Friday Freedom Kicks: Wayne Rooneys watch begins Sunday, Washington Spirit returns to action tonight, and mo – Black And Red United

Happy Friday! We are just about 48 hours out from Wayne Rooneys first match as head coach of D.C. United. If that doesnt throw a little pep in your step heading into the weekend, I dont know what will.

D.C. United continues to make moves to build out Rooneys squad, signing Victor Plsson from FC Schalke and David Ochoa from Real Salt Lake just this week. Lets hope the Black-and-Red have all the pieces they need (or are close to acquiring them) as the transfer window is about to slam shut on August 4.

Heres a fantastic first interview of Rooney and great behind-the-scenes content by Claudia Pagn to keep you busy until Sunday:

If youve been missing the Washington Spirit, youre in luck. Our defending champs take on North Carolina at 7:30 pm ET tonight! Andr has all the details on how to catch the match and what to expect. Make sure to stick with us tonight for your recap of North Carolina Courage vs. Washington Spirit.

In case you missed it, Ryan recapped a painful Loudoun United loss to Birmingham. If youre sleeping on Ryans great Loudoun content, youre missing critical insight on players that frequently appear in D.C. Uniteds 18 and the up-and-comers we could see on the first team in the near future.

Loudoun takes on Monterey Bay FC Union at Segra Field tomorrow, July 3, at 7:15 pm ET. Loudoun United will hold its inaugural D.C. United night and fans will be able to view the first teams MLS trophies.

Lets get this weekend started!
