Jurgen Klopp loves life after coaching, doesn't plan on coming back: 'I miss nothing, I enjoy what I'm doing'
Klopp, now the head of global soccer at Red Bull, has a job that satisfies his coaching itch -- without the pressures of bearing '1,000% responsibility' for results

sat down with Jurgen Klopp for 45 minutes as he told me about why he doesn’t miss coaching at all, work-life balance, why a Saturday in Central Park is better than a loss at Selhurst Park and more
a lot of great nuggets in this one, I highly recommend reading it

crunched some numbers, scoured the web and I think I came up with a comprehensive list of players who’d fall under the #NWSL’s high-impact player rule!
a lot of names you’d expect but there are some notable exclusions — like Catarina Macario and Lily Yohannes

the #NWSL’s criteria for the high-impact player rule isn’t arbitrary per se but it feels a bit silly to read a list like this, especially it almost goes without saying that teams would be targeting this type of player anyway

Peyton has overcome so much to be a regular presence at multiple NWSL venues on the east coast. Without a service dog, she won't be able to continue that work.
The cost of finding and training a service dog is very high, so if you can help at all, you'd be helping one of the good ones in woso.

I’m not sure I’ll ever find the right words for this.
In October, my service dog died suddenly. If you’ve seen me, in a stadium, on a sideline, in a press box, you’ve seen her.
While I mourn her, I must look forward to find her successor. Please share & consider donating if able

PIF would be prepared to place Mohamed Salah in the very highest echelon of earners in the Pro League (and by extension football). He'd get paid but Liverpool would have to accept a bargain basement deal if they conclude the end has to come.
