Columbus Crew sack coach Federico Higuaín for ‘man’s game’ jibe aimed at female referee

Columbus Crew sack coach Federico Higuaín for ‘man’s game’ jibe aimed at female referee

Club coach also allegedly grabbed female official’s hand Referees’ union criticises MLS’s two-match ban Major League Soccer club Columbus Crew have sacked their reserve team coach after he allegedly grabbed a female referee’s hand and told her “don’t forget this is a man’s game”. Federico Higuaín was sent off for the incident, which occurred during a MLS Next Pro league match, and was later given a two-match ban. Columbus Crew’s general manager, Issa Tall, said in a statement: “We determined it’s in the best interest of our club, players and support staff to dismiss Federico Higuaín from his responsibilities. After conversations this week and further assessing the past month, our club’s standards of what’s expected from a leader for one of our teams have not been met.” Continue reading...

MLS’s transfer window and the spending line that keeps going up

MLS’s transfer window and the spending line that keeps going up

Summer spending across the league’s 30 clubs has ballooned. Here are three takeaways from the league’s transfer window With the shadow of the 2026 World Cup hanging over the league and a potential set of rule changes looming, Major League Soccer’s summer transfer window was one defined by uncertainty, diverse strategies and record spending. It was the fourth transfer window since MLS allowed clubs to purchase players from other clubs using traditional transfer fees rather than general allocation money (GAM), the intraleague currency system. The new rule, which is now being used more frequently, has helped account for rapid growth in league expenditure, as has increased GAM allotted to each club. These trends have been seen broadly over the last two seasons, but this past window took it to a new level, smashing the previous record for summer spending. This summer, MLS teams spent 65% more year-over-year, with a total of nearly $190m spent, accounting for 45% of the 2026 total. The above factors combined to create one of the most consequential transfer windows in MLS history, which may give a glimpse into the league’s future trajectory. Continue reading...

Man City-bound 16-year-old Cavan Sullivan is MLS’s chaotic revelation

Man City-bound 16-year-old Cavan Sullivan is MLS’s chaotic revelation

The Philadelphia Union midfielder has gotten his longest run of game time since turning pro, and the data is tantalizing There’s a video from a United States U-15 camp three years ago that will make your head spin. It’s a routine training session for the boys on the pitch except one, a head shorter and a year or two younger than the others, who’s practicing with the national team for the first time. Is the boy nervous? He is not. A pass floats into the box and he checks his run, tries to get under it, but the ball is too high for his 13-year-old head to reach. He doesn’t even jump. As the cross sails over him, he flings himself forward like Superman and flicks a heel up behind his back, catching the ball with a scorpion kick that bounces straight into the path of a teammate for a cartoon assist. Continue reading...
