My Day At Allianz Field, Or: How Sean Johnson Made All Our Wildest Dreams Come True

Yesterday, I was one of the fortunate 19,796 to witness Minnesota United open Allianz Field in Saint Paul. Ultimately I was very blessed because I got to take part in a spectacular atmosphere, but more so because I got to watch NYCFC goalkeeper Sean Johnson finesse one into his own net.

Following last season’s run to the Champions League semifinals, it’s been a quintessential Roma response to potential success this campaign: The club has gone on tilt, including a 1-7 defeat to Fiorentina in the Coppa Italia, a heartbreaking exit to Porto in the UCL Round of 16 and a disappointing current standing of fifth in Serie A, all of which led to the firing of manager Eusebio Di Francesco and the exit of sporting director Monchi.

Let’s Celebrate Major League Soccer’s Best Doggos On National Puppy Day

National Puppy Day is apparently a thing and who are we to argue. 

Because Major League Soccer and its clubs have to be like every other entity on social media (ourselves included), they of course filled our Twitter feeds with pics of pups on Saturday.

Because The18 loves dogs more than our awful Fantasy Premier League teams, we decided to compile the best #NationalPuppyDay posts from MLS.

I Know How I Want To Be Commemorated When I Die (Or Win The Lottery)

How do you best secure your legacy for as close to all eternity as humanly possible? Is it by practicing an inscrutably benevolent existence, and by leaving breadcrumbs of goodwill along this path we call life? Or is it by building a Great Pyramid in the style of Khufu?
