I hadn't realized that Belgium beat the US team 5-2 in a "friendly" just last March. Surprised that was talked about more as it should have tempered expectations.

2-1 Maryland. Mason’s goal came on penalty kick. Their first shot on goal was in 72’

Not a bad result. Maybe we should start paying kids to come here from FC Barca like NC State is doing.

I did, it was a lot of fun. Tons of people there. Kanga was there by himself. Mason had a few chances to tie it late but couldn't capitalize.

Glad to hear there was a good crowd. Might have gone myself if the weather was halfway decent.

Hopefully sellouts for the Marshall and OSU games.

William and Mary on the 27th--they score a lot (in their 2 games). 5 goals in an L and 4 goals in a win.

Got Marshall on Sept 1 so it's great that they have some positive momentum heading into a home game vs a ranked team.
