Victoria 🇨🇦 / München 🇩🇪
Blackmon extremely unlikely. So Rodriguez could take that spot

Didn’t you write something recently about how they can make this all work? Might need to finally sit down and give it a proper read. Because I am slightly confused.

It is now 3-3!
Every Bundesliga game I watch has a strain of MLS After Dark energy that very few other leagues manages to capture
If you haven't scratched out your eyes after watching 90 minutes of Arsenal vs Liverpool yesterday, you should probably tune in and watch this as an antidote.

I am not sure that's actually true. Had some pretty good games this year
January 9, 2026 at 9:23 PM
As I said...
January 9, 2026 at 9:23 PM
It has been a great game

This man makes the best runs Ive ever seen.

Ebnoutalib makes a great run with a perfect pass to erase the goal from some guy.

2-2
Did I just watch Ebnoutalib dribble through 6 Dortmund players at the same time while they were all trying to foul him
January 9, 2026 at 9:02 PM
Dream debut by Ebnoutalib for Eintracht Frankfurt. This Friday Bundesliga fixture has been incredible fun.
January 9, 2026 at 9:01 PM
I had the pleasure to be on his show a few times. Amazing guy.

Wish this had an edit button. Obviously just once hopeful haha

Sources have indicated that they are hopeful that they are hopeful that Tristan Blackmon will stay in Vancouver.

Some of the numbers speculated though will make it certainly hard to keep the #USMNT defender a Whitecap.

I reckon that this will be a story that will remain with us for some time.
There is a report out there that Inter Miami CF are finalizing a deal to sign Tristan Blackmon from the Vancouver Whitecaps.

Sources have denied that the #VWFC star is on the verge of joining Messi's club. What is true is that interest is very high in Blackmon. One to keep an eye on.
