Harbor Miller was left off the '22 under 22' MLS Rankings this season. I asked Miller, who assisted on Klauss' goal that opened the game for the Galaxy, if he used that as a fire for himself. #LAGalaxy #MLS

I have a long standing rule: when a Clipper fan writes (or draws) a book, I read it. Amazing work from our guy @lolwtferic.

Big AJ has yet to have a bad match and is consistently over with AEW crowds because of it. May go down as the greatest Pre-Show act of all time.
Big Boom AJ & QT Marshall issue a challenge to RPG Vice for a multi-man tag team match at AEW Full Gear! Big Justice & The Rizzler will be there too!

If the Quakes sell for the $625 million estimated by Sportico, including PayPal Park, that puts the deal into perspective. The last MLS expansion fee was $500 million for a new franchise, without an existing stadium. PayPal Park alone cost approximately $100 million to build. The Quakes, meanwhile, were originally valued at $585 million with a stadium already built and paid for in the Bay Area. When you compare the cost of acquiring an expansion franchise and building a stadium, this ownership group got an absolute steal. #MLS #Quakes74 #SanJose

HUGE deal for the San Jose Earthquakes. Freeman seems to be a private businessman, but hopefully for one of MLS' oldest franchises, he hires the right people to coast the ship. #MLS #SanJoseEarthquakes
BREAKING: The San Jose Earthquakes have sold to Heath Freeman of Alden Global Capital for $625 million. MLS owners approved the bid on Thursday, according to two people familiar with the agreement. @kbadenhausen with the story: sportico.com/business/team-s…

The USMNT - MLS discourse over the last few days is really something to consume. It is no lie that the USMNT are not a top country in the world for soccer. Some think it was close with Poch and I think he got some things right that I hope the next boss will carry on.

However, the random "oh an MLS coach could NEVER carry this team that far" and such is just hilarious to me. Hate on MLS all you want, it's your right, but the mediocrity discussions are hypocritical. Poch's squad is probably the best team they have ever had outside of 2002/2010.

I hope he succeeds because I think he's a fun guy.

VIDEO: Thoughts about the messages I heard at #LAGalaxy’s exit interview presser today. I talked Reus’ preaching of training, Yoshida weighing the future of his career, JT talking about winning LARS Player of the Year and Vanney standing his ground as the head coach.

Just a reminder this guy has a documented history of sharing info taken from journalists as if its his own without giving credit, and has absolutely no known authentic MLS insider connections. If anything, any credible MLS or team sources that I've developed over the last decade avoid him entirely. Any rando can speculate and anyone remotely familiar with the power structure and culture at LA Galaxy would not be surprised if Vanney was given a chance through the Sprint season regardless if they think that's what should happen.

Press Conference: LA Galaxy Goalkeeper JT Marcinkowski calls Greg Vanney "the best coach I've played for" and that "the whole entire locker room backs him." His statements come after the Galaxy have failed to make the playoffs in 4 of the last 6 years with big questions around Vanney's continued tenure with LA. #LAGalaxy #MLS

Greg Vanney on success: “What does that look like? You've seen it before, whether you watched Toronto in the past or whether you watched the LA Galaxy in 2024 or stretches of us. I like being a proactive team. 
I want to have more of the ball than less of the ball.” 1/3

I want to be able to attack and be relentless about our ability to create opportunities, goal scoring chances. I want to be exciting. 
I want the fans to feel like they have something to be exciting about. I don’t want to be a team that sits on the top of my box, recovers 2/3

"We're all on board, our trend is in the right direction. I know the coursse of the last 10 or 11 years, I don't know how many coaches you can find that have won more championships and competed for more things than I have over here. So I know what it is to get it done." -Vanney

#LAGalaxy Head Coach Greg Vanney told @ScottJFrench: "If you have a Riqui Puig personality, he changes the team." Vanney called Puig an instigator and is the one who barks at his teammates to be better.
