Happy Friday! As we count down the minutes to the holiday weekend (and a weekend full of D.C. United, Washington Spirit, and Loudoun United matches), let’s take a look at all the excellent soccer news out there!
Today is the last day of voting for MLS All-Star! We’re looking forward to seeing if Taxi Fountas will be representing the Black-and-Red in August!
