🚨 May is ALS Awareness Month 🚨 ALS hits close to home. My dad was diagnosed in January 2024. Donate if you can, but more importantly educate yourself, so it's not a mystery should it pop up in your life and so the families living w/ such a cruel disease don't do so alone.

NEWS: MLS suspends Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba for Saturday's match against FC Cincinnati after they skipped All-Star Game, enforcing rule that players must take part. I spoke with commissioner Don Garber about what he called a "very difficult decision." nytimes.com/athletic/65156…
The Columbus Crew first made contact to sign Wessam Abou Ali in January. Al Ahly wouldn't consider offers before the Club World Cup. Then Abou Ali exploded at the CWC. "That complicated things," Crew GM Issa Tall tells me. How the Crew got it done. givemesport.com/inside-the-col…

Mas says the schedule congestion is "untenable." Mentions Miami’s last few games, the travel. Says the situation should've been taken into account when handing down the punishment. "The decision is what it is." #InterMiamiCF #MLS
Mas: "I want to express our full support to [Lionel] Messi and [Jordi] Alba to sit. I admire both of them for putting the club first." Said the club stands behind their decision due to the schedule congestion. Says the All-Star punishment is "draconian." #InterMiamiCF #MLS
🇧🇷 Sources: Real Salt Lake have signed Brazilian forward Rwan Cruz from Botafogo on loan. @Tiagobrandao_8 1st. New designated player. Deal includes a $5m purchase option, I'm told. Cruz, 24, joined Botafogo for reported $10m fee last winter. Big signing for RSL.
There you have it.

🇵🇸🟡 BREAKING: Columbus Crew are finalizing a deal to sign forward Wessam Abou Ali from Al Ahly, per sources. Deal agreed, as @brimackay15 called. New DP, almost here. Abou Ali, 26, scored three goals at the Club World Cup.
I can confirm #Crew96 have agreed to terms and are working toward finalizing a deal for Wessam Abou Ali from Egypt's Al Ahly
It sounds very likely MLS will shift to a European-style calendar. Don Garber says it "makes sense". “We’ve got a really exciting format that we’ll be ready to present...let us get through crossing the ’t’s and dot the ‘i’s.” For @Backheeled ⤵️ backheeled.com/mls-commission…
