Along with Alphonso Davies to Bayern + Jhon Duran to Villa, Obed Vargas' move to Atletico Madrid is one of the biggest in MLS history.

Vargas is a tremendous young player — strong defensively, savvy off-ball, and functional on it.

His story is nothing short of amazing.

I don’t think so which is why I said months ago it was a real question. Not the same job anymore.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

wow such disrespect to the FA Cup. smdh

*(minus the four championships and six trips to the finals)

She did not but offered to give me his number.

this is a trick question.

but again, that's the interesting angle. the relocation stuff is hooey.

He got the former team owner to contribute to the story and (apparently) provided details about the lease that I wasn't familiar with, with added commentary about the alleged debt. Boomskie is Boomskie but one would assume FORBES would earn more credibility than MikeHawk.Com or whatever.

The $2 billion question. Galaxy brain thought is that he’s trying to label Lacob as some sort of relocation bogeyman for whatever reason (which kinda worked). Say what we will but he’s been very intentional when he speaks publicly.

Or maybe he’s just bored and doing his ghost writer a solid.

Sez you…

Agreed and still trying to figure out why Moores is contributing to a story about Lacob potentially relocating the team.

And also Kras suggested Moorad so careful what you wish for here buddy

Bloom wrote something I found interesting but most would rather shit on Bloom than read what he wrote. 🤷

Would we expect San Diego’s number to change if / when Lozano and / or McNair depart?

Excellent update! Congrats.

Above all else, it’s the stories that make soccer so intoxicating | Jeff Rueter I have joined the Guardian today as a soccer correspondent in the United States. This is why I cover the sport

In my experience, basketball and soccer players have the best worldviews of them all. Pretty self-explanatory given the global markets for those two compared to the rest.

just to be clear, it was also a 100 percent certainty before the Tucker signing, as the owners have pushed for one in every CBA negotiation for over 30 years

This really sucks, grateful for what FBref has done for soccer
