The 19-year-old Ugandan is in his second season with New York Red Bulls II and has made 14 appearances in USL Championship action, including 10 this season.

“Steven is a dynamic young player that we have seen develop during his time with New York Red Bulls II and we are excited to add him to our roster,” NYRB sporting director Denis Hamlett said in a news release. “What we’ve seen from Steven over the last couple months has been very exciting,” head coach Gerhard Struber said. “In his time with the club, we have seen the promising qualities he possesses, and we are looking forward to having him on the field with us.”

It's Rivalry Week for Major League Soccer with the biggest games on the schedule in place and questions about what will create more of the same.

The “derbies” and “clasicos” matter the most when allowed to grow organically. There’s also a quarter-century of history with DC United. New York playing DC for the Atlantic Cup was in many ways the early archetype for the league’s approach to rivalries. While Austin is only in their second season, they’re putting Q2 Stadium’s strong game day atmosphere and their record up against teams behind them in the standings. Rivalry games often draw the biggest, most spirited crowds in the stadiums and some of the best television ratings. The Five Stripes, whose startling initial achievements made them a case study, might well tell them to get in line. Somewhere along the line, the best of them took on a gravity of their own.

La MLS ha creando rivalidades basadas en la proximidad geográfica de sus equipos, pero estos enfrentamientos, en muchas ocasiones, están lejos de poder ser.

“Será un partido muy emocional en Houston, seguramente los jugadores darán todo en la cancha pero después, por la cuestión del calor, seguramente el nivel bajará un poco, pero será un buen partido”, dijo Estévez. Un clásico nace de las entrañas de un encono deportivo, de las batallas que deciden campeonatos, del desprecio deportivo entre las aficiones de dos equipos.

A look at what Paulo Nagamura, Pat Noonan at Cincinnati, and Ezra Hendrickson at Chicago are doing in their first season as topflight coaches.

Through 18 matches in 2022, Noonan has Cincinnati in a prime position to challenge for the club’s first MLS playoff berth. Turning to a first-time head coach makes little sense unless a club is willing to show patience as he learns on the job. It’s not wrong to say that Herrera marks the beginning of a new era for Houston. The investment made to sign an El Tri great and former La Liga winner is a radical change under a new investor/operator who brought in general manager Pat Onstad and Nagamura. Chicago moves into the second-half of the season at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings. Noonan arrived in Cincinnati as part of an organizational overhaul three years into the club’s MLS existence. The first half of Nagamura’s debut season with Houston has been a roller-coaster of ups and downs. In the game today, one thing that we take away is that our giveaways will affect our game especially at home and I think today it did big time.” Both Noonan and Hendrickson spent significant years as MLS assistants, while Nagamura arrived in Houston off of a stint as the head coach of Sporting Kansas City’s reserve entry in the USL Championship. The Dynamo fell to Charlotte FC 2-1 last weekend, becoming the first team in MLS to lose to the expansion side in its building. Giveaways undid Houston in front of a large home crowd, causing Nagamura to lament his team’s inability to perform consistently from match to match. Instead, it was about teaching a system and what it might produce for the senior squad. Any discussion of debut coaches in 2022 has no choice but to start with Steve Cherundolo’s LAFC. Cherundolo was already putting the work in before it became clear that LAFC would add significant talent during the summer transfer window.

We have a bunch of winners in this group, and tonight was a good reward for them, a good reward for the fans and I think also a message to the league that we are a good defensive team, but we can also score goals." So I think that is something that could be a real weapon." Seven's a little bit asking too much, but I think we can be a team that scores 2-3 goals a game, with those three attacking players on the field, with more cohesion in practice, maybe moving together a little better. It's a group that's had a lot of ties and a lot of frustration, but it's a group that also doesn't get beat. "If you were to say Philadelphia Union soccer: Keep a clean sheet, don't give up a shot on goal and also put the other team under pressure and score relentlessly – that's us at our best. The 7-0 scoreline equaled the league record for the largest margin of victory in a match, tying a mark set on four other occasions.

Gareth Bale has targeted trophies after signing for Major League Soccer team LAFC.

It's just a very attractive club." "The best prep is to play games," Bale said. "I want to come here.

Gareth Bale, as a nine-year chapter at Real Madrid concluded in early June, started weighing options for where he'd play next.

“The best prep is to play games,” Bale said. “Because obviously it’s a very young team here, giving them advice, seeing what I do in terms of professional standard and trying to help them. And they’re the current frontrunners to earn that honor again in 2022, before Bale, the one-time most expensive transfer worldwide upon leaving Tottenham for Real Madrid in 2013, makes his debut in Black & Gold.

LAFC made a shocking splash when the Major League Soccer club announced the signing of Real Madrid winger Gareth Bale in the 2022 summer transfer window.

Despite being 32 years old, his lack of minutes the last few years at Real Madrid can serve to give him extra juice at his age. If all goes according to plan, Bale should be available for one of the team's upcoming matches. Vela has six goals and five assists through his 16 appearances, but could use some help to put LAFC clean through atop the Western Conference. Bale has yet to make his official debut, arriving in Los Angeles on the day of the July 8 El Trafico derby against the LA Galaxy, but he was in plainclothes. First off, Bale does not arrive as an expensive player who takes up one of the team's three Designated Player slots designed for players getting paid over and above the salary budget cap that exists in MLS. Instead, he's being paid a mere $1.3 million across his one-year deal. Additionally, Los Angeles is a great place for Bale to stay relevant on the world stage should he wish to prove he can still play at a high level. Bale is not meant to be the focal point of the team's attack, but rather an additional boost for established star Carlos Vela and his supporting cast. With his Real Madrid contract expiring, Bale had put himself in the shop window. “The process is still ongoing, so I don’t have an answer for you,” said coach Steve Cherundolo two days before the match. Finally, there's excellent flexibility for Bale in his contract. LAFC is already one of the best attacking teams in the league, tied atop the goalscoring charts with 35 goals through 18 games. The Welshman is looking for a fresh start after experiencing a tough end to a Real Madrid spell that lasted nine years and peaked with heroic moments in the Champions League final.

The five-time UEFA Champions League winner arrived by plane in southern California and hours later saw his new club defeat the visiting Los Angeles Galaxy ...

"It just felt really like the right thing to do," Bale said. It's just a very attractive club." The club is really on the rise. Just excited to get started and play in front of these incredible fans." "I want to come here. It wasn't just one thing in particular," Bale said.

Things aren't always pretty, but the end result is what matters and the Union sit first in the East despite a league-leading nine draws. Bedoya would go on to score another via a Kai Wagner cross in the first half, giving him his first multi-goal performance in a Union uniform as he is in the form of his life attacking-wise. Even expanding things to France, Sweden and Scotland, Bedoya has never been involved in more than nine goals in a season. In his Union career, Bedoya has only had two seasons where he has contributed more than eight goals, and this season he has been involved in seven goals in only 18 games. Bedoya led the Union to their first MLS trophy in club history and they've also become one of the best teams in the league, with a top-three finish in the East for three consecutive seasons. Bedoya was even heavily involved in Philadelphia's successful bid to host matches during the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States. But the one thing that Bedoya hasn't done since his first full season with the team is lead the way in goals scored.
