Happy Wednesday, everyone. We got Champions League on the television again today, so before we get into that, the news from yesterday.
Phoenix Rising has decided to relinquish their right to host the USL Championship final after only gaining that “right” by gaining the 3 points from San Diego Loyal’s forfeit to them for a Phoenix player directing a homophobic slur at Collin Martin. Finally, someone steps up and does the right thing, but it shouldn’t have taken this long.
The new Angel City NWSL franchise has a “new” name...Angel City Football Club. Sounds like another Los Angeles Football Club we know.
