We podcasted last night so I’m out of pithy words to say about soccer today. I’m sure I’ll be better tomorrow. Enjoy these links, though!

• Former Louisville City president Amanda Duffy was just (finally) named commissioner of the National Women’s Soccer League. Congrats to Amanda!
• St. Louis announced its preseason schedule, which almost reads as a goodbye tour of their old Western Conference friends.
• There are a lot of teams in League Two, and there’s about to be another: Virginia Beach United. No word on whether the Rovers will be fielding a team this season, but the answer is trending toward no, unfortunately.
