The LA Galaxy have now gone 11 competitive matches without a clean sheet.

Sporting San Miguelito takes the 1-0 lead in the 37th minute of their #CCC match in Panama.

Shambolic defending - free header for Tello at the back post.

David Lee makes a move for one of his former NYCFC II goal scorers, Taylor Calheira as Sporting KC continues to build roster.

NYCFC opens at LA Galaxy on Sunday.

The Galaxy, after winning MLS Cup in '24 failed to make playoffs & hold a dubious record of 16 games w/out a win to open '25.

I sat w/ Galaxy coach Greg Vanney at preseason in Indio, CA last week. Listen👇

I'll give him credit for giving an honest answer.

The moment Emil Forsberg was asked at #RBNY media day what players he'd like to bring into the club.

They are currently under contract at Liverpool, Arsenal & Aston Villa. Listen👇

Hard to avoid a cynical twist on the name.

In the #CCC last night in Trinidad, Defence Force lost to the Philadelphia Union, 5-0.

Defence Farce was the first thing that came to mind.

The MLS Supporters Shield holders looked sharp in their season opener.

Interesting from #LAFC's Marc dos Santos on coaching elite level players.

Dos Santos won his debut as head coach in #CCC last night.

While at LAFC he has coached the likes of Chiellini, Giroud, Lloris & Son.

"You better be ready w/ the right information." Listen👇

One of the most enjoyable convos among the many I've had w/ New York City FC coach, Pascal Jansen.

Meeting w/ Pep: "A long term dream."

Studying F1 & reading Louis Hamilton book: "How he prepares himself."

Easily the biggest match of year in the EFL Championship and US Men's National Team forward Haji Wright responds in a big way for 1st place Coventry.

Hat trick in 3-1 win against 2nd place Middlesbrough.

10 unbeaten for Frank Lampard's side, now a point clear at top of table.

Kai Trewin made his 2nd appearance & 1st start for #NYCFC on Sat.

Billed as a player w/ similar traits to the departed Justin Haak, he showed a bit of that in his 45 min of action.

From our commentary in Indio, CA where the Pigeons met San Jose.

Should have listened to Wagner, huh?

Wagner and Birmingham lose to Aaronson's Leeds in penalty kicks.

Great match to watch.

Was hoping that Timo Werner would play for San Jose tomorrow against New York City FC in the Coachella Valley finale.

That won't happen.

Werner still awaiting the proper paperwork & the Earthquakes are hoping he'll arrive sometime next week.

The most complete evaluation you will get on Talles Magno, back w/ #NYCFC after his long-term loan at Corinthians.

It comes from my exclusive 1-on-1 w/ NYC coach Pascal Jansen.

This is a 3-minute+ clip but worth the listen.

Talles wants to be the striker. 👇
