CONGRATS, Bruce! Huge that the league deferred on the name. Community power that you were a big part of!!
Ps don't sweat the "FC" in the name. Let's take it back from helmetball.
Bruce love everything you contribute to soccer and shame on me for having it take reading your name in an mlssoccer.com article to remember your amazing site!
Keep up the good work!
-David Fox (from way back when, peanuts wings in KC and watching sporting play with Graham.)
Thank you lukacs slc and David Fox!!! That means a lot.
