LAFC loses Olivier Giroud's farewell match, falling 1-0 to Vancouver Whitecaps
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Emmanuel Sabbi scored on Vancouver's only shot on goal, Yohei Takaoka made four saves and the Whitecaps spoiled Olivier Giroud's farewell match with a 1-0 victory over Los Angeles FC on Sunday night. Giroud started and played 60 minutes in his final appearance for LAFC. The famed French forward is expected to sign with Lille after one disappointing year in Los Angeles during which he was largely an unproductive substitute, scoring just five goals in 38 matches. Advertisement Giroud had a chance to go out with a bang when Denis Bouanga fed him an exceptional cross while he was unmarked deep in Vancouver's penalty area in the 50th minute, but Giroud volleyed it over the bar. Giroud still left the field to a standing ovation 10 minutes later, but LAFC failed to equalize without him in its first match back from a winless three-game stint at the Club World Cup. LAFC scored one goal in the entire FIFA tournament, but still netted at least $9.5 million for earning the final spot in the field. Back in Los Angeles, its nine-match unbeaten run in league play ended with even more offensive frustration against Vancouver. Takaoka secured his 10th clean sheet for the depleted Whitecaps, who won for just the second time in six matches while falling out of first place in the Western Conference. Vancouver doesn't have key contributors Brian White, Jayden Nelson and Sebastian Berhalter due to Gold Cup international duty. Advertisement Sabbi scored in the 20th minute with an exceptional effort, starting a counterattack with a midfield steal before controlling Jeevan Badwal's pass in midair on the run and scoring his first goal since April 12. Backup goalkeeper David Ochoa made his first appearance for LAFC in place of Hugo Lloris, who got the day off after playing the entire Club World Cup. ___ AP soccer:

What Does Bills' James Cook Need To Justify New Contract?
What Does Bills' James Cook Need To Justify New Contract? originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Buffalo Bills running back James Cook is still without his desired new contract, despite stating he wanted an extension months ago. Advertisement The Bills have since re-signed a host of key players such as Josh Allen, Khalil Shakir, and Greg Rousseau, but James and his reported want for $15 million APY have been left off the to-do list. He participated in mandatory minicamp and stated he will be at training camp; we just don't know in what capacity. Given the Bills have just $100,700 in cap space, a contract extension this offseason looks unlikely, but what about next offseason? Sure, but then Buffalo won't be the only team in for James' services. Now, we want all players to receive compensation that reflects their worth, as they deserve to be paid for the work they do to entertain fans. So, looking ahead to the 2025 season, what type of year would James need to have to warrant a contract of roughly $15 million APY? Advertisement ESPN's Mike Clay projects Cook to have 1,228 yards and 12 touchdowns, along with an extra 284 yards and two touchdowns as a receiver. Fans are left to wonder… Would that do it? Buffalo Bills running back James Cook (4).Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images It would mark a third straight season of 1,000+ yards and back-to-back seasons of 10+ rushing touchdowns, and that would also likely make it three straight Pro Bowls for the running back. Yeah, that'll likely do it. But if that eventuates, Cook will likely have a few teams chasing his signature next offseason, because he now has the skins on the wall for three years. Now, we think James should be paid this offseason, but it doesn't look like that will be happening. But do what Clay is projecting here, and James will get that monster new contract. Advertisement Because if it isn't Buffalo, someone else will give James what he feels he is worth.
