It is astonishing how Dortmund have stumbled back into this title race.
The difference today was Amoura incapable of scoring. But Dortmund won’t care, they are now within three points.
Also Bayern have shown some real weaknesses in the second half.
Despite all that, still a long shot for BVB.

I have had MLS executives tell me they have turned down offers from Brazil because teams that have done business down there in the past haven’t been paid.
This is just one example.

Atlanta United has reached a settlement w/Botofogo on the transfer of Thiago Almada. Though it sounds less like a settlement and more like total victory. #ATLUTD.
Atlanta's statement says, "Botafogo will pay the full transfer fee, plus interest, under the terms of this settlement."

🚨 Hansi Flick on Deco: “I’m very happy with this situation. We trust and believe in ourselves. We’re looking for the same players”. "We have the same philosophy, and it allows us to work, which is the most important thing. I’ve never had anything like this”.

Is this short-term deal a “little step” that’s genuinely enough to keep the #Whitecaps in Vancouver long term or is this about buying time here?

So what's next for #VWFC after Axel Schuster's press conference? Ultimately, it's clear what the Whitecaps' big goal is - to build a new stadium

Not able to attend the Axel Schuster press conference this morning. But thankfully McColl is there to keep you up-to-date on the latest Whitecaps drama.
Axel Schuster's press conference underway
Has said that some things have maybe been not communicated the way meant and he's been surprised at how some things have been reported.

Done deal ✅
Sources 🚨 Vancouver Whitecaps are set to sign Cheikh Sabaly from FC Metz.
Sabaly adds much needed experience plus won the Africa Cup with Senegal.

I think Pedro Guimaraes might be the best non-Diego Luna teenager to play in USL.
The 17-year-old is a smooth, technical outside back who's skilled with both feet.
Well done to Orange County in identifying him from LAFC's academy, playing him, and moving him to the Bundesliga.

Whitecaps response doesn’t have me optimistic though.
In fact, this doesn’t sound good at all.
