Earlier this week Foster Langsdorf retired from professional soccer. This news wasn’t picked up by major news outlets, and Loons fans can be forgiven for not knowing this news. Foster played 42 of his 67 career MLS minutes with Minnesota United, the remaining 25 came with the Portland Timbers. Langsdorf is a Portland kid, who played his final few years in academy with the Timbers. So why should we worry about someone who rarely played for the Loons retiring you may ask? The trend of some players retiring before they reach the prime of their career isn’t good for the league.
