🤦♂️Another setback for Boca ahead of the Club World Cup
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇪🇸 here.
While Boca focuses on the play-offs, the management has begun all the necessary procedures to ensure the team travels in the best possible way for the Club World Cup. Now, today a new piece of bad news has emerged. Ayrton Costa was unable to obtain a visa to travel to the United States. This is because he is currently on probation due to a court case for 'Aggravated robbery in a populated area and as part of a group,' and for this reason, the North American country denied him entry. At this moment, the Xeneize board is in direct contact with FIFA to see if the situation can be resolved. But for now, he would be left out of the most important club competition.

Tani Oluwaseyi scores twice in the second half and Minnesota claims its first-ever win in Seattle
SEATTLE (AP) — Tani Oluwaseyi scored two goals in the second half and Minnesota claimed its first-ever win in Seattle with a 3-2 victory over the Sounders on Sunday. Minnesota (8-3-6) beat the Sounders (7-5-5) for just the second time in 16 meetings — and won in Seattle for the first time in nine tries. The Sounders also knocked out Minnesota in the 2020 Western Conference championship. Advertisement Seattle (7-5-5) dropped its first game at Lumen Field this season, moving to 5-1-2. FC Cincinnati is the only MLS team yet to lose at home. Minnesota and Seattle combined for four goals in seven minutes, marking the ninth time in MLS history that two teams had four goals in eight-or-fewer minutes in a half. Oluwaseyi opened the scoring in the 51st minute when he was left alone at the penalty spot for a redirection of Robin Lod's back pass. Oluwaseyi scored again in the 58th on a rebound attempt for a 3-1 lead. Lod scored on a penalty kick in the 54th for a two-goal advantage. Kalani Kossa-Rienzi and Nicolás Romero scored for Seattle.

Seattle Sounders players wear T-shirts to protest Club World Cup prize money distribution
Associated Press The Seattle Sounders players wore T-shirts before a match Sunday that read 'Club World Cup Ca$h Grab' to demand a share of the prize money for participating in the upcoming international tournament. The Sounders, one of 32 teams set to play in the Club World Cup later this month, wore the shirts before kickoff of their match against Minnesota United. Major League Soccer's Players Association issued a statement in solidarity with the protest. 'FIFA's new tournament piles on to players' ever-increasing workload without regard to their physical well-being. In order to seize this additional calendar territory, FIFA had to commit historic amounts of prize money to secure club and player participation,' the MLSPA statement said. 'As a result, MLS will receive an unprecedented windfall. Despite the windfall, the league has refused to allocate a fair percentage of those funds to the players themselves.' The Sounders are among three MLS teams taking part in the Club World Cup, along with Inter Miami and LAFC. The tournament, which features an expanded field of club teams from around the globe, starts June 14 and will be played across 11 U.S. cities. The Sounders will earn $9.55 million as a club for participating in the tournament, with a chance to win additional prize money from wins. The MLSPA said the players have invited the league to discuss bonus terms but that 'MLS has failed to bring forward a reasonable proposal.' Currently, there is a provision of the collective bargaining agreement that caps how much prize money can go to players at $1 million. Major League Soccer declined to comment because negotiations with MLSPA are ongoing. The Sounders' starters posed for the pregame photo wearing the T-shirts, which also said 'Fair Share Now' on the back. 'It is the players who make the game possible. It is the players who are lifting MLS up on the global stage,' the MLSPA said in its statement. 'They expect to be treated fairly and with respect.' ___ AP soccer: recommended in this topic

MLS players want fair share of Club World Cup prize money. Here's how one club protested.
MLS players want fair share of Club World Cup prize money. Here's how one club protested. Show Caption Hide Caption FIFA Club World Cup will set stage for big things in United States The FIFA Club World Cup is set to take the global stage and two legendary managers explain how it will have an impact on fans and the 2026 World Cup. Sports Seriously Major League Soccer players want more money for participating in the FIFA Club World Cup later this month, but say they have received pushback from the league in their efforts. Seattle Sounders players wore shirts with the phrases 'Club World Cash Grab' and 'Fair Share Now' during pregame warmups Sunday before their match against Minnesota to demand a fair share of the Club World Cup prize money their club will earn during the tournament later this month. Three MLS clubs — Seattle, Lionel Messi's Inter Miami and Los Angeles FC — will represent the league in the tournament, which begins June 14 and will be hosted in the United States. FIFA's Club World Cup boasts a $1 billion prize pool — $475 million disbursed based on performance, and $525 million given to participating teams. The winner will take home at least $125 million. The MLS teams will make at least $9.5 million just for participating, while wins during each stage of the tournament will only drive up the possible earnings. However, MLS players earn 50 percent of money earned from outside tournaments — capped at $1 million, according to the league's collective bargaining agreement. The MLS Players Association released a statement shortly after the Sounders players display. 'The MLSPA and all MLS players stand united with the Seattle Sounders players who tonight demanded a fair share of the FIFA Club World Cup prize money,' the statement read. 'FIFA's new tournament piles on to players' ever-increasing workload without regard to their physical well-being. In order to seize this additional calendar territory, FIFA had to commit historic amounts of prize money to secure club and player participation. As a result, MLS will receive an unprecedented financial windfall. 'Despite this windfall, the league has refused to allocate a fair percentage of those funds to the players themselves. 'For months, the players have privately and respectfully invited the league to discuss bonus terms, yet MLS has failed to bring forward a reasonable proposal. Instead of recognizing the players who have brought MLS to the global stage, the league – which routinely asks the (player association) to deviate from the (collective bargaining agreement) – is clinging to an out-of-date CBA provision and ignoring longstanding international standards on what players typically receive from FIFA prize money in global competitions. 'It is the players who make the game possible. It is the players who are lifting MLS up on the global stage. They expect to be treated fairly and with respect.' Messi and Inter Miami will play in the Club World Cup opener against Egyptian club Al Alhy on June 14 in Miami. Inter Miami will also play FC Porto (Portugal) on June 19 in Atlanta, and SE Palmeiras (Brazil) on June 23 in the group stage. The Sounders will play all three of their group stage matches at home in Lumen Field in Seattle. They'll face Botafogo (Brazil) on June 15, Atletico Madrid (Spain) on June 19, then Paris Saint-Germain (France) on June 23. LAFC became the last team to enter the Club World Cup after a thrilling 2-1 win against Liga MX standouts Club America on Saturday night. They will face Chelsea (England) in Atlanta on June 16, Espérance (Tunisia) in Nashville on June 20 and CR Flamengo (Brazil) in Orlando on June 24 during the group stage.
