Yusuf Demir has been released by Galatasaray. His reputation is far from what it once was when he was staring for Rapid Vienna… but I’d like to see a MLS club give him a shot

He’s only 22, can play across the attack, & has experience playing in Austria, Türkiye, Spain, & Switzerland

We should hang this post in the louvre

I want Joffre Escobar on a DP deal somewhere in MLS

Robin Jansson had surgery and is out until later spring. A big blow to Orlando City as they already have some CB depth issues with the state of the roster right now

You did a fantastic job filling in Matt! Just finished up listening!

How San Diego FC build their roster & get the most out of overlooked talent...

Eisner: Waiver pick up that SD didn't play
Vazquez: Trade from PHI that didn't break in
Sargent: Trade from HOU that didn't break in
Duah & Pilcher: SuperDraft picks

I mean it's a roster building & development hot spot!

But 4 goals in a 20 minute span is crazy! The average age of San Diego FC last night was 25.06 years old. The average age of their goal scorers? 20.25 years old! THE YOUNGSTERS!!!

I am pissed I fell asleep after the 1st goal scored by Pumas 😂

I will be watching this one back in full this morning but what a way to debut in Champions Cup! A huge 4-1 win over a Liga MX side. Now they have to go down to Mexico… and we’ve seen how that goes historically

Olimpia has this place ROCKING!!! There are more goals in this one

What a strike & goal for Jorge Alvarez!!! Olimpia has tied it up with Club America! 1-1 in the 50th minute

San Diego FC’s 1st XI for 2026 & 1st XI in Champions Cup history

What a result!!! Way to get a draw at home Forge FC!!!

The Canadian club setting off the tone of Champions Cup 2026 the way I like to see it!

It's only the 2nd ever result for a Canadian Premier League club in CONCACAF Champions Cup history. The other was a 2-1 for Cavalry FC vs Pumas last year

That draw for Forge FC vs Tigres was Forge’s 1st result in CONCACAF Champions League ever

6 losses in 6 games prior; Cruz Azul, Chivas, & Monterrey

NEVER MIND WE’RE BACK! Tigres’s goal is called offside

There it is… damn

An hour in & Forge FC has held Tigres to a 0-0 game so far 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Forge FC’s keeper is on a HEATER!

AN MLS TEAM PLAYS REAL SOCCER TONIGHT!!!

All eyes are on you @san-diego-fc.bsky.social

In case you didn’t know… @san-diego-fc.bsky.social kicks off action in CONCACAF Champions Cup tomorrow night!!!

We are so back.

Jason & I have been pushing hard and seeing a large uptick in our YouTube numbers. Something we haven’t ever really done…

We’d love to make a big push to get to 500 subscribers by the end of the year!

Seattle Sounders have officially transferred HomeGrown CM Obed Vargas to La Liga side Atletico Madrid

The 20 year old Mexican international has won a CONCACAF Champions League & Leagues Cup title with the club. 130 appearances, almost 9,900 minutes played, 8 goals, & 10 assists

I mean it's not great for San Jose. Yes, Timo Werner is here & it's another year under Bruce Arean... but yikes

No Cristian Espinoza, Chicho is gone, Josef is gone. This team seems to have some work to do in 2026 to build a roster around their new star German DP

Strong DP signing for Red Bulls. He comes in as a DP, but as Tom notes, can be bought down next season

Ruvalcaba joins Choupo-Moting & Forsberg as DPs for the Red Bulls. The defense needs some help, but Michael Bradley has a strong attack for his 1st year in charge

This seems like a strong move for all involved

Columbus get $2.5m+ for what was looking like their backup striker. Crew also get to build their pathway to Europe for players

Jacen Russell-Rowe gets a move to Ligue 1 where other Canadian internationals have gone & thrived
