@ReynosoJeremy84 @Rothmus She didn’t specifically say this and what she implied with what she did say is far different than what you mention above.

@Rothmus it pains me to say this but She is not wrong to say the Greeks are influenced by Egypt. Pythagoras studied in Egypt for 15 years. It’s not a stretch to suggest that all famous mathematicians in the ancient world studied at the greatest structural building in human history.

@GainesTweets That was always the most hallow and tone deaf response a POBO could give- and we got it every year.

@TheCriticalDri2 He was the first person I thought of. Why not? they seem to think he is the best for every other role. Surprised he wasn’t cast as Helen of Troy.

@RoccSTL Great call on both - you got me on Hartel - I did think Cordova had an excellent defensive night - and some dangerous crosses.

@MattBakerSTL I think that’s right. For surprising solid performances - I am going Cordova and Polvara (specifically the CB portion of the game).

Bürki had a great save to keep us in the lead and good game, don’t get me wrong but at the whistle the fan vote was Totland. Feel this was his game for MotM. Great performance by Tots. #AllForCITY

SIGN A DP for Burki’s Turkey
I can’t take it anymore. Becher and Cordova have to stop playing so much. I’m going to go crazy.

The MLSPA has released an updated Salary Guide as of April 14, 2026 and there are A LOT of fascinating notes for @stlCITYsc fans: - CITY's player spend is $18.8m - good for 18th among MLS teams. It dropped 5 spots comparatively from 2025, despite a rising salary spend of ~$700k - Roman Bürki's new salary is $2.75m guaranteed, an increase of over $1m over last season.. The biggest thing we were looking forward to was how much his new contract increased from last year and this was extreme. - Bürki is not only the highest paid CITY player, but he's the highest paid GK in all of MLS. Matt Turner, the next highest paid makes $1.94m guaranteed. Bürki is on a 2 year contract w/an option and now we now he's a DP who can't be bought down even after this year. - Sergio Córdova, a DP for bookkeeping reasons & on loan from Young Boys through June, has a $1.21m salary. The presumption is that if his option is picked up, he won't count as a DP and this salary would put him firmly in the TAM player level. - Chris Durkin, at $668,500, received a $148k compensation bump w/his new contract over last season while Simon Becher at $444,375, received a $205k increase. - Other new signings: Polvara ($436k), Wallem ($657k), MacNaughton ($219k), Mbacke ($496k) and Santos ($226k). - And finally - an alignment note: right now, 6 of our top 8 paid players are not locked and loaded every match starters (much less producing as such right now) #AllForCITY

@ChatCityTactics Solid take. I like Burki for nostalgic reasons - but hard to argue the decision making here. When Burki spoke about it after signing - he was pretty clear in saying - It wasn’t my goal to intentionally make the team less competitive - they gave me an offer and I accepted.

To further highlight this decision-making problem: 5/10, or 50%, of #AllForCITY's highest earners do not even qualify for cards as they have not met the 450-minute (5 games) minimum.
Michael@ChatCityTactics

#AllForCITY hierarchy saw 2025 Roman Bürki make $1,707,469, the highest-paid goalkeeper in the league, and said, "We can do better." Better, meaning a multi-year, million-dollar-plus raise to $2.75 million. To a goalkeeper who had just turned 35 and had already seen significant regression in 2025, which has continued into 2026. Five goalkeepers across MLS are making $1 million plus in 2026. The league's second-highest-paid goalkeeper is making over $800k less than Bürki's new deal. It's a stark reminder that CITY doesn't have a spending problem - it has a decision-making problem. And nothing may highlight that problem more than outbidding yourself to resign your aging captain to a deal no one else would consider.

@STLSoccerNews I am not technically wise enough in soccer fouls to parse through it myself- I was mainly going on most people felt it was a foul on Becher but soft- it felt like similar conact and calls we had seen all game- to me anyway.

@cardsball45 I don't think your approach is wrong at all, because if you step through it that way, I agree, it has to be DOGSO - but given that Becher essentially initiated the contact I didn't think it was a foul to begin with.

As a data guy by day - this is a almost random scatter plot -statistically insignificant - super slightly positive correlation. It is cool data - nice work on the site - it was my first visit. You would have to add more to this to build the case that rotation alone is the culprit.

@4thOfJuly365 7 or 8. 4 and 5 would have higher population of military aged people, but 7 and 8 have a lot of people and WAY more guns. The guns make the difference.
