It’s Friday, and for me that’s great news, because it means a massage that will hopefully break up the knot in my back that is causing occasional, excruciating nerve pain. We have little D.C. United news (but not no D.C. United news), a good deal of Washington Spirit news, and a CCL game delayed by bees. Yes, bees.
We start with your Taxiarchis Fountas watch: Taxi came on in the 62nd minute of Rapid Wien’s 2-1 win over Vitesse in the Europa Conference League. It’s hard to glean much from the data, though, because three minutes after he came in, Rapid defender Filip Stojkoviu0107 got a second yellow card, and they had to just hang on for dear life.
