Milan felt like a club reborn a few years ago. Nowadays? They're in turmoil, and it could get even worse. For @thetransferflow.bsky.social: I wrote about the highs and lows of the past few years, their failed gamble with Max Allegri, and what might lie ahead www.thetransferflow.com/p/where-do-a...

I’ve officially got World Cup fever. I am particularly excited for parity in group A and how Mexico can rise to the occasion in a massive opener against South Africa

Emi Buendia, that is tremendous. What a spectacular goal in final

It’s been lost in the shuffle because of Arsenal’s success, but Austin MacPhee is a creative genius and one of the best set piece coaches in the world

football is a spectacularly random game you cannot guarantee a trophy, but you can make yourself good enough, for long enough, that you are favored to land one eventually

Great to back chatting with Neel here. Manchester city have kicked off what looks to be an exciting summer of coaching moves!

Nashville v LAFC is delivering

WOW

That’s a great birdie to get, Sunday afternoon is a great time to play your best golf

Pulling for Aaron Rai right now, that was an awesome eagle putt

Soccer fans make me think the world is ending because it’ll be 930 in the morning and they’re posting “this is sickening, tear everything down, my life is over”

The good news: the top 4 divisions in English football are all using a squad-cost ratio approach to financial regulation next season. The bad news: they’re using 4 different versions of it & many worry SCR just gives rich clubs an even bigger advantage. www.nytimes.com/athletic/728...

Kills me that Brad has always got the short end of the stick with these things. He maybe hasn’t been the #1 keeper in any of the last 4.5 seasons but he might be the only guy that has been in the top 4 or 5 in all of them. He’s been some player for Austin

And yes I have City v Palace on and yes Phil Foden is a genius

You can’t be happier for anyone than Kyle Wootton. Sacrifices for the team and still scoring 🙌

That’s a lovely counter from Stockport and the kind of quality that Barry would love to show off in the Championship

If I were a Boro fan, this would have me ripping out my hair and ruin my summer knowing automatic promotion was right there for the taking, especially if Hellberg ends up dipping for the PL

MLS broadcast, I don’t know if showing xG per shot including a penalty is really that helpful…

The Olivia Rodrigo in the longer room after this Barca game is going to hit like crazy

RASHFORD Wow what a moment🔴🔵

Doku is awesome

Really good buildup from Stockport. We need a goal in at least one of these playoff games!

There isn’t really an equivalent to Unai Emery being so good at Europa League in another sport right? I’m having a hard time explaining the hype to my girlfriend 😂

I think Toluca score a worldie every time I watch them

Unstoppable force v immovable object. Reigning champ looking to defend their title. Historic club looking for new heights. I cannot wait for this final

I know everyone who has ever identified as a midfielder is rewatching the Kovacic assist with dreamy eyes. Gorgeous pass

That’s an excellent finish from Doku. Goal has been coming. Fair play to Nunes for that left footed pass in build up to open up the play I’ve been critical of him but that was a phenomenal pass that might be missed in highlights packages Cc @thetransferflow.bsky.social @patrickbvs.bsky.social

It is incredible when you realise that only Arsenal and Man City have picked up more points away from home than Spurs this season (26).

Stuver and Burki both been excellent here I don’t imagine we will see Rosales in midfield for Austin all year but it opens up opportunities for Facu Torres to get on the ball in spots he likes

That is a DP save from Burki, wow!

Flipped from LAFC to LA Galaxy and we got a goal there too. Walking in a LA wonderland

They really brought out the good MLS tonight 🎩✨

MLS as a league need to mic up Nkosi Tafari. My man plays with so much passion, bit of trash talk but he can back it up 🗣️🗣️

Miami have wasted no time in looking SILKY. Lot of quality on display

Real Salt Lake is such a fun team. Diego Luna and Zavier Gozo buzzing today (both scored). Whole attack is suffocating. Really watchable.

RSL’s wingback / 10s are something I look forward to each week

Buzzing for Wes. Now I need Stockport to do the business in the playoffs👏👏

WES BURNS YOU BEAUTIFUL MAN, BACK TO THE PREMIER LEAGUE WHERE YOU BELONG

Two thoughts about Mourinho to Madrid 1. It's wild that his 2011-12 team scored 121 goals, the most ever in the top five leagues, and he still came away with a reputation as a "defensive manager" 2. It's wilder that Bayern Munich might break that record this season in 34 Bundesliga games

The East might get even better next yr, which made it imperative to further increase your chances of at least making the conference finals and putting up a good fight. Your window of contention is almost always smaller than given credit for at the time

Hurts me to see that this could happen. I hope something can come together here for a historic franchise that has some really excellent people

What are Chelsea even doing? @patrickbvs.bsky.social and @hvanbrewer.bsky.social break down the Rosenior sacking, the BlueCo project, and whether this squad can ever reach its potential. youtube.com/watch?v=Ho4GPLT-H9c&feature

Evander made that look easy, that is real quality 👏👏

I am personally curious as to how fun a Fernandez-Mercau x Alonso Martinez attack could be for NYCFC

With most teams having played 8 games, the underlying stats are beginning to become useful while still noisy. Vancouver may be the best MLS team ever and SKC the worst. Both are performing as expected. There's a huge pack of average teams down on their luck.

That’s a real “life comes at you fast” sequence for Everton

The Championship calls to Spurs like the Green Goblin mask. They end the season away at Chelsea and home against Everton. Curious to see how De Zerbi schedules training. They have a full week between each match. Still enough time for some form of macro training session plan (5 weeks remaining).

if spurs fans want to at least know it could be worse, leicester are getting relegated to league 1 with a skipp/winks midfield
