- We all expect Matt VanOekel to be named NASL Goalkeeper OTY, meaning two former Minnesota United keepers would win huge awards. But you know what, I would still take Sammy Ndjock as my goalkeeper.

Why don't they pull the plug quietly in Miami and award that spot
to Sacramento Republic FC or even give it to Tampa Bay Rowdies if they want to keep
the balance of East West conferences?
Really tired of all the Miami stuff.
The powers that be in Miami (politicos) appear not to want anything to do with soccer.
Let De Silva and his gang have it with Miami FC in the NASL (for as long as it lasts).
What are your thoughts?
Interested Sounders Fan.
A guy down the hall from me is from Hamburg, so we usually chat about them each week. He updated me that Wood is now suspended 3 games for the red card.
