Catarina Macario told reporters in Orlando that she gave thanks for her health, having feared at some points in her ACL recovery that she might not get back to this point.
I asked Emma Hayes how satisfying it is to watch Macario in full flight with the #USWNT:

As expected, D.C. United declines Christian Benteke’s contract option, making him a free agent, but “we remain in discussions regarding a potential return.”
DCU also declines options on Kristian Fletcher, Randall Leal, Derek Dodson and Rida Zouhir but in talks with Fletcher.

The Union finish another season short of the biggest title, and now big questions loom.
The system did not fail. It needs a little more off-the-dribble creation, not banishment (as much as some people might want this team to go away).
But that still needs saying:

Mikael Uhre is likely gone, and many players have contract options to consider. Who will handle that while Ernst Tanner is on leave? And as ever, who will decide how hard the team pushes next year?

A few weeks ago the owner of the Philadelphia Union visited NYC to tell some journos a story.
How did a team that ranks at the bottom of the league in so many statistical categories finish top of the MLS table - and rack up the most points over the past 5 seasons?
