With the international break completed, the Orange & Blue square against a familiar foe in a not-so-familiar landscape. The red side of New York wants to forget 2025 so badly that they have tweaked their team name and made a big name their new head coach. Michael Bradley’s first five matches have been a mix of progress and regression, with Red Bull winning twice but losing two of their last three. So how do the Red Bulls return to prominence after missing their first MLS playoff in 15 years? Will the fountain of youth in the academy fuel New York’s offense? Are there any warm bodies that can help on defense after their 6-1 loss at Charlotte? We sit down with our good friend Mark from the Seeing Red Podcast to recalibrate and recognize this altered state in the Empire State.

Gabriel Jesus has described Arsenal youngster Ethan Nwaneri as a 'killer' and believes the teenager is the best finisher he has seen in training.

A distant relative found a family link to the football prodigy, as they are both related to George Male, the first player to win six English top-flight titles Dave Male could have had no idea that his decision to attend a match while he was on holiday in Spain two years ago would uncover a remarkable family link to one of English football’s brightest young prospects. The retired teacher was staying just down the road from the Pinatar Arena in Murcia and went along to watch England Under-16s in a friendly against Italy. “I was looking at the team sheet and that’s when the name Dowman hit me straight away,” Male recalls. On the pitch that day was a 14-year-old Max Dowman, already standing out as England claimed a 2-1 victory. But for Male, it wasn’t just the performance that caught his attention. It was his name. Male, a keen genealogist, recognised it instantly from his own family history.

Tottenham Hotspur are making moves — and this time, it’s not about surviving the drop. Despite being embroiled in a genuine Premier League relegation battle, Spurs have reportedly agreed a fee with Forest Green Rovers to sign 14-year-old striker sensation Darim Tchadjobo. Spurs Win Race for Teenage Sensation According to Football Insider journalist Pete O’Rourke, Tottenham have agreed a fee with Forest Green for the teenage sensation, with Spurs keen to win the race for his signature. That’s no small feat — the 14-year-old’s potential has alerted several clubs higher up the football pyramid, and it appears Spurs have beaten them all to the punch. Tchadjobo has garnered significant attention for his impressive performances in the youth ranks, consistently showcasing his goalscoring prowess as he rises through the ranks. Planning for the Future Despite Relegation Fears It’s a strange time for this kind of business at Spurs. With the club deep in a relegation scrap, long-term planning feels almost surreal. Yet this signing sends a clear signal — Tottenham’s academy vision isn’t going on hold.
