Gift Monday traded to Boston, Jordan Farr recalled, and more: Friday Freedom Kicks
Happy Friday, and happy long weekend to those of you (like me) with Monday off! It might be a shorter Freedom Kicks from me today, as I am out of town visiting family for the weekend and dealing with the limitations of working on mobile, but we have some big local news stories to discuss.
Washington Spirit trades forward Gift Monday to Boston Legacy FC (Washington Spirit)
Gift Monday went from being Washington’s leading goal scorer last year to barely seeing any minutes this year, and with Ashley Hatch back and Clara Luvanga joining the team, it was clear that wasn’t changing. So this is certainly a good move from her perspective. The team will get some relief toward their transfer fee threshold.
D.C. United recalls goalkeeper Jordan Farr from his loan at Loudoun FC (D.C. United)
The ping-ponging Jordan Farr is back with D.C. United shortly after scoring a goal for Loudoun. I think Farr’s contract is nearing it’s end, but he’s a really fun player, and I hope he sticks around.
Episode 13: Jordan Retro 13s, extra wide please (Data Center Soccer)
Ryan Keefer recapped that very game on this week’s episode of his podcast. He’s also previewing an interview with Abdellatif Aboukoura early next week.
DC Power’s away match against Sporting JAX rescheduled for 5 p.m. EST on Sunday, Nov. 15 (DC Power FC)
Hurricane Isias forced the postponement of last night’s DC Power match.
Previewing USWNT vs. Spain – A solid test for the USA (SSFC)
The USWNT are playing a very exciting top-two match this weekend in Buzzard Point! I wish I could be there to watch it and hope some of you will be in attendance to cheer the US on.
No schedule from me this week – thank you, mobile WordPress app – but here’s a list of international games Spirit and Power FC players could be featuring in today from PJ:
Have a good weekend!
A couple of notes from my time in Charlotte this week:
I had a nascar driver compliment my DC United hat. He’s from DC and did some of the DCU summer camps so that was a fun interaction
It’s also been interesting to see the amount of activation that Charlotte FC has in this area. Lots of merch in local sports stores, ads for the games in local restaurants (even over an hour away from the stadium), several billboards around the area, etc. I’m not in DC much anymore to know how they do with all that, but it’s cool to see an MLS team really try to advertise themselves
Nada. Zilch. And they could do so much more.
