The disputed African Champions League tie will now be replayed but only the second leg and this time in a neutral venue over 6000 miles away from either team's home. And oh yeah, it'll have to wait until after AFCON 2019 which concludes in mid-July.
Esperance Tunis already lifted the trophy and got the medals after the suspended match last week.
CAF can always be counted on to make the wrong decision

I was mistaken about the African Champions League. They're apparently going to throw out the result from the first leg as well and replay the final as a single match.
A bunch of players on both sides will be out of contract by the time the final kicks off, if it ever does.

Should probably start a new thread for the transfer season because there are way too few soccer threads.
Hazard to Real Madrid is pricey, but I really do love what Real Madrid has done this offseason. Being that Barcelona has already grabbed de Jong and seem the clubhouse favorites to grab de Light, Real Madrid really needed to make a splash and adding Jovic, Hazard, and Rodrygo to bolster the attack with Junior - that's going to be solid. They just now need to unload James and Bale quick- they still seem to be in the market to add even more players.
Speaking of adding players, Man United have make a stunning deal, surely the kind of move to turn the tables of their misfortune toward the end of last year - singing Daniel James
Missing CL play has pretty much killed any chance they had to get a guy like Sancho (a move I wasn't necessarily on board with anyway), but I mean htf are they going to lure players there without massively overpaying. I guess they can take the Liverpool method of using a feeder club (southampton) but I mean, Swansea? oof, how times have changed.

I saw a quote on twitter a few days ago, comparing ManUnited to China as a destination. You will be well-paid, but its probably not a great career move, seems like a sell-out, and you won't be competing with the top clubs for the top cups.Speaking of adding players, Man United have make a stunning deal, surely the kind of move to turn the tables of their misfortune toward the end of last year - singing Daniel James

There is a lesson for all teams here 
Phoenix Rising are 11-0-0 with a 34-9 GF/GA when offering $1 beer nights at home games.....

I agree in terms of game flow.
That said...I'd love to see it used to punish divers/embellishers. Would hopefully nip that out pdq

Bums aren’t for mooning. They’re for bouncing on while you mime driving when your team scores a goal.

The last few years they have signed galacticos and failed. Now they seem to be going back to the SAF world of signing up and coming players at reasonable prices. If he fits in and grows, they sell him to Real Madrid for 80mill in 5 years. Everyone wins. If he fails, they are out a few bucks and his modest fee balances out the cost of Fred. Will he make up the difference between them and City? No. But hopefully its a start. And hes probably already a better winger then Lingard.Speaking of adding players, Man United have make a stunning deal, surely the kind of move to turn the tables of their misfortune toward the end of last year - singing Daniel James
But they do have more work to do. And if they have to overpay for a few quality players, I'm ok with that IF they are the right players and guys who will play for the name on the front and not the one on the back.

The MLS Players Association tweeted out some graphs and stats promoting the salary growth the players have experienced. While the data is encouraging, it is not something I expected to be promoted going into a CBA year.

Just catching up on the thread - I think it took him time to settle in. He’s so young and he had really high expectations and honestly, despite the lack of goals he had some good moments last year and the advanced stats showed he created a lot of chances. He’s been great so far this year, glad he’s continuing that.

US Open Cup match between Charleston Battery and Atlanta United was a wash on Tuesday night. Days of rain in Charleston left the field unplayable.
The field did not look great, but the players were warming up on it Tuesday night. About 30 minutes before kickoff they scrubbed the match.
The announcement came out late yesterday that the match was rescheduled to tonight (Thursday) in Kennesaw before a closed stadium. What a bummer.
The stands were filling for what looked to be a good gate for the Battery. They had played the first two rounds away and we were all excited to get a home match AND it was against the defending champs. Now, a third away match, and the smaller club has to travel on short notice.
