ours is coming up later this morning.

Emily Sonnett starts in USWNT’s 6-1 win over New Zealand (us): Good to see. SSFC with more.

USA 1-0 Jamaica - a late goal sends the Americans to the semis (SSFC): Oh yeah more D.C. United players missing games with D.C. United I can’t wait.

Meanwhile, United’s training site gets grass:

Loudoun lose 2-1 to Tampa Bay (us): Welp!

‘Ted Lasso,’ built on charm and empathy, won over America. It won over the soccer world, too. (WaPo): Paul Arriola is in this article? I mean, the show’s fine, so I get it.

Black Players for Change, Black Women’s Player Collective bring accessibility, representation (Tennesseean): Nice project here, including some familiar faces around these parts.

Meanwhile, Leo Jara has found a new home:

Anyway, it’s late, and I have to rest.
