    I’ve always been of the mind that when a player pulls up their jersey and covers their mouth, treat them as guilty.

    Yes he clearly looks guilty as hell and F**K that guy. I do like that Mbappe told Vin Jr. the entire 11 would walk off the pitch if he wanted them to. I like that the squad backed him and I would have preferred it in many ways because it really would have forced the league to deal with it. Instead they can continue to sweep it under the rug. I WILL be watching that second leg if I can to see what happens. It's odd that I will be rooting for Real Madrid. That's never happened before.

    I was watching and hoping Mourinho would pull him from the game and not replace him.

    Listened to the 4 minutes from Dje D’Avilla. Thought he did a good job expressing himself in English, better than expected. Glad to hear he is enjoying his time here. Also liked that he was wanting to help other new players.
    Although little things, these are all positive indicators for 2026 for him.

    I am SUPER interested to see what a Dje D'Avila and Saletrós double pivot can do.

    Chicago Fire is one of the league's "biggest clubs"?
    Has anyone told MLS?

    Agreed.

    I cannot wait for
    the "The Cologuard Supporter's Entrance" or would that be an exit?
    and the
    "Zorro Ranch Luxury Suites"

    Really, if they can sell the naming rights and manage NOT to embarrass the team, more power to them.
