Something we’ve been predicting all offseason long has hit this morning… #FCDallas has signed HGP defender Nolan Norris to a new contract through the 2028-29 season.

Two things can be true: Grealish was acting petulant (although he had plenty of justification as to why) and the officiating in this one has been just piss poor overall.
