Louden (No. 16) had himself a really nice match for Villanova Soccer Academy‘s 2009 Milan this past weekend (maybe his best playing up vs. older kids this season), so I spliced together some highlights with royalty-free music. Enjoy!
This goal put his squad ahead 3-2 with a couple minutes left in a muddy-field friendly this weekend. Alas, a conceded goal with fewer than 30 seconds remaining relegated it to non-game-winning-goal status. (Now he knows how I felt against…
It was pretty awesome to watch the Union play a live match, in person, last night. It’d been a while. Which is why all the local news stations were there to do their “first live pro-sports event in the Philly…
Last weekend, Louden played his last tourney with his FC Delco gold squad. To commemorate that bittersweet moment, I edited together a pair of goals from the weekend, and my man Matt Mullin worked up a gif of one. …

Suffice it to say, our 12-day trip to Barcelona (with a quick stop in Dublin on the way home) was amazing. Louden was invited to train with FC Barca youth coaches for five days, and play four friendly matches against…
When Louden was three going on four, I wrote an essay in advance of the 2014 World Cup for WHYY about soccer’s important place in the world. It was headlined “This is not an essay about indoctrinating your child into…
(I’m not bringing Louden to the concert, but I sure as heck am heading down to the parkway to watch them burn Philly to the ground again.)
