Charlotte FC, the newest MLS team, began play a few months ago.

Today, they fired their coach.

That was quick!

More details on the Norwich City/Mark Attanasio story.  It appears that he would be purchasing an 18% interest in the club -

While I'd love for him to invest in the Brewers, smart money investing into a team which is most likely the odds on favorite to earn automatic promotion next season. Premier league ready team.

I know FIFA has them ranked higher, but man am I glad we're getting Wales and not Ukraine.  Ukraine has been much better today and has a solid young roster that could give us trouble (not to mention that a lot of neutrals would probably jump on their bandwagon just because). Our youth and talent should be able to run circles around 32 year old Joe Allen, and 31 year old Aaron Ramsey in the midfield.  Bale is still quality from a direct kick, but considering his injury history as well as the fact that he currently doesn't have a club (was strongly linked with retirement if they didn't win, and the most recent club he's been linked with is Cardiff City), I'd much rather face them than Ukraine.

Would be a huge disappointment not to get through to the knockouts

NBC puts eight of ten opening week PL games on Peacock. Only one game televised on the weekend. ::)

See you guys next week when they're in fourth already.

NBC with a gorgeous case study in building a brand/cultivating a fanbase...and then promptly burning it down.

Id agree if that wasn't the MO repeatedly in the past otherwise.  Extending it to the opening weekend wouldn't surprise me in the least, Women's Open or otherwise

This is what they do.  Reel you in with the free broadcasts and then try to port you to the premium.

Extremely disappointing, but par for the course.

Let's see some predictions.

Champs - Liverpool
Top 4 - City, Chelsea, Spurs
Relegated - Brentford, Bournemouth, Southampton (Fulham's gotta hold on one of these years right?)

All but confirmed USMNT kits.

Horrendous. Nike just saved me some money.

I guess at least the blue ones are different than the kits they've had in the past. The white one is bland and ordinary.

Yea, the white one is just trash repurposed early 2000s crap.  The blue one, in non-weird washed out lighting could be kind of cool

Blue are marginally interesting, but looks more like an Inter Milan alternate kit than a USA one. The white are predictably boring. I'd really like to see the Waldos embraced as a full-time primary kit and a blue with red and white trim as the secondary. This is very meh. But as fjm said, it won't cost me any money at least.

It's a travesty what the usmnt allows Nike to do to the brand.

Not only are the bland and boring, but it's likely that 2-6 other countries will have the same design in different colors.

Really hoping that Pulisic can get this loan through to Newcastle.  Howe's a good manager and among the interested clubs, he'd get the most playing time there.  75th min sub appearances at Chelsea are not gonna cut it to get WC sharp.

Agreed,  definitely don't want him at that nightmare show at Old Trafford

Can’t believe I’m saying this but I’d support any move. Including united. He needs to play every week and play where he’s comfortable on the field. He’ll get that at multiple places including united. Wouldn’t be my first or second choice for him, but still better than playing 5-10 mins/game at Chelsea.
