In the 72 hours following his LAFC signing, Son Heung-Min was the top-selling athlete across the Fanatics Network for jersey sales. He now ranks second all-time in MLS consumer product sales, behind only Lionel Messi.

The league defines a “newcomer” as a player with previous professional experience who made his MLS debut in 2025. Nominees must have played at least 500 minutes during the 2025 MLS regular season.

Bruce Arena talked up the team’s progress, but also said there “at least 6 games” where they dropped points that they shouldn’t have. Said they weren’t consistent enough. He also had this gem. “The salary cap is always challenging…I’m going to call into Inter Miami and see how they do it.” #Quakes74

Lacob, no stranger to Bay Area sports, is viewed by many fans as the ideal owner for the Quakes. He has been linked to a possible purchase of the Earthquakes and has also reportedly shown past interest in acquiring another John Fisher–owned team, the Oakland A’s.

“the head of FIFA, who’s phenomenal, and I would say, ‘Let’s move it to another location,’ and he would do that. He wouldn’t love to do it, but he’d do it, very easily, he’d do it. And this is the right time to do it.” Quote from Oval Office

President Donald Trump: "We can take them away. I love the people of Boston. And I know the games are sold out, but the mayor is not good... If somebody’s doing a bad job, and if I feel there’s unsafe conditions, I would call Gianni [Infantino]…”

According to sources, you must re-register for each World Cup ticket draw. Being denied in the Visa Presale draw does not prevent you from signing up for future draws. The same rules apply to all draws: a maximum of four tickets per match and 40 tickets for the tournament.

In previous years, in the VIP section, teams warm up and walk through, giving you the chance to get right up to the players and even chat with them.

Easily one of the best-kept secrets in the industry, this is an excellent opportunity for fans to interact with their favorite players.
