The former MLS talent we’ve already seen on Liga MX sides tonight: -Milton Valenzuela -Rodrigo Schlegel -Jairo Torres -Jesus Murillo

Mboma Dem has really developed into a nice depth attacking piece for FC Cincinnati this season. He’s a ton of fun & sends them up 3-1 over Pachuca

Taha Habroune, Julian Hall, Adri Mehmeti, Niko Tsakiris… any other youngster I’m missing for the next U.S. roster?

Taha Habroune needs to be on Poch's roster for the September/October qualifiers.

2 goals in 2 games for the Columbus Crew’s new DP 10! Brais Mendez could be a mighty fine Diego Rossi replacement Fantastic night from Taha Hahbroune though with his defensive work on this 3rd goal 👀

The former MLS talent we’ve already seen on Liga MX sides tonight: -Milton Valenzuela -Rodrigo Schlegel -Jairo Torres -Jesus Murillo

Good corner from Taha Habroune! Sean Zawadzki caps off a dominant 1st half from Columbus over Atlas with a goal! 2-0 Columbus Crew

I don’t think anyone had RWB Pavel Bucha on their bingo cards for 2026… but it’s kinda worked out okay for Cincy. Another goal for him tonight!

The only way Cincinnati win this game is if Evander goes nuclear… well… HE JUST DID! 1-1 game

Rondon & Idrissi are about to score 8 vs FC Cincinnati

Did my own @futi.live challenge... all American talent & winning the league! Getting past 75 points with an all U.S. squad is TOUGH!!! I'd love to see others try this challenge out. If I was a GM, Id be trading away all the international roster spots 😂

So Leagues Cup starts today… yay I joke but I’m pretty excited to watch some matchups today

85 points on Sicko mode? I’m done for the night 😂

MLS went with the "internal hire" & minority LAFC owner Larry Berg will be the next MLS Commissioner! For all the jokes & criticism... Don Garber was a good Commissioner of this league. Larry has a tall task in front of him as he now must lead these clubs/owners into a new era

Paul Tenorio@paultenorio.bsky.social · 2d ago

Larry Berg will be the next commissioner of MLS. The LAFC co-owner was voted in today by the MLS board of governors, per sources. More here: www.nytimes.com/athletic/748...

I FINALLY DID IT @futi.live FINALLY!!!

Hey @futi.live I love you game… but my Northeast rage and anger just came through

1st time playing this... holy fuck my productive work day is gone

Spin a wheel and pick one player per club and season for your lineup, then simulate your team against the Premier League or MLS. The game uses a decade of real player data from futi's models, including player ratings, skills and styles that affect team fit. Build a balanced team to be Centurions!

$18m for a 24 year old winger with 99 career games, 16 career goals, & 9 career assists is a… choice Hoping SKC really did their work here on the scouting

Tom Bogert@tombogert.bsky.social · 2d ago

🇧🇷 Sources: Sporting KC reach verbal agreement in talks to sign winger Andre Luiz from Olympiacos. Sport24 1st. Fee $18m + add-ons, per sources. Deal not done, still details to sort but SKC proceeding. Reporting w/ @paultenorio.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/748...

Mauricio Pochettino is back as Manager of the USMNT. 31 games managed for the U.S. with a record of 17W, 2D, 12L Poch now gets a full cycle with the group. But with a mixed record vs top opponents, no trophies, & the risk of losing a manager mid-cycle (again) I am not sold

I say it every time... and maybe less specific to this move compared to others... @tombogert.bsky.social is there any real way that MLS could influence clubs to NOT sell into Liga MX? I assume opening the salary cap and letting players earn more, similar to Liga MX salaries, could help?

🟡 Sources: Club America finalizing a deal to sign midfielder Edwin Cerrillo from the LA Galaxy. Cerrillo, 25, made 117 apps with the Galaxy. Was held out of the team's game this weekend as the deal got closer.

I DON'T CARE WHERE HE GOES! JUST PLAY FUCKING MINUTES!

Fabrizio Romano (MIRROR)@fabrizioromano.yopro20.com · 3d ago

🚨🔵⚪️ Gio Reyna to RC Strasbourg, here we go! Deal in place for the American to join BlueCo project from Borussia Mönchengladbach. Fee worth €3m, medical booked on Monday as @CyrilOlives reports on L’Equipe. 🩺 Gio has agreed to the move. 🇺🇸

Colorado Rapids making $17m (minus whatever sell on % they owe Brisbane AND initial transfer fee) with potential for another $6m for a teenager that only played 1,700 minutes for the club, that is some GREAT business there Now you hope eventually good business leads to a trophy

🇦🇺💣 BREAKING: Hull City has reached a verbal agreement to sign Australia int'l defender Lucas Herrington for a deal worth up to $23m, per sources. - $17m (!) fixed fee - $6m add-ons - 15% sell-on clause of any profit - Deal not done, but just formalities www.nytimes.com/athletic/748...

Emmaneul Latte Lath goes down as easily the largest flop in MLS history. The largest incoming transfer fee spend in league history & only coming away with 11G/4A in 3,320 total minutes played (only 9 of those goal in MLS, the rest were in Open Cup & Leagues Cup)

Tom Bogert@tombogert.bsky.social · 3d ago

🇨🇮 BREAKING: Union Berlin has signed forward Emmanuel Latte Lath on a one-year loan from Atlanta United, per sources. Deal opens a DP spot for Atlanta as club chase big targets. Latte Lath, 27, gets fresh start in Germany. 11 goals in 48 apps for Atlanta after joining in $22m deal.

Some high level thoughts about this weekends games: Union maybe just maybe needed to play the kids?!?! Shocking I know Neil Pierre has been UNBELIEVABLE at centerback on both ends of the field Kai Wagner is a much needed factor in this XI Milan Iloski scoring again too helps!
