Kai Havertz expected to head from Chelsea to Arsenal in a deal that could be worth up to $85.8 million.

For Chelsea, this deal was necessary as they look to balance the books from last season's insane spending.

For Arsenal...is Havertz the missing piece needed to win the Premier League title? He didn't really score enough at Chelsea, though he arguably is an upgrade over several players in the Gunners's side. The deal might take them out of contention for Declan Rice, however, as I can't see how they'd be able to fit another signing of $100 million+ into their summer window.


As far as Declan Rice goes, Arsenal are the favorites to nab him. CB/RB Jurriën Timber is set to go to Arsenal.

Declan Rice is heading to Arsenal.

Not only does this move make Arsenal the top contender to take the Premier League away from Manchester City, but this might actually make the Gunners contenders in the Champions League as well.

Fantastic signing.


I am so happy he's joining Arsenal.

Arsenal's signing of Declan Rice became official yesterday.

Inter Miami's last Messi and Busquets-free game ended in a 3-nil loss to my St. Louis City SC.

New Zealand are the first-ever women's World Cup hosts (or co-hosts) to get eliminated in the group stage phase with their nil-nil draw to Switzerland, in conjunction with Norway's 6-nil thumping of the Philippines.

The USWNT drew with Portugal nil-nil, good enough to see them through to the Round of 16. Portugal came within a whisker of eliminating the US. With the 7-0 beating of Vietnam, the Dutch take the group.

Sweden eliminated the USA on Penalties 5-4 after drawing nil-nil. There will be no threepeat, as the USWNT are eliminated in the round of 16. This is the first time ever the USWNT go home medalless in the FIFA WWC.


Rapinoe and Smith's misses from the spot cost us.

FIRE VLATKO!!!

Arsenal win 3-1 over Manchester United, with 2 stoppage time goals from Declan Rice and Gabriel Jesus to give the Gunners the 3 points. The VAR took away Manchester United's potential game-winner and a potential penalty from Arsenal.

A very big win for Arsenal, as they finally break their long losing streak against Manchester City in Premier League play. Gabriel Martinelli got the game-winner to give his side the 1-nil win over Manchester City.

Premier League club Everton could be facing a 12-point deduction that would harm their survival chances.

 

Sachin Nakrani and Andy Hunter at The Guardian:
Quote
The Premier League has reportedly recommended that Everton should be hit with a 12-point deduction if found guilty of breaching its financial fair play rules.

Everton were referred by the Premier League to an independent commission in March following an audit of all top-flight clubs’ financial records for the 2021-22 season. The details of the charge have not been disclosed but are believed to relate to a tax issue connected to loans for Everton’s new stadium at Bramley Moore dock. The disciplinary hearing began last week and a verdict is expected later this year.

 
The league’s profitability and sustainability rules allow clubs to lose a maximum of £105m over a three-year period or face sanctions; Everton had recorded losses of £371.8m over the the previous three years and annual losses for five consecutive years - more than £430m in total over the period.

 
Everton could be fined or hit with a transfer embargo if found guilty but, according to the Daily Telegraph, the Premier League has recommended a points deduction up to a maximum of 12 points. As things stand, a 12-point deduction would leave Everton bottom with minus-five points and well and truly facing a third battle in three years to avoid relegation to the Championship.

Disgraceful refereeing for Newcastle-Arsenal.

Yep. Mikel Arteta has every right to be livid. That goal should NOT have been given, and Bruno Guimarães should have been sent off.

St. Louis CITY SC's first-ever MLS season ends with a heartbreaking 2-1 loss to our hated rivals Sporting Kansas, as they swept us 2-0 in the series. 
At the beginning of the season, no one expected us to even clinch a trip to the playoffs, let alone the #1 spot in the West. All in all, we way exceeded expectations that were given to us to begin the season, which was to avoid last place in the West and at least get within touching distance of a playoff spot.
Next year will be year two, and our road to our first MLS Cup trophy will begin anew.
