CARSON, Calif. — The LA Galaxy and the New York Red Bulls have been Major League Soccer mainstays since the league's inaugural season in 1996, signing glamorous players and regularly competing for championships through years of success and setbacks in a league that's perpetually improving and expanding. Yet just a year ago, both of these clubs appeared to be a very long way from the stage they'll share Saturday in the MLS Cup Final. The Galaxy were one of MLS' worst teams after a season of internal turmoil and public fan dissent, while the Red Bulls were merely a steady mediocrity seeking yet another coach to chart a new direction. A year later, these MLS founders are meeting in the league's first Cup final between teams from North America's two biggest markets. "Two original clubs being able to put themselves in this situation, I think it's great," Galaxy coach Greg Vanney said. "To see two clubs that have been at it as long as this league has been around be here, I think it's a special moment. Couldn't be two more different and contrasting styles as well, which could make for an interesting game, and I would imagine a high-intensity game." Everything changed in 2024 after a dismal decade for the Galaxy, who are favored to cap their transformation by winning their team's record sixth MLS championship with a roster that's dramatically different from its past few groups — albeit with one massive injury absence in the final. The transformation of the Red Bulls happened only in the postseason, when a team that hadn't won a playoff game since 2017 suddenly turned into world-beaters under rookie coach Sandro Schwarz. New York struggled through the final three months of league play with only two wins before posting road playoff victories over defending champ Columbus, archrival New York City FC and conference finalist Orlando to storm into the Cup final. "We know about the history (of our club), and we know tomorrow will define what that could mean," Schwarz said Friday. "To feel the pressure for tomorrow, it's necessary, because it's a final, and without pressure it's not possible to bring the best quality on the field." The Red Bulls have never won an MLS Cup, only reaching the championship match once before. What's more, they've somehow never won a Cup in any tournament, although they've collected three Supporters' Shields for MLS' best regular-season record. The Galaxy's trophy case is large and loaded, and those five MLS Cups are on the top shelf. But not much of that team success happened in the past decade for the club that famously brought David Beckham, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Robbie Keane, Steven Gerrard and many other international stars to Hollywood. In fact, this season has ended a grim era for the Galaxy, who haven't lost all year at their frequently renamed home stadium — which was the site of protests and boycotts just a year ago. The club's fans were tired of LA's steady underachievement and ineptitude in the front office run by team president Chris Klein, who was fired in May 2023. One year ago Thursday, the Galaxy hired Will Kuntz, a longtime Los Angeles FC executive who engineered his new club's roster transformation, most dramatically by landing new designated players Gabriel Pec and Joseph Paintsil — two international talents that LAFC also had in its sights. "I give Will and the group up there a ton of credit," Vanney said. "It's one thing to have players you like, and it's a whole other thing to get them here and get them to connect with your group." Pec and Paintsil combined for 32 goals and 27 assists while boosting the incumbent talents of striker Dejan Joveljic and Riqui Puig, the gifted Barcelona product who runs the offense from the midfield. The Galaxy clicked in the postseason, scoring a jaw-dropping 16 goals in four matches. Puig has been the Galaxy's most important player all season, but he won't be in the MLS Cup Final after tearing a knee ligament late in last week's conference final victory over Seattle. The loss of Puig — who somehow kept playing on his injured knee, and even delivered the game-winning pass to Joveljic — makes the Galaxy even more difficult to anticipate. "He played a lot in the regular season, so it was not so easy to analyze all these games now without him," Schwarz said. "But the main focus is to analyze what we need to do, because it's not clear now how they're playing without him." The Galaxy could give some of Puig's responsibilities to Marco Reus, the longtime Dortmund standout who joined LA in August. Reus is nursing a hamstring injury, but Vanney expects him to play.Activating your credit card? Don’t skip the mobile wallet step

Naomi Osaka is back in training. The former World No. 1 made her highly anticipated return to the WTA tour this year, having taken a hiatus to give birth to her first child in 2023. But she was forced to wrap up her season early, announcing last month that she would be unable to compete due to a back injury. In her 2024 comeback from maternity leave, Osaka posted a 22-17 win-loss record. She also earned her first Top 10 victory in two years by beating Jelena Ostapenko in the first round of the US Open and notched a total of six Top 20 victories on the year. And after starting the season unranked, Osaka currently sits at No. 60 in the WTA rankings. Now, the four-time Grand Slam winner is preparing for a big 2025 - but had a 'panic' on her first day of preseason training. Taking to Instagram, Osaka revealed that shortly before she got back on the court, she realised that her nails were too long to properly hold her tennis racket. "Unhinged behaviour," Osaka wrote, sharing a picture of her extensions on Instagram after cutting them off. "The way I panicked yesterday because I knew