James heads to Everton, Carlos Bocanegra gets into Hall of Fame, and more: Freedom Kicks for September 9, 2020

Happy Wednesday, folks. Lot of news from yesterday, so let’s get into it...

James Rodriguez has completed a transfer from Real Madrid to play at Everton this season. He reunites with Carlo Ancelotti, who brought James to the Bernabeu in 2014 and now has him at Goodison Park.

Congrats to Carlos Bocanegra, the lone inductee into the National Soccer Hall of Fame for 2020. The laundry list of players who were snubbed has called into question once again the Hall of Fame voting process.

Concacaf and FIFA have postponed the First Round of World Cup qualifying until March, which means the Final Stage of qualifying, where the United States will enter the competition, likely won’t take place until next fall.
