I was meant to play for Spain. Instead, I captain the World No. 101 – and it’s changed my life.

Three “sliding doors” moments almost broke @WgtnPhoenixFC. Now, they’re on the cusp of history.
How did they get here?
From a remark never forgotten to a CEO in a fountain - and that's just scratching the surface.

It’s been a hectic and sad 24 hours for so many of the colleagues I’ve worked with in the last 3 seasons.
The game finds a way and the action does continue. There’s never been a more important time to watch, and enjoy one of our best callers @P_frim on this vital game #CCMvWUN
