USMNT to play Northern Ireland, U.S. Open Cup makes drastic changes, and more: Freedom Kicks for February 10, 2021

Happy Wednesday y’all. Another winter system is making its way to town, so before you hit up the store to get a bunch of food to ride out the 24 snowflakes that might drop over the next few days, let’s get you caught up with the news.

The United States Men’s National Team will take on Northern Ireland for just the 2nd time ever. No fans will be in the stands in Belfast, but it should be an intriguing matchup.

Only 8 MLS teams will be involved in this year’s U.S. Open Cup, along with 8 from USL Championship, 4 from the Open Division, 2 from USL League One, and 2 from the NISA.
