A SHOCKING miss from the MLS replacement referees in Inter Miami vs D.C. United.
The ball CLEARLY hits the hand of a Miami defender - in an unnatural position - inside the box.

The Gun Violence Archive defines a mass shooting as at least four people shot or killed in a single incident — not including the shooter.

Bartomeu is something else. Great thread on the current financial situation of Barcelona from Zach, here.
Barcelona cannot register any new signings, not Memphis Depay, Sergio Agüero, Eric García or Emerson Royal, after exceeding the La Liga salary limit.
Despite selling Konrad de la Fuente, Jean-Clair Todibo, and Junior Firpo, Barcelona need to reduce their wage bill by €200,000.

This is genuinely a defensive masterclass from Nouhou.
Mo Salah has eased by him only once during the match, where Andre Obama came out of his box making a brilliant tackle/clearance.
The Seattle Sounders defender should be very proud of this performance.
I, for one, am rooting for a Nouhou GOLAZO from thirty yards out.
Will it happen? Probably not.
Do I want it to? More than anything.

A colossal failure. That’s the only way to look at this match.
Up 3-1 at halftime, and you lose 4-3 while going down to 10-men.
