New MLS commissioner says promotion and relegation won’t be coming ‘anytime soon’
Larry Berg officially introduced to media and MLS staff
Berg to take over for Don Garber on 1 January 2027
MLS will have a new commissioner starting in 2027, but don’t expect the league to adopt the promotion and relegation system seen in league systems throughout the world anytime soon.
Larry Berg, a co-owner of MLS club Los Angeles FC and the league’s incoming boss, said in his introductory press conference on Tuesday that he doesn’t think that the long-mooted idea of bringing “pro/rel” to the North American league is “appropriate”.

Russia wanted Novorossiysk to be its main export gateway—Ukraine turned it into a chokepoint

Ukrainian aerial- and sea-drone attacks have turned Russia's busiest seaport into a place cargo ships increasingly refuse to sail, choking both imports from China and exports of grain and oil, according to The Moscow Times. Logistics and trade executives describe a route to Novorossiysk grown too risky to use, and a Russian grain-industry group warns the Black Sea export corridors could shut down entirely. The strikes that once spared container ships have now reached them too.
The China route importers are told to skip
"On the China–Novorossiysk route everything is now difficult, the delays are huge," one importer told The Moscow Times.
Freight forwarders now tell clients to avoid the route outright, three colleagues said. Aerial drones and unmanned boats make the approaches too unpredictable. Earlier strikes fell mostly on grain carriers and oil tankers. Ukrainian drones hit a container ship carrying imports in late July. Then, overnight on 1 August, a sea drone sank the FESCO vessel Yanina about 130 miles offshore. The crew got out. The cargo did not.
Ukraine hits 201 Russian shadow fleet ships in three weeks. Commander says Crimea’s supply route is now blocked indefinitely
Sailings drop as the campaign widens
Large-ship sailings from Novorossiysk fell 38% in July, the Moscow Times says, citing ship-tracking data, with tanker runs down by half.
"But now the situation will get worse, because container ships have also become a target," a logistics manager told the publication.

This is one edge of a wider Ukrainian drone campaign against Russian shipping, codenamed MoLoChKa. The name is an acronym for "Moscow will fall through Crimea." Its own public scoreboard counts 206 vessels hit in July by the Unmanned Systems Forces (SBS) alone, with another logged in August. The SBS have mostly burned the small tankers and support ships that keep Russia's sanctioned shadow fleet moving.
Ukrainian drones slash Kerch ferry crossing capacity by 75%, as daily strikes continue on Russian vessels and occupation energy infrastructure
What Russia stands to lose
Novorossiysk carries every fifth ton of Russia's seaborne exports: Urals oil, Kazakh crude, wheat for Egypt, and fertilizer for Asia and Africa.
Attacks across the Azov–Black Sea region could cost Russia up to 30–35 million tons of wheat exports this season, a grain-exporters' union estimated. That would gut a harvest analysts expected to top 44-45 million tons.
"Systematic attacks that began in July could soon lead to the complete blocking of the export corridors of the Black Sea basin," the union said.
Ukraine's drones had already cut into Russia's seaborne grain trade this summer, and repeated hits on the port's main oil terminal have dented crude loadings. Russia keeps pouring money into the port, building a new terminal worth 120.7 billion rubles (about $1.5 billion), even as ships stay away, The Moscow Times said.

Futsal : le Sélect champion à Las Vegas

L’équipe masculine U17 du Sélect de l’école Paul-Hubert de Rimouski a remporté le championnat national américain de futsal dans sa catégorie. L’événement était présenté du 29 juillet au 2 août à Las Vegas, au Nevada.
C’est grâce à un but marqué à trois secondes de la fin des prolongations en finale que les Rimouskois ont pu mettre la main sur le titre dans un match qui s’est terminé par la marque de 6-5. Lors de la ronde préliminaire, ils avaient dominé avec trois victoires (5-0, 5-3 et 5-4).
Le Sélect était qualifié pour cette prestigieuse compétition après avoir obtenu sa qualification grâce à son parcours au Northeast Regional Championship US Futsal, disputé en février dernier à Atlantic City, au New Jersey. La formation masculine avait alors décroché une médaille d’argent.
Les équipes féminines U17 et U16 avaient également réussi à se qualifier en terminant respectivement au premier et deuxième rang lors de cette même compétition et avaient aussi reçu une invitation pour le championnat national américain, mais elles ont décliné. Plusieurs de ces joueuses ont pris part au tournoi international Costa Blanca Futsal Cup qui se tenait à Benidorm, en Espagne, du 1er au 5 juillet.
Il s’agit de la deuxième année consécutive que le Sélect est grand gagnant du championnat national américain de futsal. Les équipes cadette 2 et juvénile féminines avaient remporté les grands honneurs également à Las Vegas, en juillet 2025.

