Strangely enough, they did a video of his pregame routine. MNUnited with the sense of humour.

An influential Minn. soccer person suggested that rather than just let the player be the butt of jokes globally, MNU needed to make lemonade out of lemons right now, and the team listened. Good video.
That's well done. Fair play to them.
I watched the extended highlights of the Bournemouth - MN United game. That keeper actually made a bunch of really good saves, especially after his massive gaff. Of course nobody will know that. Also MN United had some great scoring chances that they flubbed (incl. some Row Z shots). And their defenders sometimes just didn't seem to care. Spent more time waving their arms on obviously non-offside goals than actually defending. (The officials made some good calls on difficult offside questions.)
BTW I often took my kids to TFC games when they were younger, and did pretty well with getting into one of the "family" (non-gender-specific) bathrooms w/o too much wait. They seemed to be spread around the stadium pretty well. However I don't really know if somebody looking for a non-gender-specific bathroom would feel comfortable waiting in line there, and then perhaps getting into the washroom in front of a couple of families with kids doing the pee pee dance.

Schmid is gone at Seattle - same day a new DP comes to town.
No, we do not want him.

Well, it will be very interesting to see who ends up becoming their 2nd ever coach in MLS era (not counting the interim guy now). Lure someone away from a current post, a la the first appointment? I imagine they would love to bring in a marquee overseas coach but given recent performance records of non-N. America coaches, can't see them actually doing it.
I think Sigi retires now.
Lagerway basically calling Sigi past it and not his man

On a different note about TFC business sponsorship, Coke is on a bit bigger sponsor plan now it seems.

Shirt sponsor next season?
Read this for some of reasons why Sigi got fired

“Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”

Apparently Dom Dwyer has been sold to Olympiacos for 4.5 million Euros.
Vermes was asked today and apparently "there is no truth to that report".

Just one example showing you can't fully trust MLSPU salary numbers. Castillo's base salary is listed at 156k, but he's actually earning 700k.
