Sunday Morning Union Freekicks: Looking Back At 2010 One Last Time

I am back in LA after a two-week trip back east.  Not surprisingly, I've been up since 5:30am.  And guess who's going to be the first one in the office next week?  This guy.

A nice part about waking up this early, especially during EPL season, is that I can catch the early games.  Villa leads Chelsea 2-1 right now at 60'.

Now that 2010 is out of systems, it's time to start looking forward.  The SuperDraft in a little more than a week and the Union's second season.  Join the discussion below.
