Some scuttlebutt floating around about Arsenal signing Vinicius Junior.

Seems that it was just the wind. Vinicius will stay at Real Madrid.

Liverpool is playing Wrexham tonight in a friendly. In the Meadowlands, I believe. 7:30 on ESPN. I’ll probably catch it, it will be fun to see Wrexham going full blast for bragging rights.

Fixed. I just now turned it on. No score at the half.

Wrexham-Sunderland at Subaru Park, Philadelphia, on August 2.

Howe stepping down at Newcastle now is pretty odd timing. I'm guessing Bruno G is gone soon to Arsenal and they already lost Tonali to Spurs. Isak to Liverpool last year....cannot say I blame him.

This is becoming ridiculous, this delay. How long have we been waiting for sanctions on Man City?

Apparently not long enough.

Be honest. You never knew that the Sydney Super Cup existed until your other search went awry.

Perhaps not the best place for this, and few may care, but I just saw a commercial for the Bundesliga on USA and Fandango starting this season. Interesting read here:

New Bundesliga TV deal in US prioritizes reach over money

The Bundesliga has a new home on American screens after Germany's top football league left ESPN. The new deal is a sign of the times.

Seems that it was just the wind. Vinicius will stay at Real Madrid.

Maybe not, as it seems increasingly likely that Vinicius ends up at Arsenal. Arsenal signed Guimaraes today.

Vinicius stays with Real Madrid. I am rotten glad that this back-and-forth farce is over. I had read an article saying that Vini was a poor fit into Arteta’s defensive philosophy so I’ll let that console me.

The tables all show Bournemouth on top, with Arsenal in 2nd, and I was like, WTF? Turns out it’s AFC Bournemouth.

Huh, don’t know how I missed that. Well I guess my concerns about if ESPN Unlimited would be available on YouTube TV in time for the start of the season were unfounded. However, I don’t have Fandango. Hopefully BvB will be on USA more often than not.
