MN = Magic Number (number of points we need or closest team needs to drop for us to achieve that goal)

PPGN = Points Per Game Number (Number of points we need if the other teams do no better than maintain their current PPG)

We have been eliminated from finishing anywhere in the top 4 spots so we will start with #5

"We can not choose games any more. We need to win...." Also Evander on pushing himself and the team and giving his regards to the backline (Nick + Teenage)

AI tells me it is his 10th in league play, 13th in all competitions. Not bad for a guy playing on the senior minimum salary of 113k. Nicely worked team goal.

In English & Spanish for your listening pleasure. ¡Que Golazo!

If any FCC fans made the trip to DC, some of the local fans will be heading to Dacha Beer Garden in Navy Yard before the game! We’d love to see Blue and Orange there!

Glad we have him now. Sucks he's missing tonight's game.

Boys did good on Wednesday to give us a win, now they have to do it again, against the same team.

Will DC mix up the gameplan? Will PRO fuck up yet another obvious call in our opponents favor? Will the team be able to handle yet another injury, with Malacia out on an ankle sprain?

Let’s find out! 7:30 in the District! Catch it at your local watch party! COY FCC!

Stiven was a starter in a 4-1 win over Portugesa in the final of the Taca Guanabara. Congrats!

In his first match back from an ankle injury, Yerson Mosquera debuts as a forward for injury riddled Wolves in their 1-1 draw with Portsmouth.

Noonan on how to build momentum from Wednesday's win: "Keep winning"

Checking to see if there is a pregame meetup anywhere.

Get in here, everyone! This might be the peak of our season so let’s enjoy it.

Can’t believe yall let me get all the way home before a match thread popped up

The Queen City's Teen influencer has his moment.

One time he high fived me, another time he took my girlfriends phone and snapped a selfie and when I got his autograph at a season ticket event he was friendly and conversational.

I’ve got 3 tickets in section 214, would like someone that can use all 3 and cheer on the Orange and Blue to a win tonight!
