Sorry I'm rolling in a bit late with the news today. I think I was dehydrated and instead of drinking water, had 4 beers while watching Open Cup games and my voice is gone from yelling at Marcos DeOliviera from my couch who is by far the WORST referee I have seen in years. I'm feeling it today. Disappointing all around.

Wait…could Garber and Apple actually be orchestrating a new Messi v Ronaldo matchup between the two worst teams in the MLS 🚨🚨| NEW: An MLS club is interested in signing Cristiano Ronaldo from Al Nasser. They could recreate the Messi-Ronaldo rivalry in USA if Messi decides to join Inter Miami.[@tjuanmarti] pic.twitter.com/NoHfeWbNC2— CentreGoals. (@centregoals) June 7, 2023 I mean…that would certainly be a ‘legacy move’
Never actually acquitted. https://www.npr.org/2022/06/11/1104387831/cristiano-ronaldo-lawsuit-rape-allegations-dismissed
UGH, Acosta got "goal of the week" https://www.mlssoccer.com/news/fc-cincinnati-s-luciano-acosta-wins-goal-of-the-matchday Why wouldn't Aceves step to that Why was Burks "helping" Rafa and letting Acosta run free, like Klopas warned he would. AND he should have over played him to force him outside I didn't realize Richey had a touch on that...unfortunate he moved his foot out of the way to try and get a hand on it.
Another UGH...this is a good DP9 signing for RSL, not CFFC BREAKING: Real Salt Lake are finalizing the club-record signing of Colombian forward Chicho Arango from CF Pachuca, sources tell @TheAthletic.Arango starred for LAFC from 2021-22 and joined Pachuca in a $6m deal this winter.https://t.co/FHqMbEyk1m— Tom Bogert (@tombogert) June 7, 2023
