The USL championship club, San Diego Loyal, lost a game for the time being a week in a row after an alleged language of hatred through an opposing player, which the team expects in the playoffs.
The sad Diego led Phoenix Rising 3-1 at halftime on Thursday, but did not continue the game after Phoenix Rising player Junior Flemmings was accused of employing a homophobic insult opposed to Collin Martin of San Diego, who is a gay man.
Martin, who went public while a member of Minnesota United in 2018, was expelled before half-time and told the fourth arbitrator that he had been verbally assaulted.
Flemmings denied commenting on a long Twitter post and said after the attack that he was “in solidarity with the LGBTQ movement. “He said he was “disappointed” in San Diego because he had been “abused and ridiculed online with no opportunity to protect himself. “
After an argument with his team at half-time, SD manager Landon Donovan told the referee and Phoenix coach Rick Schantz that they would lose if Flemmings didn’t get rid of the game.
Donovan said the referee admitted hearing the insult, that it was in another language, but could not interpret it and could not dismiss him. Schantz didn’t need to eliminate his player, so SD left the field.
Schantz also issued a message after the video showed a discussion between him, Donovan and the referees in which the Phoenix coach asked the USMNT legend, “How long have you been playing football?”Schantz said he wondered about Donovan’s behavior, not the alleged homophobic insults.

Phoenix says he’s investigating the incident.
“To our wonderful honor, they were very transparent at the time, they gave up any hope of qualifying for the playoffs even though they seamlessly defeated one of the league’s most productive organizations,” Donovan said. “I’m incredibly proud of this organization and I’m actually proud of this organization. “
According to San Diego’s official website, “players and the team’s two coaches would have heard the insult, but the fit referees did nothing. Instead, Martin won a red card that he then canceled. Flemmings allegedly used homophobic insult as Phoenix Rising FC propelled in the field with counterattacks after Samuel Stanton scored for visitors a minute earlier.
Last week, San Diego tied the LA Galaxy II but lost the game after Omar Ontiveros of Los Angeles issued a racial slur against Elijah Martin, who was later expelled for two yellow card incidents. Galaxy.
Donovan said the groups agreed to kneel in the 71st minute, when the incident occurred in opposition to Galaxy II, and hold a banner in combination with Elijah Martin.
The game didn’t go that far.
“We went through a very complicated incident at the Los Angeles game and voted on ourselves, the community, our players, the USL, protecting intolerance, homophobic insults, things that don’t belong to our games,” Donovan said. “The moment we made one on our posters, we said, “I’ll act, I’ll talk. “Last week, our only regret was that we had to do anything when Elijah was the victim of racist abuse. it was our remorse. Of our players, of me, I would have liked to have done anything. If we had known what had happened, I think we would have done anything. “
The USL issued this statement:
“We are aware of the alleged use of a homophobic insult at tonight’s game between San Diego Loyal SC and Phoenix Rising FC. Rude and abusive language of any kind surely has no position in our society and will not be tolerated in USL parties. An investigation is recently underway to find out the facts surrounding the incident and additional data will be provided as they become available. “

Lyon has practically made its official and definitive position: the demanded stars Houssem Aouar and Memphis Depay will not leave the club the existing signing window despite long-standing interest and multiple donations from Arsenal and Barcelona.
[VIDEO: GIO Reyna of USMNT wins an assists hat-trick in Dortmund]
Arsenal spent most of the window chasing 22-year-old midfielder Houssem Aouar, for whom Lyon insisted he would leave for $60 million. The largest offer announced at Emirates Stadium fell a few million dollars after long-term rates.
It is a bitter tablet for Arsenal, as Aouar turns out to have been their main target for this window, but they are now heading towards Monday’s deadline empty-handed. It is to know how many more easily achievable players have refused in their search for Houssem Aouar, however, it is certainly another number of zero.
Of course, there are questions about whether some other offensive midfielder is what the Gunners needed, or whether they would have been in a better position to prioritize big innovations in defensive midfield. In any case, Aouar’s quality would have added up to anything vital to his team and the price of his move would only have appreciated over time. The absence of a full movement plan turned out to have bitten Arsenal again.
All of Arsenal’s move-in agreements can be summed up quickly: Willian has signed a loose play for Chelsea and defender Gabriel arrived for Lille’s $31 million.

As for Depay, Barcelona connected with the 26-year-old striker following the appointment of Ronald Koeman as a coach and, according to the report, Barca has never reached Depay’s (unknown) rating through Lyon, so he will remain at the club for the 2020–21 season.

Everton – Brighton saw the Toffees make the most of Brighton’s mistakes and punish them to remain the best in the Premier League with a 4-2 win.
Carlo Ancelotti’s appearance has now won 4 out of 4 games and has 12 problems on the table, as James Rodriguez scored twice while Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Yerry Mina were also on the form, as Neal Maupay briefly tied for Brighton and Yves Bissouma scored a goal. overdue consolation.

