Emil Forsberg has 2 goals and 2 assists, Red Bulls beat Galaxy 7-0
HARRISON, N.J. (AP) — Emil Forsberg had two goals and two assists, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting also scored two goals and the New York Red Bulls beat the LA Galaxy 6-0 on Saturday night and the extend the defending MLS Cup champions' winless skid.
The Galaxy (0-9-3) have gone an MLS-record 12 consecutive games without a win to start the season. Their last win was a 2-1 victory over the Red Bulls on Dec. 7 to claim the 2024 MLS Cup title.
New York tied the club mark for goals in a game, set in 2016 against New York City FC.
Forsberg joined Antony De Avila (July 13, 1997) as the only players in Red Bulls history with multiple goals and assists in an MLS game.
Choupo-Moting opened the scoring in the seventh minute with a rolling shot from the right-center of the area that slipped inside the back post into the side-net. The 36-year-old in his first MLS season put away a feed from Forsberg to make it 3-0 in the 31st minute, his first multi-goal game for New York (5-4-3).
Omar Valencia played a ball ahead to Forsberg, who slipped behind the defense and beat goalkeeper John McCarthy one on one to give New York a 2-0 lead in the 16th. His free kick from 30 yards out slipped under the crossbar to make it 4-0 in the 50th minute.
Cameron Harper came on in the 67th and scored his first goal of the season in the 68th, Dennis Gjengaar made it 6-0 in the 88th minute and an own goal on LA's Miki Yamane capped the scoring in the third minute of stoppage time.

Jake Retzlaff still loves BYU but expresses faith in his fresh start at Tulane
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Jake Retzlaff is embracing some new nicknames. 'BYJew' is an endearment of the past . Now, 'Kosher Cannon,' 'Shabbat Shotgun' and 'Bayou Jew' are among the monikers mentioned by the sizeable Jewish community at Retzlaff's new school, Tulane. It's a fresh start for Retzlaff, but one the former BYU quarterback wasn't necessarily seeking until May, when he was named in a since-dismissed civil sexual assault lawsuit. Retzlaff maintains that he loved playing for the Cougars, despite being one of very few Jews on BYU's predominantly Mormon campus in Provo, Utah. 'BYU was an amazing place. It made me into an amazing human being. I feel like it helped me grow in so many ways on and especially off the field,' Retzlaff said, wearing a Star of David on a chain around his neck. 'It helped me connect stronger with my faith than I did before, because I was in a place where it was so faith-oriented that it was just right in front of you.' Retzlaff went 11-2 as a starter for a 2024 BYU team that finished the season at No. 13 in the final AP Top 25 Poll . His decision to withdraw came while he reportedly faced a suspension for acknowledging what he described as a consensual sexual relationship while defending himself against the lawsuit. The university's honor code requires students to abstain from premarital sex. Speaking on Friday for the first time since arriving at Tulane about a week ago, Retzlaff declined to address the factors that led him to leave BYU, where he spent the past two years. 'I'm just worried about where my feet are,' Retzlaff said. 'I'm just worried about this next chapter, being at Tulane, winning football games.' Tulane coach Jon Sumrall said the university's administration vetted Retzlaff before clearing the way for Sumrall to bring him to the Green Wave, where he'll now have to outperform three other transfer QBs — Kadin Semonza from Ball State, Donovan Leary from Illinois and Brendan Sullivan from Iowa — to win the starting job. 'I was very transparent with the guys in the (quarterback) room. I was also very up front with Jake,' Sumrall said. 'None of them were promised anything in regards to who's going to start.' Retzlaff said he had other offers, but remembered fondly his recruitment by the then-coach of Troy in 2023 — Sumrall. Retzlaff recalled telling his father, Steve, that he could envision playing for Sumrall one day. 'I knew he's a guy I want to be around,' Retzlaff said. Tulane didn't have a scholarship available for Ratzlaff, but the 22-year-old graduate transfer said that being a walk-on suits him because he plays with a chip on his shoulder and doesn't want to be short-sighted about money at the expense of setting himself up for long-term success. 'I know that I'm going to get what I deserve, hopefully, at the next level,' Retzlaff said. 'If that means sacrificing a little bit of money on my side (now) .. so what? Let's go win football games.' First, he has to learn a new offense, which he said has meant a lot of late nights. He also is working to acclimatize himself to oppressively hot, heavy air of swampy south Louisiana in the summer, even wearing a sweat absorbent wrist band on his throwing arm for the first time. 'I'm soaked right now,' he said after practice, contrasting his new home to the cooler, mountainous, semi-arid Salt Lake area. 'I haven't sweat this much in my life.' One adjustment he won't mind is being on a campus where around 40% of students are Jewish. 'It's a cool deal. It's so opposite' from BYU, Retzlaff said. 'My faith is super important to me. So, that fact just made it that much sweeter to come here.' He said he's felt welcome in the locker room as well. 'The guys have been nothing but great to me — every guy on the team and especially the quarterback room,' Retzlaff said, noting that he has tried to eat each meal of each day with different players in an effort to get to know them better. Whoever plays quarterback for Tulane will do so for a team that has appeared in three straight American Conference title games, but also had a lot of turnover after last season — including the loss of one-year starter Darian Mensah to Duke in the transfer portal. Sumrall not only isn't projecting Mensah's replacement, but said he might play two quarterbacks in the Green Wave's season opener against Northwestern in New Orleans on Aug. 30. 'No matter what, this is a new chapter in my life,' Retzlaff said. 'I'm excited to attack it and make the most of it.' ___ AP college football: and

