Long-Term Loanees And First Team Phonies: Nine Forgotten Players Still On The Books At EPL Clubs

A Premier League transfer caught my eye over the weekend, not because of the notoriety of the player, but actually for the exact opposite reason. Chelsea midfielder Lewis Baker joined Stoke City on a permanent deal following 17 years with the Blues.

Not familiar with the name? Don't feel too bad. Baker made just two first-team appearances during his time in London — FA Cup cameos during the 13-14 and 21-22 seasons. Instead, the 26-year-old had eight loan spells in four countries after being promoted to the Chelsea senior squad in 2014.

MLS Cup Champion NYCFC’s Home Opener Will Be 3,000 Miles From Home

NYCFC may be the best team in Major League Soccer, but in the larger New York sports landscape, the club is often treated like an insignificant middle school chess club. How else can you explain the reigning MLS Cup champions playing their 2022 home opener 3,000 miles from home?

Well, well, well... La batalla para convertirse en el nuevo rey del vecindario comenzó anoche con el anuncio de las parejas que animarán los octavos de final de la Liga de Campeones de la Concacaf 2022.

No hubo necesidad de hacer un doble sorteo como sucedió hace unos días con esos principiantes de la UEFA y el futuro de Cruz Azul, León, Pumas y Santos Laguna, los equipos que defenderán el estandarte mexicano en la competencia, quedó de la siguiente manera:

Montreal Draws Santos Laguna, Pumas UNAM Gets Saprissa In CONCACAF Champions League

Timbs Overpower The Timbers — NYCFC Overcomes Horrific Blown Call To Win Club’s First MLS Cup

New York City FC lifted MLS Cup for the first time in the club’s six-year history on Saturday after tying Portland 1-1 and defeating the Timbers 4-2 on penalty kicks. The Timbers were heavy favorites heading into the final, but the traveling NYCFC supporters pulled out their secret weapon: the timbs.

One of the biggest talking points of the game was the horrific blown call in the final seconds during the build-up of Portland’s equalizer. NYCFC was seconds from lifting its first title when Larrys Mabiala clearly fouled Maxime Chanot. Felipe Mora then put home the equalizer.

CBS Is Ready For MLS Cup Featuring Porto And New York City FC

CBS doesn’t have the broadcasting rights for MLS Cup and apparently couldn’t give less of a damn about who is playing. I was double-checking which channel was showing the game and clicked on the preview done by CBS.

Timbers Leaning On Home-Field Advantage In MLS Cup vs. NYCFC

Portland head coach Giovanni Savarese said he expects the raucous Timbers fanbase to give his team a major boost when they take on visiting New York City FC in the MLS Cup Final on Saturday.

The team's mascot, the chainsaw-wielding 'Timber Joey,' slices a piece off of a giant tree every time Portland scores, and Savarese said he expects his side to cut NYCFC down too.

"I believe so, 100 percent," he told reporters when asked if his team would claim the franchise's second Cup at Providence Park.
