This is from @TVSportsUpdates on the social media site that shall remain nameless:

Viewership for Friday night's MLS doubleheader on Fox, the first games on the network since the league's return from its World Cup pause:

• Nashville-Atlanta: 587,000 viewers

• Galaxy-LAFC: 504,000 viewers

Given what we've seen reported for Apple TV numbers (e.g. 75% of MLS Cup Final viewership was on Apple), that would likely bring this number to around 1-1.5m viewers. Not exactly lighting the world on fire, but a considerable jump.

The LA Galaxy have signed Japanese striker Kyōgo Furuhashi from Birmingham City, multiple sources briefed on the deal told The Athletic.

Kyōgo scored 63 goals at Celtic in the Scottish Premiership, including 27 in the 2022-23 season, which led the league. The Japanese international moved to Birmingham last summer for around €9 million, but managed just one goal in 28 appearances in the English Championship.

The 5-foot-7 striker is set to join the Galaxy immediately. Kyōgo will not require a designated player spot, sources said.
