Things we learned from MLS 2017, Week 2: MLS done Van Damme wrong

Philadelphia and Toronto played each other to a 2-2 draw that was defined by two penalties: Alejandro Bedoya missed his chance to put the Union two goals up in the first half; Jozy Altidore bagged his opportunity to send TFC into half-time on level terms.

But events on the field were overshadowed by Bedoya's post-match comments:

It looked a soft call, so Bedoya suggesting Altidore "tends to go down easily in the box" wasn't an outrageous thing to say, though it was curious that the often outspoken midfielder started by saying he hadn't seen the foul that provoked the penalty call in the first place, nor had he seen a replay.
