A bizarre development today as North Macedonian club FK Vardar drag Sporting Kansas City into dispute over a pre-contract for its player signed elsewhere. #SportingKC

Let's break it down:

North Macedonian team posts email exchange with Sporting KC over failed transfer
The team shared an email apparently containing a “private and confidential” offer from Sporting Kansas City.

Multiple sources tell ESPN that the MLSPA hasn't yet approved MLS's proposed switch to a summer/spring calendar. Talks between the MLSPA and #MLS are "ongoing" I'm told.

Cavan Sullivan has an ankle knock. Should be back on the field in a few days, but it nagged him during the offseason and he’s finally now shaking it off.

Union II head coach Ryan Richter getting ready to lead a field session tonight.

A chance to see how he gets his message across to the club’s young prospects.

Spent 50+ minutes chatting with Kai Wagner about his time in Philadelphia through all the highs and lows, as well as his hot start in Birmingham.

We covered a lot, truly. Yes, even the infamous yet emotional Hibachi night at the Wagner residence.

Will go live at 7 P.M.

As has been pointed out, Danley Jean Jacques wouldn't actually be the first person this summer to do this.

Mexico and Canada play twice before Brazil-Haiti, and U.S.-Australia in Seattle is a few hours earlier.

I hadn't thought of that when I wrote the post, and I'll update the piece.

I've said many times that I've been a devoted @socceramerica.bsky.social reader since I was in high school, back when SA was in newsprint with the staple down the middle.

It was a treat to contribute a few words about the World Cup coming to Philadelphia:

MLS preseason is officially upon us! It's time to take a look at rosters throughout the league and what comes next.

We start in the East, digging through the premium roster slots – the DPs & U22s – for each team. Including a Crew team that's in kinda good shape?

That’s Cavan Sullivan in the hoodie. He and Bruno Damiani are the first outfield players out today.

Not the worst thing to see.
