Next up, the deets from the Roots second game in the NISA Fall Tournament, which is also their swan song given their move to the USL Championship in 2021.

Finally, our friend Joel Soria gives his take on sfgate on the current state of affairs with the Quakes. In order to compete, the team needs to spend to meet expectations of the newer teams such as Atlanta United.
