Good morning! The Washington Spirit play at Segra tonight, which means shortly after this post goes live, I will be in my car for the odyssey (this is a joke...but only just barely). D.C. United brought Chris Durkin back home, while the USMNT had plenty of chances to finally win the big one at the Azteca, but had to settle for a draw with Mexico.
It’s a lot! Let’s get into it:
Chris Durkin returns to D.C. United following Sint-Truiden departure, Houston Dynamo trade | Black and Red United
More on the Durkin deal here, and it’s a complicated one: United paid the transfer fee, but it’s Houston who selected Durkin in the allocation order (no, MLS has not gotten rid of this badly antiquated mechanism), and so United had to send some GAM to the Dynamo to complete the deal.
