@totalsoccershow.bsky.social Hi guys. Maybe I missed a nuance in the discussion of the top MLS players going directly to European top-flight clubs. If I remember correctly, Tim Howard went from MetroStars to Man Utd and played as the starter for their summer tour that year.

Today is the feast day of St. Brigid of Kildare, a patroness of Ireland and considered the patron saint of abortion. She was born in c.451. It is said a nun had become pregnant and “Brigid, exercising the most potent strength of her ineffable faith, blessed her, causing the child to disappear.”