my nails were potentially too long to hold my racket... My nail beds will never recover." Osaka was able to quickly put that issue behind her and got to grips with a full workout alongside her coach Patrick Mouratoglou, sharing a short clip after their first session at UCLA's training facility. "I'm making a video on how we've survived the first day of preseason," she said. "I'm alive, I'm very grateful." Osaka then posted the video on Instagram with the amusing caption: "It’s giving 'call the ambulance.'" The 27-year-old hired Mouratoglou as her coach back in September , after she lost in the second round of the US Open. At the time, she admitted that she was hesitant to make the decision, as Mouratoglou was formerly the long-time coach of Serena Williams . "The fact that he was Serena's coach made me want to avoid him just because his persona is so big," Osaka said. "This isn't rude because I found out it's not true, but I didn't know if he was a good coach or he coached Serena. "Then I met him, talked to him, worked with him on the court. He absolutely is a really good coach. "I think I'm at a stage in my life that I don't want to have regrets. "I'd rather pull the trigger on something and I don't want to say 'fail', but I feel like I really need to learn as much as possible in this stage of my career." After joking that she's happy to have survived their first day of preseason, it seems Mouratoglou is the perfect coach to get Osaka back into Grand Slam shape.Gen Zer left in tears after being rejected for job due to age, oversharing: ‘They want lying slaves’

‘Unhinged behaviour’ – Naomi Osaka shares her panic as she survives first day of preseason training

Fox News senior congressional correspondent Chad Pergram reports on Matt Gaetz withdrawing from attorney general consideration on ‘Your World.’ "I’ll be seeing you in all the old familiar places," goes the song by crooner Billie Holiday. Those who toil in Congress certainly saw a lot of old friends in the old familiar places at the U.S. Capitol recently. First, there was Vice President-elect and Sen. JD Vance , R-Ohio. Vance hasn’t even been a senator for two years. Yet he’s now bound for the vice presidency at age 40. He’ll be the youngest vice president since John Breckenridge worked alongside President James Buchanan in 1857. SPRINT TO CONFIRM TRUMP NOMINEES KICKS OFF IN JANUARY But Vance hasn’t been spotted at the Capitol much since President-elect Trump drafted him as his running mate in July. Vance was at the Capitol in June for votes. Gone for Fourth of July. Then selected as running mate. Then nowhere near the Capitol for the August recess. Vance only dipped into the Capitol for a doctor’s appointment with the attending physician to Congress in September. Then there was the election. Vance didn’t parachute back to Capitol Hill right away. But he did come back last week for votes – and primarily to shuttle Mr. Trump’s cabinet nominees through a series of meetings with senators. Vance facilitated sessions between senators and defense secretary nominee Pete Hegseth in his office in the Russell Senate Office Building. Other meetings were in the Strom Thurmond Room in the Senate wing of the Capitol for former Rep. and former attorney general nominee Matt Gaetz, R-Fla. At one point, Vance also took a strange diversion to the secure suite of rooms on the House side of the Capitol used by the House Intelligence Committee. It was never clear why Vance went there, who he met with or what was discussed. Vice President-elect JD Vance, R-Ohio, left, with embattled ex-Congressman Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., last week on Capitol Hill, in Washington, D.C. (AP Photo/Ben Curtis) A scrum of reporters tried to track Vance’s whereabouts when he and his entourage disappeared from the Strom Thurmond Room. But the press corps stumbled upon someone else: former Trump Chief of Staff and former Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C. "I’m just leading a tour, guys," said Meadows when asked if he was there to talk with Vance or work on the transition. "This is just a private visit." OHIO CONGRESSMAN VYING TO REPLACE JD VANCE IN THE SENATE SAYS TRUMP'S AGENDA MUST BE PRIORITY ON 'DAY ONE' But Vance was soon back in the Strom Thurmond Room to talk with Gaetz. Gaetz resigned from Congress after the President-elect tapped him as his first attorney general candidate. The Florida Republican abruptly resigned from the House the next day. Vance escorted Gaetz into the Senate wing of the Capitol last week for individual forums with members of the Judiciary Committee. After his conclaves with senators, an ebullient Gaetz left the Capitol – departing via the House side. Gaetz, left, abruptly forfeited his congressional seat as soon as he was named as President Trump's pick to head the Department of Justice. In hindsight, this resignation appears to have been in haste. (Kent Nishimura/Getty Images) "Senators have been giving me a lot of good advice. I'm looking forward to a hearing. Folks have been very supportive. They've been saying we're going to get a fair process. So it's a great day of momentum for the Trump-Vance administration," said Gaetz. "We're going to tackle fentanyl. We’re going to ensure that we don't have the DoJ involved in censorship any more. And make sure that we get the country back on track." Gaetz withdrew from consideration 18 hours later. Gaetz announced that his nomination "was unfairly becoming a distraction." He added that "there is no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffle." GAETZ-GATE: NAVIGATING THE PRESIDENT-ELECT'S MOST BAFFLING CABINET PICK Colleague Alexis McAdams reported that Gaetz reached the conclusion on his own. Gaetz’s resignation letter to the House made