Chronicle Soccer Watch on Austin FC’s first player signing:
“It seems like a confident move, and a forward-looking one: They didn’t need to splash money on a marquee name, because they’ve already got the city’s attention; a youngster with a lot of upside is more on brand.”
Everyone’s got opinions about new logos, and here’s ours on Racing Louisville FC’s, the team joining NWSL next year: nice colors. 😎 (Sharp design, too.)
From @3rdDegreeNet – Dan Hunt discusses how FC Dallas’s Florida getaway fell apart:
“With an inability to train for a further week prior to the tournament, FC Dallas was at a heightened risk of injury for the 18 remaining available players.”
Interesting takeaways from this SportBusiness article. Hopeful this tournament can safely happen.
“There will also be enhanced visual effects, including increased aerial coverage via drones, goalpost cameras, and super slow-motion cameras behind the nets.”
