“Discovery” rights on a player who’s already been in the league will never not be funny.
Anyway, great scouting, Revs!

🇵🇱 Sources: Mateusz Bogusz is likely to leave Cruz Azul this winter, with several MLS clubs interested.
New England Revolution hold Bogusz's discovery rights (priority to negotiate).
Bogusz, 24, joined Cruz Azul from LAFC last winter in ~$9m deal. Had 15g/7a in 2024 for LAFC.

Just absolutely embarrassing that this made it to market. So many people need to approve an ad before it gets national airtime. Just wild that they could screw up a detail like this and have nobody either know or care.
This ad about how great Google Gemini is ends by telling us how Ted, the protagonist and a big James Blunt fan, “found something he didn’t even know he was looking for” at a James Blunt concert where James Blunt is playing not “High” by James Blunt but “She’s So High” by Tal Bachman.

Porter has the second-lowest PPG of any coach in MLS history with 10+ seasons in charge, and has never made the playoffs in back-to-back seasons. So you probably need to update your priors.

I’ve always thought of Porter as a good coach, but something hasn’t been clicking the way it did elsewhere, specifically Portland and partially with Columbus

Darkly funny that vaccines have worked so well for so long that folks have straight forgotten what it means to catch a real disease that could kill you instead of mildly inconvenience you.

Losing Arena sucked. Losing Shalrie Joseph hurt. #NERevs
I hate this fucking timeline this should be us #NERevs
Last season, in 34 MLS matches, the San Jose Earthquakes had exactly two clean sheets. SJ conceded more goals than any team in MLS history over a single-season.
San Jose's 2025 debut under new manager Bruce Arena? 4-0 win over Real Salt Lake.
What a start to the season.

The Google AI results at the top of searches are so pointless. We have a resource (the internet!) that knows everything, and instead of going to the source, it's like you asked your stupid cousin who is trying to recall the information from a podcast he heard last week.

By my count, seven players have moved between New England and San Jose this winter (trade or FA).
To SJ: Mark-Anthony Kaye, Ian Harkes, Dave Romney, Earl Edwards, Nick Lima
To NE: Jackson Yueill, Tanner Beason

Rhino legend John McCarthy has had such an interesting / wild career.
Winter 2024 really fueled the run:
🇧🇷 Gabriel Pec ($10m) — 16g/14a (!), Newcomer of the Year
🇬🇭 Joseph Painstil ($9m) — 10g/10a
🇯🇵 Miki Yamane — Started 33 games, improved weakness (transition defense)
🇺🇸 John McCarthy (FA) — Starting GK
🇺🇸 John Nelson (FA) — Starting LB

The LA Galaxy return to MLS Cup thanks to a roster evolution over the past 3 windows.
It's a masterclass in roster building, with crucial signings both big (Pec/Paintsil) & small (Cerrillo/Nelson).
Signings since summer 2023 in green. Will Kuntz should have been CSO of the Year
