Shawn Barry at Korona Kielce

Godspeed to this thread.

American abroad comes home: Defender Shawn Barry, 27, signs with Real Salt Lake after 7 years in Austria, Germany and Poland. Most recently with Korona Kielce. Florida native played college at @UVAMenSoccer.

Barry has been deployed all over the field in his career, but he's been mostly a CB lately.

 

That makes three YAcquisitions for RSL this offseason if you count Lennon (and, of course, Henley.) Won't somebody think of the children, by which I mean those of us who frequent this forum?

 

Some highlights:

Come for the news and viewpoints, stay for the terrible, terrible jokes!

 

I realize he is in the US now, but thought it appropriate to add this call-up to the Puerto Rican NT for Nations League qualification:

⚽Les compartimos la lista de los 24 jugadores convocados para formar parte de #NuestraSelePR en lo que será su participación en el @CNationsLeague , la cual dará inicio el 9 de septiembre cuando la Selección visite a San Cristóbal y Nieves en el Warner Park.

Seems a good a time as any to re-up the goal Marc Cintron had the ultimate cup of Puerto Rican coffee, a goal against Spain in 2012.



And here's to Bill "Howlin' Mad" Gaudette. Good times.
