Invited by the German Football League (DFL), FC Augsburg sporting director Benjamin Weber is currently visiting World Cup co-host the United States on an inspirational networking trip.

Report: Liverpool could battle Newcastle United once again in race for midfielder
Lamine Camara to Liverpool could be summer move that finally fixes midfield balance

Liverpool have been linked with plenty this summer, but some names feel more relevant than others. Lamine Camara falls into that bracket. According to Chronicle Live, relaying reporting around Newcastle’s position, the Magpies are now “out of the race” for the Senegal midfielder, with Liverpool and Brighton both noted as interested.

That immediately sharpens the focus.

The license to keep dreaming big in the African nation is well and truly there. After their thrashing of Canada, Morocco are back in the World Cup quarter-finals for the second tournament in a row, but they want more.

On paper, I think this was the toughest of this weekend’s matchups against the Milwaukee Brewers, who came into yesterday with the second best record in the Major Leagues. Brandon Woodruff took the mound for the Brew Crew (2-1, 2.59 ERA before today) while Merrill Kelly, who has not been great this year, was going for us.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — An All-Star snub provided some extra motivation for Sonny Gray on Saturday night, the Boston Red Sox right-hander using the slight for fuel in an 8-1 victory over the Los Angeles Angels.
The 36-year-old Gray allowed a run and four hits in six innings, striking out seven and walking two, to improve to 10-1 with a 2.61 ERA — the second-best mark in the American League. He has six straight quality starts since May 30, going 5-0 with a 1.97 ERA.

This was a pretty underwhelming game from the offense. They faced a good pitcher in Burke, but boy did they make him look great. A solo HR from Hedgey in the 5th is the only thing that kept this one from being a shutout. Hedges is now hitting .281 with a .756 OPS on the season.
