    This whole article is nice- regardless of political alliance. The fact that he's kicking around a soccer ball on the White House lawn is pretty cool.

    The famous John Harkes adidas commercial circa 1996 did that was well, breaking into the lawn and striking a ball on house frame. IIRC Pele was celebrated by President Ford out on the lawn there circa 1976. Good images for the sport back then.

    I don't envy DC United's security detail, though. If this kid ever goes pro, they're going to have all kinds of security headaches with people wanting to make DC United about Trump and protesting matches as a result.

    Newly-elected New Jersey governor Phil Murphy. Owner of Sky Blue FC, a US Soccer supporter and possibly a Liverpool fan. Between him and Bill de blasio, that's two New York-area politicians who are big footy fans, right across the river from each other. Possibly another layer to the Red Bulls-NYCFC rivalry.

    De Blasio is a soccer fan? Didn't he kill NYCFC's stadium plan?

    Cillizza has real knack for zeroing in on the least important aspect of a story.

    Total hack. I have no idea why CNN employs that guy.