This victory makes Evertonians dream of getting into the four most sensitive of this season and if they can their defensive mistakes, why not?They have seven wins out of seven in all competitions to start the season.
1. Pickford can hold Everton: he made a big mistake in allowing Brighton to draw and also hit a ball directly at a Brighton player in the middle of the moment. Pickford looked fragile and as smart as Everton in midfield and in the attack, if their goalkeeper continues to make mistakes, he will stop them. It would probably be difficult for Pickford, but it seemed to be his weak link for a while and if he can be solid, Everton will probably end up in sixth most sensible place. However, it’s a big yes.
2. The unfortunate Brighton can pay for his mistakes: the Seagulls fall into the category of “doing beautiful things without being rewarded” and the Graham Potter team had to pay for their mistakes. They lost chances, of course, but they didn’t go there defensively and gave the ball very profitably and Everton made them pay. So far, Everton, Chelsea and Man United have mercilessly punished Brighton, but if they continue to play like this, they will beat many groups in the Premier League.
3. James has a massive impact; Calvert-Lewin remains undeniable: Rodriguez pulls all the strings and the whole Everton attack turns to him. It drifts and provides quality and Calvert-Lewin the attack line has a focal point. DCL has now scored in All’s 4 Everton PL games this season and leads the Premier League with six goals, helps keep things undeniable and is in the right position at the most sensible time because it knows that James and company will put opportunities on the plate.
At first, Everton had a few chances, but Calvert-Lewin shot Ryan directly, then Brighton’s goalkeeper turned down Seamus Coleman.
Brighton did not wake up in torrential rain and Everton took the lead. Gylfi Sigurdsson threw a center at the back post after a short corner and the boy at the time Calvert-Lewin scored an imposing headbutt on the back post.
However, things changed for the Toffees, as Richarlison first forced himself to get injured, then Pickford made a big mistake in allowing Maupay to do 1-1.
Mina made the 2-1 break when James Rodriguez scored a big free kick from the right and his compatriot went home.
[VIDEO: The Best of the Premier League]
Everton was ruthless in the rain when Leandro Trossard’s bad ball provoked an attack when Alex Iwobi went to the back post and Rodriguez flew to put the 3-1.
Everton claimed a fourth consecutive win to start the season, as Brighton drove hard, but may not return to the game as Pickford almost makes a costly mistake with a bad blow.
The Toffees sat down and were damaging at the counter, so they scored their fourth when Iwobi and Abdoulaye Doucoure combined as the latter ready for James Rodriguez for a very final finale.
Yves Bissouma crashed in house time to seize the moment Brighton deserved, but Everton was a well-deserved winner.

“Reyna attends” is something we will see as a trend for a while.
Gio Reyna is 17. Remember, he’s only 17.
[MORE: How to view PL in the U. S. ]
The USMNT young man scored an assists hat trick in Borussia Dortmund’s 4-0 Bundesliga win in Freiburg on Saturday when Erling Haaland scored in two of his assists and Emre Can scored compared to Reyna’s game with Zinedine Zidane.
Yes, you read it right. No wonder they call him “The American Dream” in Dortmund, as he continues to create quality opportunities for his teammates. USMNT enthusiasts enjoyed his father, Claudio, but Gio Reyna does things that a handful of American players have done in Europe.
And he’s only 18 next month, when he’ll sign a professional contract with Dortmund. Many coaches of the German giants think he can beat Christian Pulisic in the game and it’s probably surprising for football fans.
Reyna is enjoying a glorious start to the 2020–21 season and, after making her breakthrough and debut for Dortmund in the 2019-20 campaign, has accelerated things in more than a few notches in recent weeks.
Watch the videos below to watch Reyna smash Freiburg while her 3 assists save USMNT enthusiasts.
Can you imagine Reyna connecting with Pulisic in attack with Weston McKennie and Tyler Adams him in midfield?
Suddenly, Gregg Berhalter’s team has a new game creator and USMNT has touched the ball in recent months, the degrees of optimism are incredibly high.

Cavani at Manchester United can happen in the last days of the moving window, as the Uruguayan star remains remarkably a lazy agent.
[MORE: How to view PL in the U. S. ]
Cavani, 33, sued Europe’s most sensitive clubs after his contract with Paris Saint-Germain ended in July; however, no agreement has yet been reached at Atletico Madrid and Benfica, while Inter Miami in MLS opted for Gonzalo Higuaín.
All this means that El Matador has yet to announce a new club, and a TalkSPORT report in the UK indicates that Cavani at Manchester United can happen, but there are some obstacles to overcome.
You can see our special on move-in day, deadline on October 5 from four in the afternoon. up to 7 p. m. ET on NBCSN as our analysts break down all the latest transactions and dramas.
According to the report, Cavani needs to be matched his previous PSG salary of $260,000 a week and other reports say he needs a long-term contract, but Manchester United are more willing to offer him a short-term contract.
Cavani would be a very good short-term option, if you stay in shape.
Manchester United have sought a transfer deal for Barcelona striker Ousmane Dembele, but that lasts before the move-in window closes on Monday five October.
Time is running out and Manchester United now seems more than a little desperate, as the plays of Alex Telles, Jadon Sancho and Dembele have ended, and have already lost to Sergio Reguilon, Thiago Alcantara and Gareth Bale this summer.
With Mason Greenwood, Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandes, Daniel James, Odion Ighalo, Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard in attack, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has many features at the helm, but Cavani would come in and fight for a place.
As we have said many times, Man United’s precedence in the last days of the window will have to be behind us rather than moving forward.
Obviously, Solskjaer and the Man United hierarchy otherwise.
