Gelmin Rivas to D.C. United, continued fallout at Real Salt Lake, and more: Freedom Kicks for 9/1/2020

Good morning, here’s some soccer things!

D.C. United acquires striker Gelmin Rivas | Black and Red United
The fanbase reaction to D.C. United signing a forward seems to be irritation that Gelmin Rivas is not a well-known player. I get it, and his resume doesn’t scream Golden Boot, but MLS is a weird league. Sometimes a guy arrives with no expectations and finds the league perfect for them. For me, Rivas means we will have fewer games with non-forwards trying to get the job done up front, and that needed to be taken care of.
