NEW YORK — Wrexham will conclude their United States tour in co-owner Rob McElhenney's hometown of Philadelphia, with a match against Major League Soccer (MLS) affiliate team Philadelphia Union II on July 28.

2023 has been a disastrous year for LA Galaxy. The team sits last in the MLS Western Conference and was recently kicked out of the US Open Cup. On top of that, their staff doctors told the squad on Friday that captain and main striker, Javier Hernández, will miss the rest of the season due to an ACL injury.
Oh, rats!
2023 continúa siendo una pesadilla para Javier Hernández.
Chicharito sufrió el miércoles en la noche una aparatosa lesión de rodilla que de seguro hará aún más miserable la podrida temporada que vive.
El delantero mexicano fue titular en la derrota y eliminación del LA Galaxy en la US Open Cup, pero su aporte fue limitadísimo.
While most European leagues are reaching their gripping conclusions, MLS is still very much up for grabs with 16 matchdays completed. The table has taken shape, but anything is possible in America’s top flight. From last-minute equalizers to incredible displays of impotence in front of goal, there was something for everyone on Matchday 16.
What is form but a spell to be broken? What are records but standards to be rewritten? Comfort and predictability have no home in MLS, especially not during Matchday 15. Across the league, teams and players alike found ways to buck their trends of frustration while others gave frustration a chance.
All El Tráficos count the same, right? Well, maybe that wasn't the case Tuesday night with LAFC and the LA Galaxy meeting in the U.S. Open Cup at only the Round of 16 stage and with LAFC entirely focused on next week's Concacaf Champions League final against León.
This meeting was basically the El Clásico equivalent of Barcelona playing Real Madrid in a preseason friendly at Hard Rock Stadium.
But don't tell Riqui Puig that.
The latest Salary Guide has been released by the MLS Players Association (MLSPA), revealing the highest paid MLS players 2023. There could be a change when the Secondary Transfer Window opens from July 5 to Aug. 2, but for now 31-year-old Xherdan Shaqiri has reclaimed the top spot after Lorenzo Insigne's record 2022 salary of $14 million was almost cut in half (the Italian has scored seven goals and provided two assists in 17 all-time league appearances).
Los años pesan, lo sabemos. A medida que nos ponemos más viejos, el metabolismo es más lento, nos volvemos más sedentarios, se ensancha la cintura y para qué seguir. Pero no tiene que ser así.
Y Chicharito Hernández está aquï para mostrarte el camino.
OK, OK, OK. Chicharito es un atleta profesional y todo. Sin embargo, uno igual puede sacar lecciones proporcionales al ver su impresionante cambio físico al comparar lo que era a los 31 años y a lo que es hoy a los 34.
El delantero mexicano del LA Galaxy no tiene partes blandas: es pura fibra y músculo.
The weather's warming, the flowers are blooming and your local MLS side is calling — it's tailgating season. If you're looking to schedule an outing, here are 10 players who are worth the price of admission.
There's no sound science behind this ranking so warning, some readers might be offended. But I really don't think you'll have a bad time watching any of these guys play live.

Chicharito Hernández bagged his first goal of 2023 on Saturday and ended the miserable, winless hell the LA Galaxy were experiencing in MLS.
With four losses and three draws, the mood around the team was far from giddy and the absence of the Mexican striker was a big reason for the stinky start. Hernández had been struggling with muscular injuries and missed the first five matches of the campaign. Although he returned to play some minutes against the Houston Dynamo and provided an assist against LAFC, both games ended in defeat.
