Brooklyn native living in DC

[Roddy Russell Jr.]

Hey, folks! Roddy Russell Jr. here. Can't believe I waited until now to join the forums! Such a slacker!

You may know me from Reddit as rrusselljr93 and only recently from NYCFC Nation. I write the "Facts After the Match" series.

Born and raised in Bed-Stuy and Fort Greene, but I live in DC now (and no, I did not switch club loyalty to DC United, hell no!), but I'm hoping one day (in the next few years) I can find work in New York City and move back.

If you want to know a little more about me, check out my solo blog here. On the blog, I try to come up with who will play in the upcoming match (still trying to figure out what else I want to do with it - got any ideas?).

Anyway, nice being here (finally)!

Welcome to the forums. I actually randomly jumped into your blog in the past week (I have no idea where I came across it) so it's cool to now see you doing the opposite and finding us.

As for your blog, you currently just for pre-match segments so I feel like you need to come up with a post-match segment to compliment it. You could do something standard like just doing a match review, but it might be more interesting to do something more creative like a "what the stats don't tell you" segment where you compare how the game went to the stats available on mlssoccer.com or anywhere else. I know they do game stats - I'm sure they used to do a player-by-player breakdown of stuff like passes made and completed too.

Anyway, something to consider? Welcome to the forums all the same.

Welcome!

Glad to have someone else here representing the DMV

This is good. I can give this a go. Thanks for the suggestion!