it clear that he did "not intend" to serve in the new Congress starting in January – even though he just won re-election. So now Gaetz is a former congressman. He won’t be Attorney General and he’s a former nominee. And he won’t be a future congressman. Given the ex-congressman's current career trajectory, Gaetz's future presence on Capitol Hill will likely be limited, to say the least. (Reuters) So, chalk down Gaetz as someone who probably won’t materialize around the Capitol often in the future. Until he wants to. After all, former members are always allowed back into the building. After Gaetz bowed out of the attorney general slot, I ran over to the Senate where I followed Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, to the Hart Senate Office Building, and persuaded Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., to chat with reporters by the Senate Carriage Entrance. Once back inside, a man stood in a first floor hallway near the Brumidi Corridors, checking his phone. No one else paid him any attention. I’m not even sure other reporters had any idea who the man was. HOUSE ETHICS COMMITTEE PLANS TO DISCUSS PROBE INTO GAETZ AFTER RESIGNATION FROM CONGRESS "Glad you aren’t around here any more on a day like this?" I asked. The man chuckled and nodded in agreement. It was former Sen. David Vitter, R-La. Fox News senior congressional correspondent Chad Pergram ran into former Sen. David Vitter, R-La., on Capitol Hill recently, shortly after Matt Gaetz bowed out of contention for the AG slot. Vitter seemed content with the fact that he no longer had an obligation to report there for work on days like that. (AP Photo) But another former member also graced the Capitol that same day. Mostly to hector House Ethics Committee Chairman Michael Guest, R-Miss., and his preparation of a report on the conduct of Gaetz. "I said, ‘f--k it. I’ll come,’" said former Rep. George Santos , R-N.Y. And there he was. THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO POTENTIALLY RELEASING THE ETHICS COMMITTEE REPORT ON GAETZ The House expelled Santos nearly a year ago, for, well, having less credibility as to who he was than Milli Vanilli. "I’m completely, completely unrestrained from talking to you guys," said Santos to the press corps. Santos was looking for Guest, the author of the House Ethics Committee report which ultimately led to the expulsion of the New York Republican. Former Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., was also at the Capitol in the aftermath of Gaetz's resignation. (Tom Williams/CQ-Roll Call, Inc via Getty Images) Santos became just the sixth member ever expelled from the House. But as an expelled member, your status around the Capitol is the same as a former lawmaker who resigned, retired or lost. You are a former member. That means Santos has access to the Capitol complex. It’s a loophole that House members said they would fix after they booted Santos – but never did. "If he runs away from me, I'll go stand in front of his office and scream at him through his door," said Santos of Guest. "Have you been in touch with Gaetz at all?" asked one reporter. FORMER REP. GEORGE SANTOS PLEADS GUILTY IN FEDERAL WIRE FRAUD, ID THEFT CASE "No. No. He's busy. He's lobbying the Senate, which he should," replied Santos. Note this was the same day Gaetz was at the Capitol meeting with senators – but just hours before he withdrew his nomination for attorney general. "What do you think of Trump's other nominees so far?" asked a reporter. Santos, who lauded the President-elect's Cabinet picks when asked, has said he's not been in contact with Gaetz as of late. ( Win McNamee/Getty Images) "Great. It's fantastic. It's transformative. It's a proverbial wrecking ball to the swamp. And they're dealing with an existential crisis. And they're grappling for their lives because the American people have served them with a existential crisis and a mandate with Donald Trump ," said Santos. "Is it fair to say you have an ax to grind as he was the one who led the charge against you?" asked a reporter of Santos about Guest. "Do you remember that my ethics report was incomplete and that there was a footnote that said we do not recommend any kind of punishment because it's not a complete report. And yet he still went and filed an expulsion resolution of errors full of misleading information that basically contradicted what was in the report?" retorted Santos. "So he's full of sh-t." THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO GAETZ'S STATUS IN THE HOUSE AND THE ETHICS COMMITTEE REPORT Reporters then pivoted to whether the House Ethics Committee should publish its report on Gaetz – even though he’s a former member. "He’s not scared," replied Santos. "I don't blame him." "Do you plan to request a pardon?" asked another reporter. Santos claims he doesn't "intend," nor is he "entertaining," talks of a potential pardon. (AP Photo/Stefan Jeremiah) "That's not a conversation I've had. I don't intend on that conversation," said Santos. "I am not entertaining that conversation." Santos also told his audience that he did "not plan on running for office again." Which means Santos may continue to surface at the Capitol, unabated, despite the ignominy of his expulsion. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Vance will certainly return to the Capitol periodically as Vice President to preside over the Senate and potentially break ties. But Gaetz, Meadows, Vitter, Santos and soon, Vance, all have the same status. They’re former members. And that means they can return to the Capitol any time they want. Chad Pergram currently serves as a senior congressional correspondent for FOX News Channel (FNC). He joined the network in September 2007 and is based out of Washington, D.C.
