Led by Houston Dynamo President Chris Canetti, the US Soccer world is playing their part in trying to repair the torn apart city of Newtown, CT. On January 7, "Soccer Night in Newtown" will be taking place as stars from around MLS and the US Soccer community host a night small-sided games and soccer-themed events in an event solely open to Newtown residents and members of the Newtown Youth Soccer Club.
The list of names joining the event is a relative who's who of the US Soccer community and two FC Dallas players, Zach Loyd and Bobby Warshaw, will be participating in the event. It's no surprise to see Loyd and Warshaw, two of the most gracious people you will meet, joining the event and I'd imagine even more will jump in before all is said and done.
Brave to Zach and Bobby and bravo to the US Soccer community.
