Happy Wednesday, everyone. We have a few huge matches that everyone should tune into tonight, but before we do, we gotta lead with the biggest news from yesterday:
A major change is coming to Black and Red United - BRU
Our goat, Jason Anderson, is signing off after 12 years of starting and running this here site. He’s taking a new job with ProSoccerWire, and dammit if he isn’t the most deserving. His hard work to bring us coverage of both D.C. United and the Washington Spirit was tireless yet detailed and simply was world class. We’re gonna miss Jason around here, but he frankly is the reason why a lot of us are here. Myself included. He along with Adam brought me on to write here and if it wasn’t for his support, I wouldn’t be the manager of Stars & Stripes FC today.
From all of us, Jason...thanks my man. Congratulations doesn’t seem strong enough to describe our pride and admiration for you. The GOAT!

Seattle will be rocking tonight as the Seattle Sounders will attempt to become the first MLS team in 22 years to win a confederation trophy. They take on Pumas UNAM in the second leg of the Concacaf Champions League Final before what should be a sellout crowd at Lumen Field.
Carlo Ancelotti likely to retire after Real Madrid but could be tempted by Canada job - ESPNFC
While it is expected that the Bernabeu will be Carlo Ancelotti’s final stop in his legendary career, he left open the door to potentially coaching Canada’s men’s national team if the head coaching job opened for the 2026 World Cup.
