Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister is still in the darkness.

At the #USMNT match in Charlotte, we asked the Governor about his all-time favorite soccer players with NC ties.

The man knows ball.

A few comments acknowledge the general idea of a 250th-anniversary monument but still oppose this specific proposal due to its design, scale, or placement (e.g., one historian supported commemoration but rejected the height and called it “outlandish”).

The National Capital Planning Commission has released the public comments on Trump’s Monumental Arch, and out of 1,696 comments at least 99% are against.

No joke: pretty much every comment reviewed strongly opposes the arch.

• Cost/waste of taxpayer money, traffic/safety concerns, lack of proper process/historic review, and inconsistency with established plans (e.g., original Arlington Memorial Bridge Commission intent for framing columns, not a massive arch).

For the past two weeks, Soccer Sheet investigated the demise of Spokane Zephyr FC, the first USL Super League team to fold.

Multiple sources allege the Zephyr’s ownership were in breach of their duty of care to players and staff, with players being left to pick up the pieces.

To be fair we spent a lot of time together in Clive, IA in 2007-2008.

Boy was that office cold.

My Player of the Matchday votes this week.

Evander had 5 goal contributions. Lights out play this week. Clear winner.

Berterame had 3, as did Suárez. Suárez will win the fan vote because Miami, but Evander had what would be a career match for most MLS players.
