Sources: Nashville SC complete club-record signing of Ake Loba from CF Monterrey By Tom Bogert Wednesday, Jul 7, 2021, 01:18 PM
If you thought Knighton's brain cramp was bad, wait until you see the highlights from last night's games. Matt Freese for PHI with a DOGSO red, and Cubo Torres for ATL with a blatant hand ball (YC/PK). Both games were draws, which is good for the Revs (4 pts up on PHI, 5 on NAS - NAS has game in hand).
I mentioned this in the Dallas game thread, but they continue just sprouting out players. Another 19-year old that might be going to Venezia (Serie A). It's amazing to me that a club in Serie A is about to use a non-EU slot on a 19-year-old FC Dallas squad player from Alabama named "Tanner" who was close to becoming a Division 1 college football player a little over a year ago.— MLS Buzz (@MLS_Buzz) July 8, 2021
Not quite back to normal yet, but a few home games in Canada this month: CF Montréal and Toronto FC to host select matches in Canada Wednesday, Jul 14, 2021, 03:45 PM mlssoccer.com Vancouver Whitecaps staying in Utah, for now.

Busio's deal almost finalized. Just awaiting final signed docs and player medical. @SportingKC agreed to the following; $10.5m-11m range between transfer and incentives for @gbusio13 with Venezia. Should be finalized by mid-week according to a source close to the player. #SportingKC #MLS— Taylor Twellman (@TaylorTwellman) July 18, 2021
Worth noting that Seattle finally lost this weekend, 1-0 to Minnesota. It's a long season, but that does mean for this past weekend anyway that we were able to gain some ground on them.
Revs were atop the Supporters Shield standings for a glorious 24 hours, but Seattle beat Austin (on a Ruidiaz golazo) to regain the lead. ORL beat PHI, thanks to a goal-line save by RB Kyle Smith (with his face!) in the dying moments. ORL moves up to 2nd in the East, 5 pts back of the Revs.

Meanwhile it appears the Revs aren't bringing anyone in according to Bruce, they've now lost their top player Gil for a bit, are selling Tajon (albeit possibly with a loan-back according to soc med chatter today). Seems like roster quality is doing a net-negative swing. Seems like standing pat this year may not be the best approach. But what do I know, I'm just someone posting stuff on BigSoccer.
