w/ @tombogert:
MLS teams keep rebranding to try becoming "global brands" with modern and simplistic crests.
Meanwhile, a team donning this gem just made it to the Premier League. A win for the purists.
Still such an odd world when players get longer suspensions for betting on sports than those who use hate speech on the pitch…but the same players are made to advertise for sports betting companies every single match.
Brentford and England striker Ivan Toney has been banned from football for eight months over 232 betting breaches.
It means Toney, who has scored 21 goals in 35 appearances for Brentford this season, is unlikely to move this summer as his suitors are now likely to be deterred.
It’s really a shame FIFA only lets teams make a single substitution in a World Cup match. Imagine what could be done with all the good players the United States brought.
