That half from LU was even worse than DCU’s last night. So far only thing of value is the LU shirt I bought and my daughter’s sweatshirt.
Final thoughts -- Wilfried Nancy can coach. Sitting on the west sidelines you could see him talking to and directing players. He also would give a thumbs up to a player when they did something good that showed tactical awareness. I can see why he succeeded in Montreal and is succeeding in Columbus -- maybe the best "coach" in the league. The competitive part of the match was over quickly. LU gave up a goal to Yeboah in about the 8th minute -- near post shot on the ground when the 'keeper gave way too much space. That was followed shortly thereafter by the DOGSO red on Samake (fully deserved) and it was game, set and match. LU was just overmatched almost from the start. My first time at Segra -- wonderful location and great sight lines. Not impressed with the field though. Fake grass with little rubber chips in it -- the ball would raise a rooster tail of rubber chips when it ran along the pitch. Field also plays very slowly. I would think it would be hard to properly weight a pass on that surface.
Bill Hamid back in town tomorrow to take on D2 - DCU! And only $5 to see our local boy made good. Web Version $5 FLASH SALE TICKETS HERE! Loudoun United FC vs. Memphis 901 Wednesday, August 2nd Kickoff at 10:45am Gates open at 9:45m Segra Field
Loudoun continues to say 10:45 kickoff on twitter, etc - but ESPN+ seems equally as adamant that it is at 11:00 - DCU said their Pumas game was on at 10:30p the other night, but Univision said 11:00 and was correct. I think I'll believe the broadcaster
The start time does seem quite weird if they want to maximizing sales/attendance. I guess they were expecting extreme heat? Or maybe they are trying to avoid competing with leagues cup? Yes, Billy still plays for them (1 of 4 keepers) but is not on this game-day roster. Hmmmm...
Does this go here or in the Alumni thread 𝘽𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘿𝙈𝙑 👊📰 Loudoun United FC sign veteran midfielder Drew Skundrich to a two-year contract— Loudoun United FC (@LoudounUnitedFC) November 16, 2023
So, another similar question - I had seen the name Cannon next to the line for Goalkeeper Coach before, but it never occurred to me that it was THAT Cannon, GR - did he not play for us for a hot minute? Loudoun United FC parts ways with Assistant Coach, Garland (GR) Cannon, after serving out his contract. We thank GR for his contributions to the club and wish him well on the next part of his journey. pic.twitter.com/TGbJ40eIYp— Loudoun United FC (@LoudounUnitedFC) November 28, 2023

That is a great shelter. My daughter picked up a senior guinea pig from there recently. It’s about 4 years old and was the last small mammal in the shelter. She thought it would be happier in her home with another pig who had just lost its cage mate to cancer.
Interesting, now that they are not under the boot of DCU as strongly any more, Loco and Segra no longer forcing me to sign into ticketbastard to see/sell my tickets We are excited to announce our partnership with SeatGeek as the new Official Ticketing Partner of Loudoun United (FC, pronounced phonetically; comment mine), and Segra Field!
