Friday Freedom Kicks: DC United acquire Derrick Williams, USWNT lose to Germany, MLS expansion draft, and more

It’s a rainy Friday in the District of Columbia, so let’s stay inside and talk about soccer!

D.C. United acquired defender Derrick Williams from the Los Angeles Galaxy this week for $180,000 in 2024 general allocation money. The Galaxy had previously paid D.C. $125,000 for Williams’s discovery rights.

The Washington Spirit haven’t announced any player trades or acquisitions yet this offseason, but they closed applications today on a number of technical staff positions, as they prepare to build up their medical and performance staff under Senior Director of Performance, Medical and Innovation Dawn Scott.
