Not that folks want to talk about their day jobs today
But if you have a culture that rewards heroes instead of teamwork, you now have a quote about one of the worlds greatest players who can be the hero but is absolutely not being the hero and why that works better.

Vancouver Whitecaps coach Jesper Sorensen on Thomas Müller: "The good thing about Thomas is that he can affect things in so many ways, and he doesn't have to play like a brilliant player to affect his teammates and his team positively.... it's not that we rely on magic, but we rely on coherence"

Vancouver Whitecaps coach Jesper Sorensen on the epic, marathon LAFC win: "It's like you crash, but survive, and then you end up on the other side. You have this relief and also this boost of energy from it. So I think it's tiring in the moment and maybe after, but also it gives a lot of energy"

A few days after Cristiano Ronaldo was at the White House, FIFA says it has suspended the remaining two games of Cristiano Ronaldo's three-game ban for violent conduct, meaning he can play in Portugal's first two World Cup games.
Coincidence or not, it's certainly timing.

Worth noting about tonight's W:
SD acquired Pilcher via the draft; 24th pick overall. Still plenty of talent there, esp in the first round
SD acquired Corey Baird, provider of the game-winning assist, in an August trade for the MLS equivalent of a bag of balls
Successful teams draw from all wells
