Squad24 Jan 2028

84 days out for Kyle Hiebert after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. St. Louis CITY SC will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad24 Jan 2028

Roman Bürki in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at St. Louis CITY SC this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market24 Jan 2028

St. Louis CITY SC may not be able to give Kevin Kelsy what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Kevin Kelsy wants continental football; whether St. Louis CITY SC can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Squad24 Jan 2028

A row about effort at St. Louis CITY SC

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Jeong Sang-Bin was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Market24 Jan 2028

The Marcel Hartel talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. St. Louis CITY SC know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

The dugout24 Jan 2028

When it matters, Jaziel Orozco plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The dugout24 Jan 2028

MyKhi Joyner asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

The dugout24 Jan 2028

Ben Lundt has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Ben Lundt has written the date down.

Market24 Jan 2028

Tahir Reid-Brown placed on the list

St. Louis CITY SC have made Tahir Reid-Brown available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

Squad10 Jan 2028

Kyle Hiebert breaks a bone — 99 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 99 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad10 Jan 2028

Words exchanged at St. Louis CITY SC

Roman Bürki and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Market10 Jan 2028

Still no ink between St. Louis CITY SC and Tomáš Ostrák

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at St. Louis CITY SC, another week without a signature from Tomáš Ostrák.

Squad10 Jan 2028

Too much change too quickly at St. Louis CITY SC

5 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

The dugout10 Jan 2028

Tomáš Ostrák knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Tomáš Ostrák trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Squad10 Jan 2028

The formation has left Aidan Dausch behind

Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. St. Louis CITY SC will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.

The dugout10 Jan 2028

Kyle Hiebert gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Kyle Hiebert is on it.

Market10 Jan 2028

The Jeong Sang-Bin story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Jeong Sang-Bin signs something — a contract at St. Louis CITY SC or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

The dugout10 Jan 2028

A door opens for Kevin Kelsy

He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.

Market26 Jul 2027

Mathieu Choinière puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Los Angeles Football Club, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market26 Jul 2027

Los Angeles Football Club sell Jacob Shaffelburg for $6.6M

Jacob Shaffelburg has left for Atlanta United FC in a $6.6M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

The terraces26 Jul 2027

Los Angeles Football Club sell a favourite for $6.6M

The accountants will call it good business and they will be right, which is not the point anybody outside the boardroom is making. Jacob Shaffelburg was one of the reasons people came, and $6.6M does not replace that by itself.

Market26 Jul 2027

CF Montreal watching Jeremy Ebobisse

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Los Angeles Football Club have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Squad26 Jul 2027

Words exchanged at Los Angeles Football Club

Danny Musovski and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Transfer targets26 Jul 2027

Too dear: Los Angeles Football Club walk away from Brayan Ceballos

$270.0K was the most the club would pay and CF Montreal were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Market26 Jul 2027

Matthew Evans moves on

St. Louis CITY SC pay $320.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Match24 Jul 2027

Los Angeles Football Club come up short against Colorado Rapids

Colorado Rapids left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad26 Jul 2027

200 appearances for Ryan Porteous

200 games in these colours. Service of that kind gets rarer every season, and the crowd knows it.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Market26 Jul 2027

Tomas Totland asks to leave St. Louis CITY SC

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market26 Jul 2027

San Diego Football Club join the queue for Mamadou Mbacke

Add another name to the list: San Diego Football Club have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Mamadou Mbacke. The answer from St. Louis CITY SC has not changed — yet.

Market26 Jul 2027

St. Louis CITY SC get their man

The chase for Matthew Evans ended with $320.0K changing hands and Los Angeles Football Club out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

Squad26 Jul 2027

A falling-out at St. Louis CITY SC

Roman Bürki and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match24 Jul 2027

6 unbeaten for St. Louis CITY SC

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 6 matches without defeat is a foundation St. Louis CITY SC did not have in the autumn.

Match24 Jul 2027

St. Louis CITY SC get the job done against Seattle Sounders

A 1‑0 win over Seattle Sounders, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings26 Jul 2027

Jeong Sang-Bin stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.87 on the card, and the St. Louis CITY SC support went home talking about one name.

The dugout26 Jul 2027

The manager’s verdict

“I am not going to get carried away and I will not let them either. It was a good day. There will be harder ones.” David Sargent kept it short after the 1‑0 win, which is what managers do when they are happy.

Player ratings26 Jul 2027

Bryce Duke was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 14. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.
