What we learned from Saturday’s action in week 1 of MLS.
Javier Hernandez had a big game for the Galaxy in Miami.
LAFC somehow mistakenly substituted Carlos Vela in the first half.
Austin FC fans wouldn’t miss their team’s inaugural match.
Will the eastern or western conference reign supreme in 2021?
Is 2021 LAFC’s last chance at MLS cup with their current core?
World
So is a European Super League happening?
It will be Chelsea vs Leicester in the FA Cup final.
Bayern Munich extended their lead atop the Bundesliga.
Sergino Dest has won his first trophy at Barcelona.
In a battle of Americans, Gio Reyna scored against Josh Sargent’s Bremen.
The spirit of American venture capital demonstrating the reach of its rapaciousness knows no bounds. Hard for anyone who watches and enjoys MLS to climb on a high horse, but the number of traditions under threat by this super league proposal is really staggering. Hope the whole plan never goes a step further, but I’m too old (and wise?) to be optimistic.
Looks like Mourinho is out at Tottenham.
