Both of them Thomas Müller's — 8.32

Vancouver Whitecaps bid $220.0K for Jordan Farr
The offer went to DC United this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Tempers go at Vancouver Whitecaps
Rui Modesto was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.
