River City Red Army

My tee was the first one of the night. No number though.

Completely killed my viewing of MLS. Seen maybe 2-3 games in the last two years.

It's fucking insane that a USL owner shut down his team and is even being considered to revive the team in two years while his players are shit out-of-luck. And you're being dense if you think it couldn't happen to your team as well. Get behind your players and push for the ratification of the CBA!

Great job all around.

Everyone is on board the fringe train.

A must read for all USL supporters. Sidenote it's hell of impressive that the Kickers while not in USLC have outlasted 12 USLC teams and I don't know how many USL1 teams.

Some soccer pics. Ejercito Rojo with a 2-1 win to advance to the final 8 in the Copa Bruce. Well done lads, well done.

It's hared to be surprised by anything FIFA does and this no exception.

Support the RVA Community Fridges.

Since this is a Richmond Kickers supporters account I'll give you my USL1 Playoff predictions. Knoxville is going to run over Naples. Somehow Hearts of Pine will win in Spokane. In the final after much hype about Hearts saving US Soccer they'll be crushed 5-0 by Knoxville. HOP fans will know pain.

Posted a bunch of cyclocross photos over on RVAHub Insta if you're bored.

Best kit in the history of US Soccer ever. I will die on this hill.

One of the few signing I knew was set to happen and thrilled to see if formally announced. Dakota is a great player and person.

Getting on my after lunch. This pile of photos can edit themselves.

Oh, FFS. How any soccer lover with any moral backbone supports FIFA and as a result the World Cup is beyond me.

I worked my 3rd election yesterday. It's a long day but I urge anyone who can to volunteer to be an election officer. I'm guesstimating that the avg. age at my polling station was 65+. I'm 57 and one of the youngest. We need younger folks to step and join the process. Bonus: you get pins.

One of the reasons for moving was to be closer to family his wife's (embarrassed I can't remember her name) I believe. I don't think we'll see NCFC come back at all. I new time might come out of Raleigh if the stadium gets built, big if, but it certainly won't be NCFC. So many bridges burnt.

Off-season current hobby. 3d printing bird skulls. Not my models. Two ravens and a peregrine falcon. Currently on the printer a great blue heron skull.

That's impressive.

Congratulations to Darren Sawatzky on making Week 34 Coach of the Week!!

texoma YIKES

I will pretend to be patient while I await these assessments. It's going to be a wackier postseason than normal this year.

Texoma FC Announces Self-Relegation to USL League Two After one season, the 2025 expansion club exits the professional ranks

Texoma FC will be self-relegating to USL League Two, while leaving the door open for a future return or partnership with pro soccer projects in North Texas.

All 2025 players become free agents.

This is not something I enjoy reporting on.

Legend.

Not surprising but hate to see any USL1 shrinkage.

I'm so surprised by this news. What are the odds that a stadium would end up costing the city more? 98-100% is my guess.

NWSL Supporter Groups As NWSL supporters associations representing thousands of fans across the country, we invite the NWSL and its fans to join us in taking a vocal and visible stand in support of the transgender community and against all gender-based harassment. Women's soccer exists because society refused to accept exclusion. Our game was built through generations of struggle-for gender equity, LGBTQ+ rights, and racial justice. Efforts to exclude trans athletes are fueled by the same forces of misogyny and bigotry that have long tried to dictate who belongs. These efforts undermine the spirit of women's sports and harm all athletes by reinforcing narrow, discriminatory ideas about gender.

From the field to the stands, the LGBTQ+ community has always been a vital and visible part of the NWSL, and for many of us, women's sport is a safe haven—a place where we have found community and belonging while being our full selves. Come to an NWSL game, and you will see not just athleticism and competition, but joy and togetherness. Our league, where queer and trans kids can see themselves reflected on the field and in the stands, is proof that welcoming everyone makes us all safer.

Now, as the trans community faces escalating attacks driven by harmful legislation and damaging public rhetoric, we must continue that fight by standing firmly and vocally, together, for inclusion in sports. It is on all of us to ensure that every match, every event, and every space under the league's banner remains safe, inclusive, and free from hate-for everyone. Silence is not neutrality. Speaking out matters. Showing your support for trans athletes, and trans people, matters. Let's work together to ensure women's soccer continues to be a space of inclusion, safety, and joy for all.

🏳️‍⚧️ Today, and every day, we stand with supporters groups across the NWSL to say - loud and clear: Trans People Belong.

In the stands, on the pitch, in our communities - everywhere.

Everyone deserves to feel safe, respected, and celebrated.

No exceptions. ❤️🖤
