    call me Mr Doubtful, but i smell a rat in the MLS schedule that gave Miami 3 games in 1 week, well-knowing that the stars wouldnt come across the continent for a saturday game, then travel back home for a mid-week game- it was planned for the stars to get rest time, not play on turf and- to be forthright- who cares about a game in vancouver, CANADA ?

    the schedule was designed for Miami to make the decision they made

    Cyrillic F and K for FC, football club.

    Can’t make sense of “Minvor” or “Pernik.”

    I wonder if "Minvor" is Mining based on the tools in the logo.
    That would fit the Socialist Realism theme of teams named for industries.
    Pernik might be a place but its not one I'm familiary with.

    A little Google and Wikipedia shows Pernik to be just southwest of Sofia and that it was a mining settlement that specialized in coal. Here's the still standing Central Mining Office that is now the Mining Museum:

    So why do all the other teams have 3-game weeks, sometimes multiple, over the last 2-3 weeks then? There's stretching, and then there's the Mr. Fantastic you're doing to make this claim...
