After a disastrous World Cup restart, the Quakes have rediscovered some form — thanks to the Löwen trade, a shift to a back three, and more heroics from Reid Roberts, who had a lot to say after scoring a 98th min equalizer at Levi's on Saturday:

🚨 UEFA want to CHANGE the way VAR is used across European football.
The governing body is launching “Clear Line”, a new platform featuring more than 150 refereeing scenarios aimed at creating greater consistency in decisions.
🔸 VAR should ONLY intervene for clear and obvious errors.
🔸 No more interventions for microscopic incidents.
🔸 The on-field referee must return to being the main decision-maker.
🔸 UEFA’s approach is very different to the way FIFA used VAR at the last World Cup.
🗣️ “VAR does not referee the match. It is only there for clear situations and obvious errors.”

Today is my last day as Soccer America’s Editor in Chief & General Manager. I have been editing SA for almost 41 years. I began writing for SA in 1974 and for France Football in 1978. A long time ago! I’ve loved just about every minute of it (and just about all of you!) but the job is hard work and I look forward to cutting back. (I’ll continue to write.) SA will be in great hands as my dear friend Mike Woitalla takes over as Editor in Chief. 🙏
With all the confusion about the Oakland Roots playing at the Oakland Coliseum, one thing is clear: The initial hope felt when 26,000 fans packed the stadium last year now feels so far, far away: @oaklandrootssc #knowyourroots soccerbayarea.com/2026/07/30…
