## Resource

MLS is heating up with explosive moves and shifting power dynamics. Chicago Fire just landed Robert Lewandowski—37 and still scoring like a man half his age—to potentially vault them into Eastern Conference dominance. Meanwhile, San Jose Earthquakes, surprise West leaders, face a tough test as key injuries linger and opponents study their game. The coaching carousel is spinning fast, with seven teams replacing head coaches over the World Cup break, and big-name signings like Griezmann and Méndez adding firepower. Inter Miami, led by a focused Messi (12 goals, 8 assists in 14 games), eyes a second title despite the World Cup hangover. And with the transfer window now open and running until September 2, every team has a chance to reshape their season—making this the most unpredictable stretch yet.
