A dreary night in the Queen City.
Happy Thursday, everyone. We begin with the bad, a terrible loss for our beloved D.C. United:
Recap: Charlotte FC down D.C. United in the Queen City, 3-0 – BRU
The Black-and-Red don’t look good down in Charlotte, losing 3-0 to the new expansion team. Also, hopefully Taxi Fountas is okay.
Across the pond, the USWNT will be entering a sold out Wembley Stadium when they take on England on October 7th.
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!
All available general admission tickets for our October international against the United States have now SOLD OUT, with only hospitality options remaining on sale at this time. pic.twitter.com/lk4zrOVnub
