FC Cincinnati assistant head coach Dominic Kinnear remains optimistic about their chances of topping the table despite suffering a third consecutive defeat.
Cincinnati lost 3-1 to the New York Red Bulls in MLS on Saturday, after two goals from Lewis Morgan on either side of Kyle Duncan s strike.
Corey Baird scored a consolation for the visitors but could not inspire a comeback as they slipped five points behind Eastern Conference leaders Inter Miami, who beat Chicago Fire 2-1.
Cincinnati have not won since a 6-1 thrashing of the Herons at the start of July, losing the following three by an aggregate score of 7-2, but Kinnear is unbothered by the team s recent form.
I think this is our second road loss of the year, which is remarkable, so I think we know …
According to Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United sent scouts to watch the Lisbon Derby on Sunday in order to keep an eye and deliver a report on Joao Neves. Benfica beat Sporting by 2-1, and the three points have put them at the top of the Liga Portugal table, ahead of Sporting on goal-difference.
Neves is a 19-year-old midfielder, usually providing protection for the back line, but he is capable of performing other midfield roles as well. With reports suggesting United could be open to offers for Casemiro, linked with a move to Saudi Arabia, it appears they re seeking to replace the experienced Brazilian with a young talent with the majority of his career still ahead.
Neves rose through Benfica s youth ranks and was promoted to the club s senior ranks in January this ye…
RB Salzburg are set to sign Fernando from Shakhtar Donetsk this summer, according to Fabrizio Romano. This move appears to be a part of a chain of transfer events set to take place in a few months.
Salzburg are believed to be in for the the 23-year-old striker with the aim of replacing Karim Adeyemi, who in turn seems set to join Borussia Dortmund. That, of course, depends on Erling Haaland, who made the same transition himself just over two years ago and could now be on his way to Manchester City, though Real Madrid remain an option as well.
Fernando joined Shakhtar from Palmeiras in 2018, and having spent six months on loan at Sporting Lisbon, he has so far made a total of 69 appearances for the Ukrainian club, scoring 12 goals and providing six assists. Primarily a c…
Lionel Messi could return to Barcelona, claims vice-president Eduard Romeu, stating the club knows how to perform miracles after they announced a profit.
The forward left last year when Barcelona were prevented from re-signing him after his contract expired because their financial struggles led to a massively reduced salary limit in LaLiga.
He then signed a two-year deal with Paris Saint-Germain, though the relatively short-term nature of that deal meant speculation has frequently linked the veteran Argentinian with a homecoming at Camp Nou.
Romeu suggested any decision to bring Messi back to the club is a matter for the sporting side of Barcelona, but he hinted they could make any move work financially.
He is an asset to the club and our doors are open,…
Mikel Arteta lauded the spirit of his Arsenal side after the Gunners battled to a goalless draw against Liverpool at Anfield.
Granit Xhaka was sent off midway through the first half in the first leg of the EFL Cup semi-final on Thursday, having lunged in high on Diogo Jota.
It is the fifth time Xhaka has been sent off since he made his Arsenal debut in 2016-17, more than any other Premier League player in that time.
Yet without key men Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah, who are with Senegal and Egypt respectively at the Africa Cup of Nations, Liverpool faltered in front of goal and failed to make their numerical advantage count.
Curtis Jones stoppage-time effort was the Reds only shot on target, with that attempt coming after Aaron Ramsdale had gifted Takumi M…
Spanish giants Real Madrid have been one of the busiest clubs early in the transfer market. Los Blancos have brought in Luka Modric, Eder Militao, Ferland Mendy and maybe most crucially Belgian star Eden Hazard.
The signings are part of Zinedine Zidane’s plans to revive the teams flagging fortunes after an awful campaign by their high standards. However, the club from the Spanish capital do not look finished in the transfer market. Paul Pogba and Christian Eriksen are reported transfer targets this summer.
To further strengthen their squad and balance their books, Real Madrid are believed to be looking to offload some high-profile players this summer. Here are some players linked with a summer exit:

Paul Pogba is keeping his options open after claiming nothing is decided on his future, with the Manchester United midfielder s contract expiring at the end of the season.
The France international has had an up and down career at Old Trafford since returning from Juventus in 2016.
Speaking to Telefoot, Pogba addressed his current feelings about life at United, suggesting that playing for the national team has been a welcome break from club matters.
You have to tell the truth: there were difficult times, especially when I have been in Manchester, he said.
When I m not playing or when the results are not there, coming here [to the France national team] gives you a boost.
Pogba has been linked with Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and former c…
Jamie Vardy ended his club goalscoring drought in style with a hat-trick on Saturday, as Leicester City rediscovered their Premier League title-winning form to defeat Manchester City 4-2.
Claudio Ranieri s champions were two goals up after just five minutes and made it 3-0 with 20 minutes gone, Andy King s stunner coming either side of Vardy s relief-laden opener and well-taken second.
Vardy pounced on a short John Stones back pass to squeeze home his third with 12 minutes to go, before Aleksandar Kolarov and substitute Nolito restored a measure of respectability with two late consolation goals.
A City line-up containing seven changes from the 1-1 Champions League draw with Celtic on Tuesday and employing Pep Guardiola s typical high defensive line were badly e…
Zlatan Ibrahimovic wants to see out his career in Italy, according to LA Galaxy head coach Guillermo Barros Schelotto.
Ibrahimovic revealed on Wednesday that he will not be renewing his contract with MLS side the Galaxy, where the 38-year-old arrived from Manchester United in 2018.
The ex-Paris Saint-Germain striker has been strongly linked with a return to Europe, with MLS commissioner Don Garber last week suggesting former club AC Milan are the frontrunners to re-sign the soon-to-be free agent.
Napoli, Bologna and Roma have also been touted as possible options for the former Sweden international should he return to Serie A, while A-League team Perth Glory have confirmed their interest in bringing Ibrahimovic to Australia on a guest deal.
