TGIF: Thank Goodness it's Friday, not Florence!
Rivalry Rumble | Standing Up for D.C.

Friday Flashback pic from that Last Call at RFK farewell match reminds us that we have now finally gotten our wish.
The chance to play our most hated rivals at Audi Field with playoff destiny in our own hands is what we have all been waiting for!
So get all your friends together, introduce them to #Lot8Life with some early tailgating at the ECC Matthew Henson Center, and prepare to bring it at Buzzard Point! Vamos United!

There are three ways you can pitch in for Big Rob in his battle against leukemia:
Add to your wardrobe by ordering a shirt with Dave Johnson's image and signature line, with all proceeds to benefit Rob's fund. These awesome shirts will only be available for a few more days, so what are you waiting for?!
Before Sunday's match, supporters will be manning donation buckets on behalf of Big Rob, at the main plaza outside Audi Field and in the concourses. Please give generously!
Can't make the match? You can go directly to Rob's new GoFundMe site!
In the News

Pablo's Got a New Gig! Well worth subscribing to the Athletic if this piece on a special partnership between Wayne and Lucho is any indication.
What is FIFA up to Now? Break out your abacus because there will be math on this test in the battle between Infantino and the big clubs!
Stay Away from Banana Peels! Yup. Let's use that home field advantage to lock it down!

Number Three?! Really can't believe our match against Montreal wasn't on the list; instead they choose a different Canadian side.
Let's Get Philosophical. The topic of the direction of the USMNT will likely be a tailgate staple for quite some time.
Award Winning as Always. DC SCORES has been named one of the finalists for the 2018 Mayor's Arts Awards for Excellence in Arts Education!
