Hello again. This week, we cover Loudoun United’s league-leading 10th draw of the season, a scoreless one with Detroit City. This one, like other recent ones, was encouraging, I think, so there are some positives the team hopes to spring off of, despite an age-old question on soccer reporting: what’s more fun to write about?

Later, Bolu Akinyode joins me for a few minutes, and we go over some of the stops he’s made in the league and his role as elder statesman of sorts. Lots of USL names tossed around in here, including a potential comp for Richie Aman.

This week, I don’t have a guest, just my dulcet tones. I talk about Loudoun’s loss to Charleston, but more than that, talk about the importance of the news of Thor Ulfarsson’s transfer (back) to Iceland. I also talk about the roster piece I did on D.C. United, and why I feel strongly about it, or as strongly about D.C. United that I can feel these days, and dust off the roster/transfer nerdery jacket*.

Wow, a Loudoun win? Go figure! Anyway, a look back at Loudoun’s shutout win over Indy in segment one.

In segment two, I talk to Richie Aman about his last few weeks as a college player and winning the College Cup with Washington (spoiler: it was a LOT of travel), before getting drafted by D.C. United and loaned to Loudoun. He also covers the *MANY CONFLICTING FEELINGS he has around Loudoun’s friendly with D.C.
