Monteiro’s all about the press with the Union.
Finally, an answer to the question we’ve all been asking: Are cargo shorts underrated or overrated?

MLS
Here’s the updated Open Cup bracket.
San Diego is the USL Championship’s latest expansion team. And Landon Donovan is the new Executive VP of Soccer Operations.
The Union may not have any players thriving in new positions this season, but it’s newsworthy that the MLS said “new role, who dis?”
US
USA beat Sweden 2-0 yesterday to win their group and advance in the women’s World Cup. The USWNT will face Spain on Monday.
Alex Morgan may be injured – does that overshadow the USWNT’s perfect group play?

Messi’s penalty gives Argentina a point in the Copa America match against Paraguay.
Wooten is a professional signing and was presented, like Fabian, in a professional way. It’s been ten years but this club is starting to look and feel professional.
Wooten looks good to me (love how the Germans say his name after he scores). Also has an interview with him: https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2019/06/20/philadelphia-union-sign-forward-andrew-wooten-2-bundesliga
Cant say enough about how happy I am this team did not stand pat. To me, it really shows how the club is growing and how Tanner is a proper Sporting Director. They had a need. They filled it. Tanner has been doing this since his arrival. Beyond excited for the second half of the season.
