X-mas ornament. Will have a limited number available at our holiday gathering on 12/14.

Depressing but good read. If USL let's NCFC jump into D1 after this it will be an injustice.

You're all about the turkey right now, but put 12/14 on your calendars! Pat the Beer Guy ™ will be working the bar at Station 2, we can show him some love, and he can sling us some mighty fine beers! We'll be collecting funds (as in cash money) to donate to Feed More to help local families in need!

attn Richmond: tomorrow 12PM - 3PM, The Lot is giving away hot meals and cold weather kits to those need. so if you know anyone that could use a helping hand, direct them to 1224 Hull St

This makes me unreasonably sad.

The US Open Cup should be on EVERY fans radar. You can find your truly local team and cheer them on to glory.

I'm certainly not going to any World Cup games this year but I might break my boycott if there is a viewing event within travel distance that will feature Scottish and Irish fans. Very happy to see them make it. Curaçao is also exciting but I can't imagine a large contingent of fans.

From @leagueoneupdater.com 2026 Transaction Tracker, here's the 9 returning players for Richmond Kickers. Looks like a near-complete rebuild in progress. It's a young group with an average age of 23.7 & median age of 24. Four of the five can't buy alcoholic beverages in the United States.

Congrats to Red Army Board member Will Ayala Cortez who became a US Citizen today. He's been instrumental in making the Red Army better over the last 3 years.

List of players the @richmondkickers.bsky.social announced as departing. 14 total, most with significant minutes. O'Dwyer Bolduc Franca Vaughan Cela Terzaghi (again) Billhardt Lage Schenfeld Fitch (surprised but not surprised) Kanagwa Baer Pierre-Louis Jara

Damn, this hurts. I thought at least some of these guys would be renegotiated. Hit the Kickers link for the full list.

Great news. I need to get to a game.

My review of the USL League One final is up. Knoxville pulled it off, from the stadium experience to the victory on the pitch, despite a recurring turf issue. But as the Knoxville fans say as they lean into it "we play on a baseball field" and "I dare you to play it back"

Glad to read this. All were great contributors this season. If Darwin can stay healthy, he's a legit contender for the Golden Boot.

It's fucking insane that a USL owner shut down his team and is even being considered to revive the team in two years while his players are shit out-of-luck. And you're being dense if you think it couldn't happen to your team as well. Get behind your players and push for the ratification of the CBA!

Great job all around.

USL Confidential Part IV- One Current USL Player’s Take on Important League Issues: $$$, a possible lockout & promotion/relegation are all among the topics discussed. #usl #uslchampionship #soccer #sports medium.com/the-union-re...

A must read for all USL supporters. Sidenote it's hell of impressive that the Kickers while not in USLC have outlasted 12 USLC teams and I don't know how many USL1 teams.

Some soccer pics. Ejercito Rojo with a 2-1 win to advance to the final 8 in the Copa Bruce. Well done lads, well done.

It's hared to be surprised by anything FIFA does and this no exception.

Support the RVA Community Fridges.

Since this is a Richmond Kickers supporters account I'll give you my USL1 Playoff predictions. Knoxville is going to run over Naples. Somehow Hearts of Pine will win in Spokane. In the final after much hype about Hearts saving US Soccer they'll be crushed 5-0 by Knoxville. HOP fans will know pain.

Posted a bunch of cyclocross photos over on RVAHub Insta if you're bored.

One of the few signing I knew was set to happen and thrilled to see if formally announced. Dakota is a great player and person.

Oh, FFS. How any soccer lover with any moral backbone supports FIFA and as a result the World Cup is beyond me.

I worked my 3rd election yesterday. It's a long day but I urge anyone who can to volunteer to be an election officer. I'm guesstimating that the avg. age at my polling station was 65+. I'm 57 and one of the youngest. We need younger folks to step and join the process. Bonus: you get pins.

Off-season current hobby. 3d printing bird skulls. Not my models. Two ravens and a peregrine falcon. Currently on the printer a great blue heron skull.

That's impressive.

Congratulations to Darren Sawatzky on making Week 34 Coach of the Week!! #UpTheRoos

#USOC2026 2QR: Sharktopus FC won its replay over Bellevue Athletic FC, 5-0, on a rainy Seattle night to earn a spot in the Third Qualifying Round. Two goals & an assist from Love Is Blind star Kwame Appiah sets up a date with Ballard FC this weekend. Recap by Bruce Corrie: thecup.us/2025/10/29/2...

texoma YIKES

Texoma FC will be self-relegating to USL League Two, while leaving the door open for a future return or partnership with pro soccer projects in North Texas. All 2025 players become free agents. This is not something I enjoy reporting on.

Legend.

Not surprising but hate to see any USL1 shrinkage.

I'm so surprised by this news. What are the odds that a stadium would end up costing the city more? 98-100% is my guess.

🏳️‍⚧️ Today, and every day, we stand with supporters groups across the NWSL to say - loud and clear: Trans People Belong. In the stands, on the pitch, in our communities - everywhere. Everyone deserves to feel safe, respected, and celebrated. No exceptions. ❤️🖤 #TransPeopleBelong

Fill it out. Disappointed I wasn't nominated for Kickers MVP for the 15th year in a row. Next year is my year I know it.

Crushing news. I lived a couple doors down for years a lifetime ago.

Our Francine tifo greeted Madison's bus. Not pictured is awarding Darwin our Red Army MVP, Fitch and Dakota getting 100 cap trophies.

“'I think we should have principles as business owners and stand up for what’s right,' [owner William McCormick] said. The actual shirt, he explained, isn’t really new. 'It used to just say Fuck Nazis. We just clarified who the Nazis were.'"

Great recap of the season.

5-1 knocking the flamingos out of the playoffs is a pretty good feeling.

Might be Emi's last game. Made him a card.

Final game of the year. Through thick and thin the Red Army supports the players. We'll be out in force and in costume tonight. Vamos Kickers.

One more time at City. Thank you RVA, see you tomorrow 🦘 #UpTheRoos

Getting ready for the last one. See you Saturday! 📸: @jshfoto.bsky.social | #UpTheRoos

Stolen from Facebook. The impact of our little club can't be denied. 2005 was the first year of USL.

Really enjoying all the USL1 teams posting about postseason.
