Wow, 10 seconds away from the Olympics on a routine keeper grab does not an MLS failure of a coach make.

Is he still under contract in MLS or is he free to transfer to another league? It’d be interesting to see if he goes to another MLS team and pulls a Kenny Cooper.

That has always been my beef with bringing over Euro guys. You play in a league where you can take off games, literally and figuratively, then you come to MLS. I, and others, used to think that Ljungberg would get red cards on purpose to avoid the next game.

Doesn’t work that way here. No games are gimmees. SPL on the top two, is the exact opposite of that.
You can bad mouth the MLS quality, like a troll, all you want….in the end results are what matters, he and others didn’t produce, bye-bye.

sluggo271, I agree he is better of, probably go back to a downhill playing field and score again.

Well, Porter couldn’t qualify us for the Olympics using mostly MLS talent. Boyd is probably better off. Going to be interesting in Portland this year. The Toronto FC of Cascadia!
