Former Wizards Update

First, Shavar Thomas was selected by Philadelphia in today's expansion draft and will be heading east to play for the Union. The other former Wizard to move today, was Abe Thompson, who was waived by Houston, but in turn was picked up by Real Salt Lake in the waiver draft.

Antti Sumiala played for FC PoPa, a club which he actually owns and more or less runs nowadays. Season 2009 was club's first at the First Division (2nd highest level in Finland) and they finished 4th. Antti scored four goals. I think he's probably considering to play one more season, but we'll see.

Thanks for the update, I knew he'd been playing for PoPa, but hadn't realized he was the owner and basically ran the club, that's cool.