Turner returns to Revolution on loan from Lyon after transfer to French team from Nottingham Forest
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Matt Turner is returning to his Major League Soccer roots as he looks to get back into position to compete for the starting job as U.S. national team's goalkeeper. Turner transferred from England's Nottingham Forest to France's Lyon on Friday, then was loaned to the New England Revolution through June 30, 2026, in a deal that gives the Revolution an option to acquire his rights. Turner will be a designated player on the Revolution's roster for the remainder of the 2025 season. He'll be eligible for targeted allocation money in 2026. Turner left the Revolution for Arsenal ahead of the 2022-23 season but played in just five Europa League and two FA Cup matches and transferred to Forest in August 2023 . He lost the No. 1 spot there after allowing soft goals against Tottenham, Manchester United and Arsenal and was loaned for 2024-25 to Crystal Palace, where he played in just one League Cup game and three FA Cup matches — none after March 1. Turner was displaced by New York City's Matt Freese as the U.S. goalkeeper for this year's CONCACAF Gold Cup. The 31-year-old Turner became the No. 1 U.S. goalkeeper ahead of the 2022 World Cup and had started 14 consecutive competitive matches for the U.S. and 23 of 24 before the Gold Cup. Turner will now look to get back to that level in New England, where he made his pro debut in 2016. He last played for New England in 2022, posting a 53.3% save percentage over five starts. ___ AP soccer:

Bloomberg Business of Sports: A Dark Day for NYC, NFL
Join hosts Michael Barr, Damian Sassower and Vanessa Perdomo for a look at some of the latest headlines and stories in the business of sports. The former football player who fatally shot four people and himself in Midtown Manhattan claimed to have a poorly understood brain disease, putting a renewed focus on the link between head injuries in sports and irreversible brain damage. Shane Tamura was targeting the National Football League's headquarters when he entered 345 Park Avenue, a skyscraper that's also home to offices of private equity giant Blackstone Inc. and consultant KPMG. One NFL employee was injured in the shooting. In 2015, the league reached a $765 million settlement with over 4,500 players who claimed in a lawsuit that the NFL had hidden the dangers of concussions. The league denied any wrongdoing. Years after the settlement, the NFL is still grappling with issues related to head injuries. Bloomberg US sports business reporter Randall Williams joins to discuss his reporting on the aftermath of the shooting and why getting answers on CTE has proven so difficult for the NFL. Also on this week's show: Bloomberg News global business reporter Ira Boudway on the WNBA's growth Morgan Shaw Parker, President and Chief Operating Officer for the WNBA's Atlanta Dream about her team's recent success and growth.
