    Something I found while surfing on Reddit. I loved it.

    People should realize we're just as bad at retaining talent at any other position.

    A video posted by a Whitecap fan and created by a Red Bull fan? Hmmmmm.... I thought it was hysterical! I laughed, I cried, it was an emotional ride. Simply hysterical.

    Awesome.

    Amazing the time spent on this by someone about a team who's not a rival...

    I posted this on my facebook page. It might have been done by a Red Bull fan but they did their homework. I couldn't name more than one Red Bull keeper, so well done.

    I can't even name their current GK. I know he looks vaguely like George Zimmerman.

    Four out of five stars. It would have been five but they forgot our favorite front office goalkeeper, Nick Sak.

    Fantastic! I wish they would have emphasized that this is through 5.5 seasons. I'm sure quite a few teams have rostered 17 keepers. It's the time frame that makes the Union's choices ridiculous.

    I know they couldn't exclude him, but the video includes Mondragon, who despite the trend of the video was probably one of the best GKs in the league that year.

    Is it bad that while I watched this, my first thought on a lot of these was that they didn't even choose the worst goalkeeping gaffe these guys had for us?

    How many of those guys had their careers ruined by coming to the Union?

    They definitely got Seitz's right, though. Although the phantom "divot" goal would have been appropriate, as well.

    The video is brilliant trolling. That said, haven't the Red Bulls, and a lot of MLS teams for that matter gone through goalkeepers just as frequently as the Union have since 2010? TFC, Vancouver also come to mind as teams having a revolving door at goalkeeper as well. Why should the Union be alone in this ridicule?

    Actually I'll argue that most went on to be better GKs after they left.

    That should have been a yellow on the DC player. I always go with the ground ball against Toronto.

    There was the time he lost Davy Arnauds Free Kick in the sun, the "Divot" against New England, the last minute goal against San Jose..........

    IIRC there was no rule in place at the time to prevent what happened there. They made adjustments to the rule after Seitz's goof.

    Of Sylvestre, Blake, MacMath, M'Bolhi and McCarthy...is it really farfetched to think none of them are the starting GK next season?

    That's madness.
