  • DCFC in Flint

    No need to send me any tickets as I will be already going. However we need to pack the house in Grand Blanc next Wednesday. The match is being broadcast on the CBS Golazo Network and we need to show the rest of the country and soccer world how important this US Open Cup is

Houdini Whodunnit? – October 27, 2026
Q: What happened to the guy? I mean, they know who allegedly punched him. What happened to that guy? Did he get charged or anything?
