spotify. i'm begging you. let us turn off comments. i don't want to see comments on podcasts. i just want to listen to podcasts. not everything has to be social media. in fact, less things should be social media.
What San Diego FC did last night was absolutely insane.
They went down a man with a red card in the 12th (!) min vs. a powerhouse Toluca team... and still scored three goals.
SDFC finished the game with nine men (88th min red).
Still won 3-2. Unreal.
Oscar Pareja was the second longest tenured head coach in MLS.
1. Brian Schmetzer, Seattle — 2016, midseason
2. Greg Vanney, LA Galaxy — 2021
3. Pablo Mastroeni, Real Salt Lake — 2021, midseason
Orlando City and head coach Oscar Pareja mutually agree to part ways.
Pareja joined Orlando ahead of 2020 season. Club missed playoffs in all 5 years before him… then made it in all 6 years with him. Won 2022 US Open Cup.
First manager change in MLS this year, just 3 games in.
HELL YEAH!!
