Good morning DC Footy Folk! I am coming to you (a bit late) from sunny LA! I am here for the Round of 32 match later this week (I may do a blog post about it after the fact). I’ve been enjoying all the offerings the City of Angels has, but I’ve also been keeping an eye on the World Cup and soccer news in general! Let’s dive in!