Ukraine destroyed 12 fuel tanks at Russian export terminal. That’s enough fuel to fill 1,000 rail cars

Ukraine set a major Russian oil terminal ablaze on the Black Sea coast. Operators of the SBS 413th "Raid" Regiment, in a joint operation with comrades from the 1st Separate SBS Center and the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), struck the Taman maritime terminal near the village of Volna in Krasnodar Krai on 30 July, the regiment reported.
The strike destroyed a volume of fuel equal to 1,000 rail tank cars. According to updated data, 12 reservoirs, each holding 5,000 tons, were destroyed at the Taman terminal, and the fire covered more than 17,000 square meters.
The terminal is a key southern export node
Taman is one of the most important fuel facilities in southern Russia. The terminal specializes in the transshipment and export of oil, fuel oil, diesel, and liquefied petroleum gases, operates a large tank farm, and supplies fuel to Russian forces, according to the regiment.
Destroying 12 of its tanks strikes both Russia's fuel exports and its military supply at once, the dual purpose of Ukraine's campaign against Russian oil infrastructure, which targets the refineries, depots, and terminals that turn crude into export revenue and military fuel.
Satellites confirmed the fire
The strike's effect was visible from orbit. The Ukrainian drone strikes caused a large-scale fire on the terminal's territory, recorded by the NASA FIRMS satellite fire-monitoring service.
The reported date corroborates that something large burned there, moving the claim beyond a single belligerent's word.
The unit pioneered Ukraine's long-range drone strikes
The 413th "Raid" Regiment is one of the units that started Ukraine's deep-strike campaign. In 2022, at the start of the full-scale war, a group of special operations fighters first used drone technology to reconnoiter and strike enemy forces at distances up to 500 kilometers, the origin of the regiment.
The Taman strike extends the near-nightly Ukrainian campaign that has idled a large share of Russian refining capacity and now reaches the export terminals on the coast, raising the cost of the oil trade that funds Russia's war.

Guy Bernier est champion canadien chez les maîtres

Guy Bernier poursuit sur sa lancée victorieuse en ajoutant deux titres nationaux à son palmarès à l’issue des Championnats canadiens d’athlétisme maîtres, disputés du 31 juillet au 2 août à Laval.
Le Rimouskois a été couronné champion canadien du 200 mètres grâce à un temps de 25,41 secondes, avant de mettre la main sur l’or au saut en longueur avec un bond de 5,49 mètres, dans la catégorie des 45 à 49 ans.
Le représentant du Club d’athlétisme Coubertin de Rimouski a également décroché la médaille de bronze au 100 mètres, qu’il a complété en 12,25 secondes.

Mauricio Pochettino agrees deal to stay as US coach through World Cup 2030

Coach led US to last 16 at 2026 World Cup
US men’s national team head coach Mauricio Pochettino and the US Soccer Federation have agreed to a contract extension that will keep Pochettino attached to the program through 2030, US Soccer announced on Monday.
The two sides had been actively engaged in discussions on a contract extension for several months, long before the USMNT’s disappointing, last-16 exit in this summer’s World Cup, with the federation making it clear it desired Pochettino to stay. Conversations picked up in the weeks following the World Cup, with the Guardian reporting last week that the sides had been in the “final stages” of agreeing to a deal. Financial details of the contract extension were not released, but Pochettino is expected to get a raise on top of the $6m per year he earned under his previous deal with the federation – already the largest outlay for a US head coach.
