9. Nothing that would make the news...

But they were a bit classless after losing to Olympiakos. City had 35k-ish usually pretty stoic Minnesotans cheering them on for 90 minutes plus penalties on an extremely hot summer day in Minneapolis, and when they lost they just turned tail and disappeared into their dressing room. Olympiakos, on the other hand, did a lap afterward and likely left Minnesota with a good many more supporters than they had going in.

As a neutral that was leaning a little toward City, it felt a bit like a spit in the eye considering how much we paid to go see the game.

On a different note, as much as I love FC Bayern I am now hoping that they don't finish better than fourth in the Bundesliga this year. After their last couple of seasons, I'd think fourth would get Guardiola sacked. The way he treated Caleb Porter after the MLS All-Star friendly was embarrassing and totally unacceptable for a club like Bayern. This, especially after we've just opened an office in NYC and are hoping to build a name in the States...
