Ugh. Too soon. I actually hung out with friends at a bar to watch the match. It was sweet when Shaq tied it up in the 88th minute. But this was just another excruciating nut punch in a season-long tantric nut punch.@67YAZ regularly supplies us with updates on the misfortunes of the Chicago Fire, but perhaps this tale of woe was too much even for him.

Amazing, has to be the first MLS player to have been bought out on two separate occasions.Tom Bogert reporting that Jozy is getting bought out.
I came here to post this. What an absolute banger!El Brujo finally gets his first goal in 82 MLS games and it’s a doozy
The article itself has been updated to remove any mention of an investigation, and I'm unable to find any details on what it is they're investigating. I'd assume it's this, for which charges were dropped in 2021 for lack of information to pursue the charges (other sources have said he was "cleared" of the charges). After his arrest, though, he never again played for Everton and his contract expired without any offers in the past 12 months.This seems like, ummm, not the publicity the league wants as it kicks off the Messi era.
The differences in what can be reported and printed in the US and UK make it likely that more details of whatever that was would come to light, so DC United would need to get real clarity on the situation.The article itself has been updated to remove any mention of an investigation, and I'm unable to find any details on what it is they're investigating.

Some diligence calls to the Manchester police are probably due, but at some point unless there's substantial evidence of crimes that for whatever-reason UK police couldn't pursue on a technicality or something, I don't see why it should prevent him from continuing to have a career.
Will the Minnesota tickets spike like Inter Miami?This should be fun.
There’s more Scandinavians in Minnesota than Argentines in Florida.Will the Minnesota tickets spike like Inter Miami?
Nope, no price spike. Will miss him in FPLThere’s more Scandinavians in Minnesota than Argentines in Florida.
That’s big fun, especially with the Finnish population there. I like that club.This should be fun.
There was some tweeting from a decently reliable Chicago supporter that the Fire had back channel discussions with Curtin. Apparently, Mansueto felt Curtin could be signed, but there was no sense Curtin was set on leaving Philly.Anyway, I was really hoping Jim Curtin would hit the market and Seattle would throw a shitload of money at him. Alas.
Would you want to go from Ernst Tanner picking your groceries to Georg Heitz?There was some tweeting from a decently reliable Chicago supporter that the Fire had back channel discussions with Curtin.

Pure speculation, but Curtin was probably listening to hear what was out there and leveraging that interest in negotiations with Philly. Fair play to him. I have no idea where the Fire go now.
Heitz is out of contract this winter, so the pitch to Curtin was - you’re in charge, you build the front office & the squad.Would you want to go from Ernst Tanner picking your groceries to Georg Heitz?
And they saw a highly entertaining game. MLS should make it a tradition and have El Trafico every 4th of July there.82,000+ at the Rose Bowl yesterday for LA vs. LA for a new MLS attendance record
