    That's not bad. Should bring in an extra 3 or 4 fans.

    This would be more impressive to me for a USMNT campaign of why you want to join the Inter Miami academy.

    Both Beckham and Kane hail from Leytonstone and started out at Ridgeway Rovers, a local community club.

    So the lesson is, get your kids to a local community club and they could be the Beckham or Kane.

    Seems like every MLS team is promoting this video on their socials. Part of the marketing strategy, I guess.

    Yes, they told you to look out for another advancement. I don't know who works at MLS for marketing but they are stealing money!

    This has been their signing tease announcement all season, so it's likely for Ordaz.

    And to think, I thought I couldn't possibly have less respect for corporate marketing departments.

    Because that's all it'll really take to get MLS to the next level: more marketing of the same on-the-pitch product.

    I think they announced a match between USWNT and Spain.

    Quality of the video (and lack of Raids representation) aside, isn't this exactly what everyone wanted MLS to be doing? Why all the complaints now?

    That's not at all what that video teaser was for.

    Okay - specultating just like everyone else. Though you seem to have a bit more certainty in your refutation of my statement that something was announced. Go for it.

    DC has teased *every* signing this year with that video on social media.

    As suspected, the DC United teaser video is for Ordaz.

    $2.375M cash transfer fee plus an extra $500k if performance incentives are met. Ordaz will be a U22 Initiative player for United.

    Also, I am surprised this didn't get a post yet, but Charlotte FC signed Allan Saint-Maximin to a 3 year DP contract this morning.

    You are confusing Bigsoccer with X. I don't think any of us were asking for MLS to spend money on marketing the league during or after the WC. Not marketing the league during the WC seems to be the new up to date outrage on X right now.

    Daryl Dike is a free agent. Maybe someone in MLS can bring him over. Too injury prone but if anyone can get him below TAM they'll get a good player the times he is healthy.

    The Wikipedia link for his acquisition cost (which came from MLS so surely reliable) said the Gals bought him for $10M.

    So they got a title out of him and also a $2M profit. Well done.

    Plus another $1.5 million if he reaches some performance based and add-ons.

    As indicated at the end of the column on@985Sports the #CFMTL does indeed plan to replace Ivan Jaime this summer. The club hopes to recruit a Designated Player, perhaps even two, during this transfer window.
