    Chicago have a sell-on clause by any chance? If they do they're gonna get paid, the guy is tearing it up for Aston Villa at the moment:

    His MLS experience got a shoutout on the BBC highlights show as an example of what MLS is trying to do with South American players, with Almiron as the other example.

    I did take umbrage when the expert called them "the historic" Chicago Fire, ironically. I have pointed out on X that the Fire are 13 years older than RB Leipzig.

    This probably needs its own 2025 Champions Cup thread, but the first three Central American teams have qualified: Real Esteli from Nicaragua, Herediano from Costa Rica and Antigua from Guatemala; this also means that either El Salvador or Honduras will be shut out of the tournament next year depending on who wins the playoff game between Aguila and Motagua. Costa Rica can potentially send three teams depending on results tonight and later this month.

    On the Carribean side, it's looking like it's going to be two Jamaican (Group A) and two Dominican teams (Group B) in the semifinals unless Real Hope from Haiti can play spoilers in Group A; if it does fall that way, then either country is guaranteed at least one participant as the top 3 teams make it to the Cup.

    Sacramento keep scoring first and then dropping points by conceding weird goals against the run of play when playing away.

    San Antonio's equalizer came from a center back making a long, almost unopposed solo run, and they just went ahead on a fluky own-goal when what should have been a routine clearance ended up getting sliced into the roof of the net.

    Undefeated Orlando Pride hosting 2nd-place Washington Spirit. A win would give Orlando the NWSL Shield with three games to spare.

    Levi Colwill just made the most amazing save off the line for England v Greece after Pickford was caught in possession 25 years out.

    I'm going to take a punt that New Zealand will win the qualifying group.

    Probably a safe bet. An even safer bet would be to say that Sāmoa will not win the group :D

    So close to a double Bong (Kalo) hit, but he heads it just over the bar.

    And it's game over.
