“Finally! I'm so happy! Now back with so much enthusiasm to my new adventure with my team the Montreal Impact! Thank you all for the support!” wrote Di Vaio on his official Twitter account Friday morning.

The MLS Disciplinary Committee announced Thursday that it had added two more games to Rivas’ suspension for headbutting Philadelphia’s Antoine Hoppenot. That’s in addition to the automatic one-game suspension he earned for the straight red.

Thus ends the Jekyll-and-Hyde run of the Jamaican in the Impact goal. While, ovee the last few weeks, coach Jesse Marsch had reaffirmed his confidence in Ricketts, the keeper’s ability to confound you with a) eyepopping saves and b) infuriating mistakes, sometimes within minutes of each other, hadn’t gone unnoticed.

Andrew Wenger, playing up top in place of Marco Di Vaio, presently in Italy facing questions in that country’s most recent game-fixing scandal, gave the Impact a one-goal lead moments before the interval.

“I think that we were able to control the game. We were organized, we made it hard on them, and we didn’t give much up. From the back all the way up I think a bunch of guys had good games and collectively they were organized, they kept things tight,” said head coach Jesse Marsch.

Di Vaio’s charge is found on Page 12, section 37 of the FIGC report and, for the fairest possible reporting, we will reprint it in the original Italian and then offer a translation.

Marsch also threw laurels at his young goalkeeper, saying, "We like Evan Bush a lot. We think he’s a good goalie and he has a great future. He’s moved himself along this whole season. I watched him play last season and I knew he was a very good goalie last year so the performance he gave tonight was not surprising."

According to FIFA, Canadian teams acquired a total of 58 players in the first half of 2012, while 48 moved on. But, altogether, the total amount of transfer dollars in ALL of the deals was… USD$100,000.

Adam Braz and Daniel Pozzi are charged with the smooth functioning of many of the off-pitch activities for the Montreal Impact, an area of jurisdiction that touches on virtually all other areas of team operations.

And, like we have seen so often this year, you take the good with the bad when it comes to Ricketts’ play. But, are the highlight-reel saves covering for the fact that he’s been making too many fundamental errors to continue as a No. 1 keeper in MLS?
