I love Ary's game as a deep lying playmaker. Didn't end up thriving in Lville's pressing system, but think could be a key cog for this more possession heavy team.
Welcome to LA, Ary!
📰 #AngelCityFC has signed Brazilian international midfielder Ary Borges to a three-year contract, bringing a dynamic and creative playmaker to Los Angeles.

Shocking and not at the same time. My theory is he will end up with another job in Europe (prob Belgium or something on that level) before he ends up back in MLS. Anyone who knows his body of work won't have a changed opinion of his coaching acumen after this.

This is as poorly done as possible. At a minimum if you’re not gonna just raise the cap. Then let the teams decide who their HIP players are. Theres literally entire front offices whose job is to judge the sporting value of players they sign!
The NWSL introduces the High Impact Player rule.

First goal of the AFCON! Gorgeous build up from Morocco for Brahim Diaz 1st touch finish. Morocco haven’t been roaring to start but they’ve been in control since min 1

The ref in the college cup just made the MOST dramatic pause before declaring the OT game winner as a good goal, I’m still cackling at how long he waited before revealing his call.
