Raúl Ruidíaz scored one of the goals of his life against Austin FC on Thursday with an absolute missile from near midfield. Ruidíaz saw Austin’s goalkeeper off his line and made him pay for it with a sumptuous strike. This is one of the best MLS goals of the season.

Any MLS club in Seattle’s shoes gets blown away on Sunday against Minnesota United at Allianz Field.
It’s an away day in mid-July with the temperature at 90 degrees. Minnesota is strong at home and hungry for a first-ever win over the Sounders at the ninth time of asking. Seattle, on the other hand, has nine players listed as “out” and has to call up two players from the Tacoma Defiance reserve team, including 15-year-old Alaskan Obed Vargas.
This is a recipe for disaster in America’s top division.
Hany Mukhtar recorded the fastest hat trick in MLS history and Nashville SC extended their home unbeaten streak to 11 games with a 5-1 victory over the visiting Chicago Fire on Saturday night.
Mukhtar tallied all three goals in the first 16 minutes.
Mukhtar, who entered with a team-leading four goals, took advantage of breakdowns on Chicago's back end to open the scoring in the 10th minute, and he came through again three minutes later.
FC Dallas announced the transfer of midfielder Tanner Tessmann to Serie A side Venezia FC on Thursday.
The 19-year-old signed a homegrown deal with Dallas ahead of the 2020 MLS campaign and has appeared in 26 games (15 starts), including seven games (six starts) this season. He has taken 20 shots and tallied one assist.
Our glorious summer of soccer has reached its halfway point with both the Euros and Copa América consigned to history, but there’s still a lot to look forward to with the Gold Cup in full swing, the Olympics starting soon and then the beginning of the 2021-22 European club season.
If you’re looking for an August 2021 soccer calendar with every game on USA TV (including EPL, LaLiga, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, MLS, NWSL and other competitions) here’s your ultimate guide.
Kelyn Rowe scored his first goal of the season to break a scoreless tie and the streaking Seattle Sounders made history with a 2-0 victory over the visiting Houston Dynamo on Wednesday night.
The Sounders (8-0-5, 29 points) established a new MLS record of 13 straight unbeaten results to begin a season. The Los Angeles Galaxy (1996, 2010), Kansas City Wizards (2000) and Real Salt Lake (2014) all opened with streaks of 12 undefeated matches.
Mientras Gerardo Martino se rompe la cabeza tratando de encontrar a un goleador para la selección de México, el vetado-no-vetado Javier Hernández se cansa de hacer goles con LA Galaxy. Chicharito ahorita lidera la tabla de goleo de la MLS, luego del doblete que marcó ante San Jose Earthquakes, en el Cali Clásico.
Christian Pulisic is living the high life this summer.
After winning the Champions League with Chelsea and Nations League with the U.S., the 22-year-old is traipsing around the country in a manner that, honestly, reminds me a bit of Johnny Manziel after he won the Heisman Trophy with Texas A&M in 2012. Pulisic broke ground on new soccer fields in his home state (the Pulisic Stomping Ground) and has appeared on national broadcasts like Good Morning America and the Daily Show.
Se acabó la sequía. 185 días después, Carlos Vela volvió a marcar para el LAFC.
La última vez que lo había hecho fue un doblete ante el América, en las semifinales de la Liga de Campeones de la Concacaf 2020, en un triunfo que terminó sentenciando la suerte de Miguel Herrera al mando de Las Águilas.
Vela comenzó el 2021 con una lesión de cuádriceps en el partido inaugural de la temporada. Luego de volver a la oncena titular, sin embargo, pasó cuatro juegos sin glorias.
The New York Red Bulls are transferring 18-year-old midfielder Caden Clark to RB Leipzig of the Bundesliga.

Hey, Caden!
